Fountain announced he would oppose J. C. B. Ehringhaus in a second pri mary fot* the Democratic governorship nomination next July 2. Foun tain's announcement creates the third state-wide contest to be decided July 2, Messrs. Cameron Morrison and R. R. Reynolds opposing each other for the United States Senatorial nomina tion, and Clarence Mitchell and A. L. Fletcher opposing each other for the job of Commissioner of Labor. In the June 4 primary, Ehringhaus polled 162,498 votes, as compared with Fountain's 115,127 and Maxwell's 102,- 032. In the race for United States Senator, Reynolds polled 156,548 and Morrison 143,176. Bowie was third with 38,548 votes and Grist fourth with 31,011. Simmons got a feW 1 votes in the same contest. Fletcher led the ticket in the race for commissioner of labor with 76,216 votes, and Mitchell was second with 74,820, the other four candidates dividing a fair-sized number of votes. Announcing his entrance into the second contest, Mr. Fountain said: "In response to a practically universal de mand by personal conferences, tele grams, and letters from my friends and loyal supporters in all parts of North Carolina, I have decided, in justice and loyalty to them and to the great prin ciples of democracy involved in this contest, overshadowing any personali ties, that it is my duty to my friends, to my party, and to the State to enter the second primary as a candidate for Governor of North Carolina. "The principle involved in this cam paign, as my friends and I see it, is whether the control of the Democratic party shall pass into the hands of a powerful machine that bids fair to be come a political juggernaut, dictating the selection of the people's represen tative* and the policies of the party, and depriving the rank and file of Democratic voters of North Carolina of a free and untrammeled choice in their selection, or whether the party, inaccordance with Jeffersonian princi ples, shall be kept close to the people and obey their demands and protect their interests against all influences of money and special privilege. "In the first primary, I had no mon ey to set up in a proper way such an organization of friends and workers in the various counties as could compete with the powerful organization and money of one of my opponents, and the powerful influence of many of the employes and appointees of the pres ent administration. "My workers in the first primary were volunteers without reward or hope of reward, actuated only by the conscientious desire tp establish the principles and policies for which we were fighting. "In the second primary, I must still rely largely upon the loyalty, the con victions, and the activities of those Democrats in North Carolina who be lieve in those things that I have ad vocated and shall still fight for as long as the breath of life ia in my body. ■ t "I desire to make it clear at the out set, beyond peradventure of doubt, that I am carrying on this fight to the final issue not for the gratification of a mere personal ambition to be Gover -/ nor of North Carolina, but for the prin ciples and policies that I believe to be vital to the preservation of the Demo cratic party and the welfare of all our people.

LOCALS WIN TWO OF FIRST THREE GAMES PLAYED • To Play Elizabeth City Jay r Birds Here Tuesday Afternoon In the first period of play, William ston's baseball team won two games and lost one to claim second place in the newly organized Albemarle Lea gue. This afternoon, the Martins are playing Edenton's Colonials here. Next Tuesday, Elizabeth City meets the locals here for the first time, Man ager Spivey announcing that ladies will be admitted free to that game. Colerain and Williamston opened play in the Albemarle League here last Tuesday afternoon, when Wil liamston triumphed over the Bertie boys by a 7 to 2 score, the game evi dencing a fast and entertaining brand of ball. A large crowd, many of which were from out of town, was in at tendance, creating a fair financial re turn for the first official game of the season. Kugler, star pitcher for Davidson College during the past seasoii, was on the mound for the locals, allowing on ly four hits and making one of his team's nine hits. The young man worked hard, striking out eleven men and allowing only 15 men to face him in the first five innings of play. Cof field starred at the bat and in the field for the locals, Whitehurst, of Rober sonville, leading members of both the teartis at the bat with three hits. This afternoon Edenton is playing the locals here, and next Tuesday aft ernoon Elizabeth City comes here to play the locals for the first time this nMMon. > •' Last Wednesday, Herring, former Wake Forest college pitcher, hurled a six-hit game to aid the local* in their 5 to 1 victory over Colerain in a fast game played at Windsor. Coble was behind the bat, and made two of the local's eight hits. With Jimmie Brown on base, Coflield made the first home run of the season. Earps and Jimmie Brown also annexed two hits each during the play, while Colerain's field ers made three circus catches to hold down the locals in their hits and runs. Yesterday, the Martins were turned back by Edenton 11 to 3 at Edenton, Mills and Gardner working on the mound for the locals and Coble and Latham behind the bat. B.

