? The Advance has noted with
considerable interest the follow
ing item under a High Point
date line in a recent issue of the
News and Observer:
The Southern Hallway Company
will Inaugurate nasolln*' propelled
* trains) on the short line between High
Point and Asheboro, about November
1- mic 1 l.i- pain.- mtvIc b? t\v? > n Sal
Isbury and Norwood about the same
date, according to a statement of an
official of tlit? company here today.
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.
An (Jntt'iialilr Position
In the opinion of this newspa
per, most respectfully submit
ted, Trial Justice Spence put
himself in a position that he will
not find tenable when he under
took in recorder's court Monday
morning to set himself up as ar
biter of the question of when
cattle quarantined under the
Statewide cattle-tick eradicatiou
law may be released from such
? quarantine.
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. That was a matter un
i der the law left with the State
. Authorities and Judge Spence's
?ole duty was to determine
whether the law requiring the
owner of quarantined cattle to

dio resrularlv ?nv c?ttle on his'
premises had been complied
with?a comparatively simple
matter.
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

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.
As governor of Massachusetts
Calvin Coolidge delivered a 40
word inaugural address. And
still there are those who say
folks don't love him!
August is a month when most
folks who have to meet a pay
roll wish they were in the ice
cream or thd ice business.
Yes, we have sweet potatoes
today at theH Norfolk Southern
docks. We'll say we have.
Make August 18th a red let
ter day on your calendar. It's
Virginia Dare Day.
Our idea of a slim chance is
that of a Krupp in a French
court.
