VOL. XVI. FINAL EDITION. ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, .MONDAY KVKNINC. Ai d ST SIX' PACKS. NO. 180 Aged Man Is Killed On Old Weeksville Road by Hit and Run Motorist Body of William II. Kllis, Well Known ill This ut 10:30 o'clock. The body was cold, and evidently had been lying there for several hours. Tracks near at hand dis-' closed where an automobile had run out oMhe wheel rutsj and evidently had come up behind Mr. Ellis and struck him down. There were splotches of blood nearby, and across the road to the point' where the body lay, face up,' were marks indicating that! Mr. Ellis had been dragged to the opposite side of the high way. The supposition Is that Mr. Ki lls became entangled under the car when he whk run into, and that the driver dragged him out. placed lilni at the roadside, and drovo away. Sheriff Charles Carmine and Dr. 1. Fearing, city coroner, were notified Immediately by telephone, and hastened to Weeksvlile. On the way. Mr. Carmine met an automobile bearing no lights 01 license, and upon investigation found that it contained liquor al so. He arretted Saui Brown, col ored, driver of the car, and brought him to Jail here. Brown, who lives near Weeksvlile, bcais a reputation for bootlegging. L Upon arriving at Old Weeka | vllle, Mr. Carmine was Informed , that Mr. Kllln had left the stores there at about 8 o'clock, on his i way to the home of R. H. Palmer, ! where he Intended to spend the. \ night. Previously lie had spent U rsveral days as the guest of F. P. H mrkharu. Sr.. who lives about ^Wftrt-e miles south of Old Weeks p TUle. Shortly after Mr. Ellis left ' the stores, a car Is suld to have K left also, headed in the same di rection a car bearing no lights. Efforts to Icaru the Identity of the driver have met with no suc cess thus far. Mr. Carmine was ?truck with the fact that the ne gro. Drown, bad been driving a car with no lights, although Brown bad been arrested on the Weeksvlile Highway, whereas the killing of Mr. Ellin had occurred on what is known aa the Gallber ry Roird, running from Old Weoksvllh to Elizabeth City by ? different direction. An examination of Mr. Ellis's body revealed that t ii ? ? skull had; been crushed, and death probably had been almost Instantaneous , when he was run Into. From the fact that the ear which struck him down had left the wheel track, tbe Investigators are inclined to believe thai the driver failed to observe Mr. Ellis until too I a t ?? t<> avoid running Into him. It is in this connection that the sheriff is Inclined to put much weight on the departure of th<- 1 i 1 1 1 1 ? - ? s ear stirtrtTy after Mr. Ellis left Old Weeksvlile. During recent years, Mr. Ellis bad been living on a email farm at Norvirw, near Norfolk, and for merly he was employed as a flaK-j man at the (Jranvllle street cross- i Ing of the Norfolk Southern Hall- 1 road, In Brambleton. a suburb of Norfolk. He was a native <>r Pas-, jhiotauk County, and had f- j.< nt mid eh 1 1 rni' here, b? Ing well known. ^Boson. J. h. Ellis, and a daugh-j Vir, Mm. Sadie Easou. both of TJorfolk, survive him. F. H. Ziegler, undertaker, l< ft i una morning at 10 o'clock for Old Weeksvlile to take the body in rhame. Funeral arrange-: ments were deferred pending the arrival of the son and daughter' from Norfolk. The body was discovered first by David Overton, colored, who Hve? a few miles from old Weeks vllle. while he was on the way there with a mule and cart. Th ? mule became frightened, and up- j on alighting to invcstlgato. Over- 1 ton discovered the body. Terrified, be made all possible haste to Old I Weeksvlile. Just after he left the | spot, persons returning from an entertainment at Weeksvlile High f School jllscovered It also. twenty-eight ake II I FROM POISONING I Chicago. Auk. 2.

Cum tnitiH carried to hi* death as the unfors;ivablo reproach bestowed on him hy the people of Iowa af , ler 23 years of public service. | It represented no personal feel ing toward Colonel Brook hart hut a deep disappointment thai as he ll ween meritorious public service, along 1 1 lx*ra I . conservative and ex perimnntallam .lines, the voter* of the stale should sudd*'iil> reject experience and choose a newcom er of radical thought. Few men ran understand poli tical defeat it they have been laithful and loyal servants of ?their constituencies. They do net see the turn of the tide in oppo site directions. Mr. Cumniliis was warned that ? his state was growing radical on the subjeel of farm relief. He ' veered lo the economics of I lie | corn belt organisers slowly, but I too late, and there were some who .questioned even hi* eleventh hour l*witch lo the McNary-Haugen bill. It was a sincere effort, how ever, to understand his constitu ency and there is little doubt that the more he studied he subject ! t ho more convinced he became that the primary election which sent him to hi* defeat wan symp tomatic of even more extensive political revolt against eastern Re publicanism. Senator Cummins had no Ink ling of death nor did he have any of going Into complete retirement. Only a few day* ago this corres pondent received a letter from his secretary discussing his plaiiH i to write a biography. I'nder date ? of July 23, Senator Cummins wrote: "The whole subject I* somo I what chaotic or at leaat undefined. I I have for a long time had In i mind to write a narrative of my j life; but, until rocently 1 had not thought seriously of writing any thing in the nature of a history of I my political experience*. I have | been urged to do It, but I am I somewhat appalled when I think of the character of the undertak ing.

I Intend, shortly, ! to begin writing upon what I call :the flr*t 25 yoar* of my life, be ing the period of preparation and I the second 25 year* in which I de ? voted myself almost exclusively to my profession.
