voles: Sma'l Nominated By SERVICEABLE CONGRESSMAN IS RENOMINATED. SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE. The Democratic Congressional convention of the First North Caro lina District held at Edenton Wednes day afternoon unanimously renomi nated Hon. John H. Small by accla mation. This is the seventh succes sive nomination he had received. Mr. F. C. Harding, of Pitt county ? was permanent chairman of the conven tion . Just before adjournment of the convention there was considerable discussion of a resolution offered by Mr. E. F. Aydlett, petitioning the government to purchase the Dismal Sawmp Canal, inasmuch as the gov ernment engineers had already, rec ommended that Chesapeake and Al bemarle Canal be purchased in con nection with inland waterway, the resolution was tabled . In accepting the nomination Con gressman Small delivered an elo quent and statemanlike speech. Speech of Mr. Small accepting the nomination : Once more the trend of public sentiment has set stronghl toward the Democratic party throughout the country. Since 1896 there have been Borne who became discouraged at successive defeats, and who feared j that the old party was destined at last to lose its vitality and its or ganization. Today the spirit of hope and of courage is more abundant than ! in many years. Every district and J State conventions of the party, every meotin of fDemocratic committees . ... ! join in one chorus of militant Dem ocracy. In almost every instance where others have had an opportufty to register their will, they have re pudiated the Republican party and turned to the Democratic party. If. we shall perceive the opportunity and shall diligently expose the fisdeeds of our political enemies shall or ganise our party in township and in State and raly to our standard and we shall elect a majority in the next House of Representatives and in 1912 we shall elect a Democratic Presi dent. In this day of opportunity it is Proper to recur to .some of the basic principles upon which the Democratic party was founded and has been kept alive for more than a century. We raay in frankness admit that during these recent years our party has to some extent been a party of oppor tunism, and wherever, it has set aside ftpmocratic tenets and turned to tern porary issues which seemed to be Popular, that we have in each in- stanre lost prestige in the estimation j 01 the countrv. The virility and strength of our party lies fin the fact that it stands upon a few proposi tion? which are essential and neces- ary in the maintenance of a Dem-1 ocracy which means that it stands I for the rule of the people upon which the republic was founded. While not attempting any comprehensive state ment it may not be amiss to direct attention o a few of the controlling prineiplies of he Democratic party. O'.ir party stands for the reserved rihts of the States, but at the same time we believe in giving the fullest support to the Federal Government m the exercise of its constitutional powers. An eminent judge of the T nil '! States Supreme Court has defined the Union as 'An indestruc hhle union of indestructible States' If the component parts of the repub lic shall be weakened or impaired, t0 that extent will the union of those Parts be deprived of its strength and solidarity. The maintenance of Acclamation HON. JOHN. H. SMALL the integrity of the State as im portant today as in any period of our history. One of their original rights has been setled by the arbitrament of war and settled for all time to come, but in all other respects the States yet reserve their sovereign powers. In the maintenance of local self-government and of home rule the States constitute the only efficient and stable guarantee. The Democratic fr party believes that the powers which were accorded to the Federal Govern ment in the constitution are ufficient for its needs and should be exercised to the fullest degree, and that the rights reserved to the States should have equal and full reeogniion . The Democratic party believes in economy in the administration of gov ernment, State and National. The money which is collected from the ipeupie suouiu ue appropriated um.v 1 - 1 "J l for necessary purposes and honestw expended. Our party is neither nar row or sectional in its scope and be neficence. It is and always ha.;- been the party of progress and whenever money is necessary to be expenuea .for the weltare and betterment oi all the people, we believe in apperJ-; ing to the loyalty and patriotism of i the tax-payers for such revenue as may be necessary in the pbtecution of any progressive policies, it is not not the amount of taxes which deter mines its rightfulness, but the wis dom and the necessity for its exac tion and the scrupulou honesty of its expenditure. We cite the past record of the Democratic party for friirful examples of wise, economical and useful expenditure in the interest of the people, both in State and ration. The Democratic ' party believes that no taxes direct nor indirect halij be levied, except for the necessary expenses of government, economical- ly administered. We believe in z tariff Justice of the Supreme Court to sue for revenue only, equal and uniform Ceed himself. Piatt D.

One of the largest crowds of coun try people to assemble here in a long time, gathered here last Monday to celebrate the Fourth of July. The poople came from every sec tion of the district. The LeRoy Steam boat Company brought large crowds from Currituck, Columbia and - Man teo, and at an early hour in the morn ing the streets were thronged with visitors. The town put on a gala attire and presented to the visitors a scene of gayety in which the town people and the country people mingled in a free and easy social intercourse. The street parade began at lCf:30 o'clock and last for an hour. It was witnessed by a large crowd of peo ple. After the parade the great crowd began to pour into the Albemarle Park Fair grounds and more than 2,000 gathered there to see the races. Motor boats were kept busy transporting pasengers from the city to the fair grounds. The races began at two (o'clock and they were preceeded by the motor-cycle race in which Eph. Ball of Washington, D. C, and J. Boyd Anderson of this city did some spec tacular riling. This riding was the fastest thing on wheels that a large number of the visitors had ever seen and it greatly pleased them. The following is the result of the races In the first race, Tom C own ed by J. E. Everett of Hertford won the first place; Hannah Louise own ed by C. W. Overman of this city won second place; Little Straight owned by Armstrong and Brichhouse won third place; Annie Lee owned by C. W. Stevens won the fourth place; and Play Boy owned by A. C. Stokes won fifth place. In the second race, Charlie Bar ker owned by Garret and Winslow won the first place; Grace W own ed by N6ah Bright won second place and Dandy Tom owned by Walker of Shiloh won third place. The races passed of very pleasant ly and very quietly. Everything seemed to be pleased with the races and left the grounds satisfied. After the races, the large crowd attended the game of ball between the Western Bloomer Girls and the local team. The game resulted in a score of 13 to 0 in favor of the local team. Inspite of the ipecaision and. the demonstrations the large crowd of visitors was an unusually quiet one. The police had little to do other than to' participate in fun of the oc casion. There were few arrests made and Judge Sawyer's court Tues day morning was a short one. The people of Elizabeth City ap preciate the large crowd, its genial good natured desposition and will be glad to have another visit from the country people.
