Meekins, of Tyrell county, father.of Isaac, and J. S. Hodges of Beaufort county, were nominated for the State Senate in the second Senatorial District of North Caro lina by the Republican convention of that District, on Friday at Plyt. mouth. . The Republican Senatorial Con- vention in this town on Thursday of last week was a delightful specimen of tho happy family,and was prophetic of that good time when tho lion and the lamb shall lay down side by side, and a little child shall lead them. James S.. Wilcox and E. A. White were nominated by their respective friends. Mr. White declines. Poor-old Judge Norwood can't stand the test of prosperity. - He triumphed over Carter and then he fell from grace .-and' got gutter drunk at Windsor last week.

He was here six years ago, and since , then has aged some, and his crow black has turned to sprinkled gray.but he looks vigorous,hale and healthy,ahd hi pre sence recalls the days when the erniine of North Carolina was borno on judicial thouldcis with honor; dig nity and learning. How is it with the products ofv Republican rule! Babboons, drunkards, pothouse pol iticians and dirty dogs sitting in state, in the seats once occupied by Gaston, Nash, Ruffin and Bailey. Alas! Alas! .There was speaking in the Court house on Monday night, which is spoken of as a delightful occasion. Our candidate for Congress John IT. Smill. Esti.. t and our' candidate for the State Senate Hon. Thomas Gregory Skinner addressed the club. Those who wero present say that Small made 1 more telling speech than that ho mado in tho day, which we regard as a high commendation, and that Skinner made the best speech of his life, which Skinner in accepting the compliment ascribes to his crutches, and says there's more- speaking talent in a pair of crutches than in the brainiest man! I: i After the adjournment of the Democratic Speaking in tho Court Houso on Monday, Tom Babb (as he calls himself) took the stand and asked the audience to hear him a fow moments. The good-natured audience kept their seats, and Babb, who has been on tho inside ring of the Republican party, let out the cats from that charnel house and stench of corruption, with more em phasis than elegance. He called names, while 'he held his nose, apparently convulsed with stench. He pilloried tho distinguished editor of the negro sheet up town in such sharp terms that he brought down the house. He claims to be the law ful Populist candidate for the State Senate vice one Shaw, and is asking for votes.

McCabc & Grice, one cf the enter prising and progressive firms of this city, moved into their new, spacious and elegantly appointed store. It is by odds the handsomest store in the city and competent judges say it is one of the finest in the State. 1 . For weeks large supplies of new goods, from the northern markets, have been pouring in. A large corps of active and energetic clerks have been kopt bwy opening,' mark ing and properly arranging their eoods preparatory to Uieir grana Full onenincr. This occurred on tho 19th inst and marked an epoch in tho , history of our city. When tho screens were withdrawn from the large show windows and the doors thrown open a scene of en chanting beauty burst upon the astonished public. They had ex pected something fincbut they were not prepared for the superb display that greeted them. & Rich and costly fabrics were ar ranged in the most approved and ar- tistic style. Taste, elegance ana deftness of touch, budded and bios- Bomed all' round. Soft melting strains of music floated from a hand some piano presided over by an ac complished musician. Lovely lady clerks apparelled in spotless white, glided gracefully hither and thither. Gentleman clerks, bland and'smiling, politley waited on Tdeh'ghted cus tomers. Constantly increasing num bers, j whose countenances were lighted up with bright smiles thronged tho magnificent structure, Valuable and handsome souvenirs were lavishly bestowed on agreeably surprised . customers. And the busy click of the money-corners was heard long alter the brilliancy of electric lights added new and pecu liar loveliness to the marvelous scene, The opening was most admirably planned and perfectly executed. It was a great success and will b long rememtered. 1 Notice the display of -Eastman Kodak in Selfcs window this week.. A dainty ring will please a pretty girl. Hathaway Broshave the best. :The Demooratic Rally. Monday was a .Democratic , gala day in our town. A large and en thusiastic audience met in the Court House soon afterJ noon, and the kept their seats- patiently and attentively until nearly 5 p. m. The only draw-back to the attractive oc casion was that the able speakers who came in on the noon train were not met at the Railroad Depot by bands of cheering music and .by a long procession of our Democratic citi- zens. j utnerwise, 11 was a graiuy injr success." After a rest of an hour and a lunch at the hospitable home of OUr townsman, E F. Lamb, Esq., they proceeded tp the Court House where a large crowd were in waiting for them. The meeting was called to order by E. F.: Lamb when in complimen tary terms he introduced' to the au dience Hon. F. A. Woodward, and announced that he would address them on. the political iaues of -the campaign. Mr. Woodward addressed the 1 people in a speech of about two hours duration, em bracing the leading issues" in Nation al and State politics. It was a sen &ible and intetligent speech, plain, cogent, forcible, and presented with the earnestness and simplicity of truth, lie held his large. audience m undivided attention .from the opening to the elosing sentence. Mr. 'Woodward was followed by Mr. John H. Small, our Democratic candidate for Congress, who was in troduced by our townsman Mr. Burgess, late of Washington, N. C.K and a personal friend of Mrl Small, in a graceful and well timed intro duction. Mn SmaU is -a trained speaker with no foolishness about him: j He speaks deliberately, slow ly and with clear and distinct enun ciation. He did not speak oyer 50 minutes and his speech' was mainly devoted to tho vital State issues of white supremacy, our threatened civilization, and the contrasts of Democratic and Republican rule, in North Carolina. The speech was short butj every word was a two edged sword. -The Congressional Convention i that nominated John Small made no mistake. Bothspeech es were accented by liberal applause. Selig has put In a line of Eastman Kodaks. If you are in need of one call and see him before purchasinff elaej where. Is It True. i It is-sometimes said that Eliza beth City is distinguished for hav ing a class of, prosperous leading business men who take no interest in public affairs of a political, social character, and .the crisis that now confronts lis is pointed to as an il lustration of it. The business pros perity of Elizabeth . City is bound up in the issue of the political con test that is now upon us. The larg est business men of the town have most at stake, and yet it is said that there are nly a few white ..Demo crats, who are tho class of prosper ous merchants who are members of the Democratic Club which has been organized in this town and has regular meetings for political discussion. And this applies also to other classes and professions. When invited to cooperate with the Democratic party in its clubs and other campaign agencies, they say, O, I am al right ' This is neither wise nor reasonable. Because you are a christian and all right reli giously, is it wise, or reasonable, or holv foxlyou to turn your back on the service of the church. The poor and the humble Democrats are doing the work of this campaign wMle the conspicuous men of affairs are stana ing "afar off and saying we are all - v . - - right," and the leading men of af fairs have much' more at stake. Brethren this should not be thus. Indeed ye be to blame. Turnout". Turn out. Meet the public speakers that come to us,meet them at I the depot with prodessions, with cornet bands, with cordial wel come. Bring out your lady friends to hear the speaking. The issue is a most f vital one . to them. They turn out in other towns why not in Betsy, j ; J ' Vatche3 of good value and the best styles and most popular prices, at LlathaWay Bros. Wha V.Ike. 1.
