Meanwhile the first rescuers had gone to work Jtericusly with shovels aud for a second time Larson'* head' and shoulders were brought Into the' air. He was unconscious but gasping for breath. And as he drew the air Into his lungs and began to revive to the extent of opening his eyes and begging the men not to lose a second for fear of a third c^o-in, that Which | he feared occurred.

The New* & Obeerver of August 19. ha* the following edi torial on tb > subject. Bight year* ago tha editor of The News and Observer suggested a plank Hi fhn emocrau-- i>latform favoring a legalized primary In North Carolina which van adopted. In tb*: legisla ture that followed. Senator Cameron Morrison Introduced a hill providing for a. legalized primary, and the News Observer stood with Mr. Morrison In behalf of that reform measure, but many of iho leaders oC both part ies oppoaed it. and others doubted Its wisdom for the wholo State, It, was defeated. Since^tlftn Mecklen burg under the leadership of Herlot Clarkson. paaesd a legalised primary act with what result? Its Democratic majority has grown until it is the banner Democratic county in North Carolina. The legalized primary did not give this majority, but It that such method of ascertaining the will of the voters tends to strengthen rather than to weakon the part)-. Durham. Guilford, Wake and half a dozen other counties have adopted the legalized primary and no bad re sults have followed. There are ob jections tQ the primary, undoubtedly, but there are more objections'to the mass meeting and the county and I precinct conventlona. In the old times iwhon precincts were wont tD send their best men uninstructed to the eouhty convention, tht ws the best system ever devised. But times have changod and the voters generally in struct their delegates, and we hare very few of those old tlm* delibera tive conventions. The nominating conventions of the old style must pass"as did th? electoral college, and we must come to the primary?and that "means a legalized primary tor all parties t0 ho held on the same day regulnet'i hy'tho State authorl At the last meeting of the state Democratic. Executive Committee Mr. J. J. Field Introduced a resolution galling upon the General Assembly to enact a State legalized Primary law. There was opposition to it, and upon the motion of the editor of this paper whS stated that the time bad come when-the State should have a legal I iised primary, the raaatytlon" vras not? acted Upon, but it will come up for I consideration at,the next meeting of | the committee. Since then Deaufort, I Wilson and other counties have I ed refolutlosn in favor of* a legalized primary, and the long drawn out con 1 ventlons have emphasized the danger < of continuing a system having the I seeds of producing such friction and I trouble. I There la but one egallzed primary I law to be considered?It Is the one I In operation in Wisconsin, Nebraska, I Missouri. Oklahoma. Kansas, Iowa. H and nearly all the Southern State? I a law requiring primaries to be held ? on the same day by all parties,' the ? cost of the same to be paid by the H State Just as the cost of holding ? regular election. The laws In these H States are not exactly alike, but the H principle is the same, and the legis lature should atudy them all and give H North Carolina the best one.f HOME FROM EUROPE.

An interesting Item concerning a water transportation line between the city of New Bern and Philadel phia recently appeared In the Phila delphia ledger, and In the New York Jonrnal of ommerce. These papers announced that the experiment of the barge line between New Bern aud Philadelphia had been so suc cessful that a steamboat line would shortly follow. These papers refer to Mr. W. ?. Robertson formerly of New Bern, who represents J. B. Blades, a large lumber operator In North Carolina. The operation of a steamboat line between New Bern and Philadelphia would be very much hampered by the restricted >-ze of the canals between Albemarle Sound and Norfolk and by the Chesapeake & Delaware canal, and also by the Im position of tolls through both of these canals, and It may be that the pro jected steamboat line will have to wait until Congress provides a free waterway and enlargei and improves the same. This interesting item of formation shows nt least the trend of commercial seutlment towards the Intra-Castal Waterway and i* an in dication of the large things which | may be expected in the way of the |devel<u>ment of water transportation, iwhen proper waterways afford the op iportunity.
