VIRGINIA DARE \ HIGHWAY ONCE INDIAN TRAIL Name Will Receive Official Recognition If P|a?? of Highway Enthusi fiats Bear Fruit PASSES OLD FOKT State Highway Sector to ?ear Historic Name Leads From Edenton Through , Currituck to Wanchese A road following a trail prob ?o iy as old as the Indian occu jwcr of the Eastern seaboard of the United States Is to receive of ficial recognition from the next , General Assembly. If plans of lo f J*1 highway enthusiasts bear Jhey Pr?P0"<' naming ?t the State highway from Eden ton through Hertford and Eliza beth City, past Currituck Court house to the southerly tip of the Carrluck peninsula, and thence down Roanoke Island to Wan wtk**' a8 the v,rf,n,a Dare Hl?h Students of history point out that the road follows the trail of tha Indians from the interior, on their way to the furthermost poin on the mainland, there to meet brother Indians who had come by canoe from Roanoke Is land and elsewhere in the coaat country, to exchange the salt, grain and othe^ products of the hplfds for the fish, oysters, and brfciiantly colored shells of the aeashore. In the choice of the name, it Is pointed out. that flrat. tragic ?ripping chapter ?n the English aettlement of the New World would be perpetuated. The mem ory of the first child of English Barents, lost mysteriously in the wilderness where she first saw light of day, would be kept greeu for future generations. Under the appellation of the Virginia Dare Highway would be embraced the 50 miles of concrete highway from Edenton to Currl ?tack, the improved gravel road running iomo 30 miles down the Currituck peninsula, and from the tip of Currituck at Point Har bor, two alternative routes Into and across Roanoke Island, i y Both of the latter routes con ?-/ nact by ferry with the mainland at Point Harbor. One runB along the Carolina Banks, through Kit ty Hawk and close by Kill Devil Hill, where the Wright "brothers conducted their epoch making ex periments in flying. From the re port of Nags Head, this route con hafts with Roanoke Island by a aacond ferry. The road Is unim proved. however, and will com mend itself only to those ardent tons who are prepared to brave difficulties in motor travel. There Is much deep sand to be dealt With. The other roule is by ferry to the tip of the State highway which bisects Roanoke Island, passing through Manteo, the county seat, and terminating at Wanchese. at the southern end of the Island. As Is the case with other State roads, this one Is kept In excel lent condition, and offers no dif ficulties to motorists. Incidentally, this latter route passes close by the spot where ftood Old Tort Raleigh, where the little Virginia Dare was born, and whence she and the others left behind by Governor John White ^|n 1687 passed Into the portals of Kthe Unknown, leaving a mystery V which thus far has proved as un ?olvablo as the famed riddle of tha Sphinx, and which has In trigued students of history for more than three centuries. ? It la expected that the next General Assembly will be asked to give Its official sanction to the name of Vlrg(?ila Dare for this, the principal highway of the Al bemarle District. The highway will assume a new Importance next spring, with the completion of the HOO.OOO Chowan Bridge at Edenton. connecting It with the remalndor of the State, and open ln* for tourists a new and re markable scenic and historical route through North Carolina's oldeat counties. STATE COMPLETES McDERMOTT CASE Canton. O., Dec. 18. ? The etatej today completed It* presentation | of direct testimony In the trial of Patrick Eugene McDermott, charged with murder of Don H. Mellett. Canton publisher. The fefense motion to hare stricken K from the record ell reference tft Ben Rudner and I?ula Mnzor al-j leged conspirators with McDer mott, waa overruled Thf defense claimed that the atata failed to ahoW conspiracy. Clinton A. Koontr, employe In Rudner'a hardware store In Maeelllon, flrat i defenae wltnesn. teatlfted that he, never aaw McDermott In the atore : and did not know him He also' denied that H A. Lengel, deposed Canton police chief, had erar been ! tn the atore. State wltneaaea had testified that I^ngel came Into the stofe several tlmea prior to' the murder and talked with Rud-j ?er. Christinas Shoppers Find Unusually Pleasing Range Of Holiday Goods in City Stores More ittraclive Than Ever Before; Many I isitors ] from dates and Even From Tidewater I ir ginia Cities Purchasing Gifts Here As a convenience to holiday , ?hoppers, stores In Elizabeth City; * ill be open uigats until Christ 1 man. it was announced today. A ; | scattering of the merchants have been keeping open these last few 'night, but the majority, feeling | that ample time will be allowed i the public by beginning Monday night, had deferred It to then. The stores here are presenting ' the most attractive appearance J this Christmas time In the history of the city. Greatly increased at tention has been paid to window dressing and arrangement of stocks, and everywhere one Is greeted with evidences of real artistry In that line. The mer chandise offered, too. Is excep tionally attractive. Visitors to the city these last few days have commented In most complimentary fashion on the stores, drawing comparisons with other cities of similar size In this district, and even much larger 1 ones, that are highly favorable to Elizabeth City. Merchants here are noting with Interest and pleasure that more and more Gates County people are shopping here now, Elizabeth City i having been made readily accessi ble to them through construction | of the Acorn Hill Road across the Great Dismal Swamp. This ef ' fected a saving of 60 miles in the 'highway distance between Gates and Elizabeth CKy. The city was thronged Satur-j day with holiday shoppers, loan before noon, with the crowds In creasing steadily as the afternoon wore along- The problem of providing parking space In the downtown district had been re duced materially by a general re-, sponse to a suggestion that all j merchants and salesfolk either walk to work during the Christ mas rush, or park their cars on side streets, ho as to make avail-, able to visitors the bulk of the parking area in the business sec tion. Attracted by the friendliness i and courtesy of the merchants here, the variety and attractive ness of the Christmas goods dls- ; played, and by the pleasure of a jaunt over a paved highway re- , cently completed via South Mills; and Portsmouth, except f^r a two and one-half mile stretch of sand clay road that never lias offered difficulties to motorists, mer chants here report a surprising number of Christmas shoppers from Norfolk and other Tidewa ter Virginia cities. Thus, while some Elizabeth City folks go to the Hampton Roads cities to do a part of their holiday <buying. the more optimis tic merchants here are beginning to think that the business thus lost to them Is largely offset by the trade that is coming this way from Virginia. Smouldering Anger Over New Road Aired Here Hssentmsnt on the part of sev eral residents of Frog Island, a remote community In the 8ound Neck district of lower Pasquo tank County, orer the opening-up of what formerly was a private road, resulted in the appearance of Tom Cartwright, of that sec tion, in recorder's court Saturday on ?a charge of trespass. The case was dismissed after a long drawn hearing of testimony. J. H. Tillett, a neighbor of Cartwrlght's was the prosecuting witness. He -testified that Cart-, wrlght and cut treeB close to the road In preparation for grading and opening It up as a public thoroughfure, the trees being on land that he (Tillett) had rentod from Carl Bright, also of Sound Neck, and had dropped the trees across a cart path that he used in hauling hay from his field. This led to ill feeling, added to smouldering resentment on tho part of Tillett and others over the opening of the road, and the con-i sequent removal of a gate, neces sitating that residents of Frog It land cease letting their stock run at large in the enclosure. Last! Thursday, a week ago. Tillett tea- 1 tif led. he ha dan altercation with ! Cartwright, and knocked him down. Later. he said. In defi ance to his orders. Cartwright had crossed Ills property. It was upon that that the charge of trespass was based. ft was brought out that Cart wright had brought no counter charge of assault against Tillett. and In view of that and the other circumstances In the case, Trial Justice Sawyer found the defen dant not guilty, though technical ly having violated the law against trespass. Langley Is Paroled After Year's Time Washington, Dec. 18. ? John W Langley. former Congressman from Kentucky, was paroled today after serving one year of the three year sentence Imposed on his conviction of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. He was paroled by the Department of Justice on recommendation of the parole board. 4 TRA\HI?LANTINO OAKH As a means of beautifying the lot on Church street on which he Intends to build his new home next summer.

