From Jan. 1918 until this wvlt Quinn's store paid Mr. Over man nO per cent of his old salary. In 1920 the firm of R. E.

Tills newspaper picked up tills in f rotation quite by accident this week It is something for folks to think alx>ut. Chain stores arc highly rfTirient; they oiler us attractive merchandise, attractively priced: their stores are cleaner and more modern than the stores of some of ;h* home town merchants. But this newspaper has n~ver heard cf them taking rare of their Sam Overmans. The buss of the chain store cften doesn't even know his employes: thry are cogs in a machine, quickly and easily replaced with new cogs when one shows a little wear or sets wobbly. His eye-sigh: gone, his health de stroyed. no money saved up. no ho;5es for recovery and better times. Sam Ocvcrman might have killed himself too.

And this despite the loss of many nets in the March 6 storm. One man's guess 1 > as good as anoUier's when it comes to advanc ing the reason for the unusually "tree catches of fish being made by ?lie Wunchcsc. Manns Harbor and Stumpy Point fishermen. The popu lar theory among the fishcrfolk is that tlie re-opening of the New In let bv the recent storm has afforded 11 inssaseway whereby many thou of shad and other fish have filtered the Sounds. Some of the pii.us believe that God filled the waters with fish to compensate the fishermen for the losses they ?ustained during the storm. There are other theories concerning the 'fatiur.

