HEARTY WELCOME FOR GLENN.

We hope the democrats of New Han
over county will make fitting arrage-
ments TO give Hon. r. B. Glenn. our
candidate for governor. a rousing r.
ception when he comes here on Sep
tember 5th to make a campaign speech.
Mr.. Glenn is not unknown to the peo-
pie % Wilmington. He has SPOKEN here
twice at least, and. perhaps, oftener
be has many warm personal and pr
htical friends here. The fact that he
did not get as ingle vote ON This
county n the democratic state convcn
ton should not be taken to show that
he had no following here, for such was
not the case, but under the plan Of The
majority rule the entire vote Of the
county was cast for the candidate
Those friends were in contro Of the
county convention.
We do not want Mr.. Glenn, when he
comes to our city, to feel that, becaus-
he did not ecu a single vote from
the New Hanover delegation in tne
state convention, he is among stra1-
gers or men who were opposed to his
nomination. There are mani here
who preferrd him to any other Of ,ne
aspirants, and Of those who supported
his most formidable opponent there
was none who opposed him for any
other reason than their personal pref
erence for an old Wilmingtonian, and
we feel sure that Mr.. Glenn will re-
ceive no heartier welcome nor more
earnest support than from these same
men who supported his chief antago-
mist in the race for the nomination.
Wilmington, we know, will give him a
heart welcome.

THE INEVITABLE PRIMARY.

The inevitable primary" IS the way
The Charlotte News speaks of it. We
are glad to see this. The primary prop
erly conducted is the fairest way TO
nominate candidates. Unless hedged
bout with proper regulations and
rules, made operative by laws with
penalties for violating them attached.
there VIII De fraud and unfairness. just
as there are in manipulated county
conventions. But what we advocate.
and We suppose The News also. is a
primary election held under as strict
laws as are conducted h regular cleo
tons.
We are not surprised that there have
been complaints against the results OF
some OF the primaries recently held,
when in certain instances men have
boosted that they cast fifty votes al
such elections. This is no argument
against the primary system establish
ed on a legal basis. In theory the pri-
mary is the fairest way to nominate
candidates, and 1t can be made entire
ly practical by proper legislation. In
this way every man who chooses 10
take part in his party's selection of
candidates has the proper weight given
to his expression of opinion through
his ballot, and every aspirant for a
nomination gets his proportionate part
in the contest of the party strength
We hope The News and other papers
of the state which favor this mode of
nominating our candidates will keep up
the fight until the legislature can be
induced to adopt a legalized plan for
primaries in every county in the state.
AS The News intimates, the chief op-
position to this plan comes from con-
vention m~anipulators and the people of
those counties who have tried the pri-
mary without any restrictions to pre-
vent frauds by those very persons who
wish to create a prejudice in the public
MIND against the legalized primary.
The primary is the safest thing for
the democratic party in this tate. II
would do more to head off the increas-
ing independentism in the party than
any other measure that could be devils
ed. Once put in practice, the voting
masses of the party would at once rec
ognize its fairness and would never be
willing to go-back to the ring-rule and
boss-manipulated convention plan.

We are quite sure that a lease to GER

THE SITUATION AT SHANGHAI.

IT seems from the statement OF the
authorities that there was nothing
whatever in the fact that the torpedo
boat destroyer followed the japanese
warship into the harbor to cause any
excitement at all; that she went there
for the purpose of carrying dispatches.
Well, she may have carried dispatches,
and we have no doubt that she did 1t
looks rather strange, though, that as
oon as the japanese boat was seer
steaming for the port the American
boa should have put out after her,
and when she reached the harbor
should have anchored between the
warships of the two hostile nations.
Her purpose may have been only to
carry dispatches, out the result of her
action made it impossible for the jap
anese torpedo boat destroyer to fire
upon or send a torpedo against the
Russian cruiser if it had any intention
of so doing. We are glad to see that
the Japanese government does not
look upon the action of the Chaun-
cey as meddlesome Interference on
the part of the American authorities.
While we suppose our naval authori-
ties at the scene would not allow the
Japanese warships to destroy or in
jure American property in this port
in an effort to sink or capture the
Russian warships it is useless to raise
thai contention with a friendly power
until occasion arises. If the truth
could be known we have no doubt it
would be found that some such ideas
as those were the cause of the Chaun-
cey fastening to Shanghai with dis
patches at the time of the entry of the
harbor by the Japanese boat.
The arrival of these two warships
has had the effect of causing the Rus
slams to suspend the repairs or their
vessels which they had been making
under protest from the Chinese gov
eminent and it is probable hat after
the action which has been taken by
the representatives of the foreign pow

,leCONPLIMENT TO CAMPBELL.

The recent acceptance of regu- lar employment in the legal de- partment of the Iron Mountain railroad by Hon. Silas D. Camp bell of Newport, one of the brightest members of the bar of North Arkansas, recalls an incl dent that occurred here at the last September term of circuit court.
 Campbell was the leading at torney for the plaintiff in the suit of Tomlinson against the rail road, which aroused much local interest. Gray Carroll of Little Rock represented the railroad. The suit was for damages for a severe wound in the head and hinged largely upon expert medi- cal testimony, several physicians appearing on each side.
 Campbell had prepared his case thoroughly and put the doctors on each side through an examina- tion that would have done credit to the dean of a medical college. Campbell won a decisive victory. the jury giving his client a yer, dict for $15,000. Carroll is a game loser and that night when he said goodbye to his success full opponent he paid him a very handsome compliment. Camp bell, said he, If you will locate in Little Rock as a physician l will give you my family prac- tice. '
 The railroad company soon after concluded it needed such a combination of law and medicine in it's own business. -Batesville Guard.
