CHAUTAUQUA MAKES GOOD
ON BOTH OF
Best Program ,Yet and
Can be Said with Equal
Chautauqua opened Saturday
afternoon with the largest crowd
that ever attended the first day's
y program in Elizabeth City.
Superintendent Hunt Cook came
upon the pi. 3rm saying that Mr.
Ashby's IntrooAiction was superflous
for having been for a whole day in
Elizabeth City he could but catch
the spirit of co-cperation and en
thuslasm that seemed to prevail
throughout the town that he ft It en
tirely at home.
THE ART OF LIVING
Mr. Cook then delivered his lec
ture upon the 'Art, of Living', as
- setting in the beginning that ft is
the function of the Chautauqua to
develop the art of living.
7As a matter of fact", said he,
"njost of us live only about one
twentieth of our our power. Our
flvje senses should be handmaidens
to our lives as the Jive fingers are
handmaidens to the hand.
We should cultivate, these senses
listening to great words spok
nj and beautiful songs sung;, see
ing the Infinite beauties of life as
John Ruskin saw them when he Ce
ecrlbed a 'little, pile of sand " with
such exquisite beauty, that, the de
scription became a classic; tasting.
. not tbe" vintag':N'f' -'.C wine.'
which Is a vitiated taste but "the

ture,, the fliza. and the shape, of an,
artjcle, ., but, also the ; shade; smell,,
es John .Burroughs and John .ilulr

untll'"(hey know what animal has

Mff. book then told of ' his ' im-'
pression of Helen ' Keller 'and 'said
thaj, when he saw her face, radiant,
withal intelligence he felt that .he
was, face to face with God, and that
s be considered her the most wonder
ful "woman In the, world except, her
teacher. Only two-fifths -" normal,
her intelligence surpasses that of
the.'majority of people with' their
five senses, and when she utters the
words ."There is nothing in life
worth' living tor except ministry,",
those who hear her how their heads
in shame thai they with their five
senses have' accomplTsTied so much
less, than, she.''
.THE FIRST CHAUTAUQUA
"The I first Chautauqua ", said Mr.
! Cook, "'was ; founded In Athens by
Plato,' With its gymnasium, Conner
vatory,8, and its series of lectures;
.It was" not,' called a ' Chautauqua,
but it had the. same departments
and the same aim, , Later philoso-
, phfcrs also founded similar institu
tions.' The American Chautauqua
was' founded at :' Chautauqua, New
York, and" now .extends all over the
country,.' , It payB a living , wage to
everybody, connected with .11, but it
1 labsolutely non profit sharing and
tion dividend paying. If anything
Is left at the end of the year, it is
put into making the noxt 'year's
,"' program "The Best Yet.'"
r ' , THE CHOIR BOYS
"When 'Mr. Cook had concluded
the Choir Boys came on the ..stage
sinking 'Jerusalem the Golden' as
the processional hymu. Then they
sang 'The Lost Chord' and a recess
ional hymn, Many in the audience
recognized Mr, Reed Wilkius who
sang here in concert last winter.
Master George Siebert, the re
markable boy soloist, next sang and
was heartily encored by the lar.;e
audience.
"Miss KaUinka" by the boys In
Dutch costume delighted tho ' au
dience, the grace of the young sex
tette giving almost as much pleas
ure as their voices.

boys appeared as Indian boys aul

charming, and 'The May Dance.' an
other beautiful song and dance con
eluded the afternoon program
which also included solos by the
baritone and by Mr. Wilkins as
well as a duet by those two.
So completely did the choir boys
win the hearts of the people that
everybody wished to do something
for their pleasure, and just after the
afternoon concert Rev. I. N. Lof
tin and Mellck Blades took tfiem
down the river for a swim.
The intercession before the even
ing performance was a short one
and the boys were first to appear

IS ALL OVER
BUTHOUTING
And Most Tar Heel Repub
licans Fail to Take Ear
ly Seat on Bandwagon
The Rebublican National Conven
tion, by an almost unanimous vote,
on Saturday afternooja nominated
Charles Evans Hughes. President,
and Charles Warren , Fairbanks,
'Vice President.
At the very moment when the re- j
suit of the third and last bal
lot In the Republican Convention
was being announced, the Progress- ,
lve Convention Convention had just
.nominated " Roosevelt for the Pres- '-,
idency. The Progressive candi- '
date for the Vice Presidency is :
Captain John M. Parker of Illonois.
ow ' He -
Cpon receiving Intelligence of
the Republican convention's action
Justice Hu'hes accented tHe nomi
nation by wire and ' immediately 1
afterwards filed his resignation
from the Suprejne Court Bench. '
This resignation has been accepted '
by President Wilson.
Colonel Roosevelt, when news of
his nomination by the Progressives '
was flashed to him. stated that he
would not immediately 'accept but
would awfilt Justi Hughea' de- 1
claration of his position on the
vital issues of the hour. The Re- '
publican nominee has Issued a state- 7
ment which sounds like, an echo, of 1
the Colonel's Inveighings A against
Wilson's administration; and It-
neems rwisonable (o believe that
the ! Progressives will rallr to
Haghes suppor'. In order that th i
ippposltlon to Wilson may ' not ba
divided. ; i , ,! .;
According to the reports of cer- 1
tain ' newspaper 1 correspondent ' (
Roosevelt was bitterly s disappointed
n the outcome,' of the Chicago con
ventions. having been confident
that there would be a great Roose
velt stampede in both conventions.
was never
able to develop any stren.;th. H :'
got only eighteen votes in the Re- 1'
publican convention on the first
ballot and his suggestion that thq '
two ccn volitions unle by nomlna- "
ting Lodge Was spurned by both f
assemblies. i
"The show",. says If. B. C.
Uryant. in yesterday's News and
Observer, l"is all over and tha '
North Carolinians played - their '
Cards wrong. A majority of the '
Tar Heel delegates opposed Hughes.
Some of them were very bitterly .
np)osed to him. On the final bal-
lot seven, Butler. Walser, Ward '
Seuwell, Tucker, Drlnson, .and Rob-. I
(nson voted for Senator Lodge,
while the rest of the delegates
supported Hughes. Those voting" ,
for Hushes were: -.' t
"Settle, Brltt, Lewis, Meekins,
'atrick, Bynum, Joyce, Cowles, .' ?
Linney, Dorsett, Harklns, Harris,
Roberts and Jones. - .'
The Tar Heels lined up with
the losing side before they came '
here.
"The, down and out boss, Carl
Duncan, helped to save some of tho "
delegates. Had it not been for " '
liim the entire delegation, with '"
the exception perhaim, of one or
(wo men, would have "gone wrong".
But a wise wink from Mr, Duncan
sent a number of delegates to the
Hughes band wagon on th first
ballot. Hughes received the votes'
of' Dan Patrick, Mr. Duncan's faith
ful friend Representative Britt, ex
Representative Cowles State Chair- ',
man, Linney, Harkins and Joyce.
These are fne mimes which will be
written there If Mr. Hughes should
be elected President.
'Mr, Duncan has not laughed for
nothing. Ile has come out ahead
In his contest with Marlon Butler
and be will be a power In case tho
Republicans win.
