Elizabeth City Small Boys Are Playing Out of Luck
Elizabeth City small boys are playing out of luck these days. The latest victim of a nearly fatal accident is Earl Dean, 11-year-old son of Mrs. Catherine Greenleaf Dean of this city. Young Dean fell 30 feet from the top of a pecan tree on the courthouse grounds Tuesday afternoon. His fall was checked somewhat by his striking lower limbs of the tree before hitting the ground. He is expected to recover without broken bones, but has suffered much pain from internal shock.

Man In Portugal Wants a Farm Here
The Carolina Real Estate Agency, Mrs. Wm. Boettcher secretary and treasurer, has found a prospective customer for Currituck farm lands in far-away Portugal. This enterprising Elizabeth City concern, founded by a woman and managed by a woman, has taken options on a number of the most valuable agricutlral properties in Northeastern North Carolina and is gunning for big game. The Elmer M. Walker farmnear Currituck C.H., is one of the pieces of property that has caught the eye of an American now resident in the city of Lisboa, Portuga. He saw the farm advertised in the New York Times and wrote for a photo and full particulars about the place and for a copy of Elizabeth City’s leading newspaper. Mrs. Boettcher has sent him the information wanted and mailed him a copy of The Independent.

Found Death in 19 Quarts Corn Liquor
In the death of Tom Poyner at Barco, Currituck County, last week, prohibitions find more material for propaganda purposes. Poyner, a young white man, died after drinking corn liquor. His neighbors say he made five gallons and drank 19 quarts of it. The puzzling thing is, how could a man live to consume so much as 19 quarts of new corn liquor?
