Mysterious parties have been operating around here for sev eral months, but little could be effrtied !abfu what Vhey were doing. It leaked out last week that these parties were hunting for money. Qne of the purchas ers of these machines discover ed that his machine was a fake and he went to law about it in a hurry to get his money. He did not get his money back but he got the inventor and promot er of the machine in jail in G hurry. Two white men named Joh$ Hiltck and Danjiel Wbei?. alias D. Johnson formerly of Richmond were defendantsf fa the case and they were easily convicted of practicing fraud. The prosecuting witnesses' sto ry revealed their plans of oper ation which was to select a pos" iSble buyer and approach him with the machine and offer to test it.

All of these expeditions to hunt for money generally prov ed failures unless thev were op erated bv the inventors. Judge Sawyer had the mach ines brought into court and ex amined. Thiey were ingeniously contrived, likely to fool the ig Bofrant and supeoytons. They Ifare snll boxes covered in blue flannel and had a number of electric bills, wires and such things, around the box, but when the box was jdlpenefd,, it was found to be filled wifh pieces of bricks. Thfts gave the trick away and stowed that it was a fraud and that the inventors knew it was a fraud. Both He trick and Webster were sent to jail in default of bail in the sum of $250. Now their dupes are getting a great deal of satlisf action mt if in carceration in the jail. One colored man who was fleeced out of a hundred dollars stated that he had prayed to the Lord to help him to get even with the rascals and that the Lord had answered his prayers. Look! Look!! Look!!! That is what the Civic League most earnestly desires you to do. We know it is not the lack of DESIRE of our people to have more attractive surroundings, but the lack of REALIZATION as to how much can be accom plished with very little labor, rime or expense, In improving our INDIVIDUAL surroundings Beautifying a town like char ity should begin at home. So let's begin. Then , when we show, by , indi vidual effort, that we really wish to have a town beautiful, we shall have the right to appeal to our Town Authorities for' aid i condemning ALL uhoiglftly spots Elizabeth City is not without these.