NOT A SNORT FOUND Th ? town vlesek struck ten. It w.i> Saturday niirlit. A platoon of unifrrim-tl police armed with re veler: uiglit -ticks and flash lights marchttl out cf police head quuilr;-. - wun ; to the right, ?much .1 in platoon formation d.wn t'uh nial Ave. to I'oindcxter Street. In platoon formation they march ; cd diagonally across Poindexicr St. i to th.- entrance to the Cotton Club. It was a Iuotircly march: leisurely th"1 poli.e filed up the stairs. rought and were granted admittance to the club rooms. They flashed their lights around the tab! - in the dim-lighted dance re nt, poked around the kitchen and ck .k room, took a sniff at the toilet. The orchestra played loudly: danc ing couples didn't stop their danc ing: new corners arrived and took thcii scat at tables. Nobody dis , played any uneasiness; most cf the ? habitues cf the place acted as if ' nothing unusual was going on. 1 The Cotton Club was raided Sat i urady night: some one had com I planted to the |>clicc that liquor is being sold and drunk at the Cotton Club. And so the |x>lice staged a j raid. They found no liquor, made no arrests. Crowds gathered on the sidewalk i downstairs, snickered v.hrn the police marched dawn empty handed. But there would have been no snick ering had the police hauled a lot cf society folk around to headquart ers. It's tough being a policeman in a small town: he's jeered at if he doesn't and catches hell if he dots. STANDING BEHIND THE MATTKESSES HE SELLS Tii ?y arc having a lot of fun with ! good-natured Sam Twiford. owner : of the Quina Furniture Co.. this j week. Someone took advantage of a i gorgeous window display of Dr. Ezcra Storm mattresses to re vive the old gau about the deal er standing behind every mattress I he si lis. And Sam solemnly explained that j both Quinn's and the manufactur ; er stand behind Dr. Storm's mat | tresses and springs. It is indeed a ?broad guarantee that Quinn's gives with Dr. Ezcra Storm products, un conditionally guaranteeing every matieras and box spring with no time limit or other strings tied to the guarantee. It is a beautiful showing Quinn's is making and hundreds of people are viewing the exhibit which will continue all this week and until Monday night. April 18. ! An Early Spring: , Bride AMONG Dan Cupid's ma t recent victims locally is Mrs. Arthur Mc I'herson, who, before her marriage Monday afternoon, was Miss Eliz abeth Driglit. daughter of Mr. and I Mrs. Noah Dright, of North Koad' |Street. The young newly-weds are' honeymooning m Florida. Outlook is For Fancy Prices For Early May Peas Altho Pasquotank farmers this year will pick and market prob ' ably only fifty per cent as many ! May peas as they shipped last ' year, it is likely that they will rc , ccive quite a bit more than fifty j per ernt as much money for their j 1032 peas as they were paid for I their 1031 ernp. Anyhow, Pasquo i tank farmers are hopeful that ? ueh will be the ease, i Only about seventy-five per cent : many peas as were planted in this county last year were planted this year. Then came the March storms, I tornadoes and late cold snaps. Early 'peas were cither blown down and tern up by the winds or were killed in the ground by the cold. All over the South the damage to the May peas was great, while it is reported that seventy-five per cent of the South Carolina crop was damaged by the storms and cold. In this ! county, the loss was severe. Many peas were killed just as they were pushing up out of the ground. The growth of practically all the peas in the county was retarded. Many growers, discouraged at the very poor t stands, have plowed their peas into the ground. Despite there losses, it is believed this year's May pea crop in Pasquotank will be fully as much as fifty per cent of the 1931 crop. This might be taken to mean that the growers will receive only half as much menev from peas this \\ar as last, but? The fact that seventy-five per cent of the peas in one of the great est producing states in the South have been destroyed and substantial losses have been incurred thruout the South makes it quite possible and probable that the price of May peas this year will be substantially higher than the 1931 price. Over i production usually results in a low ! price. Under-production may result in a higher price. So. with produc tion thruout the South so low. there! , are excellent prospects for good prices on May peas this year. Around three hundred and twen- , ? ty-five cars of peas were shipped ? from here last season. This wns; around 200.000 baskets, and the' average price was around one dollar 1 per bushel basket. The farmers of' the county received around $200.000., ' or more, from their 1931 May pea I crcp. Reductions in planting and losses from storms and cold in all | probability will cause this year's. May pea crop in Pasquotank to total, | but little more than 100.00 bushels ( But the average price should be; from S1.25 to S1.50. as against last year's average price of SI per bushel, j Thus. Pasquotank farmers may re- j ceive seventy-five per cent as mucht money for this year's crop as they: received for las: year's crop, despite, cr because'of a fifty per cent reduc- j Hon in the crop. The May pea crop last year was, about the only moncv-making cropj produced in the section, and it was] a genuine boon to Pasquotank farmers. It is hoped and expected that it will again bring a sizeable j amount of cash to the farmers this ( year. At least, it will give employ ment for a few weeks to several hun- j dred persons, for it takes quite an : army of people to pick, crate, haul j and ice 100.000 or more bushels of peas. The picking of the May pea crop is scheduled to begin from May 5 to 10. and the peak shipment will be reached between the 10th and the 20th of the month. What Savings Hank ? Liquidator Did On His Last Bank Job W. O. Crump, cashier of the Bank | tf Sunbury and at present engaged; in the liquidation of the Saving?, i Bank & Trust Company, is one of the few liquidators in the State to do a perfect job. One hundred per J cent liquidation of the Citizens Bank cf Gates, liquidated by Mr. Crump, was announced Tuesday by \ C. I. Taylor, liquidation agent of the State Banking Commission. The Bank of Gates closed its doors | on January 13. 1930, with total re sources listed at $83,412.18 and de ixjsits at S63.957. Capital and sur- ! plus were $12,793.76. Stockholders; paid in $7,761 in assessments. Liquidation of the bank paid pre-' ferred and secured claims of $16,000, and deixxsits of $63,957. In addition to paying depositors, the complete accounts due them, about $14,000 was lctf to be distributed among the stockholders. The total cost of1 this liquidation was $2,760.75 and | collection's in rents and interest dur-. ing the time of liquidation amounted to $2,040, almost enough to bear the lotal expenses.

