SECOND PRIMARY
Three State Contests Now
Scheduled for Second
Primary July 2
There were cocked and primed this
week lor another interesting primary
when Lieutenant Governor Richard T.
Fountain announced he would oppose
J. C. B. Ehringhaus in a second pri
mary fot* the Democratic governorship
nomination next July 2. Foun
tain's announcement creates the third
state-wide contest to be decided July
2, Messrs. Cameron Morrison and R.
R. Reynolds opposing each other for
the United States Senatorial nomina
tion, and Clarence Mitchell and A. L.
Fletcher opposing each other for the
job of Commissioner of Labor.
In the June 4 primary, Ehringhaus
polled 162,498 votes, as compared with
Fountain's 115,127 and Maxwell's 102,-
032. In the race for United States
Senator, Reynolds polled 156,548 and
Morrison 143,176. Bowie was third
with 38,548 votes and Grist fourth with
31,011. Simmons got a feW 1 votes in
the same contest. Fletcher led the
ticket in the race for commissioner of
labor with 76,216 votes, and Mitchell
was second with 74,820, the other four
candidates dividing a fair-sized number
of votes.
Announcing his entrance into the
second contest, Mr. Fountain said: "In
response to a practically universal de
mand by personal conferences, tele
grams, and letters from my friends and
loyal supporters in all parts of North
Carolina, I have decided, in justice and
loyalty to them and to the great prin
ciples of democracy involved in this
contest, overshadowing any personali
ties, that it is my duty to my friends,
to my party, and to the State to enter
the second primary as a candidate for
Governor of North Carolina.
"The principle involved in this cam
paign, as my friends and I see it, is
whether the control of the Democratic
party shall pass into the hands of a
powerful machine that bids fair to be
come a political juggernaut, dictating
the selection of the people's represen
tative* and the policies of the party,
and depriving the rank and file of
Democratic voters of North Carolina
of a free and untrammeled choice in
their selection, or whether the party,
inaccordance with Jeffersonian princi
ples, shall be kept close to the people
and obey their demands and protect
their interests against all influences of
money and special privilege.
"In the first primary, I had no mon
ey to set up in a proper way such an
organization of friends and workers in
the various counties as could compete
with the powerful organization and
money of one of my opponents, and
the powerful influence of many of the
employes and appointees of the pres
ent administration.
"My workers in the first primary
were volunteers without reward or
hope of reward, actuated only by the
conscientious desire tp establish the
principles and policies for which we
were fighting.
"In the second primary, I must still
rely largely upon the loyalty, the con
victions, and the activities of those
Democrats in North Carolina who be
lieve in those things that I have ad
vocated and shall still fight for as
long as the breath of life ia in my body.
■ t "I desire to make it clear at the out
set, beyond peradventure of doubt,
that I am carrying on this fight to the
final issue not for the gratification of
a mere personal ambition to be Gover
-/ nor of North Carolina, but for the prin
ciples and policies that I believe to be
vital to the preservation of the Demo
cratic party and the welfare of all our
people. From assurances of thous
ands of. Democrats in North Carolina

LOCALS WIN TWO
OF FIRST THREE
GAMES PLAYED
•
To Play Elizabeth City Jay
r Birds Here Tuesday
Afternoon
In the first period of play, William
ston's baseball team won two games
and lost one to claim second place in
the newly organized Albemarle Lea
gue. This afternoon, the Martins are
playing Edenton's Colonials here.
Next Tuesday, Elizabeth City meets
the locals here for the first time, Man
ager Spivey announcing that ladies
will be admitted free to that game.
Colerain and Williamston opened
play in the Albemarle League here
last Tuesday afternoon, when Wil
liamston triumphed over the Bertie
boys by a 7 to 2 score, the game evi
dencing a fast and entertaining brand
of ball. A large crowd, many of which
were from out of town, was in at
tendance, creating a fair financial re
turn for the first official game of the
season.
Kugler, star pitcher for Davidson
College during the past seasoii, was on
the mound for the locals, allowing on
ly four hits and making one of his
team's nine hits. The young man
worked hard, striking out eleven men
and allowing only 15 men to face him
in the first five innings of play. Cof
field starred at the bat and in the field
for the locals, Whitehurst, of Rober
sonville, leading members of both the
teartis at the bat with three hits.
This afternoon Edenton is playing
the locals here, and next Tuesday aft
ernoon Elizabeth City comes here to
play the locals for the first time this
nMMon. > •'
Last Wednesday, Herring, former
Wake Forest college pitcher, hurled a
six-hit game to aid the local* in their
5 to 1 victory over Colerain in a fast
game played at Windsor. Coble was
behind the bat, and made two of the
local's eight hits. With Jimmie Brown
on base, Coflield made the first home
run of the season. Earps and Jimmie
Brown also annexed two hits each
during the play, while Colerain's field
ers made three circus catches to hold
down the locals in their hits and runs.
Yesterday, the Martins were turned
back by Edenton 11 to 3 at Edenton,
Mills and Gardner working on the
mound for the locals and Coble and
Latham behind the bat. B. Gaylord
led the hitting for the locals with two
hits. A wet field slowed down the
game and resulted in a few errors.
