Glenn Nominated on
the Sixth Ballot
The first ballot was taken
last nipht at 9 o'clock for Gov
ornor. After an all night ses
sion of hard fighting on the
part of the two great forces,
Ulenn was nominated on the
•ixth ballot, at G o'clock this
morning.
The Stedman men in this
county got the inside track on
theGlonn men, and the conven
tion found 14 delegates for
Stedman and 10 for Glenn, but
the Glenn men were fightiDg for
a good cause and finally won
over the Stedmen men, and on
the sixth ballot Martin county
voted solidly for Glenn.
It is a well known fact to the
Alderman of our town that
the mud puddle right in front
of Mrs. Mary Peele's resi
dence is not health bearing.
It certainly is not a beauty
spot on the face of nature that
we dislike to part with, then
we hold that something should
be done.
Our town is growing day by
day. We believe our officers
hare the interests of tho vi
cinity ftt heart, and surely if
we vraut to build up our town
We must first have health pro
ducing and attractive streets.
Foreigners will not think
about settling in a town where
H there are pools of foul stag
nating water.
This pond, or mud puddle,
lias beeu neglected for a year
or more.
"Instead ot handling trading
« stamps, if you place one-fourth
of oue per cent of your sales in
advertising in your local pap
ers you will get better results
.for yourself and help build up
your town." v This is what Mr.
Normau 11. Johnson, attorney
general for the North Carolina
Retail Merchants' Association,
•ays he has advised the mer
chants throught the state.
Some of the merchants here
heard Mr..lohu»on givers ad
vice. But then, you know ad
vice is a hard thing to take.
The Retail Merchants' Asso
ciation is to have a trade jour
nal. That's right. The mer
chants realize that a paper is
necessary to farther their in
terests as an association. Per
haps the time will soon arrive
when the merchants will rea
lise the necessity of using their
local papers more extensively
in order to further their indi
vidual interests.

THE PRIMARY
The Chowan Tlinec, of Nor
thampton county, states that
at the recent county conven
tion somo of the delegates
failed to vote as in the primary
—which elected them —and as
they bad been instructed to
vote, and this fact is being
urged as an argument against
the primary system.
In commenting upon this, the
Uichmond Times-Dispatch has
the following to say :
"On the contrary, it is an
argument in favor of the pri
mary system. The trouble in
Northampton county, as we
understand the situation,is that
the party authorities have
mixed up the primary and the
convention. Thero would have
been no trouble if, instead of
a county convention, to which
tho delegates were elected by
primary, the nominees of the
party had been chosen direct,
by a general oounty primary,
and not through the indirect
method of a convention. We
believe in a direct vote of the
people whenever it is practic
able. When the people vote
directly they use their autho
rity directly instead of delegat
ing it to others "
The reason for the growing
popularity of the legalized pri
mary is that every voter has
the privilege of voting for
whom ho pleasen, instead of
voting for delegates to voto for
whom they please, regardless
of instructions.
Let'i hnvo a primary con
vention throughout the State,
then there will bo no delegates
to violate the trust impoiod in
in thorn.
In speaking of the primary
the Wilmington Messenger
says:
"We look for the Democrat
ic party to adopt the legalized
primary for nominating candi
dates beforo the next general
election. The present campaign
demonstrates its importance to
the Democratic party,

WRITTEN ABOUT WOMEN.
All women are good—good for
something or good for nothing.—
Cervantes.
A curious fact —Satan deprived
Job of everything except bis wife.
—Observer.
A beautiful woman is the only
tyrant man is not authorized to re
sist.—Victor Hugo.
Unhappy is the man to whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable. —Richter.
The best thing I know of is a
first-rate wife. And the next best
thing Is a second rate one.—Josh
Billings.
They say man was created first.
Well, suppose lie was—ain't first
experiences always failures —Amon
A man never so bountifully shows
his own strength as when he re
spects a woman's weakness. —Doug
las Jerrold.
They govern the woild, these
sweet voiced women, because beau
ty and harmony are the index of a
larger fact than wisdom. —O. W.
Holmes.
One can to almost laughable ex
tent, infer what a man's wife is
like from his opinion about women
in gaueral.—A. R. H.
A good book nnd a good woman
are excellent things for those who
know how to appreciate their value
There are men, however, who judge
of both by the beauty of the cover
ing.—Dr. Johnson.