They are emblazoned not with the name of Blucher Ehring haus. but with JOHN C. B. EHRINGHAUS. Folks in other ] parts of the state have exhibited so much difficulty in pronouncing the , Teutonic Blucher that Mr. Ehring- , haus is perfectly willing to run as , John if that will get him more votes. ?John Thomas Alderman, educator. ?' churchman, historian and promin ent Mason, died at his home in < Henderson at the age of 78. He had been in failing health for several months and death was not < unexpected. j< Crump Takes The Sumner Laurels As A Commuter Docs Elizabeth City have its commuters? The writer answered this question in the affirmative in an article appearing last week, and then proceeded to name the com muters and the distances they commute and was mistaken in the statement that the farthest commuter is T. B. Sumner, man ager of the Eastern Cotton Oil Co. and the Albemarle Fertilizer Co. The "commutingest" commuter hereabouts is, unless we are again mistaken, W. O. Crump. Mr. Crump whose home is in Sunbury, Gates county, is in charge of the liquida tion of the defunct Savings Bank & Trust Co., and he journeys here each day. returning to Sunbury in the late afternoon. Mr. Crump com mutes more than fifty miles daily. Sunbury being twenty-six or twenty seven miles distant from Elizabeth City. A/T.- nochinr nf fht, Bank of Sunbury when he was ten dered the position he now holds, which is only a temporary position. Preferring not to relinquish a per manent job for a temporary one, he turned the Sunbury job over to Mrs. Crump. Consequently, Mr. Crump did not move to Elizabeth City but chose instead to be come a commuter. Mrs. Crump by the way, is one of the few women bank cashiers in the country and is raid to be making a wonderful suc cess of her job. Bank examiners have nothing but praise for her methods and the manner in which her accounts are kept, and the state ments she makes are very nearly perfect. Another well-known commuter is J. R. Jarvis, district manager of the Continental Life Insurance Co. who commutes daily between his home in Hertford and his office here. John Marshall, Daily Advance ad man, commutes from his home near Belcross to his work here each day. Quite often. John drives to work in the morning, returns to his home at night to eat and dress, comes back to town to see a show, fill a date or go to the "Y", and then returns again to his home. There are quite a few persons, too numerous to mention, who live two or three or five miles out in the county and who work in town. Another commuter overlooked in last week's article is VV. I. HaLstead, South Mills barrister, who has an office here and who makes several trips each week from South Mills to this rcity. ?Mrs. Mary Rigler. who suffered a spinal injury when she was caught in the door of an elevator in the In dependence Trust Company building m Charlotte, was carried into court on a- portable bed this week to give ?vidence in her 525,000 damage suit against the bank.

"A banker should be asking me i that question!" sneered the Soda' Jcrkcr; "But if you are asking me, I'll tell you: we can end it to-day I by resolving to live like our ancestors lived; walk more, ride less; make our best suit of clothes last four or five years by wearing it only on Sun- . days and holidays; eating more plain' and home grown food and living less cut of tin cans and pop bottles; roll ing our own instead of buying pack aged cigarettes with a six cent, revenue stamp on every pack; learn ing to make our own amusements j instead of paying 10'1 or more of our income for somebody else to amuse us. Eighty per cent of us ? arc still working and making salar ics or wages. All we've get to do is to live within our incomes and save i a little every week." "Yes," said the Bank Clerk, "and1 you'd have this depression strung 1 out into the year 2032. Instead of' 1 having eight million people out of i jobs and half our farmers threat- 1 ened with foreclosure for debts and ' taxes, you'd have half the working < folks in the country on the bricks 1 and every farmer busted. One thing that ails this country now is ?' too many folks are scrimping and saving, keeping commodity prices i I down and all business stagnated, i I We'll never have a return to pros-, < pcrity until folks begin spending i' again." | "But how are people going to spend when they either have 110th- 1 ins to spend or have had their 11 wages tut'.'" asked the Coda Jerker. 1 "Think of the families of working 1 1 people in this town; often four or five children in the family to be clothed and fed and sent to school, and the old man making barely J enough wages to pay for rent, fuel, j light and medicine and keep up his industrial insurance." "One answer to that," said the, Bank Clerk, "is that wage earning people should not have so many J children." "Yeah! I'll tell you something! about that." said the Soda Jerker.

