Secre tary^ Stat?* Kellogg has ??> in tention of resigning bin portfolio. Thin information is pertinent at thla time because of the publlca tlon of Jiriout report* in F.urope to the effect tlmi Ambassador Hougbton'H visit to the ' United Btatra mlgh be taken a? the lore runner of his promotion to the highest place in the Cabinet. JEurope had come to the conclu Hlon that because Mr. Kellogg an the American ambaaaador to Qreat Britain was elevated to .the Secretaryship of State, the same might happen to Mr. Houghton. But there la to be no vacancy wt the Department of State because Mr. Kellogg Is in good health and has no deaire to resign. Nor does, Mr. Coolldge want him to do ho The rnmom arose because Mr. Kellogg felt it necessary to leave his deiik for several days recently ^?pBouth. . It la Important, on the other hand, to clear up the reasons for |lr. Houghton's visit to the I'ntt ed States. Thla correspondent has learned that Mr. Houghton was ndt summoned home as was gen erally reported but hnd expressed a desire to confer with the Pres ident and Secretary of State, and. of course, was told that he might como to Washington. But the In itiative came from Mr. Houghton. Naturally there were several matters on" w.hlch Mr. Houghton sought the counsel and advice of i his superiors snd he had many thine* which he wished to bring, forcefully to the attention of the ? ington Ooverninent. One. for nee. was his view that the De partment of State ought to waive ita objectiona to the flotation In the United States of a loan to the German potaah monopoly. Mr. Houghton through his residence in Berlin aa the American ambas sador to Germany became familiar with the potash situation and he haa been besought In London by British and German Interests to do What he could toward swaying the Washington authorities to lilt the ban on loana. When Mr. Houghton returned here, however, he found that, contrary to some published reports. It was not Sec retary of Commerce Hoover alone or Secretary Kellogg of the De partment of State, who stood against the lending of money to iiovern mental monopolies abroad. I5t that President Coolldge him-. I M if was adamant on the subject. 1U found that Mr Coolldge had dmroved every single step taken 1 by the Departments of Stste and Commerce in the long correspond eriee that haa been golng_on with New York bankers relative to for I fits loans. Mr. Houghton dlacna?ed the il European situation and In his coV?renco wllh tS? prIT p>. Rome of hi. Tie*. Th. pub lication of remark# attributed to him canned aome embarrassment ; at the Whlti' Houee but II l? tin ddrstood that thla incident now is closed Mr. Houghton goes hack to Europe with the full confidence of the Washington Government and with a clearer Idea of the ild?e-KellosK-Hooirer policy ?ban he had before.

Golther, gen oral sales manager, announces the appointment of N. W Dully. W. K. P. tiffin, H. S. Toxey and Bux i Ion Whltr as managers of the four divisions which will participate in Hit) general stock sales.

It ia reported that two I of the' division manager* have ul i ready signed up the three leaders of the groups In their division. "Developments in the- last few days have been most encourag ing." Bays W. G. Galther. "The people realize the tremendous need for this hotel and have def initely determined that the hotel shall be built. Special emphasis should, be placed ot? the Invest ment feature of the stock being sold. We are all sold on the ho tel as a community requirement and probably would be willing to put our money Into the project from that standpoint alone. "The executive committee has made such a thorough Investlga | tion that its members ar? con ; vinced that Elizabeth City's new I hotel will be a good paying In vestment; and. with the develop ments taking place In tlila section I and with the growth of business which Is actually in sight. It can j be reasonably expected that tho j stock now being purchased will have a greatly enhanced value In ,a comparatively short time. "To build thia hotel, and to | make it the greatest possible suc cess as a community Institution, It j is necessary for everybody to take i some part In the enterprise and to make as large an Investment as possible. In order to do this, the committee has provided that payments shall be extended over :a period of 14 months, thu* en i ahllng every citizen to handle larger blocks of stock than if sold , on a cash basis." A meeting of the executive com* I mlttee Is being held tonight, pre paratory to starting the Initial sales work. While the amount has ' not Wen given out, It is definitely known that the executive commit tee's quota for personal subscrip tion will be completed by tonight's meeting so that the next steps in j the financing program can he car i Hed out. L. R. Foreman, associate gener nl sales manager. Is authority for the statement that in all the nur ?rounding territory Elizabeth City's ' new hotel is being pointed to a? the outstanding accomplishment of this city. "The interest In-ing shown in tills project Is surprls Ing," he says. "I hive visited many places in the surrounding territory, and find the greatest In terest In the successful outcome of .this enterprise. Elisabeth City Is j the natural trade center for this | territory and. naturally, the stlr > rounding territory looks to this ; community for leadership In all community projects. "We have already rec? ived a tremendous lot of One advertising since the Inception of this under taking. Every effort should lv? put forth now by every loyal res ident In the community to com plete the financing as quickly as possible and get the getual con struction of the hotel under way. "Elizabeth City has never had an undertaking which has meant so much for the welfare and de velopment of the community, and ? every one should gladly do his 1 part to Insure the mtrcess of the ' enterprise."
