A Bit OIT This newspaper's Washing ton correspondent; David Law rence. seems to lie a bit off his base in the statement that the decision for the Democratic Na tional Convention to meet in New York City was a mere mat ter of auctioning the Conven tion off to the highest bidder. Here is the Associated Press re port of' the action of the Demo cratic National Committee in making decision for New York: Dollars, needed by the Democratic treasury to clear up its deficit of $1 SO. 000 from tlx- 1020 campaign were the bin bludgeons of today V. lonu battle over the convention city. New York's selection followed an in crease to $205,000 for the conven tion over its original bid of $ 1 so.- 1 000. This topped the blu offer of $200,000 offered by San Francisco.' up to that lime th?* n rtinl breaker J in American political history. When New York boosted its offer. San Francisco tacked on another $5,000. to equal the New York hid. but thisj failed t <> swini: the convention to lb" Pacific coast. Many commiltee mem- I hers said tlral with the New York and San Francisco bids equal, thev were against repeating the long trek ; of 1920 to the Pacific coast, and were In favor of giving New York j its first major political convention since 1868. v We don't know how you feel about it, but it occurs to us that; if The Advance reached you promptly and in fair condition on such a day as Wednesday, your carrier is entitled to at least a word of praise and en- 1 couragement. The Advance ap-| preciates words that came from' subscribers advising us of fail- 1 ure to receive Wednesday's pa-| pers and air such subscribers were dispatched a copy of the jpaper by special messenger. But we would appreciate even moro hearing from subscribers who can tell us of instances showing special fidelity and considera tion on the part of carriers serv> ing their part of the city. The winds. do blow and win-! ter seems to have come really. Most of us these days keep ?.s close to the fire as work will per mit, but Elizabeth City's fire fighters are busier than ever, , for every time that the siren I sounds when the wind is blow-j ing as it has lately one hears aj sinister note of warning of tho possibility of disaster and ruin.' The 1922 big fire at New Bern | is still unforgotten, and we d^, well to remember it. But what sort of a creature is it who turns in a false alarm on days like this? -jj The young men held, while the circumstances of the drown ing of Mrs. Lenoir Gertrude Hill in the Winston-Salem water reservoir were being investigat ed, have been exonerated, we be ? lieve.'of any charge bf crime si far as her death is concerned. However, one of the men faces trial in Superior Court on charge of violation of the Vol-| stead Act and also on a chaw of operating an automobile I while under the influence of li quor. Undoubtedly liquor was at the bottom of the tragedy. The feasibility of star route mail service from South Mills to Elizalieth City is given apt il lustration in the fact that the Norfolk-Elizal>eth City bus lino operating between Elizabeth City and Norfolk by way of South Mills made its Schedule Wednesday afternoon while the Trenton was turned back at the mouth of the Pasquotank by wind and storm. We imagine that Wednesday ofTered every Klizal>eth City merchant an almost ideal busi ness day fpr writing advertise menta, as. with such a storm on, customers must have been few and far between. The siz4 of Thursday's paper, however, would seem to indicate that the opportunity was most generally neglected. 1 \ wedding of much interest th.?utghout tins section of North Car ? ?

He fore the entrance of the bridal party a selection from Tannhauser was softly played by Mitts Nellie Hast ings. To the strains of the Loln-n ^rin wedding march the bridal partv entered. The bride had as her maid of hon or Miss Naomi Aydlett and the urooin had as his best man Mr. C. C. liell. The bride was gowned in a handsome dress of cocoa canton crepe with accessories to harmonize and her flowers were a shower bou quet of bride's rosctt and lillies of the valley. Miss Aydlett wore a dresM of chartnetise and carried Columbia roses and lillies of the valley. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Williams left for a weddiim trip North. After their re-4 turn they will be at home with the bride's mother at 7Uft North Hoad j street. ODD KKI.LOWS HOLD DISTINCT MKKTINC Representing Gates, Dare.
