Connection between the mines was established at an early hour today. Engineers at the mouth of the mine said that at least twenty-four hours would be required before the first body or rescued miner could be brought to the surface. Several days may be required of exploration work before my bodies or men are found, they said. ..;; Cf.4i:n(re II-IJ If MIS Dl2lllllgS 11610 In Jail For Murder Willis Stallings, 23-year-old Pas quotank County negro, who admits that he shot and killed his cousin, Mack Stallings, on Saturday night, September 2nd, and who, though i , ,, ... . taking flight following the shooting, voluntarily placed himself In the custody of Sheriff Charles Reld of this County Friday night, was held for Superior Court without ball on Monday morning when he was given a preliminary hearing before Trial Justice Spence. County Coroner Dr. I. Fearing and Albert Stallings, the defendant's father, and Sheriff Reld were the only witnesses examined at the pre liminary hearing. The shooting oc curred at the defendant's horne where the man shot appears on the face of the evidence not only to have been gettng free board but also to have Insulted and threatened the defendant's wife and sister. It was when he was ordered to leave the house, as a result of the alleged threats and Insults, that a quarrel ensued which ended In Mack Stall- ' Ings death. The shooting according to Albert Stallings' testimony, occurred some where about nine or ten o'clock in I the evening. Mack had apparently w to bed, as he was on a Panet on tne noor in nis unaer cioiues when Willis came In and told j Mack that he would have to cut his! visit short. This angered Mack who j began to cuss out the whole family ! and. according to Albert's testimony,) gabbed for the gun In his clothing on a nearby roucn. Willis was too quick for him, however, and spring room, snatched his own revolver from the wall and fired three times. below the heart and causing death about two hours later. , Jx revoivn iuuiiu 111 ..mv.iv n i.tu jj the coroner and alleged to have be longed to the dead man was exhlbi- ted In court and was a dangerous looking weapon.

The state stressed the fact, how- ever, that there was no evidence that Mack had even , Willis, and that aimed his gun at Willis shot, not In, without displaying the proper II- cense number, ' DRAMATIC STORY TOLD IV "WOMAN HE MARRIED" Anita Stewart will star at the Al krama Theatre Tuesday and Wed nesday In "The Man He Married." This Is an eight reel show and Is one ; of the most thrilling dramas of the I year. The shows will begin at 3, 15, 7, and 9 o'clock. Notwithstanding the fact that for I the past year the unionized coal 1 fields in the country have been un der strike conditions and that the production of coal has practically ; ceased In these territories, Elizabeth City will not, according to E. C. Conger, manager of the Crystal Ice & Coal Company, suffer from a lack of fuel this winter. "There will not be plenty of fuel," stated Mr. Con ger, "as there would be under nor mal conditions, but we will, I am sutlsfied, be able to supply the real needs of the city." This statement, Mr. Conger explained, must not be construed as meaning that condi tions are normal. "The coal situation in the United States Is never normal when there in a surplus of less than 30 million tons of bituminous coal on hand. The only reason that there Is not, at this time, an absolute coal famine, is that the non-unionized mines of Virginia and West Virginia did not stop work and were run on a basis of over production during the strike. The surplus, however, that Is always carried In normal times, had to be drawn on until that surplus reached the present low level of five million tons. "The fir.t week of the resumption of work in the mines there was pro duced a little over six million tons. This was immediately dispatched to the West and Northwest, where the shortage was greatest and where the surplus had been entirely exhausted, and until the Western markets are completely taken care of, there will be very little coal coming to the warmer South, from unionized mines. It is, therefore, necessary that we be careful of' our coal con sumption because we must continue I to draw from our already badly de pleted surplus supply. "We will not," continued Mr. Conger, "be able to procure any anthracite coal whatever, as all an thracite shipments go North and West. Transportation facilities, as bad as they are, will have little or no effect on Elizabeth City's coal although I have at this time nine car loads in transit, whereabouts of which at present are unknown, but I feel sure that they will be here in time to take care of the situation. There is a notable advance In price on coal at the mines, the highest, of which occurred between my two last shipments and amounted to 100 per cent." When asked how much coal Eliza beth City averaged in a year, Mr. Conger stated that he thought there passed through his yards some six or seven thousand tons, which Includ es oi course, the commercial used In his plant. coat The basis upon which the strike was settled, Mr. Conger believes to mai uie miners return to work upon the same schedule that pre vailed for them in 1920 and with a continuance of this work uninter rupted now for a whole year, norm alcy in the coal situation could hardly be expected before the end of next summer. "It Is well to remember that al though Elizabeth City Is so com- lunaoiy Buuated in regard to the ",al 1ut'f tre portions of I ltl""trf "?at " ry n"arIy dea- I tltute of fuel. For Instance. It in highly probable that New York City will have to close nearly 100 of her 650 schools because of lack of fuel. Such , big plants as the Bethlehem Steel Company, and a great many others have had to resort to the use of fuel oil in the branches of their industries where this oil could be used, it is believed that In the Far Northwest, It will be necessary to ration the coal of the large consum ers and It is therefore necessary that i ven we, as small as we are, in con sumption, conserve our resources tn t he very best of our ability PA YXE-HAHRIS James Spencer Payne, Jr., and Miss Sarah Mae Harris, both of this (.. .....
