The special session of the
Legislature seems practically
assured.
Despite his handsome fea
tures, Carpentier seems willing
to take lots of punishment.
Our passenger train railroad
facilities steadily retrogress.
Our only hope is in paved roads.
A $20,000 annex following its
first session indicates the rapid
expansion of the Weeksville
High School.
Fellow by name of E. B. Ware
haa been elected city manager of
Reidsville. Perhaps, after all.
there's something in a name. At
any rate, 'e should watch his
step.
Governor Morrison's appoint
ment of Judge Hoke to succeed
Judge Clark as Chief Justice of
? the Supreme Court of North
Carolina seems to be above cri
ticiam.
Out of the city Friday, Satur
day and Sunday, the editor re
turned to his desk to find this
newspaper had been Advancing
as usual. Few of us are as im
portant as we fancy ourselves.
Gerald Johnson, it is said, has
been offered the chair of jour
nalism at the University of
North Carolina. But if he ac
cepts it, what will anybody this
far from Greensboro want with
the Greensboro News?
Chautauqua tickets are now
available, and The Advance, as
usual, will be pleased to serve
you if you can more convenient
ly get tickets from us than else
where. It is best to act early,
however, as it frequently hap
pens that season tickets are
cojnpletely sold out.
Progress In the direction of a
detention home for Pasquotank
County is gratifying and indi
cates what can be done if only
we start something. But on the
principle that an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of
cure, does not Boy Scout worit
in Elisabeth City comfnend it
self even more favorably to
your support? The Advance is
glad to see the long labor on the
problem of juvenile delinquency
beginning to bear fruit, but we
hope that the people of the Old
Town will put themselves
behind scouting as wholeheart
as the city and County
Drities have put themselves

Convention To New York
Something Like A Circus
Democrats Will he Barred from the More Exclusive Cluhs j
of the City During Convention hut Anything from Hot
Dogs to Capon Can lie Bought in the Garden
By ftOBKRT T. SMALL.
(Corf It'll. ? ??. ?? Tk?
?New York, June 3.?Whtl? two
or three of the more exclusive clubs,
of this city are golug to bar all Dem
ocrats from their sacred premises,'
during the national convention the j
latter part of the mouth, this does
not mean that a proper provision Is
not to be ..made lor all delegates and
visitors. The clubs say they fear
overcrowding if guest cards are is
sued during pow waw at Madison
Square Garden. They are afraid that
some of the old boys who sit in the
windowH day ufter day and month
after month and watch the strollers
along the avenue might have their
inherited diversion interferred with.
Inhospitable as some of the clubs'
may be, the committee which is pre-!
paring for the convention has deter
mined that the folks from the hin-J
terlnnd shall be well fed and cared
for?at least while they are iu the I
convention hall proper.
The committee, (or instance, husi
provided that "hot dogs" shall bo J
purveyed at the garden to one and
all, and at the uniform price of 15.
cents per dog. Naturally the commit-1
tee is not flippant enough to refer to!
the animals as dogs. They are put,
down on the program as grilled'
frankfurters and this in itself ought j
to Justify the Increase from the us-'
ual price of a dime, the tenth part
of a dollar, to 15 cents, the con-]
ventlon rate.
Delegates from the pie belt?the
breakfast food of New hngland and
the dinner delicacy of the Middle
West?will be glad to know that I
their fruit is to be held down to the'
level of the lowly hotdog and will be 1
obtainable in any quantities at 15'
cents per slice. The size of the
slice has not been specified in the
contract, but the understanding is j
that if the ratio falls below six to
one?six slices to one pie,?Mr. Wil
liam Jennings iiryan or any one else
may rise to a point of order, or per
sonal privilege and stop the ballot
ing for a Presidential candidate un
til the pie scandal is thoroughly
threshed out.
Coffee, tea und milk are to be
provided at 15 cents a cup or goblet.
Thus it will be seen that so long as
any delegate or garden visitor is
possesed of 4 5 cents he can get a
square or three cornered meal of
dog. pie and beverage. But even If
he can only afford the grilled frank
furter, the dog ought to be able to
MOVING PICTURE FUNNIES
Cut out the picture en all four
sides. Then fold carefully dotted
line 1 Its entire length. Then dot
ted line 2, and so on. Fold each
section underneath. When com
pleted turn over and you'll find a
surprising result. Save the pictures.
keep the wolf froui the door.
Any delegate desiring to go into
the realm of the higher gestronomic
spheres will find a gradually rising
scale of prices. The ascent Is at no
times abrupt and the caterer has
given bond that he will make no at
tempt to gouge or profiteer. Piti
less publicity will beat at all times
upon his price list which must be
prominantly displayed. Chicken and
roast beef sandwiches will rate as
nigh as bo cents a piece. Near beer
will be knocked down for two bits
but plain common or garden soda
pop can be had for the fateful 15
cents.
Those who would sit down and
dine may have roast beef and baked
potatoes for a mere matter of $1.15.'
It is strange how that 15 cents ratio
climbs into most of the prices. How
ever. the fastidious who may desire
Philadelphia capon, chestnut dress
ing. carots, peas, saute potatoes and
compo, can have it all for $1.50.
?New York still Insists upon look
ing at the convention as something
of a circus or a six day bicycle race.
The food contract, for Instance stip
ulates that "nothing shall be sold
on the floor of the convention." Pea
nuts for the politicians of that stripe
must be bought in the outside corri
dors at 10 cents a bag. The peanut
concession was not in great demand
at the garden, for at this convention
there will be no elephant to feed.
It also is gravely announced that
"no intoxicating liquors" will be
sold, bartered or exchanged on the
premises.
