ELIZABETH GITY ' It, ' An Opportunity With the Statewide stock law Eastern North Carolina willJ miss a great opportunity if it does not turn largely to pro ducing beef and dairy pro ducts. At next week's drain age convention in Elizabeth City, Mark W. Potter, a mem ber of the Interstate Com merce Commission, is one of the speakers. He owns large acreage of reclaimed land in the eastern part of the State and at the drainage meeting he will explain his plans for turn ing his acres into a dairy farm. North Carolina has good markets for dairy products and beef cattle. There are many flourishing cities in this State to be fed. We are also close to the Virginia city and not far from, the great cities of the East. The State Geological and Economic Survey in calling attention to the Drainage Con vention points out the fact that although North Carolina is relatively close to the markets of Virginia and the East this State supplies but little of the dairy products which those markets consume. Norfolk, alone, to take a city near by, the Economic Survey says, im ports a car load of butter a day But Norfolk gets this butter from Wisconsin and other mid die western states. , not from North Carolina. Yet the d vantages for dairying are better, in North Carolina than in Wisconsin. Cattle can be kept' on the pastures in North Carolina all the year. They have to be fed only a few months. ' "With the reclaiming of the swamp lands ami the passage of the stock law the last barrier in the way of pure "bred cattle raising .has been removed," says the Economic Survey. Eas tern Carolina farmers, viome of them, at least, have been dis- ' I by tha papsajre of the ' ' -w Me f tock law. It it turns BREAD And GAK "Keep Fresh Longer" .-.) r ASK YOUR GROCER!

It springs spontaneously from a desire to show consideration for the needs and feelings of all persons regardless of rank or position.

F GARRETT, 'Assistant Cashier "THE KID" A KNOCKOUT Charles Chaplin's New Feature 10 Be Shown In Elizabeth City Next Week' The most remarkable and unusual picture released within the past six months is Charles Chaplin's six reel feature "The Kid," scheduled for ex- hlbltlon at the Alkrama Theater on Tuesday, April 12th. This Chaplin a distinct departure a feature with a story written 'and directed by the star and marfcs Chaplin's debut In a film more pretentious than a short slap stick comedy. "The Kid" Is an artistic mixture of comedy and pathos a fine example of the kinship of the emotions and the prox imity of langhter and tears. Chaplin never registered the path-' os, nor caused the chunks in your throat as he does in this. - And he has rarely made you laugh more heartily. Once In a while he slips into slapstick stuff, but as a rule this is happily , missing, and there are some touches thaf make you forget it's a comedy. And this -flnly accen tuates tb,e laughs when theycome. There are a lot of them, too. The story is there .with a wallop. A little waif, abandoned by Its mother, la finally taken up by Charlie because he can't lose him, try as hard as he does. All the hok um Is there showing how Charlie takes care of him, in the end the kid being returned to his mother, who is now a famous singer. How Charlie takes to the little one protects d raises him and finally fights off a,-e county officials who would take the youngster to the county orphanage, and how, in the end, the youngster goes to bis mother, only to be' fol lowed by Charlie, makes up the plot. But this synopsis cannot beg(n to do Justice to the innumerable bits of real humor, of real comedy, that, in terspersed as they jjre, contribute to making this one of the greatest pic tures you ever had a chance tee. Little Jackie Coogan is "The Kid." A newcomer with a real per sonality, he is Immense. Edna Pur vlance has a mighty good part, and Charlie well, he la the same old irresistible laugh make that he has always been. Adv. FOR SALE LAHGE YELLOW Chrysanthemum plants. .Nice slxe.
