high school htitldlnv Friday niuht.
.Mr. Mcl/'an cam** to Kllzaboih
City at the of a week of speech
making which had carried him over
long reaches <?f the State. Ho had
been on the u?? constantly for five
days and for the greater part c?f five
nights when he faced his audience
from the platform of the high school
auditorium, an average of four or
Ave hours sloop having been about
all he had been a bio to get. Friday
was typical of the rest of the weog. !
Ho not up at Windsor at o'clock
for an early start to Rlizaheth City.
The road was now to him and his
driver and Imd beyond all expecta
tions to a man who know something
of tin* strides North Carolina has
boon making In rondbullding, and he
soon saw that it was going to take
hard driving to put him in Klizaheth
City in time for his 1 o'clock ap
pointment to speak before the Eliz
abeth City Uotarians. As a 'matter
of fact, by drlvlnc on Rood stretches
of road at a rate involving some
risk to life and limb, he arrived
about a half- hour late and- began his
talk to tli*? Uotarians almost Imme
diately upon his arrival. That done'
ho had to shake hands with the
members of the club ar.d their,
gti* cts before lie could eat his lunch.
After lunch his friends had him
down town introducing lilni to ETiza
betli City's business section and its
business men. In the evening he was
- u ' of. the Kiwanis Club at dinner.
And from dinner lie went strai^ht
wav to the high school auditoi ium .
"1 was never so tired in my life. '
lie confessed lo a friend after the
pro-.. ram and after those who had
crowded up to shake his hand were
-one "I couldn't put punch in that
speech."
I>hin*t MNs It.
Hut the audience, apparently, did-'
n't miss the punch. II was im
pressed with the speaker's broad
view of education and more lm
pr? ssed. perhaps, as suggested by J.
C. it. Ehringhaus, who Introduced
the1 speaker, that there was a man
behind the speech. Mr. McLean was
^ i veil close attention, generous ap
plause. iind received, at the end of
the program, hundreds of expres
sions of appreciation of his address
from those who heard him.
Prior to the speaker's address 71.
F. .\vt\b ii. chairman of the bonr?*
of school trusteos, made a statement
showing how the $100,000 bofie is
sue voted for the erection of this
and other school buildings in ihe
cllv had been spent. The new hi.!:
school hiilldlng opened Frldav n'uhi
cost *2,r.0.000, $110,00') had b. . n
spent on school buildings for ? ? lb: 1
people, and 150,000 for sites. For
? very dollar spent, ho told his near
er?, the city had received full value,
and, after being handicapped for
two or throe years by lack of room,
now has school facilities which, from
the standpoint of equipment, are
second to none In the Slate. Mr. Ayd
h-tt also took occasion to d? nv wlde
lv circulated reports to the effect
that the colored schools Ihe city
till v uot received as much money as
colored lav payers have paid in for
the citv's schools.
"I kn? W that the white people of
the city would ii want their chil
dren educated with the money . r
colorrd taxpayers, lie said, and we
Investigated this report and found
that the colored rehools have re
ceived from two to three times as
much monev for schools as colored
tax payers have pnld In."
A plea for support of ihe school*
on the part of the parents by Super
intendent S. Sheen and mil*
Heal numbers by the Klizaheth City
Choral Club were other featun s of
the program

justly proud of the wonderful de

our progress is now receiving wide
and favorable publicity throughout
the country; it is not our unprece
dented agricultural prosperity, or
the sturdy character < i' our citiz'ii

take great pride in all these things;
-it is the cause of education in Its
broader aspects, in which Xorth
Carolina has made such wonderful
progress, within the past few years,
that < vary class of our citizenship is
most interested In at the pre ent
moment. And in ibis connection!
let nie emphrtsfcu this significant
and encouraging fact, --that while
our people are pro'iid of what ha <
already been accomplished in cbh

ON THE CAMDEN KO\l)
Traffic was held i: i> for more than j
an hour on tin* Pasquotank IJiv.rj
State liridgo road to Camden Friday!
ni-ht. I?iit a high tide was not the J
cause nf t he tie-up.
A power lilt was Installed for the.
draw of t he bridge this week and I
\\ h? 11 a fuse of the motor blew out |
at about half past nine o'clock Kri- 1
day...njcht with the bridge in mid- ]
air. it took an hour to get an elec- '
triciiii and locate the troubfe.
Meant inn*, with a rapidly falling
temperature, occupants of the/ grow
ing line of motor cars caught on tie*
Camden side of tin- river sat in their
seats and shlverWl. Ity tin* time
that tli** trouble was remedied the
string of cars stretched all tin- way
from the bridge to Clover's Cut.
However. tin- bridge .force will
doubtless soon 'grow accustomed to
t4?e ways of electrical p.futivinent and ;
such delays from so trivial a cause
will hardly li?* |?? >i-iij i (!??<! again lo
hold up traffic for so long a time.
I in f what provision is mad* in
case of a break down at the electric
li-ht plant or of a lire on North
Poinded ter j tp-. t ?
That's a question which Just now
Kli/aheth City motorists .are asking
with -considerable show of interest.
It was stated to a reporter for
this newspaper at the bridge Satur
day that a Vhaiiw. in gears mad"
rinee the motor was installed make;
it a two man job to oporat 1 the draw
by hand. There it re also certain ad
justments. including tl;o tying hack
of the automatic brake sprinu. that
must l?e made now before the lift
can be operated by man power. The
bridge was up last nivht and the
force (in duly was afraid that if it
was lowered by hand before tin* n i ? ?- .
tor was repair* d there mi'- ht be
some difficulty in getting the draw
clear for a passing vessel.