Kugler and Latham are scheduled
for the battery positions here this aft
ernoon.

OVERPROPOSAL
FOR WET PLANK
•
Martin Delegates Favored
Dry Plank By 12 to 7
Vote Yesterday
More than 5,000 delegates, friends
and spectators of North Carolina De
mocracy gathered in Raleigh's new au
ditorium yesterday to take part in one
of the most harmonious conventions
held in the State in many years. The
general trend of the proceedings was
for a union of Democracy at the polls
next November.
Unanimous support was pledged to
Franklin D. Roosevelt in his conquest
for the presidential nomination, and a
platform that was neither wet nor dry
was adopted by a big majority. A
resolution was passed instructing del
egates to cast North Carolina's 26
votes in the National Convention for
the nomination of Roosevelt.
The outward harmony, save for the
prohibition flare-up in the afternoon,
was attested in the fact that only two
roll calls were necessary to decide con
tests—the first, for the election of the
elector-at-large from the east, in which
Judge J. Crawford Biggs, of Raleigh,
won over State Senator Rivers D.
Johnson,'of Warsaw, by a vote of 1,-
213 1-2 to 1,198 1-2; and the second,
on the minority demand for a prohibi
tion resubmission plank in the plat
form, which was swamped so thorough
ly that the vote was not completed and
official totals were neyfr tabulated.
Unofficial totals showed the vote to
have been 1,762 to 511 against the wet
proposal.
Wsta Make Noiae
The wet element made so much
noise, cheering their own advocates
and booing those who counseled a
gafnst a course described as jeopardiz
ing the party's future in the Novem
ber election—even the silver-tongued
Clyde Hoey, former Congressman,
who treaded for sane reflection and
party its weakness in the
balloting came as a shock to many in
the convention hall.
The platform battle raged for little
more than an hour after former Lieut.
Governor R. A. Doughton brought in
the majority platform committee re
port, signed by 9 of the II members,
and containing .a plank recognizing the
right of the people to change by legal
methods the laws under which they
live, but pledging support to the Eigh
teenth Amendment so long as it re
mained in the Constitution.
Minority Report
That in itself in the platform of a
party which has not had prohibition
before it as a convention issue 'since
the State voted out liquor a quarter,
of a century ago, might in times pasti
have been construed as a wet victory,|
but the moinrity element was not sat-j
isfied, and H. L. Foxhall, of Edge
combe, presented the minority plank,
signed only by himself and J. L. Wig
gin*, of Chowan, calling for instruct
ing the Chicago, delegation to vote for
a resubmission plank. j
The first major demonstration of,
the convention greeted the minority re
port, and the minority demonstrations
were frequent as John H. Small, form- 1
er Congressman from the first district, 1
and F. E. Winslow, of Edgecombe,
berated the majority plank as a "mean- J
ingless platitude" and used the term
"hypocrites" in referring to those
sponsoring it. *
Pleads For Harmony
| Stepping to the speaker's stand in
the face of a full minute's wet ap
plause, Mr. Hoey declared that pro
hibition was not before the conven
' tion, pleaded for harmony and con
sideration of those back home who
knew the benefits of prohibition, and
urged that the question be left to the
Chicago convention, at which he said
it was well known what would be
done.
"Don't lay too great a burden upon
those who must carry the party ban
ner iiv November before a great dry
citizenship," implored Mr. Hoey, who
was interrupted several times during
his speech by cries from the floor of
"Let us vote."
Martin County's Democracy got a
bit tangled up, for last Saturday its
convention favored a wet and yester
day a dry vote of 12 to 7 was report
ed on the roll call.
A. D. Mac Lean, of Beaufort, Ed
Flannagan, of Pitt, V. C. Meekins, of
Dare, and Mrs. Herbert Leary, of
Hertford, were named as delegates to
the Chicago convention from the first
district. Lindsay C. Warren was elect
ed one of the ten delegates-at-large.
E. E. Bell, of Pollocksville, Jones
County, if conducting a field demon
stration to see if it pays to fertilize
pasture for beef cattle.
HOOVER, CURTIS
AGAIN NOMINEES
OF REPUBLICANS
Straddle Liquor Question in
National Convention
At Chicago
Considering it unwise to change
horses in the middle of a stream, Re
publicans in their national convention
at Chicag9 yesterday nominated Her
bert Hoover for the presidency and
Charles Curtis as his running mate.
The nominations were made on the
first ballot, the convention endorsing
Mr. Hoover's record and straddling
the prohibition issue. The body de
clared that Republicans in the House
and Senate should vote for a resolu
tion submitting a twentieth amend
ment to the several states, Secretary
of State Stimson stating last night
that those states favoring prohibiion
'could have it and that the federal gov
ernment would cooperate with any
such states in keeping the evil from
reaching into those states from other
sections where liquor was recognized.
In other words, the Republicans did
not declare for a national repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, but merely
shifted the burden to the States.
