VOL IX
Pasquotank's Candidate
For Next Solicitor
Hon. J. C. B. Ehringhaus
Well Qualified For Of
fice and is a Strong Can
didate. His Friends Con
fident That He Will
Win
Every citizen has often heard the
familiar phrase that "A public office
is a public trust" This, like many
other commonplace, expression, has
become to be a mere harmony of
words' "tin whose familiar sound is
lost the real meaning. Yet, like most
trite exppressions so often heard it
contains a truth which should be re
membered by every voter when he
comes to chose among the candidates
for a public office. In short he should
chose that candidate who will best
serve the interests of the people and
will best execute the trust imposed
upon the public Officer. This is the
first and greatest consideration, and
the others are subsidiary to it.
Many men deserve reeopiition for
service they have rendered their
party, on the principle, siawja m
Governor Vance. that
the horse f
m&l' puns fcu,jjivw '"'s arT
the loddev. Many localities deserve
recognition upon the principle of
distribution of public honors among
the various sections' of a State or
district. These are good arguments,
but sreater than these is the question
of who cau and will ,best perform the
duties for which he is elected. That
man should be chosen to fill the pub
lic office, to execute the public trust.
Such a man is the Hon. J. C. B.
Ehringhaus the candidate whom Pas
quotank County presents to the Dem
ocratic voters of the First Judicial
District for the nomination for the
Solicitorship. Going to the conven
tion, as he will, with the solid vote
of his home county, he will draw to
him the voters of the other counties
by reason of his personality, his clean
record as a public servant and" as a
private citizen, his right to expect
reward for his party loyalty and ser
vice, the right of his community to a
proper share of political honors, and
above all his special fitness , for the
office to be filled and his training
and ability to execute its trust for
the best interests of the people.
A young man of natural endow
ment much above the average, he has
received a training which fits hirnto
become a great lawyer in a growing
state, which makes him the best
qualified of the four candidates for
the office his people wish him to fill.
Graduating with honors at the Uni
versity of North Carolina he began
the study of law at that institution
and was admitted to the bar in Aug.
1903 . Within a few months he be
came a member of the legal firm
which probably has the largest prac
tice in the district. This practice car
ried him into every county Of the dis
trict, gave him a knowledge of the
People and the affairs of every com
munity, and gave him an experience
as a trial lawver nossessed by none
f the other candidates and by few
ther attorneys of his I age in the
State. He has appeared constantly,
for the past seven yearsu on the crim
inal dockets of the district, and aK
ays with great 'success. This train
ing has been invaluable . By it alone
can one learn the way
to handle im-
Portant case, such as

and an energetic worker at all he un
dertakes, his clients have found him
a competent advisor and advocate,
and his opponents in the court room
a foe against whom it is necessary
to use all the forces of their knowl
edge aattfetMji peaker to a
lurv he carries conviction. His ad
dresses to the court are characteriz
ed by a wide knowledge of the law and
a correct application of its princi
pies. A reasoner of unusual logic, he
makes clear the point he attempts to
impress .
If a public office be a public trust,
does not the district need such a
Solicitor? Does it not need a man who
has the ability and who is fully trained
for the work of enforcing the law?
Without disparagement of any of
the other candidates it is safe to say
that Mr. Ehringhaus is the one best
qualified for the duties to be perform-
ei.
While Mr. Ehringhaus deserves re
ward for the services he has rendered
the Democratic party in his district;
whjile his community deserves the
recognition justly dde it, the present
purpose is, not to enlarge upon these
things, but to show that the people
need the man .

POLITICS IN CURRITUCK
I am perfectly willing to be
barked at by the favorite trailer
of any bunch, of political hunts
men in Currituck County as
soon as I publicly announce my
self and take the field as a can
didate for office. In the mean
time I would suggest that there
is a law against cruelty to ani
mals in this State, and, any
master who allows the favorite
trailer of his political pack to
run continuously on one trail for
two weeks without being chained
for rest certainly comes with
in the pale of this law . MASTER
you better call him in andrub
his nose with dirt, give him a
rest and tell him to take a fesh
start, its just possible he has
been on a cold trail. Besides,
you will want him to be fresh
when the real varment does
break from cover.

