In the opinion or members of the b""'| of directors of the club, should be in fine condition by spring. The Camden ulte has now been definitely decided upon and pur [cbued. = "? Camden Connty people who urged the selection of the Cam den site and who promised that there would be co-operation on the part of Camden road building authorities in the .matter of a good road from the end of the state concrete highway from Eliz abeth City to Camden are elated at the action taken, according to reports received here, and a start was made on the Improvement of the country club road Saturday. This* would ?eem to indicate that the asMurance given directors of the country club' by prominent , citizens of Camden that the road I would be provided, if the Camden I alte was selected, will be made good. r The realization teems to be taR ing hold of forward looking citi zens In Camden that the location I of the Elizabeth City Country Club | In that county will mark a new Among tho possibilities, for In stance. is the springing up of a | summer colony along the river shore on the club property, to say ; nothing of tho bu or more auto ' mobiles a day that would be paM ! ing to and from tho club bearing peoplo of means who would thus be made familiar with tho advan ? tages of Camden County. i The Camden County site was se lected for the Elizabeth City .Country Club after a careful, in | veatigatlon on the part of the site committee and exhaustive cons|d ' e ration on the part of the board of directors. The only other sTle seriously considered was a tract ; of 100 acres situated the Weeksvllle road four miles from Elizabeth City owned by W. A. Worth and Mlsa. Margaret- Hollo* well. Tho price of this tract was i $25,000. _ f The' Camden County flte Is a tract of 200 acres, situated on , the north shore of the Pasquo tank river in Camden County si* miles from Elizabeth City owned by L. L. Winder. Jr.. II. J. Wood. W. E. Hlnton and the ostato of J B Flora This tract as pur chased for $12,500. or Just half the price at which the Pasquo tank tract was offered ? T!re~ pawfuotairtr tract eon*T*t* of highly cultivated farm land without the natural slope* and op en woodland most desirable for purpose* of a country club, viz: club golf course, trails, tennis [courts, and so on. The Camden ' tract, on the other hand, had all | these advantages. Moreover, the land In not highly cultivated and , can be converted Into a beautiful golf club course and club site i without destroying any of Its pres ent value. The opinion of the site committee, consisting of Dr. John ' Saliba. ehplrmnn. William C. I Meeklns. W. P. Duff. Miles Clark land ft. C. Job, was that to con vert the Pasquotank tract into a I golf course would depTcdatn Its lvalue while to convert the Cam den tract Into a club site and golf (course would enhance Its value. Not satisfied to rely solely up on their ojrn Judjcment io I matter the site committer called | In an expert In the construction of golf courses and this expert, af ter Inspecting both sites consid ered. unhesitatingly rscommehded the Camden site. Some criticism of the Camden site was heard on the ground that i there Is no dependable road from 1 Elizabeth City to that part of | Camden County, but this objec tion Is being overcome by the i work now being done by the State 'Highway Commission on the float ing concrete road and by the work now being undertaken toward Im ' pi'ovlngMhe country road In Cam den from the end of the concrete to a point within a half mile of I the club site, SURRENDERS FOR Ml'KUKH OF IN-LAWS Cincinnati.

TELLS HOW MAINE SOLVED PROBLEM Boston Engineer Visiting ill Ituleigh Give* Interest ing Statistics in Regard to State Ports. | Raleigh, Sept. 29. ? Advantages to he derived from th<> operation of State-owued port facilities are illnstruted at Portland, Maine, where the State has expended $1. j 300,000 in freight rates, opened 'new markets to Maine farmers and manufacturers und earned more than 110,000 over and above I the cost of operation, according (to Frederic H. Fay, prominent j engineer of Boston, Maasachu i who was in Raleigh a few riavn mil, ? ? ? . Maine's need for publicly owned port facilities was almost aa great as that af North Carolina, Mr. Fay said. While the Port ? In n<l pier was tinder eonstrueHonr as fast as portions were 'complet ed, boats began to use It. Karly last year the first line came in. operating from Portland, through the Panama" Canal, to Pacific ports. With the completion of the pier this year, boat lines began to use it to its full capacity and ton nage for all parts of the world Is being cleared from it. "Benefits to the State," Mr. Fay -sa^.- 4' have been the? iHtrel* opment of new steamship llneR. 1 widening of old and creation of new markets. This has been par ticularly true of the business car ried on between .Maine and the * Pacific Coail' states.' TlVrou ghTKe medium of water freights a Maine manufacturer can ?IUp moea to Pacific Coast po^s for less than half the rhargo of the 8t. Louis manufacturer has to pay. "Savings on freight bound for Pacific points, In a years time, have amounted to more than $250,000. and the rail rate to New York has been so reduced as to save another $50,000. The total savings in freight moving 1 through the state pier for. the Pe riod ending June 30 have been more han $300,000, or more than 20 per cent of the State's Invest ment In the project."

Hat I sf a ( t or y evidence of flint Is via ble In many quarters of this great manufacturing section. it in equally apparent that automobile manufacturers ft ro not going to make as much money an they did in the banner year of 1923. In fact even tliosy companion which have shown a natlcfartory profit in the early part of the year or for the nine mnntha to date are not sum of holding. on to thoro profits. There are enough cross currents still running to swing *>v*n tiic stronger concern* toward danger. Another sharp slump In demand during the next three months might not only ob literate the profits of the last quarter of the y^r but wipe out many of THe gaTnT of nt6~ftnrt thrce quarters. " Kncli quantity manufacturer has a point of production where conts and profits exactly balance If the number of cars made each day falls below that point, there not only are no profit*, but over head must Inevitably make terrific inroads on surplus. This point varies with every manufacturer, with fluctuations of material mar kot.M. and from day to day. During tho last bad slump however. expei* J; figured out that the Ford <ompany could make 2^00 cars a day and break ejren whereas they would bo mak ing a handsome profit at produc tion of five thousand. That may not represent tho Ford ratio to day. but the point In production where profit cea?*a and heavy loss begins exists for Ford a* well, as for other companies. If therefore, a slump should com* In tho next three inqnthii. at tended by a lr*avy drop In pro duction. much of the fain piled up by the quantity producers would be wiped away.
