ARM0RY HALL.
Selected as the Place for Hold

tito Norfolk-AdditionaiF Funds Needed
by tho Committee.

The committee having In hand the
preliminary arrangements for the com.
Ing State Democratic Convention to be
held at Norfolk Wednesday and Thurs
day. May I'd and Sd. has wisely secured
for Its sessions the most suitable place
in Norfolk. Armory Hall. The Acad-
envy of Music is far too small for such
4 gathering as will then assemble in
Norfolk, and the use Of 1t on this oc-
casion would have given our guests a
decidedly poor opinion of our ability
to properly take care of large gather
ings
The Moody meetings, the Bourke
Cochran meeting and the meetings
when thousands listened with rapt at
tention to Democracy's champion, Will
liam Jennings Bryan, amply demon
strated that nowhere In Virginia is
there such suitable place for great
public gatherings as Armory Hall
On such an occasion as this that will
mark an era in our history it is the
proper and wise thing to put our best
foot foremost and show our thousands;
of guests that Norfolk knows how and
is able TO properly entertain the guests
that she invites to enjoy her hospltali-
ties
Now the proper thing is for all to
join together and see that the Demo-
cratic Committee has ample financial
support in its efforts to maintain the
standing of the city. The committee
will need about $500. and this sum
should be quickly and easily raised
among our public spirited citizens
The opportunity is IL most brilliant
one, for. at Il nominal expense. the city
can entertain the convention In
splendid style. This happy condition is
largely due to the public spIri: Of The
Norfolk Elks, who have kindly consent
ed to release the hall for the period
needed by the convention. Occur;!n.;
as 1t does. in the IIllks' Carnival period,
this Is a most graceful courtesy on the
part of Norfolli's Elks.
The hall will be in better condition
for Convention uses than ever before,
as the Carnival booths around the sides
will be left standing and used for COM
mittee-rooms and headquarters for the
leading delegations
Armory Hail to-day presents n more
beautiful spectacle than ever before
and with bunting galore banners of
welcome. flags i'm profusion and both
hands extended In hearty welcome, our
visitors should all feel mt home The
thing to do now is to give the commit
tee proper financial support and helm
make Norfolk one OF the great Conven-
ticn cities of the South. Every great
gathering of this character leaves thou
sands OF dollars in the city and spreads
widely the fair name of Norfolk.

a Difficult Task Done.

Mr.. Edward Camp, chairman of the
Special Committee on Sidewalk I'M
provement. said yesterday that his
committee had about finished it's work,
and would report an ordinance to the
Common Council next Tuesday night
The work of the committee has been
tedious, and great many difficulties
have been met with, but Mr.. Camp be-
lieVes the ordinance, which will be re-
ported. will give general satisfaction.
In brief it provides for the city taking
immediate charge of the sidewalks. re-
curing abutting property owners to lay
the original sidewalk where none now
exists. the city to keep all in repair and
to superintend the work of laying the
new sidewalks.
The ordinance which will be recon-
mcnded, and doubtless adopted, is the
elimination of the work toward side
walk Improvement started by the
Councils four years ago.
