Mr. Hunt obviously dls earns much romance in this .* t part of the South which hides Iteelf from most of the folks living here, largely by reason of Its very nearness. He writes vividly, and his ac count of a trip through this section holds more than usual Interest, evon for the reader ^ to whom the facts set forth are as a familiar face. On reaching Norfolk, we took | the train for Elizabeth City. North Carolina, a ride of 50 miles over level country, flat as the flattest prairie. The Great Dismal Swamp, ker?, arrests the attention by two features?Its Impregnability and the awamp cana'i surveyed by Washington in 1785. Cither of theso would swamp .the writer who attempts u full description In a newspaper article. But the canal may first have a | glimpse. It has been purchased by the Government. Incidentally I saw the pen used by President > Coolldge last March when ho I signed the bill for the purchase ' The pen !? with the Elizabeth City (^Chamber of Commerce. The width of the canal at the bottom Is 50 feet and at the surface Is 90 feet. It waa not opened for traffic until 1820, and has been In operation most of the time since. The original canal helped make much history In the Civil War, and. In possession of the Govern ment. its possibilities sre great. It connect h with the Elizabeth Riv er?thence easily with the coast. Ohio and Indiana farmers have bought land here and report a re markable fertility, and the value In the drained districts is $150 to $200 per acre. Most of this land la $2 feet above tidewater, prov inc that the whole swamp region may be drained successfully. Interminable DifficultIc* The Great Dismal Swamp.

Interminable dif ficulties have been In the way of thin road construction. Great cy preas tre?*s In corduroy fashion have been burled under some eight feet of aoll. overlayed with clay. Which In due time will receive a coat of cement. On reaching Elizabeth City, we found preparation In evidence for the celebration of the feat of building a highway through this mighty moraas. In this, the group of countlea lylnsc In the northeast corner of the Old North State were to take part. The hearty congratulations of these counties -pro and con and k ?verywhere were given expres sion In the speeches, music and :? free barbecue In the court yard to i more than ?.000 participants. Who says the Old North State Is not coming to the front! The region of the old swamp bas ever been auggostlve. It baa many stories to tell. One of them Is of Horsce Greeley's Investment here In the adjustment of mat ters after the Civil War. Mr | Oreeley became acquainted with BfaUehell Taylor, a busy worker in 1 bringing confusion to order here, j And Oreeley. Interested In the wel fare of the negroes, wrote Tsylor to purchase l,000 acre? of land | cheaply which, he. Greeley, would , sell to the blacks on very liberal terms to them in founding homes.

SOLD TO REALTY DEALERS IN CITY Gallop & Sawyer Beeomr Owner* of Valuable Proj> erty in Heart of Down town Bunine** District CLOSING BID ?77,300 j bft .Minute Itaiee in Figure Fail* to Materialize; Im portant Development in Early Prospect Negotiations (or the sale of the property of the late D. B. Brad ford. on Kast Main street, between McMorrlne and Poindexter, were completed Wednesday morning, on the heels of an announcement by Clerk of the Court E. L. Sawyer, who conducted the sale, that the bid of Gallop ? Sawyer, local real estate dealers, had not been raised. The 20-day period In which the figure might have been boosted closed Tuesday night? The final sale price of the prop erty was $77.300. and the transac tion finally was closed with the drawing up of papers confirming the sale and effecting the transfer of the tract. Thus closes a series of negotiations which have ex pended over a period of more than two months, and thus definitely is settled the moot question as to who would finally acquire the property. j The history of these negotia tions is au follows: On July 27. the Bradford prop ! erty was first sold at public auc tion. The successful bidder was Dr. A. L*. Pendleton, banker and wholesale druggist of this city, at $70,500. A period of 20 days wus allowed, in the course of which any one Interested might raise his bid. Before this expired. Gallop i & Sawyer Increased It by the 2 per cent required under the terms i of the sale. A second sale was ordered, and was held September 5. This time, after spirited competition, the {tract went to Gallop & Sawyer at what turned out today to be the final purchase price. $77,300. Per sons closely conversant with real estate values here are of the opin ion that It brought a very good price. Failed to Slum Up As late as 5 o'clock Tuesday af ternoon, there were strong Indlca tlons?In fact, almost amounting to certainty?that the bid would be raised. At that hour, an Eliz abeth City man whose name has i not been disclosed telephoned Clerk of the Court 8awyer that he would be in his office shortly with a check covering the required part of a 10 per cent raise. This pros pective purchaser, however, fallel to put In an appearance, and the sale was duly confirmed the fol lowing day. M. P. Gallop, of the firm of Gal lop A Sawyer, when Interviewed Wednesday, stated that his com pany was not purchasing the prop erty as agent for any outside firm or individual, as had been ru mored, but was buying the tract outright. Hp said he was not pre pared to state Just what would b*> done with the property, but that any development upon It would be "a credit to Elisabeth City." The Impression prevails in busi ness circles here that Gallop fc Sawyer already had arranged to dispose of several parcels of the property. In the event that they became Its owners. It Is known that the First fc Citizens National Bank Is exceedingly anxious to obtain at least a part of the tract, probably with a view to combin ing In a single building, or In ad jacent quarters, the various Insti tutions allied with this bank. It Is regarded as highly probable that the bank already has completed negotiations for a share or the tract, though this Is entirely with out confirmation. Potential Hot?l HHe Also, the fact that Dr. Pendle ton was an Interested bidder when I the property was offered at auc tion Is taken to Indicate that he wishes at least* part of the prop-1 erty. though for what purpose, only the idlest speculation dares1 suggest. Besides his wholesale] drug business. Dr. Pendleton Is president of the Carolina Banking A Trust Company, and the sug gestion has been advanced that the bank Is planning to erect quar- 1 tars of its own in the early future, i The hope la expressed on many sides that the sale of the Bradford property will hasten the erection of a thoroughly modern hotel In Elizabeth City. It Is agreed gen erally that no better site Is avail- j able at present. MITCHELL FLAYS NAVY DEPARTMENT Washington. Sept.
