TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1916
Well, the Wrightsville publicity campaign is on in
earnest. Cowan has opened up at last and makes it
known that the "blue ribbon summer resort of the South
Atlantic coast" will start its 1916 season next week.
The Old North State is honored beyond measure this
year by the visits of o many of 'the nation's foremost
men. President Wilson, Vice-President Marshall, Secre
taries Daniels, McAdoo, Lane and others have lent their
presence to our various State and educational ceremon
ies. . v
The BlackstonoiVa.) Courier has just issued a twenty-four
page ; Progress Edition. Mr. II. C. Scott, who
assisted a getting out The Freeress's Opportunity edi
tion last year, assisted Editor Land in compiling a very
iutcresting paper. , The marketiacilities for handling
tobacco and other, crops of the Nottoway section were
splendidly exploited, 'and the edition gives credit to
Blackstone and the Courier,
What will Kinston do with reference to its city gov
ernment? is the question which well may be In the minds
of every citiren. Will the peopH'tf Kinston be content
to continue year after year to pay out a thousand dol
lars in a mayor's salary and permit the duties which
ought to be performed by that official to be placed upon al
dermen, who are not themselves compensated adequately
for executive duties?
-
The dear peoplo who may be suffering from the exces
sively hot weather, politicians and other seasonable an
noyances may console themselves by the realization that
the crop of political solicitors will be largely eliminated
after this week. This being the final week of the first
campaign in the State preceding a eta'ie-wide primary
behooves every good citizen tojgi've some thought to the
matter if they have not already made their choices for
the various offices that are to be filled. If the wrong
men are elected the people Have only themselves to
blame. .
The following very kind words are taken from the es
teemed New Bern Sun:
"Kinston is to have a new union passenger
station soon and the residents of that town are
mightily pleased over this matter. Kinston is
fast forging to the front, faster than a number
of towns in this section, and we would not be
surprised to fee it one of thejltadcrs of the State
before many, years have passed."
We can very easily ' return the compliment ami con
gratulate New Bern on the splendid progress that it is
making.

The spectacular contest for National Democratic Com
mitteemen from ' Virginia, which has been waged for
some weeks past between Representative Carter Class
and Col. Rorer James, has suddenly been brought to an
end by the withdrawal of Mr. James. It is understood
that 'Ma James withdrew after having been promised the
chairmanship of the State Democratic Committee. Mr.
Glass denies any knowledge of such an agreement, so
does Governor Stuart. All the leaders are visibly pleas
ed, however, with the harmony stroke which Congress
man Flood is said to have brought about by withdrawing
himself from the race for, State Chairman. The conven
tion at Roanoke will therefore be a tame affair, to what
was promised a few days ago when the supporters of
Messrs. Glass and James were in such a fever of excite
ment. COMMISSIONERS DRAFT RESOLUTIONS.
In criticising the convict system in Lenoir County in
Superior Court last week, Judjre Bond said that it did
not appear that the commissioners had ever formulated
any rules or published uny in accordance with the 1913
public laws of North Carolina. The only action, it ap
peared, that had been taken. Judge Bond said, was the
passing of a resolution empowering the road superin
tendent to adopt such rules and regulations as he saw
fit and that it did not appear that any rules whatsoever
had been posted for the information of the convicts.
Monday afternoon the commissioners held a special
meeting and drafted rules, which it appears from a cas
ual reading, should materially improve the working con
ditions for the convicts. The rules are specific and it
is understood Hhat each and every convict is to be made
acquainted with them before he is subjected to punish
ment for violation. It is safe to predict that the service
from the convicts will under 'Ihe revised order of things
be much more satisfactory. The rules requine all pun
lnhment to be administered cither hy the road superin
tendent or in his presence and under his direction. That
rhould insure not only a fair hearing but humane treat
ment in the inflicting of punishment.
The Free Press felt that Judge Bond's firm stand
against the barbarous methods, alleged to have been
permitted in the handling of the convicts, would result
in good and the prompt action of the commissioners but
bears out that prediction.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE CONTEST ENDS.
Richmond News Leader: "The withdrawal of Colonel
Rorer A. James from the contest for national committee
man is due to two reasons: Party leaders were anxious
to avoid discord during the presidential year and, second
ly, they were unwilling to appear before the people of
Virginia as sponsoring a movement that would deprive
the State of the services of a most capable man in a
position for which he was peculiarly qualified solely be
cause he was not in sympathy with the dominant fac
tion in the state.
"We shall noli, attempt to gauge the relative import
ance of these two motives as they actuated party lead
ers. Where harmony is not bought at the price of honor
and efficient public service, it is always desirable, and
never more so than during a year, when even a surely
Democratic State wishes to present a united front. None
welcomes harmony under such circumstances more than
does this newspaper.
"Time alone will tell whether the withdrawal of Col.
James' name, for begrudging concession to propriety and
public, opinion or, whether it indicates a new willingness
on the part of Democratic leaders to avail themselves of
true ability, it maltters not where it may be found. If
Col. James was asked to forego his ambition because
party leaders felt they could not afford to brook the
growing sentiment in behalf of Mr. Glass, then the re
result will ncC be any lasting lessening of factional feel
ing in Virginia. But if one Democrat was urged to tep
aside bucause a better-equipped man could be had, then
a precedent has been set that may be of the greatest im
portance in unifying Virginia Democrats.
"This newspaper has never believed there was any
peculiar virtue in the name 'machine' or 'anti-machine.'
We never have and we never will recognize the vested
right f any group of men to public office. We shall
nlways concede the right of Col. James or any other hon
est man to run for any office he desires. We only de
mand that Uhe party support the best men who offer and
that it make the test service to the people, not subser
vience to a faction, ability to lead, not amenability to
follow."

Hickory Record: The Winston-Salem Journal, which is
supporting Attorney General Bickett for the nomination
for Governor, endeavors to argue for its candidate by as
cribing uKcrior motives to Lieutenant-Governor Daught

attorney general. As between the two men, we can find
nothing to enthuse over. iNeither is specially brilliant,