North Carolina's delegation support
ed the President with its 26 votes, but
members of the body announced that
the prohibition plank was not dry
enough, and that they would not be
bound by it when they waged their
campaign against the Democrats for
governor and senator. "The Republi
cans have turned down the dry laws
and attempted to cover the act with
dry slogan," it was remarked.
There was little discord in the Re
publican meeting, the delegates ap
parently realizing that Hoover was to
be nominated or all hopes were lost.
Fully realizing that Hoover must head
the party, the convention threw bodily
from the hall former United States
Senator Joseph 1. France, of Mary
land, when he would have advocated
Calvin Coolidge for the nomination.
Well, the Democrats go to Chicago
Monday week, when all the good and
meritorious work so ably described
this week will be disputed in no un
certain tone. Political
WILL NOT GIVE
HALF HOLIDAY
Efforts To Have All Stores
Close Each Wednesday
Afternoon Fail
Efforts made by several individual'
merchants here to perfect an agree
ment whereby all business houses
would close for a half day each Wed
nesday afternoon proved worthless
when it was learned this week that
the A. and P. and Young stores had
b
icen instructed to remain open
days each week, regardless of whatever
action the other merchants took.
While it may be possible that the
other merchant* will sign the agree
ment and close their stores later on,
the prospect for a half-day holiday each
week is not so good just now. Mer
chants' are closing their stores each
Wednesday afternoon in a number of
towns in this section, according to re
ports received "here, and disappoirrt
ment is reported in some quarters here
because of the failure to perfect a clon
ing agreement.
In Windsor it is said the merchants
agreed to close even if the A. and P.
grocery remained open.
MAN SHOCKED BY
LIGHTNING BOLT
Lucian J. Hardison Badly
Jarred but Not Seriously
Hurt Yesterday
Mr. I.ucian J. Hardison, Williams
Township'citizen and a candidate for
the register of deeds nomination in
the recent primary, was badly but
not seriously shocked by lightning yes
terday afternoon at a logging camp in
Washington County. The bolt struck
a tree nearby, killing a mule and knock
ing down another. Mr. W. G. Hardi
son- who was also in the camp at the
time, was not hurt.
Two mules were hitched to a lug
wagon, the bolt knocking both of them
down, and while both of them tried to
get up only one succeeded, the other
dropping back dead.
Although Mr. Hardison was badly!
jarred, he was not hurt much and is
able to b« out and at work.

TWO BIG SUITS
ARE PLACED ON
CIVIL CALENDAR
Clark and Johnson Damage
Suits Are Scheduled for
Trial Here Next Week
While much of next week will be
spent in,clearing 26 cases from the
criminal docket, it is understood that
preparations are being made to call
the damage *uits of Andrew H. Clark
against Mrs. Mary Moore and Mrs.
Margaret Bonner, of Smithfield, and
of Edgar Johnson against the Hoffler-
Boney Transfer, Co.. of Wallace. It is
believed the court will have time to
hear these two cases, and that any oth
ers scheduled for trial next week will
likely be continued.
Mr. Johnson, Robersonville man, is
suing for $25,000, charging in his com
plaint that through the uegligence of
the truck operators he was permanent
ly and seriously injured in an automo
bile-truck wreck between Wilson and
Goldsboro last November. For sev
eral weeks following the wreck, Mr.
I Johnson was not expected to li\Je,
Wilson hospital attendants who treat
led him stating at that time there was
I little hope of recovery. He pulled
! through and only a few days ago was
I he able to be out and then only by the
aid of crutches. Mr. Johnson will be
represented by Attorneys J. C. Smith,
'of Robersonville, and Hugh G. Hor
ton, of Williamston.
As a result of injuries received
when he was struck by an automobile
as he walked along the highway near
his home in Everetts, Mr. Clark is su
ing Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Bonner for
$20,000. Mr. Clark suffered an injury
to his head and remained in a hospital
several weeks, his condition soon after
the accident being described as criti
cal. He is represented by Attorney
Dunning.

of crijiimaf and civil cases. Jiylge J.
Paul I'rizzell, of Snow Hill, is sched
uled to preside, the jurist coming here
for the second time since he has been
on the bench.— :
The make-up of the docket is very
unusual this time, the nature of the
cases showing a'drift in crome from li
quor and its allied interests to more
serious violations, including acts of
burglary, housebreaking, larceny and
seduction. And then the docket Car
ries a comparatively small number of
cases or just about half as many as
were scheduled a year ago. F.leven of
tUe 2(> criminal causes were entered on
itlu- docket Vy warrants; ten others
were aiypealejl from the recorder's
court, and still five others were con-
tinued from pre.vi.iim terms, of the su
perior court. The docket carries 10
housebreaking and larceny cases, 5 as
sault cases, 4 cases charging reckless
driving or defendants with driving
while tlrunk, 1 seduction case, l*li-
quor case, another charging embezzle
ment, and another charging defendant
with hunting without proper license,
and 2 charging Jiurglary and still ait-
other charging fornication adultery.
l'robably the most serious case
scheduled for trial during the term is
the one charging l-ov-ingood Mordecai,
a negro formerly of. Robersonville,
with burglary. Moredcai is alleged to
