The Nation Mourns
The nation mourns today the
death of Warren C. Harding
and Elizabeth City and The Ad
vance mourn witn it.
Out of the day of mourning,
let us hope, will come a fullei
and more abundant spirit of that
peace on*earth and good will to
ward men for which Warren C.
Harding always labored?how
wisely or how well it is not foi
a people still bowed in sorrow at
his passing to say.
And The Advance hopes that
this may be true npt only of our
national life, but of our com
munity life as well.
If on the morrow the grief
which we have felt and shared
with a^wtrote nation at the death
of our chosen chieftain has not
purged our hearts of malice and
driven out any bitterness that
may have lurked in them, then,
so far as we are concerned.
Warren Harding will have given
his life for his country in vain.
The Advance is probably
wrong about it, as it has been in
some other matters, but, grant
ing that Maxwell is right about
the State's finances, which ev-i
erybody now except Governor j
Morrison seems ready to con-]
cede, this newspaper can't bring
itself to believe that the situa-l
tion is such as t? make a special,
session of the Legislature either!
probable or necessary.

Thursday was a good day for
digging sweet potatoes, judging
by the appearance of the Van-j
sciver as loaded to capacity she
swung into her moorings at the
North: River Line dock Friday j
morning.
Elizabeth City and Pasquo
tank sportsmen are advised toj
get posted on the provisions of
the new hunters' license law,
which was published in full in,
this newspaper yesterday.
Elizabeth City is sometimes a
bit slow to realize what the
proper thing is, but the old
town, once she realizes what is
expected of her, rises to the oc
casion right nobly.
The Advance confesses to a
feeling of keen disappointment
that Elizabeth City's City Plan-,
ning Commission, authorized by
act of the 1923 Legislature, has
not yet been named.
Talk about camps, but as for
/ us and our house, give us the
home and farm demonstration
camp above all others.
