FINE PROSPECTS FOR PORT DEVELOPMENT Dredging of Pasquotank River In Harbor Would Increase Dock Facilities One of I In* biggest developments in Klizabcth Cirv's port facilities anil tcminal warehouse possibilities is planned in the dredging of l'.isijuo tank Kiver on the Camden sitle. op-, posite the Klizabcth City water front. Congress has passed a bill { authorizing the survey and in a| short time government engineers will < determine the extent of improve ments the city's commerce will war rant. The passage of the measure pro viding for a survey of Kiizaaeth | City harbor is largely due to the ef forts of the Klizabcth t'ity Chamber! of Commerce. The harbor has not enough room for the vessels now (dying in and out l'ast|uotauk Hivcr. Along the; whole Klizabcth City waterfront from a point opposite the Norfolk Southern Railroad Ducks, to a point opimsite the Klizabcth City ship- ? yards, mud flats block the harbor and leave no anchorage for vessels. This condition makes it necessary for steamers to go astern and ahead many times in order to turn around. An Klizaheth City law prohibiting any vessel from lying at tiny of the , city wharves for more than 4S hours' at a time makes it necessary for vessels to seek other anchorage than Kiizabcth City's limited docks, in or der that other vessels may have a chance to tic i:|>. Willi tin- improvement of tin* Cam ilcn side of the river, it would lie possible to develop Machchle Isl and into ideal sites for factories, warehouses, terminals and wharves, j This would almost double the water front space of the city, as well as that of the harbor. Ileitis on the ' Camden side it would be developed inure rapidly than some point, under | the city's regulations. At the same time Elizabeth City would derive iu-1 directly no small part of the benefit of the improvements which would he used altogether by Elizabeth City trade. DR. WILLIAMS IN SHILOH | l)r.

I'erry. the conuractor, states that lie expects to have all the foundation completed within a month. Enough piles were used under that part of the foundation Imilt over the marsh, to reach more than five miles if laid end to end. In some places three or four were pin-dowelled to gether and driven until they struck hard bottom.

The sur plus and reserves of the First <Sc Cit izens National oil June 20, 1022 were reported at $172,200.70. Surplus ami reserves on Sept. IT, the latest ex amination. were reported as $102, ,002.10. an inerease of $20,783.40. The facts are of peculiar interest in view of the recent shortage in the accounts of John 1>. Sykes, Jr., a young collection clerk who abscond ed on Sept. 2 with funds, the exact amount of which never was made public. Sykc's defalcation was said' to have been about $2.7.000. but the j exact figures were never given out. a fact which created a suspicion in some quarters that the shortage was greater than actually reported. There is no word from the miss- i ing clerk. This week the I'inkerton National Detective Agency lias post ed a reward of $1,000.00 for the young man in every bank lobby and police station in the Dinted States! and Canada. The poster offering \ III., iinv.-inl curries two nhotoirrnnhs I of voting Sykos and a description of; liiui and the woman who is supposed to have accompanied him. The faith of John 1>. Sykes, Sr.' in his boy. remains uns haken. He believes that his son is the victim of evil influences and that the boy will make restitution when lie comes to1 his senses. In a letter to a local newspaper the father says: "Everyone that knew J. 1). loved him. because he was lovable. I lis j soul was white and clean, lie was, honest and honorable?something.

He was employed in the pos tal service under Dr. Pendleton, be fore the late war. "Nearly everyone has seemed to try to lighten our burden with words of comfort, visits and their acts of 1 kindness. We have been over* j whelmed with a sense of the deepest] gratitude for all these tokens of true] friendship. Practically the whole | community seem to be our dearest j friends ami helped to administer the balm of Gilead to our crushed and aching hearts.
