Boyd, the candidates tor Member of Corpui ation Commission, have neither any special following in this section. Many will projauly Vote for Lee be cause his name comes first on the ticket. . - There is no reason why W, A. Graham khould le defeated for .Com missiouer of Agriculture, so far as we know. He has two opponents, S. H. Hobbs and A. J. Mclviunon, and a second primary may be re- quired to settle the contest. C. T. McClenegau is running a gainst James R. Young for Insur ance Commissioner but there is no general dissatisfaction with Young and he will probably hold his omce. When It comes to local office soek ers, the race for the state Benate at tracts fir.it attention. 'It Is general ly conceded that Cohoon will not carry his home county, though in other counties the contest between Cohoon and Johnson will bo warm and probably close. Some think that iu(he lntoreHt in the race' between these two Mr. McNbler may be lost Biht of and defeated. Terry, candidate for the lcplHla lyre, entered the race too late this cia r.o.v ii'.-.u S:-;tt. We do nut t.'.ieve, tl:ber, that Ste.t.n ScO'.t can tat CtArlrs RelJ in the race for saeri?. ReiJ has ios; fik-nus, tut he has probably gained as many and the vote that he hi always received will etct any candidate in this county. It soems to be the consensus of oiinion that Charles Carmine will deffct James P. Thompson this year in tn? race for auditor. Car mine is especially s rong in the coun try. The race fox - trial justice pre sents the most dubious situation In the local ixdical field. Ernest Sawyer is strong but he is not strong enough, in our opinion, to defeat both of his opponents. We think it safe to predict a second primary. If inthe first race Sawyer can show a good lead over both Lamb and jSpe.u-e, he will stand a good chance t winning rn.minatisn. If either o( thtm run him a close second, u united of position will pro1 aoly en compass Sawyer's defeat. The foregoing is the situation as we sie it. Of course you can never nil what turn politics will take over night, and we are prepared 4o see tome of our forecasts fail. We do not think that any candi date in the field would make an of ficer to be ashamed of and w'e pledge the nominee of the ' party our sup port , .... ... I The Advance believes that there U no more upright man and ho bet ter el tz n asking the support of .he voters of Pasquotank this year than George J. gpnce. Old school mate and friend, we have found it hard not to. op:nly champion his cause in these columns and have Leon de erred from that course only by the fact thai one of his opi oneuts is a man whose unrequited service to the par.y entitled him to every consid eration while the other's record in office has been above reproach. It seems to The Advance that there has been less bitterness In the campaign preceeding this year a primary than has been the case since we have been here. We have n't heard half so much about gang sters and ringsters as we used to, and almost every candidate has seemed disposed to urge his candi dacy on his own merit and fitness for the oftica sought rather than on the demerits of his opponent. Good! This looks like the ' new day we have- been talking about sure enoungh. There's a reason. Watch Elizabeth City grow. New brick buildings going up all the time and being completed in a jiffy, too. The Advance expects to keep pace with the march of progress. Watch us grow, too. Do the folks read The Advance? It rather looks m if they watch the editorial column anyway.. A three line editorial . announcement last week aroused interest and comment all over the city. The editor could scarcely get about for a day or two on account of the many questions sked him about the Dally Advance. The country people showed interest too. JThey were asking about it at Dare Court this week. The Advance rcored a scoop yes terday on the liigest local news Btory that has broken in Elizabeth City this year. If it's local news we got for you. D. W. Morgan of( Mount Hermon Cooke. Mildred Ilieno Commander, Peas .this spring end 1:1s shipments have already netted him between three and four hundred dollars.

