H. A. LONDON, Editor,
WEDNESDAY. JUNE 7. 1916.
There was more newspaper
advertising among the candidates
for the nomination at the last pri
mary than had ever been in this
state in any political campaign.
The newspapers received more
revenue than in any campaign in
this state- This is especially true
of the papers in the seventh con
gressional district, in which there
were four very active candidates
for the Democratic nomination,
and they all used printers' ink
quite freelv in advertising their
claims.
Tht greatest naval battle in
all history was fought last Wed
nesday in the North sea, off the
coast of Denmark, between the
German and British fleets. The
Germans began the battle, hav
ing suddenly emerged from their
harbor in which thev had re
mained idle ever since the war
began. Both sides claim the vic
tory, but there was nothing de
cisive. Several men-of-war were
sunk and several thousand offi
cers and seamen were killed and
drowned, and yet no substantial
results accrued to either side. It
was apparently a bloody but un
decisive battle.
The manner of fighting was so
very different from that in an
cient times. The greatest naval
battle of ancient times was that
of Salamis. in which the fleet of
Pompey was destroyed and he
sought safety in flight. In that
battle the ships were very sm. 11
and propelled by oars and the
fighting was at close quarters.
In this last naval fight the men
were never near enought to see
each other and the ships were
several miles apart.
The commencement exercises
last week at the University were
among the most pleasant that it
has ever been our privilege to at
tend. The weather was very fa
vorable, for, although there were
showers part of Tuesday, yet
there was never a more delight
ful day than was Wednesday,
which is the "big" day o com
mencement. The showers of the
preceding day had laid the dust,
which generally is very unpleas
ant, and had cooled the atmos
phere. The Memorial Hall was
never more crowded, every avail
able space in that commodious
structure being filled, and hun
dreds not able to gain admit
tance. The address of the Secretary
of the Treasury was the shortest
ever delivered on such an occas
ion, being only twenty minutes,
and it was a most timely one,
being devoted to the advocacy of
closer relations with the South
American republics. Every sen
tence was carefully considered,
because, occupying the position
he does, every word would be
closely scrutinized in both North
and South America. He plainly
showed how it would k.e to the
best interests of the western
hemisphere if all the govern
ments therein could be closelv
identified in their business and
political relations and work to
gether for the common good of
all. The present war in Europe
opens the door of opportunity
for a closer union between the
American republics.
The reunion of the classes was.
as usual, much enjoyed not only
by the members thereof but by
all the visitors. Gen. J. S. Carr
"reuned" all by himself as the
class of 1866, and again show
ed his devotion to the University
by making a gift of a scholar
ship to one member of every jun
ior class, which scholarship is
valued at $4,000. The class of
1911 attracted more attention and
created more amusement than
any other, as fifty of them were
present and presented quite an
attractive appearance dressed in
in sailor's costume and perform
ing many "stunts."
At the meeting of the trustees
a motion was made to increase
the salary of the president of the
University and it would un
doubtedly have been adopted if
he had not earnestly requested
that it should not be. This is so
rare for any officer of any insti
tution, or anvbody else, to de
cline an increase in his salary
that it deserves special mention.
The birthday of President Jef
ferson Davis was observed last
Saturday with impressive cere
monies at Washington City. It
seems almost incredible that
speeches were made in the House
of Representatives in eulogy of
him, and at the Arlington national
cemetery speeches were made,
and the graves of the Confeder
ates there were decorated with
flowers. Among those attend
ing the ceremonies was Presi
dent Wilson. Who would have
predicted such a scene fiftj years
ago?.
Ths official vote cast last Sat
urday for state officers is not yet
counted, but enough is known
from unofficial returns that the
following nominations have been
made:
For Governor: T. W. Bickett.
Secretary of State: J. Bryan
Grimes.
Treasurer: B. R. Lacy.
Corporation Commissioner: W.
T. Lee.
Insurance Commissioner: Jas.
R. Young.
Commissioner of Agriculture:
W. A. Graham.
Commissioner of Labor and
Public Printing: M. L. Shipman.
No one seems to have received
a majority for Attorney-General,
but Hon. James S. Manning is so
far in the lead, that no other can
didate will ask for a second pri
mary. There was no nomination for
Congressman in the sixth and
seventh districts. In the form
er Godwin leads with Joseph A.
Brown next, and in the latter
Hon. L. D. Robinson is ahead
with Mr. U L Spence next.
Judge W. P. Stacy was nomi
nated for judge of the eighth
(Wilmington) judicial district.
If Mr. Bickett and Mr. Linney,
the Republican candidate for
Governor, should agree to have
a joint canvass of the state it
would be a very interesting one,
for both are able speakers and
debaters.
