THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH, PAGE SIXTEEN , i . i : : . JOHNSON STATES THAT HE IS OUT OF THE RUNNING Surrenders to McGlaughan : and Will Not Ask for Second Primary &AYS CITY SHOULD HAVE REPRESENTATION Withdrawing Candidate Made An Excellent Race But 'Favors City Candidate's Nomination COAST HI REPAIR WORK IN NEW BERN Orders That Part of Work Be Done in Norfolk South ern Shops In a statement given out Wednes day afternoon, Mr. J. Herbert John- son, successful and favorably known truck fanner of Cape Fear township, -who ran third in the race for county Vcommissionership, withdrew from the race, making a second primary, inso far as the commissionership is con cerned, unnecessary, and automatic- tally giving the nomination of Mr. W. UP. MCLriaUgHilU, wuu yuncu a " fetore t votes than he did in Tuesday's primary. His opinion and belief that the city should be on the same footing as the fcounty in the matter of members on khe board, his interest in the Demc icratic party, his kindly feeling toward iMr.- McGlaughan and his implicit con fidence in the ability of his opponent to handle all matters coming before him in an intelligent manner and for the best of the city and county and oinwillingess to put the county to. the marv. after Mr. McGlaughan had poll- t after Mr. McGlaughan had polled more votes than he had received, ac- uated him in making his decision. The action of Mr. Johnson was of a magnanimous nature and showed teyond the shadow of a doubt that he has the best interest of the party and (the county at heart. No one could possibly have blamed him had he in sisted on a second primary. He made a "rattling" good race and his action stampi him as among the best losers the countv has ever seen. Mr. John- ?son does not believe that it would be J right to ask the county to go to the additional expense of a second pri- ifinary because he jthinks the city Uhould have equal representation on :th.e board with" the county. Of the itwo vacant places on the board, the :city was entitled to one. Mr. Mc Glaughan was the only man within the confines of the city that was in the race. Mr. George W. Trask, suc cessful candidate, hails from the same township in which Mr. Johnson lives and were he to insist on a second pri mary and succeed in vanquishing his opponent, it would give Cape Fear two members on the board and cut t 3 city's representation at the same time. Mr. Johnson does not believe (Special to The Dispatch.) New Bern, March 20. A mix-up in shipping orders was responsible I or 25 carloads of lumber, which should have gone td a shipbuilding concern at Charleston, S. C, being sent to an other concern at Morehead City "a few days ago and today this big ship ment of lumber, containing thousands of square feet of timber, ' passed through New Bern en route to its proper destination, f Just how the mix-up in orders oc curred is not known and no explan ation" has tbeen attempted. There has, of course, been a delay of sev eral days in the rightful owners se curing their lumber, but this is now on the way to them. Although nothing definite has been giVen out in regard to the matter, and local railway men do not seem to know exactly what will be done, it is rumored that the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company has been or dered to hae all of the repair work done on the cars used on the New Bern to Wilmington division attended to at the local shops of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. It is said that this order came rfom Washington and that it would be put into effect within the course of a few days. The men at the local shops of the Norfolk Southern Company were today asked if the order had been transmitted to them and they stated that they had heard something in regard to it but this had not been definite. The repair work to the, cars on-the New Bern-Wilmington line is rather extensive and would consume consid erable time were it attended to at the local shops. John, a young son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Whitty, suffered a painful acci dent yesterday afternoon when he fell from the porch at the home of one of his young playmates and broke his left arm just above the wrist. The lad in some way lost his equil ibrium and fell backwards from the porch, landing on his left arm. Med ical attention was rendered as quick ly as possible and although he suf fered greatly last ' night, his condition this morning" was greatly improved and he was resting fairly well. Friends in New Bern are today greeting Rev. Bartholomew F. Huske, formerly rector of Christ Episcopal church, this city, but who is now a chaplain in the United States navy with headquarters at Norfolk, Va., and who is here for a short visit. Rev. Mr. Huske appears to be in better health than ever and that he is well pleased with his work in the navy there is not the least doubt. He will remain in the city several days. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, explorer, lecturer and the man who claims to have located the North Pole, left and so expressed himself that thiS;New Bf.rn tda after . making a most would be fair in any sense of the word and has decided to step down and surrender his rights to the other candidate. Mr. -Johnson is one of the most suc cessful farmers of the county and it goes without saying that he Vould have made a splendid commissioner. C:He is progressive, broad-minded and straightforward and his" action in the material t--."which he is made. ii . J 4 ' of CASES CONTINUED. Six Young White Men Charged With Assault Were Allowed Bond. The cases against Clarence Hew- interesting lecture in Griffin audita rium last night, a lecture which was .heard with interest by a fair-sized audience. Dr. Cook told in a most interesting way of his visit to the North and of the modes and customs of the people of that section of the world and his manner of narrating his trips was such that the attention of every one in the audience was held. ' As a whole, the lecture was one of the most interesting that has !sen heard in New Bern in many days. .lett.