The advent of this Institu tion came with the era of commercial and Industrial expansion. It m' when th imputation of the Cnitetl States was ouly O.A'aw. ud tber were but 24'5 banks In the country. Bj IS20 ten of these savings banks bat! been establlsbej with JUCo depositor and aitesate deposits of $1.I3S.57H Prosperity came, the people saved and the eh'iKwits in these great reser voirs of capital, which now numbrt 2.100. by leais and bounds increased t enormous proportions. To-day, witr Dtir national wealth aiprosIuiatinf $lS7.000.Xt.(io ainl uhuust one bun 3reJ millions of people in the country we hare alwut $4.70,000.M In the savings hanks beleuv'Uig to ten and I half milliou iIe;xisitors. - This may seem an uu:azin sum of capital uuJ uumber of depositors, but when a coin parison is made with ptlier countries and ulal.uite U struck it is fuund thi United States Is nea? the end of t!i. list In the percentage of savers to pip uhttlou. The lHissibilities for the greater pro motion of habits of thrift and savin? among eople are indeed extraor dlnary. With remarkable opportuni ties In the United States for increas ing foreign trade; with bumper crops In every section of the country; with gold pouring Into the coffers -of the banks; with every appearance of un precedented future prosperity, the fact Li apt to le disregarded that the other great commercial natioiu of the world are Involved in a war of frightful de Btroetion and economic waste; that aft er the war these nations will need funds for reconstruction and the Unit ed States will be called upon to sup ply them; that for some time to coiut this country will not be able to secure capital, ns in the past, fi'om France and Great Britain, for the purpose ol carryuiii. on . new . ...eifterprises. The United States must finance itself. No fear need be bad for the imme dlate fulure. but It is Inevitable that the time is coming when this country must meet the test of financiiiir prac tie-ally the imtlre world. Preparation? are being made for defense in the event of war; preparations should alsi be made for peace. Adequate credit machinery can be developed and per fected, but it will assuredly require a sufficient amount of capita), to main tain properly aud keep in good runmnt: condition this credit machinery. How is this capital going .to be se cured? Through education; by calling the attention of the people to the lad of thrift in the country, aud the bene ficial results of practicing thrift: through a systematic nation-wide cam palgu to. promote thrift and saving. It surely is to the .interest of all citizens whether banker or business man. edl tor or professional man, employer oi employe, to be a party to such a move ment. This Is f lie" "oTiJect br the BUtlon-wlde campaign- instituted the first of the year 1 the American Bankers' Asso elation. DONT BE EXTRAVAGANT. "Live Within Your Income, Keynoti of Nationwide Thrift Movement. "Live within your Income" Is the keynote of the great nation wide thrift movement, and be not so wasteful. The streugth of Home lay not in the time when Bomans were extravagant ly spending their millions in feasts and games; when people were flocking from the country to the city; when Romans Were too lazy even to play their own games, but hired gladiators not only to play, but to die, for their amusement: It lay not In the time when the young Roman millionaires spent their time at the baths and in feeding on nightin gales' tongues and ou oysters brought in wet inoss from the shores of Brit ain; when $175,000 was paid for roses at a feast, and when her citizen sol diery was replaced by hirelings, but In the time when the Roman farm er was Its citizen aud statesman and depended not upon the hired others, but upon himself, forperformlng the duties of the family and the state. The entice, world nt the liegmnlng of the present war started to save money. It Is a curious fact that such a destruc tive process as war sometimes Is a benefit to a nation. It Increases the to tal efficiency, and It Increases I he total saving. Let America be not too free to cast criticisms upon our foreign wnrrln ulster nations. It may be that the iucrensed thrift and the Increased efficiency and the Iucrensed strength of character brought ubout by thU great crisis, so affecting the nations of Europe, will do for them as they did for ns in our civil war prodm e clnu- actfrlstlcs and produce men and Wom en that in the years following the war may offset the cnoruimis waste 11110 destruction brought about by it. No amount of wealth will replace character. Wealth will never take the place of personal righteousness, but tho characteristics of thrift and econ omy will dei more than anything else to bring bB''k the type or American that made New Bngland, and that makes any nation, strong and great And by what we Rave only can we measure our future wealth, w hether as Individuals or as a nation. i-'-i. iiy-'-ii a. n.-.-.cr &t East Church S:tt has furctstej rcox.s fcr rent cn reasonab e terras Arp'y in persca cr ty letter tf PREPARE FOR a First secure your Season Ti.kets.
