(lilt* and (iundidatet* We clip from the sprightly Chapel Hill Weekly: Many years ago, when a child was born to a certain multi-millionaire j in New York, one of the newspapers! published a photograph of the inTant the day after its birth. A friend of | the city editor met him 011 the street 1 and complimented him upon his ~en- j terprlse in getting a picture so promptly. The city editor grinned. "Oh, we knew any baby would do," he Haid. "so we Just dug into our' flies. The picture you saw printed was one of King Alfonso of Spain taken when he wan a week old." The Weekly cites the forego ing bit of history in connection with the confusion of a cut of Miss Nancy Battle with one of Miss Frances Gray by one of the newspapers of the State during the recent tour of the Carolina Playmakers. The j Weekly continues: The photograph was labeled "Miss1 Frances- Gray of Chapel Hill." Most of the paper's readers, of course, didn't know the difference, but here in Chapel Hill we recognized the face as none othej- than that of Miss Nancy Hattle. Itut what's the dif ference? When it conies to a photo graph, one Flaymaker does ?h well as another, provided a good looker is selected. Which may bo all very true of the Carolina Playmakers, or of babies either, for that mat ter, but The Advance is willing to testify that it will not work in the case of Congressional candidates. We'll call our read ers to witness that Van Martin is not only handsome but he looks more like a Congressman right now than does Hallet S. Ward. And yet, The Advance was hardly on the street yester day before subscribers began calling us on the telephone about having the wrong cut ? Martin's cut in place of that of Lindsay Warren. And the edi tor's progress about the streets all morning Thursday was im peded by those who sought to stop him and joke him about The Advance's latest faux paa. But why worry, anyway? Ov er thisaway it is generally con ceded that neither the gentle man from Beaufort nor the gen tleman from Washington Coun ty will be the next Congressman from this district, Albemarle voters feeling assured that, when Congressman Ward re tires to his private practice at Little Washington, Congress man Aydlett will take up the matter of representing thd Firmt Congressional District at the National Capital. - NORFOLK COTTON March ? Middling (closed today) ...... tie Middling (opened loay) ...28 3-4c Newspapers and Towns The following from the edi torial page of the Greensboro News has intrigued our interest and, we rather imagine, will foe found at least suggestive by our readers : Generally speaking. a town may be judged fairly accurately by its newspapers. Look at Boston, for in stance ? what better measure of the extent to which the old city has been buried under a landslide of low-j grade Immigration could be desired than the astounding decadence of the Boston newspapers? Occasion ally one comes across a center of cul ture and Intelligence that has no ad equate press" representation; but when has one ever found a squalid and vulgar town that has anything but sloppy and vulgar newspapers? Oswald Garrison Vlllard has re cently written a brilliant and blister ing lamentation over the commer cialization of" the. American press. It would have been more reasonable to lament the commercialization of the country, for "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," and its press is the mouthpiece of a people. The Advance hopes always to present itself as a mirror of the best in Elizabeth City, although it must of necessity at times re flect something of the worst as well. What it prints is written in a desire to elevate rather than to drag down the moral standard of its community. ? As ioes any human agency, it falls short at times of it highest ideals. If our readers will share with us the responsibility for our failures we shall the more quickly, we believe, rise abovu them. Charleston, South. Carolina, has recently added motorcycle fire cars to its fire-fighting equipment, the idea being to use these cars in responding to still alarms when only small blazes ire to be extinguished. The idea seems a good one. DAN DOBB * SAYS - The National Shoe Buyers held a gpeakerlesa banquet, and this is a plan that should become popular. ? ? ? Detroit's champion rifle shot is a man of 82. so never read fine print in a bad light. ? ? ?

First Methoist Church, Friday night, beginning at 7:30 I o'clock, will consist of the following J reels: "Shoeing the Horse of Progress " "The Serpent's Tooth." "1'assing o( the Brooms." "The Atlantic Fleet in th? West Indies." ? The Bible picture, "The Migra 1 tion." t>eing the account of tho wuu 1 derings of Abraham. i While the pictures are provided especially for the children, and the children are intensely interested :n i them, they are proving of equal, 11 net greater interest, to the grown : ups. The industrial pictures enable | the seer to learn the process of man : ufacture-of some of the most neces ' ary modern improvements without | the labor and the inconvenience of | visiting the factories. The Bible picture, the archaeological truth of which is guaranteed by Dr. Edgar J. | Banks, the noted archaelogiat, brings before one the scenes of which the Old Testament is the his torical record. The public, old and young, are cordially Invited without imit of de nomination. "I am through with men," says a Kansas City woman as she gets a di vorce.

By refraining from all inter ference before the reports are made, Poincare has at one time avoided hampering the work of the commis sions and kept a free hand for him self in the end. France is terribly worried by the fall of the franc, it is disappointed by the recent col lapse of the Francophile Belgian cabinet of Tlieunis. The whole sit uation is Hieeting. profoundly affect ed by a sense of insecurity and doubt. Political change here is at least possible if not probable; the Poincare ministry has only tempor arily survived severe attacks and re mains vulnerable, ft for the present possessing a renewed lease of life. Writing froin England, I empha sized the general note of optimism. In this first despatch from Paris I would at least lay equal emphasis upon the note of caution which un derlies all French comment from all quarter*. France is a shade, per haps more than a shade, more hope ful than In the recent past, but also its financial situation is more alarm ing. There are obvious reasons why there should be even a forced note of optimism. In two or three wwks the two commissions will make reports which will break new ground, submit meth ods and means for the restoration of German finances, for balancing the German budgets. They will cer tainly insist upon larger German payments than the Germans expect, they will place at a higher figure than anyone had expected the amount of German capital which has fled the country, but they ar?* just as certain to insist upon the eco nomic unity of Germany, that is. up on the termination of the economic phase of the occupation of the Ruhr. Will France ? not merely or main ly I'oincare ? accept this decision? One may say and think with a de gree of accuracy that the chances of French acceptance have increased very materially in the last fe*.v weeks, but to judge from the first preliminary round of the investiga tion it seems to me that the French mind is not yet made up. that it is too early to forecast the French de cision with any degree of accuracy. MacDonald has removed the element of suspicion. French and British eM changes are more cordial, more frank than at any time for years. But there remains one dominating question: la there any easy or even possible line of reconciliation b?- I tween the vital Interests of the tw ? countries, assuming good faith an 1 confidence on both sides? That remains a question; that is why I say that while hope Is manl fest, hesitation is not less discover able. We are approaching a greut crisis, the chance of adjustment ar*? improving, but with the atmosphere favorable, the realities of the prob lem remain solid in the French mind, and have not yet been in any decree dealt with.
