Question IN Cumberland.

Capt. j. B. Smith, chairman OF the Cum
berland Election Board, being interviewed
last night as to the report that the Elec-
tion Board of his county had refused to
call a white primary on the dispenSary
stated that The report was not true: that
he was in Fayetteville last Monday; that
they concluded to hold no meeting. as
they thought they had no authority IL.
act He saws that the members, though
differing on the dispensary, came to an
agreement to submit the matter to the
white voters, agreeing in true Democratic
spirit to follow their choice. That the
primary is already called, AMI that the

ferred to in the matter. ii1 not take il
up because they has no power. their au-
thcrity extending only to regular elections
that would include the whole qualified

He says there is considerable local ag-
tation over the matter, and that he does
not know which side will carry; that it
was an undemocratic measure forced on
the people of Cumberland when the flu
sionists were in control, and that it will
ever keep bobbing up until the people
are given the right to vote upon it and
settle it one way or the other; that there
are good men on both sides. and that he
is glad that the matter has been ad
justed by an agreement by the mem
bers from the county on a white primary,
and at the present time; That it is not
a party issue. but simply a moral one,
and that if not settled now may seriously
effect the general election and every
officer elected in the county two years
hence.
He further states as~showing the differ

in the county; that while Senator Mclean

is a fitting tribute to her ability that
she should be chosen to share this

Miss Howell is a young woman of
charming personality, thoroughly
equipped to take care of herself, and
represents North Carolina's progressive
young womanhood.

of the procession was seen coming up

Well, it's over now. and it was a great,
great day for North Carolina and for
Raleigh, and what's more, everybody
thought so and every body and his wife
or sweetheart was here, so it must be a
fact 1t was the bright, golden day to-
ward which the people of North Carolina
had struggled so far through the dusk
and gloom. And the day itself was typi-
cal of this feeling, with it's glorious bright
sunshine and clear. mild air. A more
perfect day for the occasion could not
have been picked out from Dame Ma
lures stock or hand.
Raleigh's streets had on their holiday
aspect, buildings were draped and deco
rated with the American flag and red,
white and blue buntings, and throngs of
people from out Of town and from in
town crowded the sidewalks. In fact, our
city enjoyed a fairly good slice of North
Carolina's population yesterday, and a
right coed sight it was. 1t is nightly
inspiring to see a great lot Of prosperous,
we'll dressed, happy people, all enjoying
themselves III honor of great popular
event. 1t makes a man feel how good it
is just to be living.
Now, we don't want to throw any
bouquets at ourselves, but we do want
to go down on record as saying that it
was a mighty fine looking lot of folks,
taken all in all. This includes the men
and women both. OF course, there is a
tremendous deal we might say more par
ticularly about the latter, but, to tell the
truth, there is really not space enough
in this issue. Then, too. this article is
supposed to give some sort of a descrip-
tion of the Inauguration proper, or rather
the inaugural ceremonies, for the ladies
play very important part in the inaugu-
ration What State officer-elect would
take the same keen interest in the cere-
mony if all those fair ladies were not
The soldier boys were a great factor,
too in the general sum total of "Inaugu-
ration Day" 1t certainly is lots of fun
for them to stroll about the streets i'll
their big hats and leggins, on a genuine
lark for whole day, with nothing to do
after the parade is over but link them
selves together arm in arm and see the
sights. How they do smile upon all the
world, and particularly the young
feminine part of it, Yesterday was no ex-
ception to all this. The soldier boys did
all the things soldier boys are supposed
to do.
Altogether. there was not one single
thing lacking to make the day absolutely
complete, not even the slight hitch in
the military program, occasioned by one
of the trains bringing troops being lit
tie late in arriving.
