Kinston, April 11—The two queens from cities of Eastern North Carolina receiving the largest vote in the balloting at the Exposition last night were announced this morning. They are Miss Mary Alice Smith, who represented Ayden, and Miss Edna Spencer, who represented Lenoir county, in which the city of Kinston is located. Under the arrangement carried out, there were two contests, one for Lenoir or Kinston, and the other for cities and towns outside Kinston. A number of the beautiful young ladies were entered by their towns and cities, and from all accounts the voting was a close proposition. Miss Smith is a student at the Atlantic Christian “College in Wilson.
Handsome diamond rings are to be awarded to Miss Smith and Miss Spencer, and the presentation will take place tonight just before the starting of the great pageant, which will be presided over by the two beautiful young ladies thus honored.
In the Lenoir contest, Miss Doris Crawford was second and Miss Marie Merston third.
