Willi a paved road all the A*ay froi.i
Listers rier to Eliiabeth Ci'.v. It
was confident that private interest*
could easily be led to operate the
proposed ferry until the State could
In- brought to take it over.
'For a while only favorable com
ment was heard as to Mr. Carter ??

tic champions of tin* practice .illt>
and feasibility of the plan beipa J
H. l.eHoy of the Albemarle Fertiliz
er Company, who has had i|"lte a
wide experience In transportation ill
this section. Hut a week or so al
ter Air. Carter and Mr. l.eltoy bad
had their *ay in The Advance, H. M.
Prltc.bard of Salem township rave
tills newspaper a statement wlticn
si e'-ueil to deal a death Wow to the
whole scheme. Mr. I'rltchard s.-i.i
that 1 1i e ferry between the two coun
tii's would not be feasible on v.r
coant of the exposed fihore lin-' at
Listers Pier which would manrf it
Impossible to build a pier there tlu.t
would stand the storms of winter,
and on account of tin' "dan sera of
Hov-neck Shoal, which lies just off
the mouth of Utile River.
Nobody offered any answer as to
Mr. Prltchard's ?uu?estion and inter
est in the -proposal lagged.
TMs w""k, however, a new cham
pion of Mr. Carter's proposal has
com* forward who has spent the
m at. r part of his life either on the
wati-r or at work connected w'th the
operation of water craft, nnc' he is
CiMiii.lent that the scheme, with a
few modifications, is entirely feasibh
nnd that Mr. Carter failed to picture
all the advantages that would ac
crue if it could he put over.
This new champion is D. It. Mun
den of the firm of Munden & Alex
ander, who has been in the sail bus
iness for quite a number of years
and who. prior to goinn into this
business, was engaged In fishing or
boatintr in sound waters. Naturally,
then. Mr. Munden Is thoroughly fa
miliar with the dej.th of water and
the location of shoals at the mouth
of I.lttle River. Though he admits
that there is grcAtnd for objection to
a ferrv landing at Listers Pier, he
is confident that such objection could
readily be obviated by bavin?: the
ferrv landing a short distance up tin
river. Shoals at the mouth of the
river, hf points out, would then be
an advantage lifatead of a disadvan
tage. as that would give the ferry
practically a land locked harbor for
the pier r it which li would tie up at
liluht. "There would be no difficul
ty whatever." savs Mr. Munden, "In
negotiating the channel nt the mouth (
??f Little Hlvrr. I have put In ai
the mouth of the river time and
a :?in. and I remember vividly one
Instance when, caught in a gale on
the sound after leaving the mouth
of the Sctippernong River, I found
shelter in Little River on a night so
dark that on# could not see the
length of the llttl" vessel that I was
sailing.- , tt ,
Not only would the establishment
of this ferry, in Mr. Munden's opin
ion. do nib that Mr. Carter sav:? It

Tyrrell counties an outlet and In the
wav of bringing trad" from the?"
counties to Elisabeth City, but also
It would do much to Improve lands

unc veloped, are among the rich, a (

"And not only Tyrrell and 7T. ee
says Mr. Munden, "but aipo the very |

more Intimate relation with Eliza- J
herb City through this ferrv." Pur
ants Ncek farmers*, he points out.

f)u rants Neck farmers llvintr at n[
distance from the ferry could leaVe |

Mr. Munden Is enthusiastic about .
the possibility of this section of Pas
quotank as a summer resort. "I had i
a < Ashing camp down there once/; he |
savs. "and ther- was no night of the
summer when I Hayed down there

