Representative II. <1. Connor* Jr.. of Wilson. N.

"We don't have anv grift or i1 attempts at bribery among our citv officials; the citv wouldn't!1 I stand for that, and none of our | ufieers would stoop that low," i declared .> prominent Edenton citizen tbi-- week, "but we did J have something to happen here), i few days ago that was about ?: is sensational as your turn-upj: over in Elizabeth City." !( "It seems." he eontijnied.

MURDERER DIED BY OWN HAND Waterfield's Body Found, in Skiff, Where He Shot Himself Weeks Ago The law's hunt for George S. Waterfield ended this week, when the body of the man who cruelly murdered 17-year-old llertha Ansell three weeks ago, was found in a Cove oft* Fur hy's island, eight miles from Currituck Courthouse. The body was lm<lly decomposed, and the top of Waterfield's head was blown oil'. His gun and au empty shell lay In the boat. A coroner's jury decided that Water field died by his own hand. He evidently had killed himself the night he escaped after killing Miss Anscll. and wounding her compan ion. William Tatem. For Water field soon realized the rashness of his act. the futility of escape, and believing all that was near and dear to him was lost, decided to end it all. The body was discovered Tues day morning by Joe Litchfield, a fisherman. Itefore making his escape from Knotts Island, he left his watch, to be given his two-year-old son when he reached manhood, and !><? cents, all he had in the world, with his aged mother. The shooting of Miss Ansell is said to have followed a quarrel be tween Waterfield and his wife, in which he accused his wife of ac cepting attentions front Charles An sell. father of the girl. The quar rel ran to a fury, with curses and blows being passed, and just at the end of this argument, Miss Ansell and her suitor William Tatem came by. Tatem started an argument with Waterfield. alleging that he had Ix-en talking about Miss Ansell, and the outcome was, Waterfield. who was then believed to have just started out gunning for Ansell, rais ed his gun. and shot the girl dead, and wounded Tateui. i'iie fears of Charles Ansell. that Waterfield would return and kill him ;:re at an end. lint he has lost a daughter and Mrs. Waterfield a husband. Whet Iter the two will try to share their losses together is now a matter of speculation among Hie neighbors.

I. <rt \JLl I e/h?<BANK CUQK *** TWC SODA JLRKE.G SMALL TOWN STUFF "Edenton must l?e u wild old, town, according to all reports." ob-j ?erved tin- Soda Jerker to the Hank Jlerk the other morning. "What's the latest from Eden 011?" queried the Bank Clerk. "Why they tell me that a certain imminent professional man in that own has lieen running around with : nother man's wife and getting away ivith it in fine shape until he got iier in a briar pateh the other tight and the poor girl got hooked in the briars, lie bad to strike) ibout a dozen matches to get her ?xtrieated and the light of the) Hatches gave both of them dead iway and everybody in Edenton s talking about it." "Well, Edenton hasu't got a thing in Elizabeth City." said the Bank Jlerk sourly. "How about that' ?ouple who ran out of gas on the Weeksville road not so long ago? Here was a prominent married j woman who sets herself up as a ;reat church worker, choir singer iml all the rest of it. She takes i mother woman's husband out for in evening and gets caught out at uidnight with a stalled engine. "She hails a passing ear and asks ! hem to send her help. Instead of j hat fool man with her keeping out ( it sight, he didn't do a thing but 'inn on the e-ir <vi>ning to town ?0 i that he could get home before his wife got the police looking for him. His fool break gave the whole tiling away and now the town is talking about that. "There is too much of that sort of thing going on in every little town. Now. I want you to understand me; I don't set myself up as a Holy Moses: I'm no Puritan and I'd be one of the last persons in the world to condemn a heart hungry man or woman, married or single, for fall ing in love unwisely; but when people, who set themselves up as shining marks of righteousness in the community, conduct themselves like a lot of prostitutes and are so bold and shameless in their conduct as to attract public athtention to their doings and set a rotten ex ample for all the younger folk in the town, then I haven't a damn bit of patience with them." "Me too!" said the Soda Jerker. "But I think I'm going to church next Sunday: I haven't been to church in a long time, but I shall drop in Sunday morning and see how well the lady sings after she has seen her picture in the paper." Because you can see well, it's no reason your headaches are not caus ed by your eyes. Dr.. Hath Ferebee Says He Will Bring Suits Against the Culpeppers and Jones City Manager Asserts That He Has Been Grossly Slandered and Thinks Suits Instituted By Him Will Bring Out The Real Facts About Grafting on City Contracts and Purchases t The charges of graft in which prominent Elizabeth City busi ness men and members of the city administration are named will be aired in the courts. City Manager Miles W. Fere bee says that he will himself take the initiative by institut ing suits for slander against W. L. Jones, president and L. B. Culpepper, secretary and treas urer of the W. L. Jones Con I struction Co., and possibly George Culpepper, dealer in i automobiles, road machinery .and almost everything else that | street paving and road contrac i tors use. At n meeting of the Board of Al dernien Monday night the City Manager called for an investigation of every purchase made by his of ; five during his administration. A citizens committee composed of C. K. Thompson. L. It. Foreman and J. 15. Flora was appointed ui?ou motion of Alderman Jerry Hughes. I But the City Manager lias no idea that this committee without judi cial powers can proceed far euough ; to suit him. "I shall not Ik? satisfied says Mr. Ferobee until the malicious business of hampering the city administra tion and grafting upon its contracts is broken up and I believe I owe it to myself and to the city to enter suits against every man against whom I have concrete evidence. "In their despicable business of loading up contracts with commis sions for themselves certain men, noibaly L. B. Culpepper and W. L. Jones, have represented to varlona I concerns doing business with the | town that they controlled mc and I certain members of the Board of I Aldermen and that in order to do business with I he town I had to be paid. To protect themselves these men have represented that I must not lie approached personally, but could be handled on]y through them and the bidders foi- city business were cautioned not to discuss witji me the ainouut that the.v said I was to gett "Their methods are obvious. Pre tending to get money with which I to bribe me, they hove sought only to get money to put in their own pockets. They have put me and I put the city in a false light with numerous contractors and supply houses doing business with the city and have damned my reputation by representing me us a common graf ter. "Tlu'.v have create! the impres sion everywhere that uo one can do business in Elizabeth City without paying graft and the city has been constantly hampered by contractors and others padding their prices to pay secret profits to local indivi duals who render the city no service at ail and whose only claim to a rake-off is their false representation that they have to split their profit^ witli me. "I have suffered under the igno miny of these false representations for months and I shall go to the courts for redress." Thus speaks the City Manager in an exclusive interview given this newspaper this week. Mr. Ferebee insists that he has documentary evl dencc upon which to proceed and says he believes that numerous con tractors who have done business with the city will substantiate his charges when put on their oaths. This then is the latest develop ment in Elizabeth City's latest municipal scandal. I'owers of Citizens Committee are Limited The public should not expect any great revelations to come from the investigation by the Aldermen's committee. Contractors and others who have paid money to members of the Board of Aldermen or to part ies claiming to influence the Board of Aldermen, are not going to in criminate themselves by talking to a committee, if they can help it. The committee hasn't the powers of a grand jury. Contractors and others who have been approached with demands for side profits by local individuals aro not willing to talk openly becauso their talking wouh| incur the host ility of every grafter in Elizabeth City and every grafter in every otLrr town in Xcrtu Carolina The Principals in Latest Scandal M.

