LITTLEFIEIJ) WANTED TO GO TO ATLANTA, SONS OBJECTED And So Poor Old Man Tom Pritchard Will Have To Pine in Jail 1 homas Pritchard, Sr., aged Pasquotank bootlegger con victed in the Federal Court in this city last week and sen tenced to twelve months in jail, told fudge Meekins that he didn't think he could stay in the Pasquotank County jail aj year. The old man. said to lie 70 years i old. and just a simple old man look ed quite pitiful as he appealed wist fully to Judge Meekins. "All right," said Judge Meekins, "I think I can fix you up in good shape: instead of sending you to jail for twelve months. I'll send you to Atlanta for a year and a day. Down iu Atlanta you will have a clean, comfortable bed. a warm room in winter, plenty of exercise in the open air, good company, good meals, baths, a reading room, library, chattel to go to on Sundays. I You will fare Itetter than you ever fared in your life. "And what's even letter," eon-1 tinned the Judge, "when you ht^ve served one third of your term in Atlanta you will Ite paroled on youri good iH'havior for the rest of your term. You will he hack home in four months: whereas if you go to jail you can't get hut two months i off your twelve months sentence." "Send me to Atlanta," beamed old man Pritchard. Judge Meokins ordered the Clerk to change the records and commit the old man to Atlanta. Thus. Prit chard. Sr. left the court room look ink happy. Put in a few minutes the old man returned, llat in hand he stood be fore Judge Mcekins to plead again. "I hate to trouble you Judge, hut you'll have to send me to jwil: the*' slanged hoys o' miue won't let me go to Atlanta." The Pritchard Irnys. two of them. Paul and Tom. Jr. were convicted in the same court ami had drawn I four months jail sentences. They didn't want to see the family broken up and so the old man will not eu j joy all the comforts of the Federal | prison in Atlanta : he'll have to stick jit out in the cramped quarters of a | cell in the local juil. Tims. PritehaM. 'Sr. has an in I teres! init rlvoril as* a IWtoflegger. according to 'all rejiotts. For a time he ran a small dairy and delivered milk to customers in town. It is said that he delivered more corn whiskey than milk. They saj* he (tainted his milk Itottles white and I delivered the liquor in milk bot hies piuts or quarts, leaving it on j his customers' door steiis just like j milk. Auto Filling Stations Sell Much Liquor That most of the operators I of automobile filling stations on rural highways are engaged in the illicit sale of liquor is the expressed opinion of Feder-| al Judge Isaac M. Meekins of this citv. Judge ?Meekins voiced his opinion in the U. S. Court at Washington, X. C. this week.. Judge Meekins made no lames about saying that be looked with suspicion upon any roadside filling station man who was brought into his court 011 a charge of selling liquor. lie said he was confident that most of the operators of filling stations were selling liquor on the side. He was quoted by the News & Observer as follows: "1 do not mean that all of them are doing it." be said, "but it is very 1 evident to me that most of them are. They could not possibly make a living out of the small profit they get from the sale of gasoline. When a man conies up in court, charged with violating the prohibition law. ami when I find out that lie is j operating a filling station appear ances are very, very much against | him." I GRADES OF MILK USED IN CAFES ARE POSTED Meanwhile Dairymen Continue to Bring l'p equipment to Meet Standard Milk Ordinance The lasting this week of certi ficates in Elizabeth City restau rants. hotels and drujr stores show ing the grades of milk used b.v these places is anothei step in the en forcement of Elizabeth City's stand i ard milk ordinances which is cal I dilated to be of immense value to ! the public. A customer may know ! what kind of milk he is drinking thy looking for the sign on the wall. |. rTbe grade of milk used by a pub lic place ha* much to do with their | rating by the state board of health. ?s (hose jdaces failing to use grade A milk may lose ten points from ! their rating, and any place that hasn't a grade of seventy, may be closed up by the state sanitary in spectors. Meanwhile a number of dairymen who failed to make Grade A. last week are bringing up their equip ment to meet the requirements of tin- standard milk ordinance. Two who had lower grades, E. Copper smith ami E. \V. Gregory have met the Grade A standards this week. A complete resume of the results obtained will be given next week. City inspector L. L. Iledgepeth will jappreciate any information concern ing dairymen who are not comply ing with the requirements, as this is his only means of keeping tab on i their alterations. JUDGE SAWYERj PIAYS HAVOC WITH HIMSELF His Own Faux Pas May Cause Him Loss of Solicitorship To Which He Aspires Has Judge P. G. Sawyer, judge of the County Court of Pasquqtank County, destroyed his chances for succession to the Solicitorship of the First Judicial District by a faux pas in the practice of law? Many of Jurist' Sawyer's friends | think so and those who are not his friends, tlmiout the district, are chortling. I The retirement or demise of .Indue Win. M. Bond of the Superior Court | is imminent. Walter L. Small, soli citor of the First Judicial District, lis popularly regarded as the logical successor to Judge Bond on the lieuch and the elevation of Solicitor Small to the judgeship is confident