The general trend of the proceedings was for a union of Democracy at the polls next November. Unanimous support was pledged to Franklin D. Roosevelt in his conquest for the presidential nomination, and a platform that was neither wet nor dry was adopted by a big majority. A resolution was passed instructing del egates to cast North Carolina's 26 votes in the National Convention for the nomination of Roosevelt. The outward harmony, save for the prohibition flare-up in the afternoon, was attested in the fact that only two roll calls were necessary to decide con tests—the first, for the election of the elector-at-large from the east, in which Judge J. Crawford Biggs, of Raleigh, won over State Senator Rivers D. Johnson,'of Warsaw, by a vote of 1,- 213 1-2 to 1,198 1-2; and the second, on the minority demand for a prohibi tion resubmission plank in the plat form, which was swamped so thorough ly that the vote was not completed and official totals were neyfr tabulated. Unofficial totals showed the vote to have been 1,762 to 511 against the wet proposal. Wsta Make Noiae The wet element made so much noise, cheering their own advocates and booing those who counseled a gafnst a course described as jeopardiz ing the party's future in the Novem ber election—even the silver-tongued Clyde Hoey, former Congressman, who treaded for sane reflection and party its weakness in the balloting came as a shock to many in the convention hall. The platform battle raged for little more than an hour after former Lieut. Governor R. A. Doughton brought in the majority platform committee re port, signed by 9 of the II members, and containing .a plank recognizing the right of the people to change by legal methods the laws under which they live, but pledging support to the Eigh teenth Amendment so long as it re mained in the Constitution. Minority Report That in itself in the platform of a party which has not had prohibition before it as a convention issue 'since the State voted out liquor a quarter, of a century ago, might in times pasti have been construed as a wet victory,| but the moinrity element was not sat-j isfied, and H. L. Foxhall, of Edge combe, presented the minority plank, signed only by himself and J. L. Wig gin*, of Chowan, calling for instruct ing the Chicago, delegation to vote for a resubmission plank. j The first major demonstration of, the convention greeted the minority re port, and the minority demonstrations were frequent as John H. Small, form- 1 er Congressman from the first district, 1 and F. E. Winslow, of Edgecombe, berated the majority plank as a "mean- J ingless platitude" and used the term "hypocrites" in referring to those sponsoring it. * Pleads For Harmony | Stepping to the speaker's stand in the face of a full minute's wet ap plause, Mr. Hoey declared that pro hibition was not before the conven ' tion, pleaded for harmony and con sideration of those back home who knew the benefits of prohibition, and urged that the question be left to the Chicago convention, at which he said it was well known what would be done. "Don't lay too great a burden upon those who must carry the party ban ner iiv November before a great dry citizenship," implored Mr. Hoey, who was interrupted several times during his speech by cries from the floor of "Let us vote." Martin County's Democracy got a bit tangled up, for last Saturday its convention favored a wet and yester day a dry vote of 12 to 7 was report ed on the roll call. A. D. Mac Lean, of Beaufort, Ed Flannagan, of Pitt, V. C. Meekins, of Dare, and Mrs. Herbert Leary, of Hertford, were named as delegates to the Chicago convention from the first district. Lindsay C. Warren was elect ed one of the ten delegates-at-large. E. E. Bell, of Pollocksville, Jones County, if conducting a field demon stration to see if it pays to fertilize pasture for beef cattle. HOOVER, CURTIS AGAIN NOMINEES OF REPUBLICANS Straddle Liquor Question in National Convention At Chicago Considering it unwise to change horses in the middle of a stream, Re publicans in their national convention at Chicag9 yesterday nominated Her bert Hoover for the presidency and Charles Curtis as his running mate. The nominations were made on the first ballot, the convention endorsing Mr. Hoover's record and straddling the prohibition issue. The body de clared that Republicans in the House and Senate should vote for a resolu tion submitting a twentieth amend ment to the several states, Secretary of State Stimson stating last night that those states favoring prohibiion 'could have it and that the federal gov ernment would cooperate with any such states in keeping the evil from reaching into those states from other sections