ESTABLISHED 1851.

THURSDAY, JULY 70, 19Io,
We had never known anything we
could say against Judge Allen and
we never manufactured anything
against him; therefore we have no
crow to eat in saying we shall give
him our loyal, hearty support
ReidsvilIe Review.
That is more than some OF them
can say in regard to Judge Manning.
WE thought there was something
mysterious about the retirement oil
Editor Robinson from the Durham
Sun. The facts are leaking out and
will be known to his friends sooner
or later. The mistake that Robinson
made was in trying to give Durham
bigger and Il better afternoon paper
in the way he did. Doing this he put
himself in n position to be "froze"
out of the game altogether. The pity
and the perfdy Of it.
OF the disgraceful Sixth district
Congressional convention, or cOnven-
tions, democratic but unconserva-
tivel held at Wrightsville Beach last
week, which broke up in a row, and
resulted in the nomination OF two
candidates, the Wilmington Star
says:
Some Of the delegates to that
rough-house at Wrightsville Beach
on Thursday mistook the arriving
policemen for firemen. Things were
red hot, it is true, but it wasn't the
fire alarm that had been sent in. it
was the riot call.
STATE Senator o. l.. Clark, of Bla-
den county, was nominated for Con-
gress by the Sixth district convention
at WrightsviIIe Beach last week, de-
feating Hon. H. L. Goodwin, who
sought reelection. Other candi
dates were Herbert McClammy of
New Hanover, Maj. A. J. McKinnon
of Robson, II. l.. Cook of Cumber-
land, J. A. Brown of Columbus. The
convention was stormy one, the
first chairman being deposed and
another taking his place. The nomi-
nation was made on the fOrty-fourth
ballot-nOt quite us long drawn out
as some Of the others.
COPYING the GOLD LEAFS article
last week about Col. W. F. Beasley S
new nOn-pneumatic rubber tire, the
Charlotte Chronicle heads it: "The
new rubber tire Monroe editor
works out important invention"
This will be news to both Col. Will
liam +. Beasley, citizen of Plymouth,
N. c., but mostly at home in Balti-
more and anywhere else in the United
States, who has the distinction of
having been the youngest Lieutenant
Colonel in the Confederate army, and
Editor Roland f. Beasley, of the
Monroe Journal, recognized as one OF
the most popular and talented news
paper men in the State.

COMMENTING on the settlement OF
the question at issue between the
American Federation of Labor and
the Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany, the Charlotte Observer says:
1t is clear to our mind that the boy.
colt, whether exercised by labor
against capital or by capital against
labor, should not be tolerated. Con.
spiracy to destroy a mans business
like conspiracy to take his life, has
no connection with the right of free
speech and free press about which
Messrs. Gompers and Mitchell de-
claim These defendants, too, stand
rs champions of the secondary boy
colt whereby persons quite outside
the CONTROVERSIAL persons in fact
may be threatened with a boycott
or other injurious consequences un.
less they enjOin. In the best interest
of every one it is desirable that the
Supreme Court should uphold the
lower courts decree.
