June 7.?Con gress was called In session an hour earlier than usual tonight for the final drive toward sine die adjournment set by reso lution at 7 o'clock tonight. Disposal of a reclamation measure of the department of the Interior was the principal task on the program of both chambers. Farm bloc members were also ready to make a last effort to get action on the relief meas ure. ALBEMARLE COTTON IS EXTREMELY LATE Reports from various parts of the 1 Albemarle district Indicate that the I cotton crop has been delayed by the , late summer and frequent cool I nights. This condition makes It es pecially advisable that frequent I shallow cultivation be practiced ac cording to cotton men. N. T. Aydlett who made a-visit week reports that cotton in that sec to lower Currituck County this tion is more backward than ho has ( ever seen it. Frequent cultivation allows air to reach the roots of growing plants and warms up the soil Inspiring the voting cotton to exert itself more. County Agent Falls recommends that cotton be chopped out that u Kood heavy stand is left in the field. Too drastic measures in chopping out cotton prove Injurious, he says. The width of a hoe blade should be tha maximum width as experiments have proven that close sparing Is better under weevil conditions. While cotton has been hampered by the cold weather It se?*ms to have had less Influence on corn. Crops In Pasquotank County are In fine shape, especially those patches In the vicinity of Weeksville. CHAI'TArQrA TKNT C'HKW IIKHK The Chautauqua tent crew has ar rived In the city and the erection of the big Chautauqua tent for the seven Joyous days of June 12 to 18 will bo begun at once. It Is hoped that the ereetlon of the tent will bring homo to the that Chautauqua is at band and the time for buying season tickets get ting shorter every hour. "Walter J. Millard, wlio will act ns Superintendent at the Elizabeth City Chautauqua this year, when h* In not engaged In such work. Is doln* th" interesting Job of advising cities and counties how to make the tax payer's dollar give more sorvlco. says C. E. Comer, member of Swarm more Chautauqua staff. "Mr. Millard does this work as the field tary for the Natlonnl Municipal league of which Charles Evans Hughes was President until his ap- 1 point nient as Secretary of State. "Mr. Millard has conducted cam-;, palgns In over twenty cities for bet ter city charters, most of which ap ply to the city manager plan. The largest of these cities Is Cleveland, j Ohio, t^ast winter Mr. Millard was one of the three principal men who conducted a three day Institute on local government and Its problems In Columbia. S. C.. at which all the Congressmen and Senators, the gov ernor and his stiff, and the bulk of the state legislators were In atten dance. fie Is also regarded as the foremost spokesman for propor tional representation. ?'Mr. Millard will make theme ques tions the subject of his lecture on the second day of Chautauqua In Elizabeth Ity. During hit stay In the City Mr. Millard will be glad to con fer with, any who are Interested In solving of the great problem of more service at less coet that all clttae. ee- ( pec tally the smaller ones, are mow facing. m With Jiiat a few counties heard from on the south Bide of the sound, Lindsay Warren of Washington is leading F. Aydlett of Elizabeth City by a comfortable majority. While Aydlett made a strong run in the adjacent counties to Pasquotank, Warren's strength on the south of Albemarle Sound seems to indicate that he will be the next representa tive for the First District in the six ty-ninth Congress. Aydlett received a majority for Congress in Pasquotank of about 1, 000 votes, while in Pitt County, five 'of 14 precincts gave Warren 1,373 against 169 for Aydlett. Five pre cincts out of six In Hertford County Igare Warren 355, Aydlett 94. 1 The news that knocked the feet j from under Aydlett supporters early . Friday night was an Associated Press dispatch from GreenvXlU*?atAt*-. Ing that Ave preclnttft of 14 in I Pitt gave Warren 1,373, Aydlett 169, , Mann 88 and Griffin 26. Later dispatches from Pitt report ed the vote, with 13 out of 14 pre cincts heard from, Aydlett 682, War ren 4,057, Mann 242, Griffin 72. In Hertford County the vote in the Congressional race In five out of six precincts In the county was War ren 355, Aydlett 94. Mann 25, Grif fin 13. Warren and Aydlett ran a close race in Perquimans, that county complete, giving Aydlett 368, Mann 112, Warren 488, and Griffin 24, while Chowan, four out of six pre cincts reporting, went strong for Griffin, whose vote was 580 against 71 for Aydlett and 34 for Warren. Aydlett's vote In Camden was 604 aqainst 385 for Warren. Mann and GrlfTIn received only scattering votes. News from Manteo is that with 9 precincts out of 15 heard from Dare gave Warren a majority of 158 In the race for Congress. Incomplete returns reaching here from Currituck County Indicate that Warren won In that county by some thing like a 2 to 1 majority over E. F. Aydlett. No returns were received over the l?ttsed wire of The Advanco on the Senatorial contest and the only re turns tabulated are those from Pas quotank.
