Altogether the company is prepared to fur nsh many evenings of recreation and entertainment Despite raw weather ami mudT dy roads a fairly large crowd as setnblcd at Currituck Court House yesterday to hear the trial in the election contest case of 1 5 ray vs. I!atcr. The whoJw county is sharply divided intr 1 wo strong factions by this con test and ill,, people generally want lo see Hie (ig settled aH promptly as possible. Currituck County had no pri mary last summer and the Novem her election. oid i na rill v a rather lame affair in a county which is practically solir;iy de.nocratic. was a hot and closely contested . one. The election was a prima ry ami an election all in one but the fact that the rules gov erning an election are soinewhaf more strict than those governing a primary made it possible tor challenge voles that in a primary would hardly have lxt'ii question, ed. Mr. Bray appears to have re eeived the largest number of votes but the board of canvasser held that sonic of the voles cast for him were illegal and threw out entirely the election return from Jarvisbnrg precinct; A a result Mr. Baxter was elected by a small majority. In the iuit now jKMiding it is the contention of Mr. Baxter's counsel that h received the majority of the le gal votes cast and this is what they will attempt to prove. This case was set for trial at Currituck court hou.sv yesterday; but Judge Justice promptly ap pointed Mr Pruden us referee in. the case and it will be heard be fore the duly appointed referee 011 Wednesday. February 17th. It is predicted that wilh good weath er the crowd attending the hear ing will be one of the largest ever seen at llie ourt house. Bray is represented by Judge Ward ami E. l Aydlett. J.