Edenton Plans i |A Real Show: For April 28th I Edenton, modern capital of Cho | wan, ancient capital of North I Carolina, is now a-bustle and j teeming with activity in the per- ; fecticn of elaborate plans for a ? colossal and impressive celebration on April 28 upon the occasion of ! I the unveiling of a monument to i I Joseph IIcwcs, signer of the Decla- j ration of Independence and mari- I time adviser to George Washing- t ton and the first signer of Amer- , lea's most sacred document to be i thus honored by Congress. Edenton, ever proud of its histori-. cal background, looks forward to , the unveiling of the Hewes monu ment with the greatest pride and enthusiasm. Nothing gains such strong support and wholehearted cooperation from Edentonians as a project designed to perpetuate the history of which Edenton is so, proud and so jealous. And all ofj Edenton is working together to make ; this celebration one of the biggest events of the George Washington | fci-Centennial. Several thousands of persons are, expected to be on hand when the j Hewes Memorial is unveiled on Thursday. April 28. Elizabeth City, j Hertford and Manteo and the entire Albemarle section have been especi- j ally invited to attend and to parti- j cipate in the celebration. In addi-1 tion, several hundred invididual in- ! citations have been sent by mail. I National and State notables will be j there, as also will be distinguished; , visitors from many cities in this! ; and other states. ! The monument has been complet- I cd. as also have the concrete walks and steps leading to the monument, j which is situated on the Edenton ? Commons, facing Edenton bay. The full program, including a his- j ; torical pageant, a luncheon recep- j tion. the unveiling exercises, a street J dance, an old time fiddlers' con- j vention a,nd other entertainment1 features, is to be announced short- ] ly. The celebration will be featured 1 and much-publicized in the next is sue of The Independent, which will j carry articles of unusual interest' written by prominent persons and a 1 number of photographs and ilustra tions. Some of these articles and' illustrations will appear in no other | newspaper. ???? ?????? | Was Willing To Let Son Morris Sleep In Jan Due to the courtesy of the Nor- I folk police and Elizabeth City's Police Chief Holmes, four young; men of this city were relieved of . the necessity of spending; Sunday ; night in the Norfolk hoosegow, 1 altho, if S.

Taken to jiolice headquarters, they were asked if they knew anyone in Norfolk who could vouch for their 1 character and their appearance in court Monday morning. Baker, the j driver of the car, knew a Norfolk theater man and called him on the telephone. This man went to head quarters and vouched for Baker, j who was released without bond.

There is some speculation as to whether the school board was "pass, mg the buck" when it bestowed up one Mr. Hartsell the dubious privi lege of passing upon the applica tions of teachers. In years past, it has been the superintendent's duty to approve or reject applications, turning the approved applications over to the School Board to be pass ed upon or rejected. Thus, altho the Board had the linal say as to the personell, the Superintendent's authority was actually greater than that of the Board. But now Super intendent Hartsell has the stole power of accepting or rejecting an application to teach in the city schools, the Board having given 111111 that power Monday night. It is generally talked around town I School Board recently di | rected Supt. Harsell to advise those , teachers who are married, and whose husbands are fully capable of car | ing for them, not to file application I to teach again next year. Supt. | Hartsell is said to have written let i ters to several teachers advising them against filing application with out stating the reason for such advisement. This caused no little misunderstanding and some con sternation. The Board, having previously approved the applica tions of practically all the single teachers in the city schools, was holding up the election of the marl l ied teachers pending the outcome of the adtice that had been passed on to some of these teachers. Whether the teachers so advised meekly accepted the advice or re belled against it is unknown, but the Board, instead of completing the lwt of teachers Monday night as they had been expected to do, turn ed over to Superintendent Hartsell the sole authority to elect teachers for the coming year. This action caused some speculation as to whether the Board was "passing the buck" to Mr. Hartsell, fearing the furore that might arise when the complete list should be made public. Altho it is unusual for a Board to invest in the superintendent the sole power of employing or rejecting applicants for teachers' positions, it is not strange that the local board gave this power to Mr. Hartsell. After all, a superintendent is in closer contact with the teachers than are members of the Board and is better qualified to say whether or not a teacher is competent and desirable. The su|>erintendent is the logical man to decide which teachers shall be employed. Mr. Hartsell. a hard worker, closely ob serves the work of the teachers un dei him and is in a position to know each teacher's qualifications for his or her job. '"T,u ??? A 111? IICTCU^ Ul I.11C anu nwv the whims of the public are what should be considered in the selec tion of teachers." says Mr. Hartsell. "Teaching ability is a prime con sideration, and we cannot let per sonalities interfere. It is impos sible to suit everyone and we desire only to look out for the interests of the pupils. It is not just a matter of giving a job to this person or taking a job from that person, it is chiefly a matter of providing the best type of instructors for the chil dren." Superintendent Hartsell says that the list of teachers for the coming year is. in his own mind, virtually complete, but it will not be possible to make the full list public for several weeks yet. He says there will be ni/ great change either in personell or policy in the city schools during the coming year.
