'Do yourself no harm, we arc . all here,' at the Stale convention in • Raleigh last Tuesday, but there weic I many Hull supporters who wetv wrong i when they looked upon AI Smith's i strength in the Stqte as a negative - quantity, .The convention was great, and to the eye of the observer it was a dis i grace •to the Democratic party of . North I arolina. M-n whom we had ■ been taught to look upon as leaders .- for democracy and lair play went back i to a'plane with the monkey and caused ■ one to question the advanced stage of > civilization. Those \ybo at the outset pleaded in hifaluting speeches for liar- I mony turned t»» and jeer at those • who were in charge of the couvciiti/ur's , aflairsr The whole thing, with no ex ■ ceptions. was enough to drive the Vet i unconcerned to the ranks of the ke- I publican Party, however dirk and 1 morbid they tuay be. But, alter all, 1 they say it turned out all right, and • vas typical of practically all the party conventions, and was as enjoyable as a leg show is to an old bachelor on the , ball-head row. The seats ran out before the first dis trict's convention was hardly opened, and confusion/Tan all the jway to the end. There were but lew who did not wait for the 'morning papers to see what was done, and aside/roin a few of. the manipulators there will be slill fewer who will ever kr.ow how it was done. The Spots * A. R. Dunning, local attorney, led the Smith forces of the first district to victory when lie caught the veution napping and introduced .i ilW tM'ii that resulted in a-'••split delega tion to the Houston convention l! wri's beginning to loo] .is it -the- >m«th |ilul.. to ipht. lluL_dtkgii.tivU.jmxL .--elect j certain delegates would tall through, lull by conliisivn and tin | ei. lship of the Hull 1.-..tiers, Mr. 1 >un ning's motion went over with the vote t tailing more by l ' than was at tually in the convention. Mm th.it yas all right, tor it looked as if the Hull forces wanted it all, and the Smith forces wanted only half. Our editor, Mr. \V. ('. Manning, fa vored the majority ruU;, however 1 small, and told 'liallct S. Ward that the Smith forces admitted defeat jet Wanted half the vot.s. Hoots from the Smith followers were sent out in volleys, while the Hull delegates ap plauded. And wlien Mr. Dunning's motion was put to a vote several of the strong anti-Smiths were caught oil their guard and while standing talk ing in the rear of the roonf'they w ere , counted as favoring the splitting of the delegated. Several Hull advocates were peeved at the outcome of the. Vote and left the hall; but that,was all right, too, for flip hoot., and jeers con tinued. \lr. R. J. Peel gained the spotlight in making nominations, offering them in flowery terms. The contention is still in ibe dark, however, as to what he w as going to propose one time \yben he got fri his feet and had hardly said 'I move—' before a friend yanked him back into his seat by his coat tail. Hamilton was represented by Messrs. Harry Waldo. DonjJdatthews, Ilaislip and Davenport, and they stuck by their guns and saved half of Martin County for Hull. Its delegates, firm in their ! convictions, remained at their posts un til peace was declared. If the vote oil Mr: Dumiing's motion had been made by roll call and had the delegates from Hamilton not been there, the measure would have been passed easily against Hull. While the Martin-County dele gation was instructed as to how it | should vote for instruction national I delegates, the questions was in the form of a motion and was to be dt cided upon as the delegates, saw fit. * The State Convention The district convention 'lasted through the dinner hour and adjourned with the best o' feelings prevailing just in time for the delegates to hear the latter part of Mr. Brook's keynote address. In the big convention, confusion in creased, and the hall containing the £,OOO or more people was soon as tight and as hot as an oy.en. Mr, Hicks i 4 i.me to the relief of tin sufferers with Ins Capudine fan,s, and the "prelimi naries continued. Some of the speakers wi re heard and some were not. O. Max Gardner made the speech of the hour, which was construed by outuc to be a lick at Senator Simmons and his followers. His metaphor, jhat of £ll eagle mop tally wounded by an arrow guided by a feather from its own wing, well il lustrated the marked division in the party regarding AI Smith's candidacy for the presidential nomination. Clyde Hoey, of Slielby, made prob Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, June 15,1928 t ably the best speech of the cotiven- ( > tieiiT lit which his keynote was party .■ liiiniony.

Superior Court To Convene Monday LARGE NUMBERS ATTEND REVIVAL Attendance on Wednesday Largest of Meeting At Christian Church he revial services started last Sunday night in the Christian church here are being attended each night by large numbers of people. Wed nesday night there was the largest attendance >f the meeting when the house "was packed. I'he text for the Wednesday night Minion was "Thou Art Weighed in the Balance and Found Wanting" the words being written on the wall of Helshazza's banquet hatP late in the night after a feast p( revelry had gone on for a long time, and the drunken guests were staggering around the .dunce hall. The king was badly frightened when the hand without the support of an arm be gan to write the doom of his folly. Daniel who \v.as called to interpret the writing, told the king that the kingdom would be destroyed that night and that his soul would go be fore the righteous "scales of the Supreme Judge. The Thursday night subject was the "lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost boy". Particular stress was laid upon the nature of the boy and girl who nearly always want to follow their own course even thought it leads down to nothing, just as it wtis in the case of the prodigal son. N«t, they will invariably return when they finjl themselves, and then they are willing to arise and return lo the old home where they can find light, and love. This applies to every creature that wanders from the paths of duty and righteousness when he finds he is wrong and ad mits it. There is always a hand to lead him hack and a heart 'to wel come him home, the preached point ed out. Services will be held as usual to morrow night and each night there after until some definite closing dab is decided upon. POINTERS- BEAT GRIMESLAND, 9-7 Avenge Their Defeat at Grimesland Tuesday; Grimes Features (iold Point, Friday.—The Gold Point baseball team today avenged itself oj Tuesday'* to 7 defeat at the hands of Grimesland when the Pointers emerged from the battle to day with the big end of a 1 to it score. The performance was all that •nulil be expected of any "hall game, fast and closely played and punctu ated occasionally by an error of a bonehead play. "U-fty" Grimes, the Pointers' vet eian southpaw, did mound work for the locals, and held his. name-sake lads at his mercy until the eighth inning when he was forced from the box by tnd injured finger. He was relieved by Roebuck who finished the game in splendid fashion. Roebuck and Griffin led both teams at the j hat, each getting two extra base hits. Forbes, for the visitor*, did ex ceptional work in the box, striking out several batters and allowing only eight hits, Next week the two teams meet in Gold Point when the winners of the three-game series will be determined. Last Minute Changes in Finals at University The program for the finals at the closing of the University Ibis week was g*eally changed when the Rt. Rev. William A.
