P Jch has been la process of erec Mi In The Advance shop for the tst week and preparations for le Installation of which have l*en going on since June .10. makes It appearance. The Duplex .Model E Is the Jrtnost expensive piece of printing machinery ever installed in The Advancc shop and, so far as \vh know, is the highest priced print ing press in operation north of Wilmington and East of RaleigK If there Is an high or a higher priced press at New Hern, Rocky Mount or Klnston It has beeu In stalled quite recently. When it Is paid for it will represent an in vestment by this newspaper of something like I12.0G0. The pn4t ,,f iwat ah>np has been In czces^ of $1,000 and has in volved a cash outlay of twice that nmv; Duplex Model E Is tie tnWn press on which The Daily Advance has been printed. When lr this newspaper became a daily r In 191?, the press then in opera s' tion on our floor was a drum cyl inder Uabcock with a speed of from 800 to 1.000 impres3lons an ?* hour.* The circulation of tl:? I daily at that time was about 500, and for that circulation the Bab cock was adequate. However, when circulation had climbed up around the 1,000 mark, the Bab | cock was rather slow. That fait ? alone, however, was not the main factor 1n driving the editor- to a decision to buy a better and fast er press. The Babcock had been . acquired in poor condition fror.i the old weekly. The Tar Heel, anu ^ the print obtained from that jL'i?%A?JhaH never been satisfactory. pU~li*faas_ hi hope malnTy~ot~prlnt^ ing a better looking paper thai IvT t 1919 a Miehle Two-Revolution b Clylnder was purchased, with a I maximum speed of 2,000 Im press la as an hour. ? As long as the circulation ot The Advance temalned around lb* i 1,100 mark and the Bize of the ?? paper continued, for the most , part, to be only four pages, the Miehle was fast enough, and the* management knew very well that ' no press that could be purchased _ would surpass tho Miehle from from a standpoint of the qnalitv , of work that it could produce. The Adavncc flatters itself that, during all the period that It ha been printed on the Miehle, no small town daily coming to our desk has presented a neater ap pearance from a typographical standpoint. When, however, lart fall TIiv Advance became an eight-pagi daily with a circulation of n*arl; 2,500 the management saw tha! the days of the Miehle wore num bered and thnt this press wouul have to go before there could i? liny further notable expansion lVt the circulation of Elizabeth City'* Associated 1'rexn newspaper, Trr~ order to get out Hn elght-pag* newspaper on the Miehle and pu' Its first edition in tho mslls in time to catch rural free dellvor les going out of Elizabeth City, it was necessary to put four page* of the paper on the press ever) morning by 9 o'clock or shortly thereafter. While these four ^ pages were being printed another four were being ma le ready, and when the first four pages, known in the vernacular of the prij;'. shop as the first side, had beer printed, these four "forms" wer*? ?*>kfn off the press and four Wpw "forms" put in their place . Then the folder was attached t"? ^Hie prsss tho la.?=t four pages Wore printed and delivered to the folder, which in turn dol:veio.? the papers ready for distribution to carriers and to the mailing d partment. ? All In all the print ing and folding of the paper re quired something like half a day' work. The maximum speed of ttir Model E is 5.500 un .hour, ho' that tells only half of the stoi y For, Instead cf four pages, the Duptac prints eight pages at ou. tlnio Aand t'hn Duplex folder 1^ l>ul',t fn as a part of the prose Hf? that the papers are printed and folded in one operation. Anoth er radical difference between the Web Perfecting press and the cyl Inder is that the foriber takes Its paper from a continuous ^oll. while the latter prints on sffeets fed Into the press by hand. In stesd of four hours, then. The ~A?UsaM_ii_QW rc^qulre^ only about a half hour to print Its ?Kl'.fl Pr culstlon of 2,500.

That InvestlgatM was conducted along far different lines from the oil Inquiry In ths hand.! of Senator Walsh cf Mon tana. Senator Wheeler permitted any and every sort of testimony to be brought In, regardless of whom It concerned. His chief 'de pendence In the Inquiry was the notorious -GaMon 11. Means, inter national spy and Investigator, who boasted that although he had been accused of every crime In the calendar. He had never been convicted.. That proud record now has been broken, however, for since the flenuto adjourned M.'arin has been convicted In the Federal courts here and sentenced to two years In the Atlanta peni tentiary.
