Though Antwerp has fallen the caplure of the city does not mean the taking of a large nuinler of prisoners by tin Germans practi cally the entire Belgian army es eaping lief ore tin German invest ment was complete. An announcement that has arouse! intense interest states that 8,000 British tiroops fought iwith the Belgians in the "defense 1 of Antwerp by the Allies.

During the final days of the siege of Ant werj the Zippelins were contin ually dropping bombs in various parts of the city and yesterday from Paris came the newx that there a score of people had been killed or wounded. While the number in Abjured or killed by the airship at tacis is comparatively mall it 'cannot be doubted that their psy chologjcal effect is considerable. They serve to impress upon Paris ians the nearness of their enemies ... anld to terrorize the populace get ; erally because no one. knows where the death bolt may neit be expected to fall.

LUMSDEN IS STRICKEN DOWN Skilled Physician And Useful Citizen Victim of Paralysis As this paper went to press ast night the news m stolen out over ElizaMh City that Ir. V. -I. Lumsdeii was not ex pec ted to live until morning. The sad intelligent' caused a pall of grief ami apprehension to settle upon the whole town, for no news that the prydcian wa. in danger had reached the public generally up In that time. )r. I.umsilen, disabled nearly three years ago, wa ; Mihken with paralysis Sunday evening at about nine o'clock . During the dav he had been for an automobile ride and had gone as far as Edenton. The attack ditiou was reported unchanged at h.iif past four this morning. No physician in Elizalteth City bad a more extensive practice than Dr. Lumsden at the time when he retired froH active pra tice. During his long term of honored! citizens jooiimiaiifl of the forces that oc u j pied Antwerp and that his army is preparing for immediate at tack upon Ostend in the hope of Rapturing the Belgian army and the Belgian king and queen. There is no definite news from the scene of eastern conflict. The death of King Charles of Rouma nia which occured last week is considered by many as increasing th possibility of that country joining the Allies in the war apainst Germany and Austria. The capture of Antwerp by the Germans is regarded as of deci give ifature in that it shows that modern fortifications, are not proof against the big guns of the invaderp. ' The AUleg must ex j pert henceforth that if their bat tle line protecting Taris is brok en by the Germans the fate "f that city is wealed DAI HAS FI II To Elect Strong and Pop ular Man To Legislature Says Voter At Wan chese Waiicluj e. N. ('., Oct.. 1st -Kiiitok Tin: An aRci: : Assuming as 1 am the respou sibillfc of exju'ssing even my own views, 1 humbly seek admission to your columns the lew follow iug remarks. 1 do this, not "wishing to be heard lor my much speaking," but in order to congratulate the Democratic par ty in Dan County for its wist1 judgment in the selection of those who will bear the party standard in the coming election. Naturally, any party or organl zation is strong as its leader is strong or weak as its leader is weak. Naturally, aJso, the candi date for representative become, by virtue of his nomination, the leader of his party during the campaign in which he runs. Es pedal ly, then do we congratulate the party on its choice, Mr. 1. 11. Scarlsirougli, for the position a hove named. One evidence of the strength of the ticket among the party is the good humor which continued prevent during the session of the ((invention and the almost unan imous nomination of every candi date elected. It is to be regret ted, of course, that two precincts were not represented, but it is uu derstood that the nominations meet with their approval. It is believed, with good authority, that the spirit of independence which took hold of and' drove from the party many loyal Demo crats in the elections two and lour years ago, has died out and that in the coming election ev ery Democrat will join again to his idol and rally to the standard of true Democracy. We earnestly believe that the nomination of Mr. Scarborough for Representative will do more to bring back every Democrat to his party Ziau any otherVtep that could have been taken by the jwirty. Because the people of Dare County know Mr. Scar borough. They know him to be intellectually as capable as any, available man the county has for this its highest honor. And the eople of Dare County know that Mr. Scarborough is a prac tical man. He is both an oyster man and a tisherman. Mr. Scar borough is not what we terjn one of our largest fishermen, rather oik- of our small fishermen, one thai will hxk out for the inter est of the little men as well as the big men. For quite a number of years we have known Mr Scarborough and we believe he has the confl dence of the whole people. We know him to be too broad mind ed and honorable to be the tool of any one man or class of men From a practical standpoint, we feel safe in saying there fa no man in the county better ac (piflinted with the inland waters of North Carolina that he U, or Continued 6n Hext Pige) OPPORTUNITY I SPEAKER III SECTION Will Speak At Various Points This Month In Behalf Of Anti $?.!oon League Kev. 0.
