DIRECTORS ACTING ON HOOD RESIGNATION j Gurney P. Hood returned Thurs day fronj Gates County, to which he made his first trip, following his res I lunation as cashier of the Carolina1 I Hanking & Trust Company, In the I interest of installing the copyrighted ]Hood Weekly Loan System in the banks of that county. He reports a | most encouraging reception of his system. Mr. Hood's resignation, though accepted by the executive committee of the bank before Mr. Hood left for Gates County, was not formally aet ! ed upon by the directors until Thurs day. The question of Mr. Hood's [successor was also up for consider ation at the same time, but no state-, ment as to any action taken had been given out when this newspaper went to press. "It was because the directors had taken no action on my resignation tfiat I made no formal statement be fore leaving the city," said Mr. Hood. ?"I have really had-lhe matter._Qf_ giving my whole time to introducing the Hood System into banks throughout the country for nearly two months. With financial condi tions in my own State so favorable I came to the conclusion that now was the time to take the step." Mr. Hood came to Elizabeth City from Tarboro when the Carolina Banking & Trust Company opened its doors for business in the fall of ' 1921. The bank was organized in i 1920. Dairy Conference Held at Syracuse Kni|iha.siM Will be Placed on lni|M>r tance of Dairy IndtiKtry in Nation Washington, Oct. 4.?Aaron Sapi- j ro, general counsel^ of the National Council of Farmers' Co-operative | Marketing Associations, told the ; World's Dairy N Congress today that.' the country was only beginning to realize the true purpose and im- | portance of the co-operative move-'i ment. "The dairy farmers of Switzerland j were the first to see the value of co operation for production, which, of j course, led to co-operation for mar- 1 keting; and the dairymen of Den- | mark evolved the hundred per cent ! pooling, long term, binding contract! 'form of co-operative organization. This kind of organization is used to day among American farmers of all types. It has brought outstanding success to the fruit growers of the far West, the tobacco growers, the cotton growers, and innumerable others. "What is* more important, the practices which led these dairy farm ers to success established our pres^ ent guiding principle that the true aim of co-operative marketing is the ! substitution of scientific merchandis ing for the disorganized dumping of jfarm products. Co-operation in the ! dairy industry holds an even greater than historical interest by reason of the multiplicity of special problems with which the co-operator is con fronted. The solution of this sur plus problem through co-operative ! merchandising to increase and make more general the demand for cheese and other milk products, is the key jto the intelligent market of millfr~~ "All of these difficulties are pres ent in a marked degree In this coun try, and the recognition of the true purpose of co-operative marketing together with the application of the ?proper technique are just beginning, i This is true in spite of the fact that i In volume of general organization American dairymen exceed the actlv-] itles of any other class of our agrl- i cultural producers. However, there j are many commendable examples of j modern type organizations which j may thus far be cited, such as The Dairymen's League Co-operative As-j soclation, Inc., and the Twin City | Milk Producers' Association. Fur-! thermore, the country's dairy lead ers are beginning to think and act along correct co-operative lines with I the result that the tremendous 'amount of existing organization Is j becoming a great asset instead of a i hindrance to the development of pro- I ducing co-operation in the marketing of milk. "A growth Is foreshadowed In the .Immediate future, which will equali jlf not surpass, the co-operative [achievements of any other branch of [American agriculture." Ft'VHItAL <i. W. HAWYK1K The funeral of George W. Sawyer, who died at hln home on Body Uoad Ave miles from town about 6 o'clock Wednenday evening, was conducted at the home Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. K. L slack and Interment wan made at Halln Creek. Mr. Sawyer wan about 40 year* old and had been In bad health for aeveral yearn. ? He In survived by hln wife, three children, and two brother*, John Sawyer of Nixonton and Mark Saw yer of thin city. SPECIAL COURT TO TRY NEGRO CONVICT Raleigh. Oct. 4.?Governor Morrl aon announced lant night that a npe clal nennlon of court to try John Oom, negro, charged with an attack on an aged white woman which pre cipitated the Mitchell County race trouble, will be called Immediately and the exact date of the trial will be aet today. To Candidates and Their Friends In the beginning of the present circulation cam paign, The Advance