a series <?f interviews With a doz

stated that Saturday was a good

All reported larger than usual
Saturday sale*.
"My business was more than |
double that of the Saturday be
froe," said one. "I sold four times ;

I have in any single day since the

' Huslness was Ane Saturday."
said another. "Very good." was1
the description of the day's trade
* given by five others. Thus It went
; all along the line. Ther#? was an 1

Testimony was forthcoming
from several sources that the new ,
I Acorn Hill Itoad Is bringing subij
stantlal new business to Klltabeth
J City, and that it would bring still
more In the months ahead. One
merchant reported that his first

Another stated that a customer

office with the announcement
that It was time to l**ue the fall

Another reason benlde* the cool
weather why everybody will wunt
to be all dreaaed up next week in
new fall toggery Is that there
will be *omewhere to go. The Al
bemarle Fair will be on. and with
the bringing of Kllxalieth City
next door to Cafe* County by the
Acorn Mill road, there will be rea
son to expect added thou*amlM
from that county and hundred*
from Hertford County aw well to
be here for the event. Then,
again, there Is a paved road ull
the way from Kllxabeth City to
Kdenton. and that fact should
help to *well the attendance at the
Albemarle's one district fair. Fin
ally. the road from Klltbltll CltJ
to Point Harbor In Currituck wa*
perhaps never quite so good an It
I* today. Next week people from
all the*e road* nhould be here for
the Fair. Thl* week they are ex
pected here to get ready for the
event. Hence the Fall Fa*hlon
Number of The Dally Advance.
The cotton crop this year will
be one-third to one-half shorter
than usual. according to farmer*.
In varlou* part* of the County*,
the bulk of the estimates ranging
around the latter figure How i
ever, despite *he ahortage. the
proapect now Is that the farmer*
will receive a substantial return
from the crop, because the price
Is relatively high. Buyer* In
F.I lis bet h City today are paying
eight cents a pound In the seed
In th* Weekwvllle aectlon. and
elsewhsre. the general Impression
is that the flr*t picking* will >li

i Deficit Worries
Road Committee
Looming like a spectre as inev

deficit in the funds to meet the
j cost of Ihe recent Acorn lllll lload
j celebration, which wan enjoyed by
many thousands The finance
' commit tec. whose lask al l?e?t was
an onerous one. graced by few
Ihaiiks, Is Hpeuflhug many uneasy
hours over the situation. In which
It Is manifest already lhat Ihe
' Mils will exceed the funds In
hand by fino or more
| Recently the committee, which
I? headed by (J. It. Little, set forth
the situation In a published ar
ticle asking that all who held bills
I present them at once to Mr. Llt
I tie. at the Carolina Hanking A
Trust Company, and augmenting
i that any individual contributions
< toward wiping out the deficit
i would not be unacceptable.
' Mr Little reports that a few
! additional bills have come In since
publication of the article; but not
a ?Ingle cash donation. He adds,
however, that several contributors
have come to him and staled that
they were willing to Increase their
gifts by whatever sum wan appor
tioned them as their rightful j*haro
of the burden.
The committee, however. Is re
luctant to go to those who have
given already, members stale. In
view of Ihe fact that a number of
business concerns thus far have
given not a red rent toward the
.celebration although they have
benefitted by It a? much In many
Instances, more than others who
contributed Mr. Little atlll Is
hopful that voluntary contribu
tions may wipe out the deficit. He
a*ks lhat these be turned over to
him si Ihe hank, and promises
thai those contributing will be
given due credit.
Those In cKarge of the celebra
tion are exceedingly anxious lo
psy up the bills at once, and wipe
the slate clean.
