SIX PAGES. I t NEW SHORT ROAD THROUGH CAMDEN COUNTY IS URGED lloute From Shiloli Across Indian Ir-luiul to UukI Swamp l{?a<l in Currituck County 1? Suggested BIG CUT IN DISTANCE Would Nip 32 Mile? Off Round Trip Between Elizabeth City and Lower Currituck, Is Claim A net saving at 32 mtles in the round trip distance between Ellx-| Jabeth City and lower Currituck, [to be effect I'd by building lew: Ihan four mile? of new road, is rialiiu d by advocates of a pro posed new short route from Shlloh j east ward ly to tbo State highway I bisecting the Currituck peninsula. I j The road would terminate at the| I potni where the I?aurei Swamp! road from Nnrrow Shore and l?op-: liar nranch joins the State high way, about six miles south of Coin Jock. The present distance from the ' |end of the I^aurei Swamp road to' Uliaabeth City, via Currituck jcourthouso, is given as 34 mile? The other route totals a little un d*r 18 miles, ns measured on Government maps issued by tile Department t.f Commerce. Hence, the saving would be IB miles, or double that on a round trip. liy crossing Indian Island, on I the Camden ?Ido of North River, the construction of the road would be mod?- f.?r easier, It Is stated, nloce there would only be a rela-1 tlvely short stretch of swamp to i be traversed. Indian Island is; high land, inhabited by severalj families, and Is declared to have | a road running to a point within a quarter of a mile of North Rlv- I er. A road from there to Shlloh has been built already. Few Mile? of Nrw Ro?<l _Hene:\ the only new road to be constructed would be that quarter! of a mile on the Camden side olj North River, and not quite three i 'jfles on the Currituck side, j forth River narrows sharply at; hat point to k width of about 500 yards. At the start, a ferry wduld be maintained there, with! the idea of constructing a bridge later. A lairing on North River at the; point where the road crosscs would give rarmcrs living in the neighborhood on both sides of the j river badly needed facilities fori ablpping their potatoes and other1 commodities conveniently. It is: forecast also that the construction j Of such a road would tend to bring many more sportsmen from { the North, who would spend their i flights in Elizabeth City, and mo-1 tor back and forth during the i ducking season on Currituck Bound. Not far from the point of Its boginning at Shlloh, the preventi road to Indian Island intersects j the road from Old Trap to Indian-; town. A through route from Cur rituck to Elizabeth City thus would handle additional traffic! from these communities, it is be-j lieved. It would tend also to de velop a popular aummer resort on| Narrow Shore, which O. F. Gil bert, Elizabeth City merchant, de clares is not eclipsed In natural Hetuty by any spot he saw on a rtecent trip to Florida. Advocates of the Indian Island road explain that It would be n| logical route for adoption by the State Highway Commission In ILi county seat to county seat pro-i grain, since it would constitute the ?bortent theoretical route between ??ten and Elisabeth City. The| _.Jent State highway through) the Currituck peninsula Is regard ed as connecting Manteo and Cur Ruck Courthouse.

S. Seymour, of this county. A black cap was lying nearby, the officer Heated, adding that the remains apparently were those of a white i man about 5 feet 9 Inches lu height, wearing a pair of work shoes, size 7 or 8. In a lonely spot some distance from the road, the skeleton was discovered by Dewey Tlsdale. a ? resident of the neighborhood. 1 while on a trapping expedition. Its condition Indicated that the body had lain there for at least 12 months. Mr. Seymour stated, ex- , plaining that he viewed it late yesterday afternoon. No marks of identification were-found, the on-' ly object diacovered In the pockets being a tobacco tag. BACK OF IT ALL IS RIGHT SPIRIT Says Senator William^, Talking Before ltotary Club Friday "flack of the need of new Indus- ! tries.* new schools, new enterpria- | es and a new community spirit i felt by every municipality." said State Senator P. H. Williams. ] speaker of the day on (he Rotary program at.Its weekly luncheon at ! the Southern Hotel Friday, Is the j need for new men. men whose ' minds have been reborn by a vl- I sion of service. "Man Is naturally a selfish be ing. In his childhood of the race every man looked out for himself and for his Immediate household. And It Is still true of the Individ ual that In Infancy he thinks o%l? . of himself, his own wants, his own needs, hla own hurts. There are some men who In after life never get beyond that ?one. With them as long as they live It's me and my son John and his wife, us four and no more. "But In the normal process of education of the' race and of the Individual each psssesi out of the selfish zone Into j the zone of cooperation, learning that by a division of** labor and a i union of effort a body of men 1 working together can accomplish more than the same number work- 1 Ing separately. "And yet the co-operative zone | does not represent the ultimate and highest development of the In dividual and his community. That I Is reached In the sacrificial zone, i where a man becomes willing to sacrifice his own Individual Inter ests to the common good, having ! heard the call of that Master of { Men who said "The Son of Man came not into the World to be - ministered unto but to minister." I "When our newspapers, our In dustries. our banks, and our oth er business enterprises are con ducted on this plane we shall have established an Ideal community where the churches, the schools, the newspapers, the factories, the stores and the local government , will be the best that can be found I anywhere on earth." The program, put on by Ro tarlan Isaiah Fearing, In addition [ to the well received speech of Sen ator Williams, was featursd by a ifiolln solo by Bobby Fearing, which waa enthusiastically en cored. Rotarian Frank Scattergood. In competition with John Bray and Walter Ryan, won the prize In n standing on one foot contust. that provoked much merriment.