ly predicted in high isditieal circles. Judge Sawyer of Eli/.alieth City, keenly alive to the possibilities, aspires to succeed Walter Small and has been pulling wires to this end for several months. Judge Sawyer might have slipped into the solicitor ship without popular opposition if he had watched his step. But when the Judge of the Coun ty Court of Pasquotank hired him self out to notorious hootch sellers I in the T'nited States Court in this: city last week, holding a State i Court at IK o'clock in the morning [to enforce the prohibition laws, and J hiring himself out to the law of fenders in the Federal Court at 10 o'clock in the morning, public in dignation was aroused. Judge Sawyer thinks this news paper did him a grave injustice in e\|M?sing and criticising his double dealings in this newspuper last week, hut Judge Sawyer does not ! know that hundreds have expressed themselves to this newspaper with in the i?ast few days, commending this newspaper for its attitude and condemning Judge Sawyer's eon duct in no uncertain terms. Judge Sawyer will have to do a lot of shrewd work to undo the damage he has done his own cause. In his zeal for fees Judge Sawyer lias played squarely into the hands of Herbert Leary of Edenton who i< also an aspirant for the solici torship. ! 7~ . ; I Local Traders Lose Heavily In Cobb Crash i Elizabeth City dabblers in cotton futures, industrial stocks, etc. are said to have J lost $60,000 to $75,000 in the j crash of the Norfolk brokerage firm of Cobb Kros. & Co. this week. ("obit Bros. & Co. had done busi ness in Norfolk for nearly a third of a century and had a reputation for honesty and solvency that had won for them the confidence of in-j vestors in Eastern North Carolina as well as in Virginia. Elizabeth City has a lot of ltoys who play the markets and most of them carried their accounts with Cobb Bros. & Co. But somebody in the Cobb Bros, organization got to playing with the company's reputa tion and assets and before nnylsaly suspected what was going on the company was wrecked. Its filing of a lH'tition in bankruptcy in the T*. S. Court in Norfolk Monday morn ing had the effect of an explosion in many quarters. One Elizabeth City trader in stocks thru Cobb Bros, is said to have lost $.'l!t.0(M> in I 1 the crash.

"Well Mack hasn't sot any kick coming to him." said the Bank Clerk; "when a furniture dealer j advertises that he'll stand behind every lied he sells, lie's the last man I to expect to sell furniture to a I modern hotel." "When do you sti|>|iose the hotel 'J will <)|H'nV" asked the Soda Jerker. "Ask me when Jiinuiie White I hurst is going to get married?" re torted the Bank Clerk. "Well, what's going to lieeoiue of Tom Nelson and his Southern Hotel when this new hotel opens?" "Nothing at all calamitous." re plied the Bank Clerk. "It is a funny thing, but it seiuis to have boeu the history of hotel oi?erations in every town where a good hotel is built, the [old hotel does more business than ever. Tom Nelson will continue to do business at the Southern and probably will do a bigger business thu nhe is doing now. Take Suffolk, for instance. Suffolk was a wretch ed hotel town before the new Hotel Klliott was built. Traveling men fought shy of Suffolk to keep froih [stopping at the old Nanseuioud. But j as soon as the new hotel was built the traveling public began to flock j iuto Suffolk and patrouize the Nansemond Hotel. With a new I hotel to accommodate them, they went around the corner to the old '(Jump that they laid been cussing for years.'' "How do you explain that," said (lie Soda Jerker. I "I don't explain it." replied the ! Bank Clerk, "hut I have a traveling j salesman friend who makes a quite j plausible explanation, j "This drummer friend of mine '! tells me that where there is only a | hum hotel in a town most traveling j men will pass on to the next town > to s|M?nd the night. Hut if you put j a first class hotel with good stiff j prices in the same town with the hum hotel with lower prices, every ! traveling man will go to the town where he has a choice of two kinds | of hotels. A small and select class of traveling men will patronize the i new and modern hotel and pay the rates. The others will go to the old hotel, get the lower rates and then pad their expense accounts with the higher rates of the new hotel. "And so Tom Nelson and his ancient Sodthern will continue to prosper. The new hotel will draw the traveling public to town, hut most of the little birds will flock to the old roost where they can get a room for a dollar a night."

He probably smiles at the cusseriness of human nature in .\nterica. We are forever raising hob berau.se politicians are anything but forthright and honest. Governor Smith lias been honest, fearless and efficient in his admin istration of public affairs. Nobody questions his ability, his fearless ness, his honesty, his wisdom or his worth. But because he happened to be bom a Catholic and becaase he refuses to conceal the fact that he likes his liquor out of business hours, millions of folks wiio call themselves religious say they will not vote for him for president. They will vote for some sly felloiv wiio lias 110 religion at all, but who be longs to a I'rotes taut church and takes his liquor like he takes his women?under cover.. No wonder the Governor smiles. TUESDAY WEEK IS A BAD DAY FOR WILDFOWL But There Will Be Only Three Hunting Days To Shoot Them During First Week Xext Tuesday week.
