the nation are on Maine. The result
os the election in this state today will
be significant. 1t is the straw that

that the people are satisfied with the

licans declare that Governor Hill will
be reelected by the largest majority
ever polled in the state.
The close of the campaign came
Saturday with political gatherings in
nearly every city and town in the

unusually vigorous, particularly on
the part of the democrats. The work
of arousing the voters began nearly a

The Jarvis Portrait.

Inspired by patriotic spirit Mrs.
w. S. Parker, chairman OF the North
Carolina Room OF the Confederate
Museum in Richmond, undertook
some time ago to raise funds to secure
a portrait of Senator Vance to be
placed in said room. Our readers
will recall that at the annual cOnven-
ton of the North Carolina Division
of the United Daughters OF the Con-
federacy in Charlotte last year this
portrait was formally presented and
accepted and later it was placed III
the North Carolina Room in Rich
mond where it now hangs, the pride
and glory OF all North Carolinians
who look upon it.
That object having been accom-
plished Mrs. Parker set to work to
raise funds for portrait Of Senator
Jarvis to be placed beside that OF
Senator Vance in the Confederate
Museum. At the convention OF the
State Division, Daughters OF the
Confederacy in New Berne last week
she raised $1,000 for this purpose
and ere long a handsome portrait o
another of Cardinals noble sons vii

Room.
