"In fact I have come to like it bet ter than any paper giving the news Qi this section." - - ' This i8 but one of many express Jons of apprecatlon from the rural district to Elizabeth City that 'reach us every week. W. D. Sharber of Newland, In handing In bla subscription the other day, Mid, "When that is out let me know, I wan't to renew it." With a strong rura' circulation find with its city circulation gorw vlng rapidly, The Advance is forg ing to the front If you want to know what Is going on in Eliza beth City, keep your eye on The Advance. And If you want to see tbfe town go forward we honestly believe; that you could work to that end no more wisely than by giving the home paper your support. H encourages us for you to tell us we are getting out the best paper In town, but It mlnht help us more If vnn would rsv the same thine to your neighbor. M - ts 19 SGvelopment is largely "measured by the, strength and jrowth of it8 newspapers. The establishing of The Advance ai a dally paper moans a great cioai to the town. And your support means a great deal to The Ad vance. Bernard Shaw was right about it It's the women who must take the initiative, asd then the men are on the spot and cannot get away. Just look at the Albemarle Can ning Club Girls. They have lit erarally got the men at their feet or what is better have got them chopping wood or building fires. Ytvt they had been tofd that "it couldn't be done." Perhaps it couldn't, by those who told them so. The Advance had decided upon August 5th, as its second 'Dollar Day' and the date had hern men tioned to onr or two advertisers. Hut our platiH were Interfered with nnd we derided it would be better to wait until potito 1iK'.',lng anions our Currituck friends was over, anyway. The (lite s-t. Septem ber 2nd. coniini; nt 'he time of final cleaning up preparations for fall trade, has met tho approval of prominent business men and wide awtike advertisers who have been their successfully ab'rt customers wants 'n meeting WE MAKE IT AGAIN. Elizabeth City has mode a fairly liberal contribution to the relief of the flood sufferers In tlie western part of the stall'; but in vlnv of tit'1 ftiet that more fund are sliil need Id It is well f ir us to note that Eliz aiieth CHy him g!ven lfcss than genie towns of one-fifth Its size and that Flalelgh lias multiplied Eliza beth City's rmitrbutlon by more than ten. Mayor Sawyer has sent nearly three hundnd dollars to the flood relief fund, neirly a'l of which was contributed here in the city. He lias designated a committee, to reeeive funds, for this object, wisely nam In? on th" (onimlttee an officer In each of the city's three banks. It occurred to us, after the active canvass for funds had censed, that It would not be amf to remind our readers that money sent to their bank would be wisely and safely handled and would bo turned over to the mayor promptly to be sent to headquarters. All money paid nt the bank has, of course, gone In through Mayor Sawyer. The suggestion still seems to us not untimely, and we make It again. y i j f H.B.GRANDY S CO COTTON, GRAIN, PRCPUCE ELIZABETH CITY, N. C.

' The Washington News of Friday tells the following story: A certain suburb of Chicago a couple of years ego made up its mind that it was going to get on the map. It was named Maple hurst and its residents were tired, pf shopping in Chicago and having to give the clerks in the stores de tailed Instructions as to how to send their packages to their homes. 'o one In the city appeared to know anything about Maplehurst. Tho Doard of Trade in the little town determined to get Maplehurst before the people and let the en tire world know where it was. Ac cordingly it got buy. The first thing they did was to inaugurate a "bany-cainnz content. "um ber of mothers stood at one of the principal street corners. Their rhtirfren. rantt ne In years from three to five, were placed out in the parks with toys and other amusements to entertain them. Then each mother started calling Its own child, and the one who react el the street corner first! was awarded n Pr'V The thing was something out of the ordinary, and that is what newspapers are are al ways on the lookout tor. The Chicago papers played up that -tory in h& style. It was taken up by the press associations and the newspaper syndicates. Prac tically every larc;e piper in the country printed it the following day and tbesmaller papers got It it plate form a few days biter. And tho Importnt pert of it was. that each paper-ca-ried that story un der a Maplehurst date line. Not satisfied with that the peo ple in the community went on with several other sthenics of a similar nature. Plbnking contests for tho women, smoking contests for th- meu, and other "tun:t" were carried out.v And to eac, of thi'so the newspapers ave thn fullest puMHty. Tt wasn't Ions befom everyone in Clveaeo knew exactly where the Maplehurst was tocnted and shoppers from that community were no longer bother ed with uiving directions to clerks In the stores about Fenrt'ng out pickngCB. What Maplehurst accomplished can a'so le n"omplishrd by othr r'tle that have any "jref i'p an 1-eo" ni'fmi them and want t0 see them selves ndverilscd .. It's the kind of advertising that the city doesn't hnve to pay a cent for, but which h bound to be of the weal est. ben efit, i Yon may be the best citizen In Your-Town; but you won't con vince people, of It by merely tell Inn them .so. - There is nobody so ready with suggestions as to how you should run your business as Ihe man who has failed at his own. It's so much easier to roast some body else than It, Is to do your own duty or to mind your own busi ness that It Is not suritlslng that frail mortals, many of them, fall Into the cussing habit.

Great Occasion At Fort Raleigh One of the largest crowds ever attending the Virginia Dare cele brat'on met at Fort Raleigh Friday morning. The number was es timated at something over one thousand. Gas boatg were In the port from along the coast of North eastern Carolina. Dr. R, B. Drane of Edenton op ened the day's exercises with praper, and Mr. W. D. Pruden of Fdi nton did the occasion and the historic subject ample justice In an eloquent address. Mr. Pru den was followed by Mr. B. G. Crisp of Manteo in a very Inter esting speech. Dr. J. JT Hall of Atlanta, of the American Peace Society, and Mr. I. M. Meeklns of this city who had also been named on the day's program word deterred from participating In thG historic cele bration by a breakdown on their way to attend the exercises, leav- In-r In n rid launch from this city tnat morning. Following Mr. Crisp's address the annual big dinner "for which the Dare County people are known far and near was served In the pavlllion and the afternoon was spent In social enjoyment. There was disappointment at the Virginia Dare celebration on Roa noke Island Friday as well as with "three men In a b6at" who left here early that morning to attend the celebration. The men In question were Dr. J. J. Hal', Mr. i. M. Meeklns and Mr. ' Gregory and they started out ln a gasoline launch Dr. Hall and Mr. Meeklns to take part in the dav's program. The launch was ln charge of ex perienced mechanics and the three passengers felt safe andcertain of reaching their destination prompt. ly. When just opposite the Old Tran wharf, however, and' out In the, channel there wps u halt, fol lowed bv energetic str'vings to per snade the boat to complete the trip, all of wlilth were futile. All otit'-'onin; boats were hailed and asked to tako the passengers on to the historic s'te but the craft were bound for other ports nnd none would answer vea. After two or tbrer hours strng v'e wih the contrary mlndc,i boat which th men npreed was rightly dassiW as of the femln'ne pemler nothing was l"ft to be done save to wait for nnd sicnril the Trenton as she eame in from Wfis Ifeul, and nliout noon Dr. Ha'!, Messrs Meeklns nnd Gregory returned to th e ty and sent, a tel egram nt once to th,i celebration pro-rrnm co'nmPteo exp'nlnliir; the cause cf the dny's disappointment to the large cron-d waiting to hear tributes to Virginia Dnre, the lost colony, and tte hospitality of the people of Dare County.