tried to set forth, in the rules governing the contest, one fact with particular care. That fact was that the campaign was launched with the idea of extending this newspaper's circula tion in the ten counties of the Albemarle District, and that subscriptions that would have to be mailed outside this district would earn neither votes nor commission. Here is the rule: Votes will not be allowed on subscriptions outside Elizabeth City's trade territory of I'asquotank. Perquimans. Camden. Currituck. Gates. Chowan. Washington. Tyrrell. Hyde and Dare counties. The foregoing rule is not made arbitrarily or in order to embarass or hamper any candidate, but only to limit effort to subscriptions that are worth while, from this newspaper's standpoint; It is pretty generally understood now that the sub -aertption price of a newspaper d o_e s_ n o t begin to cover the cost of producing it. It is from the advertiser that the newspaper must get its revenue and subscriptions are sought in order to make the paper of more value to the advertiser. It can readily be seen that a subscriber in Norfolk or at Raleigh or anywhere outside Elizabeth City's trade territory is of no value to the Elizabeth City advertiser. Recognizing this fact, The Advance charges a higher rate for subscriptions outside Eliza beth City's trade territory. To a subscriber in the teif "counties of the Albemarle District, for instance, the sub scription price of The Advance is $4 a year. To a Nor folk subscriber the price is $5 a year. To a subscriber in Baltimore or beyond the price is $6 a year. Even at the higher price. The Advance considers that every copy mailed out beyond Elizabeth City's trade territory is sent out at a |oss, and accfepts these subscriptions only as a matter of retaining the good will and keeping in touch with a former resident, outside the city perhaps only temporarily, or as a matter of possibly advertising the section to a non-resident who is interested in it as a home-seeker. Such subscriptions are therefore sent out cheerfully but they are not sought after. The Advance trusts that the foregoing explanation will make it clear both to candidates and the general public why neither votes uor commissions can be al lowed for these subscriptions outside its territory and trusts that no credit will be looked for on such sub scriptions turned in during this campaign. The general public is reminded that the rate of $4 a year does not apply outside the ten counties of the Albemarle District and candidates are reminded that these outside sub scriptions may be accepted to oblige a subscriber but are without value in the race for the Velie and other prizes. Very Few Candidates Are Active Up To This Time Contest for I'elie Still Anybody"1* Kace and One Mnv Enter Now It 'ith Practically Even Chance to If'in First Prize in Tliia Cam /niifin In view of a conversation the cam paign BMBI|Vr hid with a prospec- | tive contestant In The Advance "Ev erybody Winn" Auto and Gash Prix" Campaign, It seems very necessary to ; point out that being "nominated" In the content and being an active can- ' dldnte Is not the name thing at all. i The Hat publlnhed Wednesday 1 showed a number of nomination* but actually very few active candidate*. "There are so many already In th?? ; contest," said the young ladv over | the phone, "that I am afraid I would be under a big handicap." ?The campaign manager assured her that such was not the case .and went on to explain that an "active , candidate" Is one who has turned in at least one subscription and besides ! the regular earned votes on Hint one ' subscription, has also been credited with the 100,000 bonus votes which go with every -first subscription turned in. As the young lady remarked after looking at a copy of The Advance. J "Why hardly anyone at all ha* real ly started no far. Oh, I am ho glad I phoned you and ! ain going right out and get ??>>' first hiirl|?tion and earn thone 100.000 extra votes." It la (treatly to be hoped for the contestant*' sake that there wit! be a large number of real contender* In the race, since the more contestants who participate the greater will be the votlna npllt and the few votes will be necesnary to win the prise. Any who feel that they would Ilk* to enter the content, but Junt cannot make up their mlndn to get started are Invited to call at The Advice office and let the campaign manager explain to them all about the "Ev erybody Winn" Prise Campaign. There are no "Ifn" or "andn" In con nection with the race. You either get 10 per cent canh commission of the subscription money you turn In. or one of nix gold awards or a Ford Roadster or a $1,395 Velle Touring Car. Which will It be? It In entire ly up to you! NOMINATION BLANK ? In The ? Daily Advance "Everybody Wins" Campaign I hereby enter and cast 5,000 free votes for Mlsa (Mr. or Mm.) ? - . Address - . ? ..
