LUCANIA THE NEW QUEEN.
DETHRONING THE PARIS.
FIFTYNlNE MINUTES TAKEN OFF THE
WESTWARD RECORD.
rHE BIG CUNARDER HAS WON THE sCEPTRE OF
THE SEAS ON HER SECOND TRIP. AND Full
FILLED THE PROMISE MADE BY HER
WONDERFUL MAIDEN VOYAGE.

The ocean steamship record has been lowered
again. Last night. a few minutes after 10
o'clock, the giant Lucania sped swiftly through
the rain and fog-covered seas and dropped
anchor outside the bar with the proud con-
sciousness tht she had wrested from the Paris
the palm so long held by her. To the wonder
ful triumph of her maiden record just month
ago she has now added the victory Of more
mature age. and stands to-day without peer
IN the list Of ocean flyers.
She has made the best maiden record ever
made; she has made the biggest twentyfour
hours run ever made; she has made the best

The News and Observer comment
ing on the undemocratic methods of
government in Rhode Island saws:
awe can tell them what is best to
be done, and in few words: Simply
eliminate such foolish provisions
from the Constitution, and let the
people elect their public servants at
the polls"
Is it possible that the News and
Observer means that? Is it in ia
vor of the people electing their Off
GERS? If that is good for Rhode
Island it ought to be good for North
Carolina. To be consistent the News
and Observer must now oppose the
present county government system.
We would like to know if it endorses
the proposition of THE CAUCASIAN
to have the members of the boards
of county canvassers elected by the
people of the respective townships.

by Anglo-American cable to The Landmark

ut may safely be assumed that the

to be an expensive experiment, which
no nation but America could with.
stand without involving itself in
much more serious trouble. .Th..
mischief already done cannot be re-
paired quickly, but the attitute of
suspicion so long maintained by in

gradually modified"
