A combination motor, baggage car and passenger Heating capacity of 20 and a trailer car with passenger ca pacity of 30 will comprise the equip ment of the trains. It was stated likewise that the company contem plates the empldynx-nt of tills new service on all similar short lines ul timately. This newspaper has had a conviction for some time thi-t the railroads would be forced to some step to meet motor bus competition for short haul traf fic with the development of paved highways throughout North Carolina. Jf the experiment of the Southern is a success The Ad vance wonders if it would be tooj rtiuch to hope that some of us, here in Elizabeth City may see the day when smokeless and rel atively noiseless trains, with op en cars for summer which would afford one good view of the country through which he was passing us an "automobile, will be operating on frequent and regular schedules both between j Elizabeth City and Norfolk and between Elizabeth City and Suffolk. It sounds too good to be true. But unless something! of the sort does come to pass be fore concrete roads connect Eliz abeth City with both Norfolk j and Suffolk, it looks as tliuunh the motor bus would put the Norfolk Southern out of bust-j ness so far as interurban pass enger traffic is concerned.

Until he put himself in this i position Judge Spence did not have to trouble himself at all with the question of whether it was the proper time to lift the ! quarantine on certain premises or not.

Liut when Judge Sponce sets himself up to determine whether the cattle tick has been eradicat-1 ed on certain premises or not he is not only taking an authority not vested in him by law and as to which he will hardly claim that he can qualify as an expert, but he'is also opening up the way for every cattle owner haled into court for failure to! dip his cattle to set up the con tention that his herd and his premises are free of ticks. And if no cattle are dipped in Pasquotank except from prem ises on which the ticks can be actually found at the time of the dipping, the complete eradica tion of the cattle-tick,iuT^asquo ?iiillls?iliu bs indefinitely Hp. ferred. i The idea of a County whole time prohibition officer, recom mended for Wake by the sheriff of that County, does not seemj to The Advance half bad.
