URO WING IN F1VOR.
We have strong hopes that before
two years roll around public senti
ment will have changed entirely in
favOr of primary elections. There
has been decided progress in that' di
rection during the year. A corres
ponding change during the next two
.years will cause that system to be al
most universally adopted. H We noted
two day ago that Wake county would
take a vote on the United States Sen
atorial question. We do not like this,
because we do not believe the people
should choose the Senator. 5 We have
given. our views at length before, and
will not- repeat. We mention the
Wake case to show the progress-
how it is believed the .- primary elec-
. tion system is the only fair., expres

Times thus notices her last novel:
''Christian Reid always writes pleasantly.
if not very profoundly, her style is fresh
and easy, her characters are nicely drawn.
and her plots, reasonably well constructed,
are worked out with a fair amount of skill.
Her latest production, "Bonny Kate," is a
good specimen of her work, and is a very
pleasant bit of summer reading. It is a
story of Southern: life, plantation life, a
trifle rose-colored,' perhaps, but not the less
agreeable oa that account, nor the : less
likely to find favor with the majority of her
readers."44' -l0:-: ,;i-f. ;.
