GREATER AND ENLARGED HAmp,

After many years the former vii
laRc of Hampton has come into its
own. II has broken down It's confines
aud Is now in n position to hold It's
head as high us any city of the sec.
ond class in the state. Tho greater
and enlarged Hampton means n beno-
III TO all of its residcnts, and they are
to be congratulated that the happy
outcome has at last been arrived at.
Az n town. Hampton was not pro.
gressiye, II wanted to be, but there
was no room for progression. II was
penned up by narrow limits ana could
not grow any more, but IN the mean
time adjoining sections were Icing
benefited by the prosperity of lamp
ton, and ii Is right and proper that
the people OF Hampton believed that
the rapidly growing outlying sections
belonged to them and should be in the
corporate limits. They owe their
growth and prosperity To the mother
town, so TO speak. and 1t Is quite right
that the parent should claim its OWE.
The greater Hampton with all fet.
ters cast aside has bright future.
It's location, and the people who mako
mp It's population. are sufficient guar
antces that no backward steps will be
taken. To be suddenly raised from 4
town of 5000 or so TO 5000 or more
will bring many pcrpIexing problems
hut that they will be solved i'll time
there Is not IL question. There was
never yet an annexation of adjoining
territory that did not create tangle
or two, and there is no reason to be-
Iieye that Hampton will be an excep
tlon to the rule, but the calibre OF
the otiiceholders and the citizens gen
orally of Hampton is proof sumcien.
that eventually any problems which
may arise will be settled In fair and
equitable manner.
We are glad that the virginia
Peninsula has another city and we
bid most cordial welcome to lamp
ton. knowing full we'll that she will
bear her new honors with credit TO
herself and her sister towns.

PROMISE OF A SCANDAL AT CHI.

There can be no longer any doubt
that the negro Republicans In the
South are being encouraged by certain
prominent members of the party in
the North to demand their rights in
the party which il seems involves
their right TO so as delegates TO the
Chicago convention and there oppose
ROOSEVELT or any candidate he might
be supporting at that time. The ne
groes aided by the promptines from
the North in nearly all OF the states
in the South are planning to oppose
the Federal oficeholders who are
boosting Taft, and there is every indi-
cation that rump conventions will he
the rule and not the exception. Al
these-rump conventions delegates to
the Chicago convention will be NAM
ed and these delegates will lie ON
