GLENN FAVORS WILSON.
Ex-Governor Glenn, . who
was in Raleigh last week, ex
presed himself as confident of
the next president being elec ,!
ted: bythe -democrats.- v He
thinks the democrats are mak
ing history of a notable . char
acter in Congress just no w and
unless somebody did something
that; would make a . powerful
landslide towards the.' republic
can party. "the democrats have
the presidency -bagged right
now." He, however, realizes
that the democratic party is
not yet deep-seated-enough in
power to "stand many slips of
the. cog-wheels in the presi
dential ascendancy."
In speaking of the presiden
cy, be expressed himself as
favoring Governor Wilson for
the candidate. He said, how
ever, that the middle and" far
.west is Harmon teritory, but
says that" Wilson is growing
everywhere.
THE BAREFOOTED B0f. v'
The hookworm" business is
trying tointsrfere with the
barefooted boy, and the Win
ston Republican nghtfullv
takes up for the boy. It donH
believe in allowing. 'the- hook
worm to deprive the boys of
their greatest pleasure in life
going barefooted. Here is
what that paper says:
"The barefooted boy has
existed since the State -was
founded and may he continue.
There has always been danger
from stumped toes, broken
glass poisonous insects and
reptiles and other things . too
numerous to mention. The
"grouud-itch," alias the hoofed
worm is a new theory, possi
ble and probable, but rare, so
far as Our observation of near
ly half a century goes, and let
us hope not so milignant as to
take away from coming gen
erations the comfort and econ
omy, as well as the pleasure,
of going barefooted in the
good old summer time.