Oliver Gilbert Tells
About Drum Fishi ig
His Articic In William 1' nn
Points Leading Feature Cf
February issue
All article by O. I\ Gllbrr* on
Drum Fishing Sout?? or thr> >?r:son
and Dixon Lino, illustrated with a
picture of Fred I-foutz holding in li in
hands a 44*2 pound channel bass
caught at Or?-:on Inlet, is the 1 ad
inu feature of the .February issu ? of
William P? nn Points, senii-menthly
magazine which is the lions-.' organ
of the William Penn and Fort Pitt
. l^otels in Pittsburgh.
"Drum fishing on the Car- Una
coast." says the magazine in way of
introduction to Mr. Gilbert's article
?will furnish kindly sport for any
aiigl. r." It is interesting to note,!
in this connection that Colonel C.
,C. Butler, one of the proprietors of
the two magnificient Pittsburgh ho
tels mentioned in the foregoirfg par-'
avrapti, Is a member of The Duck
Island Club and a frequent visitor in
Klizabeth City on his way to and
from th?' club. It was after having
felt the thrill of a- 40 pound dfum
fisli on* Ills line that Mr. Butler. on
returning to his home, wrote Mr.
Gilbert for information about druin
fislftn^ that he (Could pusq on t,o tin.*,
thousands of guests that stop at his >
hotels during the year.
"Successful * business men." says
Mr. Gilbert in the article that he
wrote In response to Mr. Butler's in
vitation. about like successful
fishermen. Whatever your vocation
may be, whether It is that of a mer
chant, a manufacturer, a doctor or
a lawyer, the successful man usual
ly gdes Into the fundamentals of his
particular line of business and stu
dies all the little things pertaining
thereto. lie does not trust to luck.,
Drum Ashing requires possibly not so
much thought or attention to detail
as one would devote to his business;
but to be a successful fisherman
there are several things which can
not be Ignored and should be car -
fully considered.
"I hope* this article may give some
busv man whf^* hasn't had the tint ?
to learn by experience information
that will enable him to enjoy some
??f the greatest sport on the Allan-,
tic coast. Once yon feo| t' e pull
of a drumfish and the swish of the*
line ir. his rushes, vjtii w .11 find a
thrill that you will never target."
In the ho{ly of his article Y,\ Gil
bert sets forth with a business man ?
clearness and terseness of expression
and In question and answer style
f.icts the knowledge which have
niad*1 him a successful drum fisher
man. Oliver Gilbert Is as good a
! sport as lie |? a good sportsman, and
[doubtless will Impart these facts to

be Interested enough to u?*k him

Advertising Is Barometer

(Copyright. 1824. fty Th? Adwitnrr)
Babson Park, Florida. Feb. 22. ? A new barometer lias been
added to the list of factors on which changfcs can be anticipated,
?the relationship between newspaper advertising and local
business.
Wo have long needed a reli
able measure of business psy
chology. My associates having
studied and rejected several in
dices finally analyzed -newspaper
advertising lineage, both as a
cause in changing local business
conditions and as a barometer
by which impending improve
ment or decline can l>e antici
pated. The results in this fi 'Id
of investing are exceedingly in
teresting nnd pertinent.
*11 comparing newspaper advertis
er by jv nths with the volume of
local business In thirty leading cities
for a period of ten years my asso
ciates find thai thorn is a distinct
connection between these two fac
tors. An Increase In newspaper id-,
versing Is paralleled In almost every
case by an Iner?ase In loaal busl
r .an beglnnH'? the same month.

figures, the drop forfrchst by tlijs de
cline In newspaper Unease however,
developed during the first two

following in June. Lineage Incres's^d
in September cp ' ? paralleled by
the revival of fall business. , A de
cline of the N'oveniber figures Indi
cated a drop In general activity
which materialized after the first ol
.tlr* year.
In tlie city of Minneapolis, ad'
vertising Increased during February
c>MrW-2. Gem rjil .business hnprove
in: nt began to be felt in March. Ad
vertising lineage lurried downward in
June and general business worked
o f to a 1"W print in August. Ad
\t Mining lineage increased slightly
in September and was paralleled by
the fall rise in general business ac
tivity. The drop in business occurr
ing during the fir t two months of
wns forecast by a substantial
decline in advertising lineage be
? tween November and Decembor of
the previous year. Advertising and
general business turned fur tho bet
ter Ir. February of l4?23 and the de
cline of advertising lineage between
April and May clearly indicated ttye
recession r/T business which followed,
beginning In the latter month. Both
advertising llneagn and general bus
ine?i again turned upward during
July, a month ahead of 'he u/ual
seasonal turn. The marked decrease
i*i advertising lineage following a
)::gh point In October of last year,
foretold" the decline in local activity
developing, beginning In November
.?'ill developing thru December and
January of this year.
For scfentilic study of this factor,
it is necessary to eliminate seasonal

vert "sing, so Hint you get the trti"

it is also the lirst real chance of a general Knropeun settlement
since the close of the Paris peace conference."
This opinion, expressed to me; *
by an Englishman of European \

Hit? present Labor government,)
pretty accurately measures the
extent of the present optimism
in this, country. Settlement with
France and ? the adjustment of

wi'.s carried on by the f<?rei*~ i offices,

_ feel Inn: that his was netting the

Now tie- British ;tubllc baa mad.

pretty well t expired in I'rltnint '

But by contrast, with the adv< nt of
a new government, there Ms beep ?
sudden well-nigh complete end o'
press campaigns against France; the
atmosphere has been cleared; the at
titude of querulous s uspicion on both
?Ides of the channel has disappeared.
Aluive all, MacDouald has not
tried to j.To round France and to
make any European coalition agaljisi
her, with cioriuany admitted. Tl is
is what was expected by some, feared'
by others. On the contrary, lie has
rot out to prepare the ground for
general settlement by reaching a liv
