(By Th As.nrlilw1 Pres.)

suffering and weak In our protests;ders on account of the continual snow
when the State Is over-run by lm
posters who would unload upon us
the spurious stocks of fictitious cor
porations operating under the guise
of legitimate enterprise."
This statement was made here to
day .by Stacey W. Wade, State In
surance Commissioner, in addressing
North and South Carolina commer
cial secretaries in convention. The
commissioner spoke on "The Fake
Stock Evil and How to Combat It."
He urged North Carolinians and citi
zens of the neighboring state to in
vest in home corporations and en
terprises. "The mind can hardly conceive
the extent to which the operations of
these imposters have carried on their
operations during recent years in Ine -tenants ana Miners iran
this and other states," he said. i portation Company stated that po
am informed that the profits accru-1 ta,0fs 'e 'oadp(i for 'his
ing from these operations to the pro-section and that with a little rise in
moters, to say nothing of the expense temperature the situation could be
and commissions of the agents andigreatly rellevefI-
other graft, yielded the immense
yum of $600,000,000 during the
year 1922 throughout the country.
"The only consolation I can get
from this appalling statement is that
since 1921, when the license of all
blue-sky companies operating in
North Carolina was suspended, we
have refused to admit foreign pro
motions to feed on our people, grant
ing a license to none who could not
show physical assets to justify ex
pansion, and a reasonable hope of
' fl.
profit
"Yet, there Is the mail-order
stock faker, whose tactics and art
fulness surpass the imagination;
whose fund of information concern
ing your personal affairs nd pros
pects is Inexhaustible. They are (be
yond the hand of our State laws.
They have an occupational directory
of the whole State, and offer for a
short time only an exceptional op
portunity to the teacher, the mer
chant, or the minister, as the case
may be, to share in their large-earnings.
"This, they say, is an exclusive
privilege and must not be extended
to any except perhaps some few of
the prospect's friends who may be
members of the same profession.
This opportunity is offered only be
cause the promoter himself was at
one time employed in that lowly oc
cupation from which the victim is se
lected, and knows something of the
hardships and small pay usual to
such occupations, but having by ac
cident found magic wealth in what
ever pet scheme he has, feels it his
duty to humanity to Met In' other
unfortunates.
"We have great financial institu
tions at our doors, worthy, prosper
ous and prontaoie manuiaciuring
plants, all desiring to expand, and
welcoming the support of our peo
ple. These you can appraise at first
hand, and ascertain that they are
properly officered and managed. In
vestment in them, while not always
safe without investigation is attend
ed with much less danger than the
prospect of fortunes from foreign
promotions," he said.

Severe snow storms and a short
age of freight cars in Maine is the
cause of delayed shipments of seed
potatoes to farmer's in Eastern North
Carolina, according to N. T. Aydlett
of Aydlett & Owens.
"Farmers In this section have
been much perplexed over the slow
delivery of seed potatoes," says Mr.
Aydlett, "and many shippers have
been unable to fill half of their or
storms and the car shortage
'Boston now has five feet of
snow, having had thirty-two snows
without any of them melting. Trans
portation companies have been un
able to take care of all the heavy
shipments of seed potatoes and some
shipments made over thirty days
ago are still undelivered.
"Most seed potatoes for this sec
tion are routed on the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company
line from Boston, Mass.. to Norfolk,
and with the extremely low tempera

has been no loading in Aroostook

THIS IS LAST APPEAL
TO THE PEOPLE OF ELIZABETH CITY AM)
PASQUOTANK COUNTY:
This is our last appeal to you. The extremity of the
suffering of the earth is our opportunity. "In as much
as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it
not to me."
These poor despised people are suffering for Christ.
Their persecution and martyrdom would cease today if
they would deny Christ and embrace Mohammed. But
they refuse to accept that as deliverance, "that they
might obtain a better resurrection."
Of many of them it may be said "Of whom the world
is not worthy." Armenia's faith is written in her blood
while an indifferent world has stood by.
Christians and Jews should awaken to the fact that
the Moslem is an exterminator. He has boasted for
centuries that he is going to make Palestine a Jewisii
cemetery. At the same time many centuries has dem
onstrated his fiendish hatred for the cross.
Helpless hands are held out to God's people in this
favored land. Shall they call in vain? God forbid.

soils in the State. There are some
soils in this section that produce
especially heavy yields of soy beans
yields that are probaibly not equal
led anywhere In the State. This is
an Important fact, considering the
number of ways soy beans are used;
namely, as a forage crop, as a con
centrated feed for livestock, and for
human food. The oil extracted from
the bean has many valuable uses,
and the crop is a great soil Im
prover." Included in the area now being
surveyed is the Dismal Swamp, a
great part of which, according to Mr.