He was up in recorder's court Satur day morning on a charge of hav ing disturbed the colored school in his community while it was in session, temporarily disrupting class work. The evidence was that Jones small son had been absent from school, and the teacher had roport | ed the fact to the welfare officer, with the result that Jones was re minded of the advisability of com plying with the -provisions of the State Compulsory Attendance Act. He resented It. and expressed to the teacher In no uncertain terms, j Some of the school children i had giggled, and he had cast a superheated remark or two in' their direction before leaving. j Jones was fined 910 and costs.. Freeman Hassell, also colored. | charged with possession of liquor ? for purposes of sale, was sen tenced to four months on the roads. He apnealed, and was put under $300 bond for his appear j ance at the March term of Suiper I lor Court here. His arrest fol I lowed a raid by Police Chief t .Holmes and Officer Ander- 1 ' son on his home on Factory street i Friday night.

Hill, chairman of th< hoard of the directors of the Pat* quotank Children's Home, called Wednesday and informed Th* Daily Advance that the hoard has dropped the name. "Anna Lewla Home." and the institution la again called the Children's HomeJ Official action was taken td' this effect at the request of Mrs. Lewis, says Mr. Hill, several months ago. The Advance had never been notified of this change of name and had continued to call It the Anna Lewis Home. The Children's Home was the first name used, but when Mrs. Lewis gave up her position as Welfare Officer of PasquotaJik .County, the home wa? named for (her because she had seen the vi sion of such an Institution and had succeeded In making others seeing It until the dream became a reality. This matter now being cleared up.

