MAGNIFICENT WORK. FROM MOYOCK. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. M. C. CROWSON, Editor. W. M. HINTON, Asso. Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Elisabeth Cit 5i tnd class matter. ELIZABETH CITY, August 9, 1930. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. NATIONAL TICKET. For President WILLIAM J. 1JRYAN. For Vice President, ADLAI E. STEVENSON ANOTHER HISTORIC DAY. North Carolina is rich in great, historic days. It was a great day when the English man's foot touched for the first time the soil of these United States upon the beautiful island of Roanoke. It was a great day when upon the same island the first white child born of Eng lish parents in America Vir ginia Dare opened her wonder ing baby eyes to behold the glad sunlight cf God and to have her little heart thrilled by the jabilant voices of nature. It was a great day when brave North Carolinians not like their Boston cousins disguised as Indians, but without disguise and in the broad open daylight withstood the execution of the iniquitous stamp-act and thu bade defiance to the royal crow i of England. It was a great day when the first rich libation poured out upon Liberty's sa cred altar in behalf of American freedom, rendered Alamance forever thereafter an hallowt d spot. It was a great day when the first Declaration of Ameri can Independence was published to the world in old Mecklenburg county. It was a great da when amid the first clash oi arms in the great Civil Strift a North Carolinian yielded up, at Big Bethel, the crimson wealth of his noble heart. It was a great day when Pettigrew not Pickett led his men farthest up the gory heights of Gettysburg. It was a great day when the gal lant Worth Bagley freely give his noble young life for Cuban liberty and with his rich blood cemented more closely the dis severed .sections of this broad Union. Time would fail to give all the great days in North Care Una's glorious history. We will name but one more. It has the property of dewey freshness. It has but recently demonstrated its right to a place in Fame's proud record. It is the second day of August, 1900. It will ever hereafter be memorable in the State's annals. No bugle blast was sounded, 110 booming of cannon was heard, no clash of arms disturbed the day's seren ity, but a pivotal battle in the State's history was being fought Noislessly as the struggle be tween light and darkness the tiny but potent ballots wrestled for the mastery, Bloodless was the conflict but when the day was ended a glorious victory had been won. Right had tri umphed and wrong had been throttled. Manhood had assert ed itself and North Carolina had been treed trom ignominous surfdom. This day's victory will live forever. It will fling its glori ous light far down the avenue of coming years and be hailed with glad acclaim by ruture generations. Messrs. M. C. Crowson a edi tor, and W. M. Hinton as asso ciate editor, will hereafter con duct the Elizabeth City Fisher man and Farmer, and an able faithful, North Carolina papei they will make of it. The Post wishes it an abundant success. Raleigh Post. In the Lunatic Asylum : Keeper ' This poor fellow used to be a famous musician." Visitor "Ah ! and now he's a wandering minstrel." Phiiad. A phia Evening Journal. Never in the histoiy of our county has there been more thorough, systematic work than during the recent political cam paign. It was truly magnificent. It was simply superb. Every precinct and ward was organ ized with the consummate skill of the master. Every part of the county was thoroughly can vassed. Every argument that would lend potency to our cause was artfully brought forward. No effort was spared to confirm the wavering. No liht heli back that would disperse the clouds of ignorance or scatter the mists of honest doubt. A glorious victory, therefore, was the natural result. Under the masterful leader ship of Hon. J. 13. Leigh, our County Chairman, the following gentlemen threw themselves into the canvass with commend able zeal and eminent ability : Hon. Geo. W. Ward, J. Hey wood Sawyer; E. F. Aydlett, P. H. Williams, Hon. E. F. Lamb, Roscoe W. Turner, Percy W. McMullan, Walter L. Cohoon, S. S. Lamb and W. M. Hinton. We would not forget the virile, trenchant, Damascus blade wielded by the skillful hand and directed by the massive brain of Col. R. . Creecy, From the tripod he dealt the enemy blows that a Richard might have en vied. But all this public work would have gone for naught had it not been nobly seconded by the sturdy men who compose the rank and file of the great Democracy. It was the "Men behind the guns" as well as the leaders, that did the work. Let all re joice together. Let equal honor be meted out to all. M My baby was tenibly sick with the diarrhoea, ' says J. H. Doak, of Williams, Oregon. " We were unable to cure him with the doctor's assistance, and as a last resort we tried Cham berlain's Colic, Choleia and Diarrhoea Remedy. I am happy to say it gave immediate relief and a complete cure." For sale by J. E. Wood. Victory I Victory I Glorious Victory! North Carolina goes Demo cratic by 60,000 majority. The Amendment falls a little behind the ticket but is secure. The Old North State is gloriously redeemed White Supremacy to be permanent, despite the unholy Combination. Butler dies hard. The Canvassing Board of Pasquotank met at the Court House last Saturday and officially gave the result of the election. Complete returns will be found below. They go far beyond any expectation enter tained by the most sanguine. It was a perfect land-slide. A vertible Waterloo. The status of thirty years was reversed Old Pasquotank covered herself all over with glory. N. G Grandy led the ticket with a majority of 907. W. A. Foster M busted " the Banks with a majority of 834. T. P. Nash with a majority of 792 tore off the rigging and left the old ship compassless and rudderless on a storm -tossed sea. " Cully was knocked out of the ring by J. C. Speuce with a majority of 685. The county gives a mas jority of 650 in favor of the Amendment. Rejoice, Rejoice ! Again we say rejoice and give thanks. The Health Problem Is much simpler than is some times supposed. Health de pends chiefly upon perfect digestion aud pure blood, and the problem is solved very readily by Hood's Sarsaparilla. You may keep well by taking it promptly for any stomach or blood disorder. Its cures of scrofula, salt rh:um, catarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and other diseases are numbered by the thousands. The favorite family cathartic is Hood's Pills. The Passing of Butl. r. The election of last week puts an end to the political career of Marion Butler. He had staked everything on the result and must read in the election returns, "Thou art weighed in the bal ance and found wanting." Ordinarily defeat of his party does not mean political destruc tion for a public official, for if he fails when his party is de feated he succeeds again when it is victorious. It is annihila tiou for Butler because he forced nis party machinery into an un holy alliance for selfish ends by which he has destroyed his par, ty in North Carolina in the un successful attempt to obtain an office at the hands of the Repub lican party. The same unscru pulous men and the same cor- rupt methods that were used to elect McKiniey were used to secure a Legislature to keep Butler in the Senate, and he vvas in the very front employing the agencies of corruption that every true Democrat and every true Populist denounced in 1896. Against the will of those popu lists who care more for .reform than for office, Butler committed his party against the Amend ment and amalga nated it with the gold aud negro party. If the contest had been merely one over offices, this prostitution of the Populist party might not have beeu fatal, but as it was a question that went to the very mudsill of Southern civiliza tion, the failure to put the Pop ulist party in line with Southern thought and the preservation of intelligent rule was a crime from which no man and no pat ty can recover in the life of tins generation.

A Minister's Good Work. " I had a severe attack of bili ous colic, got a bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Em poria, Kan. " My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so dischaiged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, ChoK era aud Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose ; told him to take another d.se in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more aud was entirely cured."