FANATICS FAST PREmPRAYAT MANNS HARBOR Community Upset By Remark able Evangelist, Who Refus-. ed to Eat or Accent Collec tions The most remarkable religi J ous revival of the season so far ? as has been reported to this j newspaper conies from Manns I Harbor, Dare County, where the Rev. J. G. Cox of Oriental, Pamlico County, has just clos ed a three weeks meeting, in which he asked neither for1 I money, nor food, and with his companion - preacher Lewis, ! fasted without food or drink i for several davs. i . ... . .. ... Cox drifted into .Manns imiimm several days ago. and announced himself a child of God, and hy some unexplained trick got permission to hold forth in the public school building. Here he spread his blan kets. sleeping hy night, ami preach ing twice daily, threatening the wrath of God on the community, I and telling his congregations that I there was too much running around I with neighbors' wives. Along in the midst of his revival, i this Cox was joined by another self appointed man of God who called himself by the name of Lewis, and declared himself a man of wonder [ fill power, who needed no food or drink. For seven days, Lewis went without food, refusing to go to the homes of the people of the commun ity. Neither preacher asked nor re ceived any contributions, nor did they take up any collections dur fing their revival, insisting that the j Lord would provide. It wasn't long before they had ! aroused tremendous interest in this ! hospitable fishing village of 27o ! folk, and liefore long the school j building was crowded, including among the crowds, many of the most prominent people of the com munity. One night the preacher ap peared on his pulpit, and served notice that the front row of men had better move, if they were afraid of lightning, because God was ready to send a thunderbolt thru the room, and dire calamities would befall the village of Manns Harbor, because ! tbe men of the Community, he said, Iliad been running around with their neighbors' wives. "Get away from this front row," jsaid the preacher, "and let all who are in God take their places." Three women converts marched to the front. "You people backside are a bunch of thieves, robbers and whoremong ers." declared the preacher, "and I dare either man among you to come forward and lay your hands on your wives who are up here. You are nro fit to touch fbAQ!. 'Tmrl walked to the front, and led bis wife from the building. Another citizen carried the lights from the building. and left the fanatic preaching in the dark. Needless to say. the Methodist J church, which the fanatic predicted was to he destroyed by a "thiinder I holt is still standing, the preachers are zone, after their week of fast ing, hut some of the womenfolk of the community haven't got over their religion yet. fit Sunday night, one woman awoke at eleven o'clock, declaring tltyt the Holy Spirit was in her, and despite the efforts of her husband and neigh-1 hors, aroused the whole neighbor hood and couldn't lie quieted until j after half an hour of more of frenzied shouting. "If he had stay ed there a week longer. I believe he would have had the whole place in an uproar," declares one promi nent Manns Harbor citizen. "It's a good thing lie got'awa.v when lie did. or snmeliody's Lome would have been busted up." Eye strain causes wasted nerve energy. Let us look after your eyes. r>--~ i.ti-o?- Hiri?" PI*1* s.2?