New Way Parking Begins First of January A lone pioneer. biasing the trail for others to follow, parked last night In the newly laid out space for pasalve ears Iq the block on (Cast Main street, be tween McMorine and Polndexter. Motorists weren't expected to park In the central space between the bright yellow lines until after the Arst of the month; but he wan Quite oblivious to that. Attracted somewhat after the fashion of the moth and the can dle. that motorist, owner of n Ford sedan, obviously Just couldn't resist the lure of tbone flamboyant yellow markings. He put his car there and left It. con tent in the sense of duty well done. The foregoing Is by wsy of re minder to Ellxabeth City folks and others who visit here that the new parking arrangement doe* not become effective until th" first day of January. 1927. Un til then, motorists should leave their llxxles and limounlnes on the south side ?>f the street, as here tofore. <V>TTO.V MAKKKT New York. f>ec. 1 ft - 4tpot rot ton closed steady, middling 12.70. an advance of 16 points.

Demo crats who deplore the thought of, ! another Smlth-McAdoo feud In the next national convention are i seriously trying even this early In i ? He game to settle upon some sat isfactory "Intermediate" candi date. By intermediate they mean j some one not so wet as Governor 'Smith and not so dry as Mr. Mc Adoo. Furthermore, they mean some one not bo identified with the far east as Governor Smith and not ao remote from possible Democratic strongholds as Mr. McAdoo. Geographically, of course. Gov ernor Smith has a decided advan tage over his traditional opponent from the Pacific slope. It Is very generally conceded that Gov ernor Smith might carry New York State as Democratic candi date for the Presidency. There Is no thought that California ever will vote Democratic in a Na tional election again. Something slipped out there In 1926 when Mr Hughes was defeated, hut Cal ifornia ordinarily Is counted just about as safe for Republicanism jas Pennsylvania, or the old Cool ldge commonwealth, of Vermont. I>emocrats with the Intermed iate frame of mind are leaning I more and more toward the possl ' billtiea of one James A. Reed, of Missouri. This gentleman has ?bulked rather large "In the public jmlnd the last several years and [more recently he has been the he ?Yo In a series of election Investi gations which promise to come In j for a great deal of discussion be 'tween the present lime and the date in July 1928 that a Presi dential candidate Is named by the 'Democratic party. Mr. Reed la by way of being a Senator from the grand old state of Missouri ? a rather strategic point, considering all the circum stances that must be considered in connection with the next cam paign. Missouri has Just shown a very flourishing return to De ! mocracy. It always Is lo he ex pected thai "Jim" Reed will be re turned ro his seat In Washington every time he runs but this year the state went Democratic In an "off" year ? meaning a year "in which Jim Reed did no running." Geographically Senator Reed has a Utile something on both Governor Smith and Mr. McAdoo. llo is from the great middle coun try which Just now is calling so loudly for recognition. He Ib from a state which easily can bo swung Into Democratic column and he Is distinctly a man of the people. He has even been called an "honest and rugged" type, and these are essential equalities In the public mind. Fasten "honest and rugged" to a politician Hnd he Is In for a long siring of suc rrsses. In Senator Reed s case It must be admitted that both adjec tives have a very fine application. He la honest not only in the or dinary acceptance of that worthy term, but he Is honest In the up standing expression of his views and 1n maintaining a position once taken, few of hla colleagues In either branch of .the national leg itlature can ? ompare with him on this scofe. Perhaps "Jim" Reed li a little too honent In his state ments of facts and opinion. Per haps the country would like inme one a llt|le more "pussy-footy." It I* the commoner way of modern politic*. But Senator Iteed can't "pussy foot." You have got to take him or leave him Ju*t as he Is, and he never leaves yon In doubt on any Issue. The Senator from Mis souri Is frankly wet." He 1s a wet every time there Is a prohi bition debate In the Senate and wet when the votes are taken. He smiles grimly, hot tolerantly at some of his brother-Sena tAra who caat their ballots Inevitably dry Kvery man. he fee|g. is entitled to his own code of morals. It Is a strange thing, however that Senator Reed t? not anathe ma to the dry I'-rhaps. after all they admire Ms "r ittged honesty" ?ind dlrectne The "drya" of Missouri like honesty of opinion Thousands of thorn voted for the new Senator.

The military coup in Lithuania appears to have been carried out hloodlessly, al though one report through War saw says there was fighting near Kovno where one regiment re mained loyal to the government.