The campaign that preceded
the primary election of last Sat
urday was remarkably f reo from
personalities and bitterness, and
was creditable to the candidates
for the nominations. So far as
we have any knowledge there
will be no ill feeling among the
defeated candidates although
much disappointment, especially
among those who were so cer
tain of being nominated. The
friends of the defeated candi
dates should now. and until the
November election, do their ut
most to elect the nominees, and
give to them the same cordial
support that they would have ex
pected to be given their favor
ites, if they had been nominated.
We have had a friendly contest
in the "family" and now we
must unite in the contest against
the common enemy. Let all
Democrats remember that "we
be brethren" and act accordingly.
The death of Col. John S.
Mosby removes one of the most
noted officers in the Confederate
army. He died on Tuesday of
last week at Washington, where
he had been residing for some
time. He was a regularly com
missioned officer in the Confed
erate army and his soldiers were
regularly enlisted, so that they
were not guerrillas, as has been
often said. He commanded an
independent command that oper
ated between Richmond and the
Potomac river generally in the
rear of the Union army. He and
his men were familiar with all
that country and would attack
the enemy when and where least
expected, and then escape to
safety. He and his men were
held in much fear by the enemy
because they made such success
ful raids, swooping down on de
tached forces and after capturing
or putting them to flight they
would mysteriously disappear.
All wagon trains hauling sup
plies to the Union army were
heavily guarded in order to pre
vent Mosby from capturing them,
and thus his small force succeed
ed in keeping several thousand
Union soldiers guarding wagon
trains instead of being with the
main army and engaging in the
battles. So hated and feared
was he that the enemy threaten
ed to hang him if captured, and
yet after the war President Grant
gave him a federal office.
The death of Lord Kitchener
is a very serious loss to England
and her allies in the European
war. He was one of the great
est military men England has
ever produced and will take rank
with Marlborough and Welling
ton. He with his staff were all
drowned yesterday by the sink
ing of the British cruiser Hamp
shire by a mine or torpedo, while
sailing off the West Orkneys. It
seems peculiarly sad that this
great man should drown like a
rat in a trap!
The Republican national con
vention is being held this week
at Chi -ago. It is largely attend
ed and much interest is taken in
its work. The two leading can
didates for the nomination for
President are Judge Hughes and
ex-President Roosevelt. The lat
ter stands a double chance of a
nomination. If not nominated
by the regular Republican con
vention he will be nominated by
the Progressives, and thus re
peat what was done in 1912, when
after being defeated in the regu
lar Republican convention by
Taft he bolted and was nominat
ed by the Progressives.
The Democrats will hold their
convention next week and will
renominate Wilson without oppo
tion. What is now thought of the
primary bv the voters of this
state? Such a law has been clam
ored for by some persons for a long
time, and now that we have had
some practical experience with
it they are not so eager for its
continuance- While it is all right
in theory for the peoole to ex
press their choice at a primary,
yet it (Joes not seem to work so
satisfactorily in practice. We
doubt if a majority f the voters
of this state wish for a continu
ance of the present primary law.
We would like for them to have
the opportunity at the next elec
tion to express their wishes on
this subject. A separate box
might be kept at the polls at the
November election in which the
voters, regardless of politics,
might deposit their ballots for or
against a continuance of the
present law.
England Restricts Liquor.
London, June 4. Beer, tobac
co and whiskey are to be further
restricted as a precautionary
measure in connection with the
general scheme of war economy.
It is stated now t at the min
istry of munitions intends to pre
vent all whisker distillation, ex
cept such as intended for the
production of a byproduct, prob
ably alcohol, which isu9ed in the
manufacture of explosives.
The board of trade announces
that in view of the increasing
scarcity of tonnage it has with
drawn its proposal to grant li
censes for the importation of to
bacco purchased before February
15. It is, however, willing to
grant licenses for the importa
tion of tobacco purchased be
tween June 1, 1916. and May 31,
1918, strictly for home consump
tion not exceeding one-third of
the quantity imported during
1915. This does not apply to to
bacco for export or for tobacco
for dispatch to the troops. As
the st:cks held in this country
amount to about two years' ordi
nary consumption, however, there
is not likely to be any serious in
convenience to smokers.
The rly and the Trap.
From the Cha lotte Observer.
The town of Lumberton is try
ing to exterminate the fly by
means of traps- Fifty or more
of these contrivances have been
placed about town and the Robe
Ionian is delighted with results.
These traps, it says, "aro de
stroying millions of flies each
week.'. Very likely true. Mean
time, the people of Lumberton
must not lose sight of the fact
that millions of new flies will be
on the job each week. The fly
trap and the fly paper merely
serve to' keep down the surplus
population and to give tempora
ry relief. It is good for a town
to catch and kill all the flies pos
sible, but no town that does not
go after the seat of the trouble
