CITY'S SEMI-WEEKLY PAPER IAS DICE VOL IV ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1915 NO 90 m. t V l 1-3 ft EAT SHELLFISH HEXF FRIDAY Day 3o be Celebrated Through Nation, Show ing Value of Aquacul lure - The National Association of Fish . aries Commissioners, through its president, M. L. Alexander ol ;.-Louisiana, has declared that Friday, '. November lath, should be eelebra fted from Maine to California and from Washington to Florida as -Shelfiah Day" and ask that on ;evry table in the land either lob sters, oysters, clams crabs or 'hrimp be the -iain dish. While the Coastal states ot the v Union are more for'unate in having the different species of sea iood right at hand, neve-theless, modern ' methods of preserving and pack ing shell fish enable the people of the interior of the country to joifi in 'Shelfish Day' movement by par taking of their tavorite shellfish on this day as well as those living in the Seaboard states. The growing scarcity and advanc ing prices of animal tcood has call ed particular attention to the var ious sea foods of the country, both fin and shell, as never before and, together with the question of con servation and development of our natural resources, the problem of increasing the output of the coastal waters by advanced methods of Aquaculture has ceen studied not alone by the Government experts tut by the different state commlfe aionei whose members compose the National Association of Fisher ies Commissoners. vVlth the high cost of living, the scarcity of beef cattle and the in creasing population to be combated It Is suggested thpt many or our natural resources are capable of a development which will supply a cheap yet wholesome ;tood. A mong these resources the fish and hell fish industries have yet to reach their maximum production as there is not a state on the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard or Gulf coast whose resources have been extend ed to the limit nor Is it even pos sible to rattirnte what tbov are producing in r-h-11 HsM. or the 471 - :.-n; i't' wrter t-oto-MH in 3.,on'ri;-na P '"-co ture bi-t IM - ' lo ol 0 :;U r oul ros ;;ro h".ng cultivated.

This is a Question of no Small Interest and Some Conjecture Here Much Interest was created la Hli- zabeth City by tne announcement. which appeared under a Klnston date line in the daily papers ol last Wednesday, that Judge Harry Whedbee of Greenville is being spoken of as a probable candidate for Congress from this district to oppose Hon. John H. Small, who will no doubt offer himself tor re election next year. i That Judge Whedbee is being much spoken oi in this connection through the district was no surprise in political circles in Elizabeth City, for his 'name has been heard here more than once as a possible opponent of Congressman Small In the next election. But the fa:t that the 'talk' had got into print led many to thing that perhaps the way was being prepared for a defi nite announcement as to his atti tude from Judge Whedbeo himself. As yet. however, no such announce ment has been forthcoming. There is no judge on the bench more popular in this section than Harry W. Whedoee, who is well liked both by the bar and by the people. If he enters the race the contest for the Democratic congress ional nomination in this district will be far from uninteresting. DO YOU REMEMBER '7'? It is the symbol of a very im portant event.

The game, the first of the aeaaora in Elizabeth City,, was staged Ofk the Y. M. C. A. building floor, and as the score Indicates was one sided affair from start to finilk. However, in the second half UliM heth City held the visitors down to six points by no means a bad de fensive and if the EllzaDeth CltJT forwards had been able to make most of their opportunities at the goal from the field and from the foul line each side would hart scored about the same number of runs in this half. The Elizabeth City aggregatloa were swept off their feet In the be ginning by the superTor helglt and weight of their opponents as well is by the confidence of the visitor!" ittack. Miss Virginia Bain tof Portsmouth was easily the central figure of the game durln this halt and at the end or It the score WSJ 19 to 1 In Portsmouth's favor. ; The effective guard work of M1M Dannie Owens for Elizabeth City was the largest single factOf that contributed to the fact thai the visitors won only two field goals In the second half, though he whole team was more agresslfe than in the beginning. Home thin should be allowed also for the fact that the vislors by thiJ time were sure of overwhelming victory and played with less snaf than In the beginning. Of the twenty five points made by the Ylt ltors, Miss liain made twenty two; shooting ten field goals and throw Ing two fouls.