To the Democrats of Martin County
Gentlemen : I have consulted many
Democrat! of this section as to my fitness
to represent this Couaty in the Legisla
ture and the answers have been so en
couraging with enthusiastic offers of tup
port, I have decided to ask the demo
cratic voters of Martin County to consid
er me as an aspirant to this honor.
I am a democrat by Inheritance and by
instinct, and I have long since determin
ed to 4o all within my power for the mor
al, (octal and material upbuilding of the
community which pure democrary stauds
sponsor for.
I have no claims upon any office
in the gift of the people, but if I am
honored with the nomination I shall en
deavor to give the people as efficient ser
vice as my intelligence and training will
allow. If there are other aspirants to this
honor I shall be glad to go before the peo
ple, and on a friendly basis, discuss with
them, before this tribunal, the questions
of the day. Respectfully,
OSCAR EVERETT.

Littleton Female College, an ac
vertisement of which appears el*
where in this paper, has just close
its aand Annual Session which ha:
been in every way the most pros
parous in the history of the insti
tution. With a Faculty of twenty
I two officers and teachers and a wel
equipped and furnished building,
this school is prepared to offer ex
cellent advantages to young ladies
seeking a collegiate education. The
institution has very recently in
stalled at a cost of several thous
and dollars, a new system of plumb
ing and water works, including
bath and toilet rooms, with hot and
cold water on every floor, furnish
ed from a 1 3000 gallon tank and a
steel tower 75 feet high, with
ample pipe around the building and
two inch hose on every floor with
in, for use in case of fire* The
health , record of Littleton College
has been a remarkable one. The
physical condition of the pupil is
looked after with great care; there
la seldom a case of serious sickness
in the building, and during its en
tire career of aa years his had only
one death among its pupils. There
is probably no other school in the
South with so large a patronage
Out has such * record,
•ring* Good Luefc.
He or ihe who enters ■ house for
the first time is supposed in the
Balkan countries to bring in good
or bad luck for the whole tvelve
nionth. This belief jrivea rise to a
curious observance. The visitor to
fore crossing the threshold nicks np
a stone (token of strength) or a
green tvig (emblem of health and
fruitfulneas) and laprt it on the
hearth. He also brings with him
some graina of salt, which he casta
into the flames, and then, squatting
by the fireside, wishes his hosts "a
prosperous rear, a plentiful crop
and many blessings." Then as th«
grains of salt burst and crackle in
the fire he utters the following
quaint formula: "As I am aitting
even so may sit the hen and warm
the eggs. As this salt splits even
so may split the eggs of the cluck
ing hen and the chickena coma
forth."
Ths Silent Englishman.
An Englishman and a German
were traveling together in a dili
gence, and both were smoking. The
German did all in his power to draw
his companion into conversation,
but all to no purpose. At one mo
ment he would, with a superabun
dance of politeness, apologize for
drawing his attention to the fact
that the ash of his cigar had fallen
on his waiitcoul or a spark was en
dangering his neckerchief. At length
the Englishman excluiroed: "Why
the deuce can't you leave me alone?
Your coat tail has been burning for
the last ten minutes, but I didn't
bother you about it!"
Be:ied by the Bishop
Rear Admirul Charles S. CottoL
tells this good story: He sat one
evening ot a dinner party beside
the liisliop of Durham, a clergyman
noted for his wit. Near the bishop
was a millionaire manufacturer, a
stout man with a loud, coarse laugh,
who atu and drank a good deal. 0n«
of this man's iokes was leveled at
the brilliant bishop of Durham,
whom he did not know from Adam.
It was enough for him that the
bishop's garb was clerical.
"I nave throe sons," he began in
a loud tone, nudging his neighbor
nnd winking toward the bishop,
"tlireo fine lads. They are in trade.
I had always said that if I ever had
a stupid son I'd make a parson of
him.
The millionaire roared out hii
discordant lnugh, nnd tho bishop
said to him with a quiet smile:
"Your father thought differently
from vou. eh ?"

A woman is to be hanged soon
in New Jersey unless the governor
shall interfere with the sentence,
and this does not now seem prob
able. No civilized state ought to
ban;; a woman. She can be placed
in confinement with little proba
bility of escape. This woman may
deserve death, according to the
law. but still she is a woman, and
for that reason, if none other, she
ought not to die upon a gallows.—
