OUR RALEIGH LETTER

NORTH cARoL1NA's SUMNER CAPITAL"
The gayest place in North Carol,na
for the next four months, and the most
comfortable and enjoyable, will be
Moreheai City-and when we say
Morehead City we mean OF course the
Atlantic Hotel there, which is the
biggest part of the Getty" and the
mecca of pleasure-seekers and tired
and WORKOUT business men and their
families on the hunt for a suitable
place to recuperate. For several years
the Atlantic has been one of the most
popular seaside resorts in the South,
but this season (and the season there
begins next Friday it will eclipse all
former records and vie and compete
in the splendor of its entertainment
with any similar resort North or South.
I hal talk to-day with Mr.. Bsaure-
gard Poland, the travelling represent
alive of the Atlantic, and in reply to
my inquiries anent the character OF
the guests and the terrltry to be
drawn on this season, he surprised Q
by showing me a partial list of the
BOOKINGS" he made lately in reserv-
ing accommodations for some OF the
best known public men and represent
alive business and professional men
(and their families, always in seven
States, viz, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala

ELECTOR WOOTEN.

The Democratic convention at Colds
boro last week made no mistake in
choosing TIC. Wooten, Esq, of Kins-
ton eiector for the Second district. In
his speech at the very late hour of the
night, or rather early hour in the
morning, seconding the denomination
of Mr.. Granger, he impressed the
convention with his strong presentation
Of Mr.. Grainger's claims. He spoke
with force and power, and was listened
TO with marked attention.
Mr.. Wooten as a lawyer stan Is we'll
IN the profession, is blessed with fine
physical vigor. strong and command
ing voice, and wherever he goes in the
district be will win votes for Demo-
cracy aud white supremacy. Mr.
Wooten Will be heard throughout the
campaign and his work will tell both
tor the amendment In August and for
Mr.. Kitchin's election IN November.

we're deafening, as they bad been al
most all night from various delegates,
but this time they were from Halifax
folks mostly. Northampton was called
and the answer came, Northampton

Then something broke lose.
After a long while something like
order was restored so that the roll call
was finished. It showed Gillian 983
and Kitchin 1924. 291 votes being the
whole number, and l46 being neces-
sary to nomination.
The morning sunshine was flooding
the world and bright day was already
upon the earth but the actors in that
convention thought little OF what was
going on outside of that ball for the
moment.
Mr.. Kltchin was called for and being
almost lifted from the rear of the hall
around to the platform, he came before
the convention and acknowledged the
honor, expressed his gratitude, and in
few ringing sentences for white
supremacy ana white mans govern
rnent, bowed himself away amid deafen-
Ing applause, and leaving the profound
impression that no mistake bad been
made in/the final stroke of the long
and tedious and toilful session.

was appointed

ACTION ON THE EXTRA SESSION.
We are beginning to make arrange

who will soon assemble IN adjourned
session, and it is to be hoped that eY-
cry Democratic member will be pres

While, Of course, no general legisla-
ton will be taken up, it is probable that
a few matters which urgently demand
attention just now will receive it,
Three of these are the passage of the
Textile School bill the legallzlng of
the State Primary tor Senator, and the
modification OF the law which unex-
pectedly compelled some of the lead
ing insurance companies to cease bus
mess in North Carolina-a result
never intended.

count of conflicting provisions in their

it's own. From the time
the Halifax county cOnVen-
ton on March 20 endorsed
Mr.. Claude Kitchin for Con-
yress, we have constantly
held that he would be NOM
mated. 1t was the last thing
we wrote and printed about
the matter last week, and
long before the paper had
reached more than hall OF
our subscribers, the work
was done as we predicted.
But we do not write undu-
" to exult over the victory.
Truly it was a victory for a
man Of Mr.. Kitchin's almost
youthful years to receive the
nomination to Congress over
much older and more expert
enced men. Neither do we
write to make effort at por-
traylng Mr.. Kitchin's great
powers to move the people,
or his peculiar fitness for the
grave and responsible duties
of Il representative OF the
Second district-these things
we have frequently mention
ed before. Neither do we write
in the spirit OF disparage-
ment OF any of his compel
tors; for truly they are all
able and efficient men as law
yers, scholars, thinkers, cam
paigners and champions OF
the peoples rights. They are
all known to our readers as
well as is Mr.. Kitchin.
But we write here to ex-
press for The COMMON
WEALTH, for the people OF
Scotland Neck and the dem
oracy of Halifax county, our
high appreciation OF the hon
which the Democrats OF the
Second district have confer
red upon Halifax county in
thus selecting her talented
and worthy young son, and
our we'll known and beloved
neighbour, as the standard
bearer OF Second-district
Democracy.
We thank the various coun-
ties and delegates who were
loyal to Mr.. Kitchin in the
convention at GoldsborO to
the end, and assure them that
Halifax county people will
ever remember them with a
heartfelt gratitude for their
support.
We as freely say to the
counties and delegates whose
votes were given to the other
candidates that we have
nothing but pleasant recol-
]ections of the severe contest.
We did not blame them for
standing by their choice as
loyalty and as tenaciously as
we stood for ours indeed we
could but admire the spirit
of true manhood exhibited
by them all in standing by
their friends and their prefer
ence for the honor. 1t was
truly a battle royal and with
courage and skill did they
all do their work.
There are echoes ringing
still from that convention
hall something like these up
on every roll call ofcounties:

car magnate and single taxer, is well

In front of the hotel where he staid
In London ON a recent visit there was