WILL NOT PUBLISH IT ANY MORE
The Tar Heel publishes the above cards side by side. They are ad
vertisements, and tne Tar Heel is in no way responsible for them
These cards are "Greek" to us 'and we are of the opinion that the
majority of our readers do not understand them.
We take this occasion Co say that we will not publish these cards
again, or any other literature of like nature from Currituck of any
other county for love or money. This is sufficient aiotice of our inten
tion to discontinue publication of this class of literature.
We don't know anything about politics in Currituck but we are ready
at any time to open our columns tto contributors for a genteel discus
sion of the situation.
With best wishes and the kindest feeling to the gentlemen whose
names are signed to these cards and their friends, we positively de
cline to publish any more literature of this kind, even if we lose
every subscriber that we have in Currituck Counts

HE GAVE LIFE
TO SAVE OTHERS
Washington, June Charles Diver, a
street car motorman, died today leav
ing a wife and two-week's old baby.
Death was due to the shock and the
burns of seven thousand volts of
electricity whiclr charged through his
body last night when he heroically
dragged a live wire away from the
passengers who were threatened.
Two neonle and probably more
were saved from death by his act
when he burst s into flames as the
j powerful fluid surged to the ground.
He lived through the night in agony.
His wife rose from her bed to be witn
him at the end
NO. 40
Is
Reason Why
That Elizabeth Giy
Has No Up-to-date News
Paper
Why is there not a good newspa
per in Elizabeth City.
This question is often propounded
to us. It is flaunted in our face. The
popular impression seems to be that
we are soley responsible for the fail
ure of Elizabeth City to have a de
cent newspaper. We will take oc
asion to say that in our five years
in Elizabeth City we have done our
best. That is what we are doing now
and shall continue to do, as long as
we look after the affairs of the old
Tar Heel. But we want to say that
we have not; got the job nailed down
clinched with a big spike nail. We
want to say, with as little appearance
of ill-feeling as possible that any
fool, who thinks he can do the job
better- than we are doing it, can have
the Job for the asking. It will just
take the writer, of these paragraphs'
30 seconds to step down and give him
place. , . -We
are not responsible - tpr the
kpoor newspaper service. We have
done the best that we could, and we
might add , that we have done better
than the other fellow for we have
did not.
Why can't we have a decent news
paper!
Well, the wonder is that we have
got any at all. And, if it was not
for our foreign advertising and two
or three progressive merchants, who
recognize the value of our advertis
ing space and use it freely, the Tar
Heel would not be here..
Here is one of our experience in
dealing with the average merchant
of our town. Once upon a time a
change of schedule in the railroad
vas hurting, his-business . He was
howling to beat the devil. He was
howling in season and out of sea
son. He accosted the Tar Heel about
like this: "Say, are you going to say
anything about the way the Norfolk
and Southern Railroad is treating us?
Its time for you to say something.
That same individual hit upon an
advertising scheme expecting to con
vince us that the advertisement ought
to be printed free. We could not see
the point. He then changed his tac
tics. He tried to beat down our rates
by declaring that the Tar Heel had
no circulation. We foiled him there
by handing him our mailing list that
he might see for himself. Then he
offered us $7 . 50 per page and inform
ed us that he could get out a dogger
for five dollars. He was at liberty to
get out the circular and precious lit
tle good they will do him for nobody
reads circulars now . It is a cheap John
way of advertising and the people
recognize it.
As a last resort-he informed us that
he would get the other fellow to do
the advertising, which he was at lib
erty to do, and may do so for all
the Tar Heel cares.
Anyway he left our sanctum in
high dudgeons because he could not.
bully us into giving away advertis
ing space and we wondered why Eliz
abeth City does not have a decent
newspaper.
P. S.We forgot to mention that
this same merchant has advertised
only one measly 30 inch ad in a year.
