This pageant was said to have been the most complete, dramatic and beautiful one ever staged in this section. The attractiveness of the ev ening gowns, coupled with the elabor ate setting in the ball room of the At lantic Beach Casino, produced an ef fect that was decidedly pleasing to the hundreds who attended.

Carteret County folks went to the polls Saturday and stacked up the largest vote ever cast here in a pri mary election, an even thousand more than were cast in the first pri mary the second of June. Luther Hamilton, native son of Carteret, rolled up an overwhelming vote of 4,630 here in the county, to Graham A. Barden's 519., for the Democratic nomination for Congress from the Third Congressional District. This is the first time in the mem ory of many Carteret people that a second primary, with only two candi dates running, that a much larger vote was cast than in the first race. This campaign for the Democratic nomination for congress from the Third Congressional District was by far the most heated one in many years. So far, the official vote for the dis trict has been unavailable, but we are printing later in this newsstory the vote by counties as near correct as possible; reports from five of the nine counties are said to be official. This semi-official count gives Hamil ton 14,410 to Barden's 15,979, which gives Barden a majority of 1,569. It is very significant that Barden only received 519 votes in Carteret County, but Hamilton polled 1,873 votes in Barden's adopted county. being com- This is said to have been the results Hamilton in Craven.
