Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro. n. c.. July 11.-There
was of course, some disappointment
here at the failure of the Governor
to appoint any Greensboro man on
the board of directors Of the Nofth
Carolina Railway. While there We're
several applicants from Greensboro, II
had been generally understood lhat
Mr.. Phil Pope, an intimate friend OF
General Glenn, and a most popular
travelling man, would secure the rep
resentation from Greensboro which has
been denied for several administra-
tons. The publication OF l.. M.
Micheaux, retired, as coming from
Greensboro is a mistake, as Mr.
MicheauX is a Goldsboro man.
The general remark here is that
Governor Glenn has made capital Sc
lections, all of the appointees beng
men far removed from that character
who sought the position simply to
make merchandise Of the dollars
saved in their particular business III
getting railroad transportation free OF
charge.
Another comment favorable to Gov
ernor Glenn is his appointment or
Mr. Nandiford of Salisbury. The com
ment was that Bob Glenn showed
thereby that he would not sacrifice
tunes, that Vandiford and Glenn be-
came attached while in the revenue
service and his appointment from
Rowan county, where the Governor
could not expect to make any lnroads
against Senator Overman, should ne
become a candidate for the senate,
showed that he was one politician who
remembered his friends when, by lS-
noring one in this instance, he could
hp1 ri
of further contest between himself and
Senator OVerman."
