CLERK SIGNS ORDER
Differences between the Eliza
beth City Hotel Corporation and
th?' Associated IloteU, Inc., wMch
| came out Into th? open recently
I with the filing of a suit by the ho
tel corporation alleging breach of
contract on the part of the de
fendants, will b?* fought out at the
' October term of Federal Court
here. It was learned today.
The Associated Hotels, Inc.,
through their attorneys, Thomp
son & Wilson, of this city, ob
tained an order Tuesday from'
Ernest L. Sawyer, clerk In Super-!
lor Couri here, removing the case
to Federal Court. Mr. Sawyer
signed the order on the basis of J
evidence that the action was be
tween residents of separate States,
and involved more than $3,000.
Members of the law firm of Eh
ringhaus & Hall, of this city, rep
resenting the Ellzabeh City Hotel
Corporation, offered no comment
today on this latest turn in litiga
tion. The corporation seeks can
cellation of a lease with the As
sociated Hotels, Inc., formerly the |
William Foor Hotel Operating j
(Company, on the ground that the!
terms of the lease already have'
been violated by the lessors. The1
latter vigorously deny that, de-j
daring they are ready to operato(
the new Virginia Dare Hotel here>
whffn?Hf?r It, <4. anrt fur-1
nlshed.
Meanwhile, among the 636;
stockholders in the hotel there are
many who voice a feeling of relief,
over the fact that the case will bej
tried in Federal Court, for thej
reason that the docket In that)
court Is normally light, and the,
suit will be tried and disposed of,i
in all probability, during the ap
proaching term, which will begin]
Tuesday, October 11.
Wth the congestion of the civil'i
docket in Superior Conrt, the suit
normallywould not have come up
for trial until some indefinite fu-j
ture term, possibly two or three
year* from now. It was explained.!

"All right," unswered Mr. Ron

to vIsH a towering memorial to

the tiovernment on the scene of

distance from the terminus of tho.
proposed bridge, persons here whoj
ure behind the campaign believe
It in prcdistiued of early success,
provided only that the section as
a whole swings Into line behind It.
The value of the project to
North Carolina is seen in the fact
that it would supply the last link
in the State Highway System from
Murphy, in the fur southeastern
corner of the Stute, to Mant?o, the
easternmost county seat. Falling
well within the expressed objec-j

It Is felt that the road and bridge

was estimated, but the (lamagcH
will be small. j
Residents of lite area who had

evacuate the territory.
lied Cross officials say the new|
flood will not materially hamper i
rehabilitation. Relief agencies arei
still caring for 2fi,000 persons i

Arkansas City's lone hope for;
escaping Inundation was the low

which it was believed might be
able to carry '?ff a large enough
volume of the Arkunsas River
flood to prevent the water sweep

Mr. James began the year with I
25 sheep, of which he purchased ?
live last fall. From the 26, lie re-|
reived 27 lambs, which he sold
for $lf>2. He also clipped 13?
pounds of wool which netted him
$3r>.8S, making a total of flin.HK.j
From the five sheep bought lasti
fall, Mr. James obtained six lambs,,
which brought 9U<i, al|d 42
pounds of wool, which sold for
910.47. Subtracting from this to-[
tal of |4fi.?7 the cost price of the
Sheep, 92U, this enterprising far

of 9^0.47, more than doubling
his money the first year.
The cost of growing the sheep
was negligible, since Mr. James

cans to think straight. Some of
our communities, which have giv
en way to lynch law. are suddenly
stricken with shame and confu
sion st finding themselves in such
company. I.aw defying citizens
had not foreseen what dire conse
quencea may follow repudiation of
constitutionalism. They little
dreamed that individual disregard
of tile courts Is but the overture
to the mad music of the dictator
ship of the proletariat.
"Now we are suddenly brought
up standing to confront the ques
tion of whether we shall carry out
tin- orderly processes of legislative
and Judicial procedure; or wheth
er we shall yield to mob clamor.
Whatever may be our sympathies
with these two condemned aliens
they have been found guilty of
murder and entitled to the extreme
penalty of the law. A brave and
honest Christian governor of the
slate of Massachusetts assisted by
a council of three eminent public
ist* of trained minds and stout
hearts reviewed the case and con
firmed the verdict of the court*.
"It must be understood by the
whole world that America is a
nation of law and not to be inti
midated by popular clamor at
home or abroad. Wo shall do
what is right In K(|n of conse
quences. America cannot be
frightened Into any course of ac
tion that Is contrary to our con
victions. Justice confronted by
mob madness stands steady and
serene."
