REPORT THAT ELIZABETH CITY
is TO BE DEPRIVED OF RE-
PRESENTATION.

Elizabeth City county ana Hampton
have lust cause for alarm and resent
ment II there is any truth In the re-
mort that the Democrats OF Accomac
county. contrary to an unbroken Gus
tom, are preparing to name two
nominees for the house OF delegates
this wear and thereby deprive haif oil
the lower end Of the Peninsula OF re
presentation in the house.
From what can be learned. the
Democratic. committee of Accomac
has dealt fairly enough with the COM
mittee ON this side. and up to this
time there has been no official init
nation OF an intention to put man
from across Chesapeake bay on the
ticket as candidate for the 'foater
delegate nomination. 1t seems TO DC
fact, however, that faction In Ac-
comac said to be determined to send
Judge !. w. G. Blackstone to the leg
Isiatrre has started cry to the ell
feet that Elizabeth City has enjoyeu
the privilege of naming the 'fioater
long enough, and that it is time that
Acccmac should assert herself. The
question is whether or not the conf
mittee will fall into line with this
movement. or continue to. recognize
the fact that might does nor make
right, and abide by the established
custom.
Acccmac is the largest OF the SIX
teen counties composing the Firss
congressional district. 1t polls ire
mendous vote. with an overwhelming
Democratic majority. In fact. Acco-
macs majority is probably large
enough TO elect the congressional nom-
inecy no matter how badly he might
fare in the rest Of the district.
Hence IL is right that this great coun-
~ should have more representation In
the house Of delegates than is al
forded by a single delegate. For this.
and ether reasons. Accomac has, in
addition to its regular delegate. an In
terest in two 'fioater" delegates, one
OF the ~hoafers- representing Eliza
beth City and Accomac and the other
Northampton and Accomac.
Ia providing for these "ioaters.
the Obvious intention was TO have
che man named from Elizabeth City
and another from Northampton, both
Of the delegates so named to share
heir attention to the interests Of
their home counties with those OF Ac-
comac. " this were not the case,
Acth Elizabeth City and Accomar
might be deprived OF any direct re
presentation and would have to con-
tent themselves with a respective In
terext in two Aceomac county men.
On arcount Of its large vote. Ac-
ccmac county can. n Il 80 wills. elect

The bride elect is one of the attrac-

her friends by the score, while her
family is one prominent in the history
of the state. She has relatives in
Honolulu who are important in the
social life of the island, and her fance
is among the young men of his native
state who have made a name in the
business and social world
Miss Woodward has been entertained
almost constantly. since the announce
ment of her betrothal to the young
easterner. and the only regret that
has been expressed by the friends of
the bride elect is on account of her
plans for the future, which promise
that her home is to be in Dubuque.
The wedding is one of the important
events of the coming month on account
of the popularity of the bride and the
social prominence of the Woodward
family
