The road runs through one of the finest corn growing sections of the country and its cup ought to do much to stim- fulate the interest in the growing of this great grain. CARDS OH. t. W. GREGORY.

Mr .McCabe Will go to Norfolk to Interview Mr.Lamb in Regard to Improved Passenger Ser vice Between This City and Norfolk. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last Friday night the new schedule of the Norfolk and Southern railroad came in for considerable discussion. Mr. f. L. Garret the agent of the Norfolk and Southern m this city, met with the Chamber and entered into the discussion to devise some plan by which the matter inay f, be satisfactory adjusted. Mr. Garret stated to the Chamber that in his opinion the Norfolk and Southern officials will be slow to make changes in their present schedule be cause so far the receipts from the sale of tickets have not fallen Off enough to warrant them to undergo the additional expense of operating another train. This statement pre cipitated a discussion, which waxed rather warm, and the merchants and other business men did not fail to ex- SPENT MORE THAN BILLION DOLLARS The following Associated Press Dis patch sent out from Washington shows how the nations money is spent. The final official figures on the ap propriations made at the second ses sion of the Sixty-first Congress, just closed, analyzed from both the Re publican and Democratic standpoints, will be given by the House appropria tions committee tomorrow. Chairman Tawney, of the committee, claims the aggregate is less than a billion dol while Democratic leaders charge an excess of that limit. The statements have been delayed because of the lateness of final action on important supply measures. Mr. Tawney claims that the appro priations for the fiscal year 1911 are less than for the current year and that most of the bills are not less than the estimates submitted for thettii Republican Leader Payne con tends thht the appropriations are a substantial reduction from those of last year without taking into account CIVIC LEAGUE DEPARTMENT There is no doubt about it, we i- . . . nave one or tne nnest towns (we think it the finest, but perhaps we are prejudiced) in the state. We have beauties galore around us beautiful homes, handsome churches, as fine school buildings as are to be found in North Carolina, stately elms shading our streets and one of the loveliest irivers and fittest harbors to be found anywhere. Yes, we have blessings for which we ought to be and ere grateful and proud off. But though ail this be true, still we are not satisfied.

Mr. Garret suggested that a com mittee of one be appointed to inter creased business in the country. Mr. Payne declares that "while the appro priation and expenditures for the current year are much larger than for the last fiscal year $4000,000 has so view Mt.

This sug gestion met with favor and Mr, J. T. McCabe was appointed to represent the chamber. Mr. Garret stated that he would try to secure & date for a conference with Mr. Lamb and that he will go to Norfolk with- Mr. McCabe if the interview can be secured. Not the kindliest feeling are exist ing now between the merchants of this town and the Norfolk and South era officials on account of their fail ure to relieve the situation in trade conditions. The merchants of this town contribute largely to the support of the Norfolk and Southern railroad and Elizabeth City's patronage is a matter of consideration consequences and the merchants for the life of them can not see why they railroad authorities should turn a deaf ear to their appeals for protection 'in a situ ation which discriminates against the people of Elizabeth City to a degree that it damages the interest of the 4 .merchants and seriously injuries the town. This proposed conference between Mr. McCabe and president Lamb is the last straw apparently of relief to the local merchants. Should the schedule be amended now as it was agreed upon between the citizens and Mr. Hudgins some time ago the mer chants are serious W i 1 T Willlit - --"J v do UlUVU " of their Camden and Currituck trade has been lost to Norfolk. cede$ that many millions could be Saved if one great business man had the country's business in his charge.

And we shall never catch up, we shall never take our proper place among our sister cities until these improvements are made. Take for instance the matter of a public library Where are we at, when that subject is asked? Where is our library? Surely the author of Lucile muct have had us in mind when he wrote "Civilized man can live wjithout books.'' For we are civilized dispute 'it if you dare. And we do live without books, more's the puy. 1 ou 'win nna them in man,y homes. But, dear friends, don't give this away you will find as many more homes where books, save for the children's readers and Spellers are an unknown quantity. Some of us can't.help this state of affairs, with prices as high as Halley's Comet, it is hard enough to find the wherewithal to buy just common every day necessities of life. Books are out of the question. But the town should come to the rescue here and provide the mental food without which bodies, no matter how strong and vigorous can never, do the best work. Elizabeth City has waked up where education is concerned. We send 20 boys and girls off to college now, where we used to send one. And we give the children here at home as good an education as that supplied by any Primary Grammar or High school in the State. But after, the children have left school, what mental stimulus do we provide for them. And even while they are at school where can the puzzled teachers refer them when the tests books call for collateral read ing and supplementary accounts of tne topic under discussion in the school room? The truth of it is, we need a Labr ary. "Uneeda" Library, a public libr ary, where we can find the books of the day, and the dear old stories of our childhood days. Let's have one. t's do like other town and get Carnegie to help us build and run one. Let the merchants help us with this matter. Let's have an attractive look ing building in the central section of the town, either one or two stories high. Let's have that Rest Room for weary shoppers connected with it, kill two birds with one stone. A reading room a library a rest room, all un- oer one roof. All free to the public.
