crowd has been so great that there
was no accomodation for them.
Every cottage has been occupied
the hotel has been thronged during
the entire summer. At times there
have been as many as a thousand
visitors on Nags Head and at ail
time the crowd has been larger than
it has been in years.
This season has been an unusual

It is one of the best prepared and

directors are anxious that the collec
tors shall be given a hearty re
sponse in collecting this money The
success of the collectors will great
ly expedite the work of completing
the building.
If the money is collected promptly
the work will be hastened and the
building will be completed sooner.
The slow progress in the work in
the past, has been due to the want
of the fund necessary to pay for the
work as it was done.
The directors have been wise in
the plan to work on the building on

THAT IS NOT
There is precious little to boast
about in having been permitted to
run for an office in the first primary
held ijp, this county abu a 'week
ago. We fail to see where " such j; a
privilege is "prima facie" evidence
that candidate ipa Igood . Ibmocrat.
The primary held on the 8th instant
was an open one ; and it was pret
ty open too. It was just 4 so opened
that every last : Radical that winted
to vote, "could have done so. it is
said that about 150 Radicals partici
pated in that primary and the Radi
cal leaders are all laughing at the
rediculous position that the Denio-crats-
bpfaced tbemselvei in No

a candidate in that primary is not
much evidence that he is a democrat
The wonder is that more Radicals
did not run for nominations.

DEMOCRATS SWEEP
STATE OF MAINE
The report sent out from Augusta
Maine is as follows.
This was the jubilant message
flashed to all -sections of the coun
try1 today fromy the party headquar
ters here. Returns from outlying dis
tricts as they filtered in today indi
cated that the democratic sweep
was even greater in the state than
last nights returns indicated ?nd
that the 9,000 majority claimed for
Plaisted would be exceeded. These
later figures gave promise that four
democratic congressmen were elect
ed and that both houses of the leg-
Jisjteture will be democratic. This
would mean the election of a demo
crat to the United State senate to
succeed Senator Hale, i
Tbe first democratic landslide in
30 years has caused the greatest po
litical uproar throughout the state
since the civil war.
The result of this election is be
lieed to be prophetic of the results
through out the country this year,
the Democrats are Jubilant and tbe
Republicans are correspondingly
gloomy. From this and other indi
cations tbe Democrats have the best
chance of success this year that
they have had in many years.
