We boarded the train at Cincin-

ney of some eight thousand miles.
We began to talk of home and to go
over again the purchases we had
made as presents for our loved ones,
which reminds me.
Our car was made up of eighteen
North Carolinians and it was the GUS
tom each night for each one of us
to display what he or she had bought
that day and the prices thereof, and
to argue as to who got bargain and
who got stuck and by how much. So
far the joke had been on me for, for
while 1 thought I had got the bet
ter of a little Chinese girl clerk to
the extent of &c. but when l opened up
the packages on the train l found
that she had removed all Of the cost
marks and that she had stuck me for
Sc. But there came another night.
ol0iOh whose wife
was not on the trip, came in the train
and called all of us "boys" into the
smoker He showed us lot of cheap
bracelets and things that he had
bought at the five and ten cent store,
said he was going to show them to
the ladies and tell them what won
derful purchases he had made from
tourists stores and that these were
presents for his wife. He wanted to
know what the ladies would think
and say So all we men, looking like
Jurors in a murder trial, followed him
down the aisle to where the ladies
were. "See here" said he, "these are
all for my wife" The women said
the present were exquisite, lovely, gor-
gous. All of us men laughed and the
man said, "Why, they, cost ten cents
at the five and ten stores" We men
laughed some more. Whereupon the
women all said, "Why this is cos
tune ieyerly all of us wear it. this
goes with that color dress and that
goes with this color dress. Your wife
will be simply charmed" The man
said, Come on, boys" and we march
ed back, single file, to the smoker. We
went into a huddle. The man said,

Is it significant that the erstwhile
Yankee storekeeper's daughter, Edna

her two successive marriages to sons
of nobility a logical part of this
dream? And was her smile for Prince

Battle in BrunSWick-BrunSW1c
county's first primary passed off
peacefully, but the second voting has
resulted in contest probably unique
in the States history.
Eight candidates ran for county
commissioner nomination by the De-
moncrats. Only one received a ma
iority in the first voting, with three
seats at stake.
For some reason, peculiar to itself,
the county board declared not only
No, 1, but No. 2 in the list nominated
and put the names of and only on
the run-off primary ballot. No. 2 call
ed attention to this and asked that he
he put on the ballot also. The board
declined.
No. 4 got more votes than No. in
the run-off, but now No. insists he
is entitled to the third nomination
instead of No. 2, who was not on the
ha"ot.
Attorney General Harry MCMILLAN
has given an opinion that No. has
no such right, despite the county
boa rd's action in ignoring the law.
An appeal has been taken to the
State Board of Eelections and is Sci
to be heard Tuesday.
