Man and Office Meet Some weeks ago The Advance discussed editorially the impor tance of capable representation of Pasquotank County in the General Assembly and the diffi culty, generally speaking, of getting suitable men to offer themselves for County Repre sentative. Referring to the fact that with P. H. Williams and T. W. Costen as State Senators the First District had able repre sentation in the upper house, this newspaper expressed the opinion that these two should have support of an able Repre sentative of Pasquotank in the lower branch of the General As sembly, ? a man, say, of the type of J. K. Wilson. At that time we entertained little if any hope that Mr. Wil son would consent to go before the voters in the primary as a candidate for that office. We mentioned him merely because he occurred to us as a man of the type who could -be of real service to the County. Needless to say, then, this newspaper is pleased beyond measure to learn that Mr. Wil son will be a candidate for the office. Knowing of no other aspirant at this time we can sav without prejudice that we hope there will be no other candidate for this office. Wilson, Wil liam* and Costen should make a team in the next General As sembly that will be a credit to the section of the State which they represent. The Democratic party might go far and do worse than nom inate Josephus Daniels for Pres ident, Mr. Daniels himself is re ported1, with puckers about his eyes, to have told a reporter for a New York newspaper the oth er day. But what we want to know is: Was Mr. Daniels quoting a recent editorial in The Advance or was he just talking? Now is the time for all good baseball fans and true to conic to the aid of the Kiwunis Cli'b in moving grand stand, bleach ers and fence of the Main Street Ball Park to the new grounds on the school property. NORFOLK COTTON March IS Middling (cIom toda/t 2H%e Middling (opened today) . ...28V4C KIWANIS CLUB WANTS ! BASEBALL FANS' HELP Baseball in Elisabeth City tb Is ? summer will be played on the' grounds back of the old high school, building Instead of on the Main street diamond as heretofore. W. M. Baxter, owner of the West! Main street ball park has generously; donated the grounds free of charge to the people of Elizabeth City( for the last ten or twelve years, but; now this property Is to be developed as a residential section an it has gen-1 erally been understood that the ball i park would have to be moved. I However, it remained for the K I- , jwunis Club at their biweekly lun-i cheon last Friday to take the ini tiative in sponsoring the moving of the fence and grand stand from the Main street diamond to the school ground diamond. The tlmo set for the undertaking Is Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.; and at that lime Kiwatiians and all who will help them In the undertak ing are asked to be at the Main street diamond armed with hammer and saw. or some other like instru ment of warfare. The Kiwanis Club is appealing through The Advance to all base ball fans in Elizabeth City, to come to their help in the enterprise which the., have undertaken. TWEN rv -FIVE LIVES LOST OFF HATTERAS New York. March 13. ? With the power lines along the coastal states seriously crippled as a result of the storm of the last two days. Its force seems spent today. _The serious damage at sea was the loss of the Ward Line freighter Santiago off Cape Hatteras with 25 men. Eight lost their lives in ?u* VfTfk from me storm. TEACHES HOUSEWIVES MAKE HOSES BLOOM To make roses and sweetpeis bloom in the kitchen Is one of the things the French chef. Alderlc W. Rlendeau. 1s teaching at the high school cafeteria this week. Every | afternoon at the end of an instruc-| tive talk and after pertinent ques-j tions have been answered, Mr. Rien deau with a few delt and sure move-! ments adorns several cakes with beautiful flowers. A number of re- 1 cipes that he has made famous, and; for whom he has been offered much ! money, are given out each afternoon. J Problems In baking that confront the housewife are taken up ami! straightened out by Mr. Riendau, who says "I am here 'to help you, so ask me the thing that bothers you In your cooking and no matter what kind of stove you use. I will tell you yopr trouble and how to avoid It." On Wednesday afternoon, a large number heard the lecture, and en-j Joyed the delicious cake that was( cut and passed around. Every af ternoon one of these cokes Is cut and served to those present. Mrs. L. S. Blades won the cake that was given away Wednesday by drawing names; and her initial was done in Icing. During the afterooon, a complete dinner was taken out of the oven all cooked by the single Jet and not dis turbed for four hours. The roast had been selected as the toughest piece of meat in the meat market, and when cut was found to be tender and very appetizing, showing the benefit of correct heat control in the oven. Only two more afternoons are left in which to benefit by Chef Rlen dau's advice, to get the recipes and to win a cake. GARRETT BROTHERS MUST SERVE TERMS Cumberland Courthouse, Va., Mar. 13. ?

"This indefinite renewal of the contracts did not confer any right on the operating public service corpor ations to enjoin the city from con-' structing its own plant. The general ro e is indisputable that the fran chise to a private corporation, or its contract to supply light and water or other public utility to a city, does not prevent the city from construct ing and operating like public utili ties of Its own, unless the franchise or contract expresses or clearly Im plies an exclusive right. In two cases It was held that a city had th right to construct and operate its own plant before Its -ontract with the public service corporation had expired. .i?"Th<; upon whlch ?>>e Plain tiffs rely in their action are not con trolling, for in them, there was eith er an exclusive franchise, or the vio lation of a contract right bv the at InS1^, * tSk.e " away or by Impos *?]T .PD" ln addu'on to those con tracted for or conferred by state constitutions or statutes.

"It seems also clear under the authorities cited that in the absence 1 of an exclusive contract to supply the public service the plaintiffs had no legal right which was impaired by the acts of 1919 and 1921. express ly authorizing the municipality to construct its own system of public utilities.
