The Advance has been for Mc Adoo first, last and all the time ; but this newspaper would not continue to favor his candidacy should it find that ho had ac cepted a fee from oil interests tendered him because of his supposed influence with the ad ministration with which he had been identified. On the other hand we are not disposed to turn thumbs down on the McAdoo candidacy until Mr. McAdoo himself has been heard from. Our attitude is identical with that of otfier friends of Mr. Mc Adoo whom Mr. Lawrence, in his Wednesday dispatch, rep resented as not willing to "quit him because of an unverified statement of a man who desert ed the Democratic party in 1920 and contributed to the Republi can campaign fund and whose leases have been annuled large ly through the efforts of Demo cratic members of the United States Senate." More Good Work Credit the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce with another good piece of work. Most of us had given up the idea of anything better than a nine-foot road through Camden County and were asking onlv that paving on the project be not longer delayed. But this man Job, who is sec retary of the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce, is cer tainly a persistent cuss. And, as a result of his persistence and perseverance, Camden is again within sight of a 16-foot highway. Of course if Camden wants to gum things up by prolonging the controversy as to the route of the highway, it can probably do so. But that won't be Mr. Job's fault. On a I'crmunriit Bania The Advance is pleased to an nounce that the staff of special correspondents that have been serving this newspaper for the last two weeks are to be re tained on a permanent basis. * In addition to being an Asso ciated Press newspaper, in oth er words, The Advance is now a Consolidated Press newspaper as well. V "By thus supplementing your Associated Press report," writes the business manager of thn Consolidated Press, "you are giving the people of Elizabeth City n paper the like of which few, if any, communities of sim ilar size in the United States can boast. I trust that it is ap preciated and that you are get ting deserved returns in busi ness and circulation." Why Not Sooner? The Advance doesn't like to butt in on a Camden controver sy with which it has no concern, but it feels sure that the only thing that tho?e who seek to change the route favored by the State's engineers can do is to de lay action. Sooner or later the road will be built by the route favored by the engineers. Why not sooner and have done with controversy?

Tues day was a day of a notable ev??iit in the history of the Bragaw family of this city. Mrs.* Richard Bragaw, sis ter-in-law of Capt. J. O. Bragaw, was 100 years old and the occasion was a regular centenary celebration at her home in Jamaica. Long Island. Mrs. Bragaw is bright and active ? still able to go up and clown stairs, and in full possession of a!l her fac ulties. Her vision is slightly 1m- ? paired but beyond this she is a won derfully self-possessed woman. Mrs. Bragaw evidently comes from a long lived family -as her cousin. .

The church is seeking to d?> a community-wide service. An offering is taken each evening with the hope that the pictures will prove self-sup porting, but no charge is made and all are welcomed. The pictures con sist of industrial pictures furnished by the International Y. M. C. A. &n?l one reel from the Herald Picture's Story of tho Bible films. As Cain and Abel is the subject of the Bible picture this week, it i * suggested that all read the chapter in Gen^i.j which tells the story beforehand and that parents tell the story to th.? children who are too young to read for themselves. The industrial pic tures this week are "Story of a Watch," three reels. "Story of tho Orange," one reel, and "A Trip to Mt.
