FINAL EDITION ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 2, Yxi'l FOUR PACES NO. 209 J SIIILOII WAS OUT j , TO SEE PICTURES And Secretary Seized Opportunity Advertise Albemarle District Fair. i The Department of Agriculture at "Washington is sending through this .section a motion picture entertain 1 ment and lecturer. They are visit ing each community and are, with out cost, presenting to the farmer the tried and scientific side of the cultivation of the soil. Friday night the outfit was in Shiloh, where an attendance of be tween four and five hundred people packed the school house to the doors with an overflow of one-fourth that; number outside. The pictures were clear, up-to-date and thoroughly, enjoyable. The ag ricultural treatises were concise and instructive. The one question In the mind of the lecturer seems to be, will the people make an attempt to be bene fitted by the instruction they are re ceiving from this source? Among other things he said, "Against your will you will learn tha the cotton crop U a thing of the past. The boll weevil is at your door. You cannot sidestep this fact and you may as well accept it now and prepare for It, as later." E. S. Pickering, the lecturer, is from Texas,, formerly the largest cotton state in the country. He Is an experienced farmer, and fully quail-1 fled for the position he fills. j At this meeting and in behalf of; the Albemarle District Fair Associa-' tion, appeared R. C. Job, secretary -of the Chamber of Commerce, who tendered the farmer an Invitation to the Fair In a very neat little speech. Among other things Mr. .Job said, "Bear in mind that this Is evn more your Fair than it is Eliza- hoth fliv'a hotanaa it ia an afrrtrul 11 m i ' it . .1 left the grounds. Five minutes af tural1 Fair. Have no fear of the!, , , . . , road," he continued, "because we have the pledge of Mr. McNutt that 'the road shall be "inTmssable condi tion by the first day of the Fair. Cooperating with the Albemarle District Fair Association, the Cham ber of Commerce is sending Secre tary Job Into Camden and Currituck for the next two weeks, during which time Mr. Job will address the rural audiences attending the free motion, pictures exhibited at the public school houses In the two counties. The Itinerary of the free motion picture exhibits was published In this newspaper Thursday.

Sig nificant glances were exchanged by bystanders and for a lung moment: there was silence. After a while,, one man bolder than the rest vol-j unteered the information that they; i had been on the right and only "al-; ' most" accessible road to Klizabeth City from Norfolk. ; "You don't mean to tell me," ex- j claimed the manager, excitedly,! "that we njust go back to Norfolk; over that same route." He was told! that it was necessary that he should. His answer is unprintable. Anyone who has been on that road lately will have no trouble In formulating the answer for himself. However, that is why there was no baseball I game In Elizabeth City Friday. More than 150 fans had assembled, at the baseball grounds to see the tgt game of the geason between th Elizabeth City and Shipping Board teams. Patiently they waited from; 4:45 until 6. At 5:30 it was opined by a few that it would be a good j idea to procure picks, shovels nv chains and repair to the ferry road with the intention of digging up the' visitors. At 5:45 these enthusiastic; souls had reached She conclusion that the visitors had sunk out of sight, and instead of hand tools, a steam shovel would perhaps be re- quired. Nothing was done in this! line, however, and at one minute; past six, occupants of the grand-; stand and bleachers arose as one! man and with faces depicting the1 the keenest disappointment, they terwards, the visiting team arrived. j Scarred by the marks of battle and j caked with the Camden county clay, i they found they had no one to play with or for. The Elizabeth City team had 'left the grounds and its members had dispersed in their vari ous directions homeward. One member of the visiting team, a little muddler than the rest, if such a thing were possible, Inquired "Must we come over this entire blankety, blank road and return again over the same road without a game at this end?" He was told that a tame could hardlv be nlaved ! fwith no one to play with and that ; the Elizabeth City team could not be reassembled for any game at that tl,me i "The Elizabeth Citv All-Stars." tsays Manager Snowden, "apologize ' to nr visitors for a condition overlown auring inursaay nignt, nut his I which annarentlv. no one ha trol and assures the world that some day It is hoped to have' an entrance I tn tha tir .from Pamrton Pniintv" flew York Journalist j Pomerene Bill Now' Has Boat Built Here 1 Goes To The House Vice President Of Tribune Now In Washington, Sen. 2 (By The As ruv t wit..,.-- w,vii TfM'nf soclated Press) T.he Pomerene bill Cruft Kuilt By T.