Strange Weakness Of Cowls Aired In Court Session More or less expert testimony on the value of a cow that has ac quired a predilection for her own product was given at a hearing In recorder's court Saturday In which Otis Sanders, young farmer living in the Four Forks section of low er Pasquotank, was bound over to Superior Court on a charge o^f ob taining a cow and 950 from 8. Ganderson. local merchant, under false pretence. The (Sandersons. father and son. testified to a transaction whereby they exchanged a "dry" cow and $50 In cash for a hand some apacimen of the bovine fam ily which they claimed was repre sented to them to be a good milk er. Their acquisition, however, failed to pan out as they had ex pected. they declared. Instead of giving 4 1-2 to ? gallons of milk a day. they said, the cow only came across with a few quarts; and didn't do even that well ex cept when she was tied up In auch a way as to keep her from regal ing herself on what otherwise would have accrued to the CJan derson family. Questioned Insistently as to whether he knew the cow was a "self sucker," the defendant ap peared uncomfortable and Inclined to be evasive on the witness stand. He said he had never seen her suck herself, and when asked If he didn't think she did, replied that be ' didn't know a man was ex pected to think in court." C. C. Pappendirk, long exper ienced In the handling of cows, de clared on the stand that he had nn idea of purchasing the artimal lu controversy, but that Sanders had warned him of her alleged falling, and he hadn't bought her. He said he didn't care about owning a cow so inclined, having been unable to discover a satisfactory way of breaking one of the practice. The defendant's bond was fixed at 1300 by County Judge Sawyer, and was signed by the former s father. Abner Sanders. Robert Lowry appeared as counsel for the defense, and C. K. Ralley assisted Prosecuting Attorney J. H. Lelloy. Jr.. for the State. DARROW BREAKS INTO PRINT AGAIN (CcmMkt im TM Chicago. Jan. 23.?Clarence Harrow I* breaking out Into print again.

Police are inveeti Igating it witii a view to a pen slbie early arrest. No u?w* ?f Ihej1 ! whereabouts of Dr. Comb's car. had been received hore up to Sat-1 urday morning. .. j I Many individuals have ae idea that If they remove the switch i key when they park n car. it 's' safe, or reasonably ao. This is; disproved utterly by the export-, ,ence of most recent victims of ; automobile thievea. Chief Holmes declares. "Almost every car stol en here In the last two months 1 had no switch kry In It." he states, adding, that the experience of the ! police Indicates that the theft-of an automobile with the key In It :la the xceptlon, rather than the rule. Police are Inclined to think ; that moat of the recent autoini-i bill thefts have been perpetrated ' by youngsters ? boya in their ! teens, oi early twentlea. Observ j era here are inclined to ascribe a | | measure of blame to leniency shown some offenders In the past, largely on account of their youth, taking the view that one bo/, learning that another who baa stolen a car has escaped with light punishment or nono at all. will, figure naturally that he will com-* | in for the same gentle considera tion. f The experience of police here and In other cltlea has shown that at least 90 pr<r cent of all auto-i mobile thleverlea fall within the classification of temporary lar-1 ceny. The thief takaa the car, j not with the Idea or keeping !t.' but merely for a Joy ride. H-* leaves It on a lonely road or an ' obscure aide street, and often when the car Is found, It Is In a damaged condition. In one fairly recent Instance, an automnbib-1 found after having been thus abandoned was badly burned, leading police here to the conclu sion that the "borrower" had aet It afire before leaving It.

I U Central Hotel Body Defers Action To Session Tuesday A meeting of the central hotel j committee scheduled for Friday night for action on the propositi to erect a thoroughly modern hos telry here was postponed to Tues day on account of an oyster roast given at the Elizabeth City Cotin- , try Club. Members of the com mittee met in Informal fashion Friday afternoon, however, and after a discussion of the general situation, adjourned with n view to definite action Tuesday. * The deliberate fashion In which the central hotel committee Is proceeding with Its plftns Is prompted, members say. by a de sire to go over the situation thor oughly before definite steps are taken. In order that, once the campaign to build a hotel Is launched. It may go over smoothly and with every assurance of suc cess. This assurance Is growing every day. it Is declared, and event? have reached the point where construction of a hotel ap pears to be a certainty. To what extent the general public will be divided to take stock In the enter prise Is not yet apparent. About 100 persons were present at the oyster roast at the Country Club Friday night. The event went across in altogether pleasing fashion, members stated Saturday, adding that many of those attend ing had expressed themselves as keenly anticipant of the next so cial function of the kind to be giv en there. An entertainment of tome sort at least once a month is i contemplated by the committee in Charge of the social end of the club's affairs. FIVE KILLED AND ELEVEN MISSING IN HOTEL FLAMES Allentown.