where liquor was recognized. In other words, the Republicans did not declare for a national repeal of the eighteenth amendment, but merely shifted the burden to the States. North Carolina's delegation support ed the President with its 26 votes, but members of the body announced that the prohibition plank was not dry enough, and that they would not be bound by it when they waged their campaign against the Democrats for governor and senator. "The Republi cans have turned down the dry laws and attempted to cover the act with dry slogan," it was remarked. There was little discord in the Re publican meeting, the delegates ap parently realizing that Hoover was to be nominated or all hopes were lost. Fully realizing that Hoover must head the party, the convention threw bodily from the hall former United States Senator Joseph 1. France, of Mary land, when he would have advocated Calvin Coolidge for the nomination. Well, the Democrats go to Chicago Monday week, when all the good and meritorious work so ably described this week will be disputed in no un certain tone. Political WILL NOT GIVE HALF HOLIDAY Efforts To Have All Stores Close Each Wednesday Afternoon Fail Efforts made by several individual' merchants here to perfect an agree ment whereby all business houses would close for a half day each Wed nesday afternoon proved worthless when it was learned this week that the A. and P. and Young stores had b icen instructed to remain open days each week, regardless of whatever action the other merchants took. While it may be possible that the other merchant* will sign the agree ment and close their stores later on, the prospect for a half-day holiday each week is not so good just now. Mer chants' are closing their stores each Wednesday afternoon in a number of towns in this section, according to re ports received "here, and disappoirrt ment is reported in some quarters here because of the failure to perfect a clon ing agreement. In Windsor it is said the merchants agreed to close even if the A. and P. grocery remained open. MAN SHOCKED BY LIGHTNING BOLT Lucian J. Hardison Badly Jarred but Not Seriously Hurt Yesterday Mr. I.ucian J. Hardison, Williams Township'citizen and a candidate for the register of deeds nomination in the recent primary, was badly but not seriously shocked by lightning yes terday afternoon at a logging camp in Washington County. The bolt struck a tree nearby, killing a mule and knock ing down another. Mr. W. G. Hardi son- who was also in the camp at the time, was not hurt. Two mules were hitched to a lug wagon, the bolt knocking both of them down, and while both of them tried to get up only one succeeded, the other dropping back dead. Although Mr. Hardison was badly! jarred, he was not hurt much and is able to b« out and at work. Miss Hariell Wins Second Place In Health Contest Miss Naomi Harrell, of the Oak City Girls' Club, represented the couo-j ty at the district health contest and received second place in the district. Tfcere were 17 counties sending health contestants to the district meeting. ' i TWO BIG SUITS ARE PLACED ON CIVIL CALENDAR Clark and Johnson Damage Suits Are Scheduled for Trial Here Next Week While much of next week will be spent in,clearing 26 cases from the criminal docket, it is understood that preparations are being made to call the damage *uits of Andrew H. Clark against Mrs. Mary Moore and Mrs. Margaret Bonner, of Smithfield, and of Edgar Johnson against the Hoffler- Boney Transfer, Co.. of Wallace. It is believed the court will have time to hear these two cases, and that any oth ers scheduled for trial next week will likely be continued. Mr. Johnson, Robersonville man, is suing for $25,000, charging in his com plaint that through the uegligence of the truck operators he was permanent ly and seriously injured in an automo bile-truck wreck between Wilson and Goldsboro last November. For sev eral weeks following the wreck, Mr. I Johnson was not expected to li\Je, Wilson hospital attendants who treat led him stating at that time there was I little hope of recovery. He pulled ! through and only a few days ago was I he able to be out and then only by the aid of crutches. Mr. Johnson will be represented by Attorneys J. C. Smith, 'of Robersonville, and Hugh G. Hor ton, of Williamston. As a result of injuries received when he was struck by an automobile as he walked along the highway near his home in Everetts, Mr. Clark is su ing Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Bonner for $20,000. Mr. Clark suffered an injury to his head and remained in a hospital several weeks, his condition soon after the accident being described as criti cal. He is represented by Attorney Dunning.
