FINAL EDITION ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1922 FOUR PAGES NO. 2G1 O i FASCISTI MAKE DEEP BIPRESSION Energy, Authority And Earnestness With Which Mussolini Acts The Reason Rome, Nov. 2 (By The Associ ated Press) The authority, energy and earnestness with which Musso lini has taken hold of Italian inter nal and external affairs has created a deep Impression here. Postponement of the opening of the Chamber of Deputies from No vmber 7 to November 15 has caused some disappointment, as the popu lace is anxious to see what sort of welcome Parliament gives the Fas cistl. Panning Fcr County Rat Killing Car.pa.gn Home Demonstration Agent Working Out Tlans Exterminate Pest In City And County Plana for a rat extermination week for Pasquotank County are now being worked out by Miss Marcie Albertson, County home demonstra tion agent, with a view of partly, at least, getting rid of the pests that destroy annually a great part of the result of the County's labor. Miss Albertson considers rats and mice among the greatest enemies that mankind has to fight and she thinks that nothing should be left undone that will be of assistance in eradicat ing them from the farms and homes of the County. Her work, being mostly in the County, will practically cut out Eliza beth Citf from the benefits to be de rived from this work of extermina tion, and It is thought by many that Elizabeth City should have a rat ex termination week of Its own. This work is carried on on a regular schedule by many cities in the country and has proved ve successful In holding down the pes tiferous "rodent. Rats propagate very rapidly and as long as food can le found to feed them they will in crease until they number as many or more than the Inhabitants of a town. Elizabeth City is especially suited "for their growth, its wharves.Jlumber Industries and feed and grain houses, offering excellent bomes 'and sustenance for the rat colonies.' It is Miss Albertson's idea that prizes should be offered for the ex termination of the rats and the prizes should be large enough to in duce those interested in the enter prise to work hard enough to clean up the city. As stated before, Miss Albertson's work will be in the County only and It seems to be a matter of conjec ture as to who in Elizabeth City should take up the work. MRS. W. E. WOOD DEAD Mrs. W. E.

PHILIPPINE SENATE FOR lli'DEPEuDEiXE October Stealing Laurels Of June City's Pristine Imputation As Gretna Green For Norfolk Would He Re gained At Recent Kate Licenses October is evidently trying to steal June's laurels because October has produced the most marriage licenses in Elizabeth City of any month of Iho year so far. Most of these, however, have been for out of town folks, placing Eliza beth City once more somewhat in the Gretna Green category. Elizabeth City's partial isolation is given as one reason for the selection of this city as the ideal spot to start life in double harness. Those who desire to get away from the usual rush and worry of the average pub lic wedding can find no place that, for natural resources, is better equip ped to offer the lovers a more roman tic atmosphere in which to begin their new life. Ten years ago Elizabeth City was the Gretna Green for all this region. At that time the license was gener ally issued and the marriage cere mony performed with ecclesiastical improRsiveness and solemnity by J. W. Munden, register of deeds and marrying justice of the peace of this city. The State law requiring a phy sician's certificate of health before marriage license can be Issued and a County law forbidding the marriage ceremony to be performed by the officer Issuing the license have to gether greatly reduced the number oi out of town couples coming here to have the nuptial knot tied.
