While DESTROYS OF tho establishment
OF an efficient primary system In Vir-
ginia. the Bristol Herald-Courier de-
clarcs: The primary law of Virginia
. is SO defective as to be worry much OF a
farce. The defects should DO remedied
hut If that is impossible the law should
be repealed In its present shape it is
worse than no primary law. If tho
state cannot have n good primary law
1t should return to the convention sys-
tenn"
1t is true that the present structure
of the primary is unsatisfactory be-
cause OF its conspicuous defects, but.
with all its faults, 1t is infinitely pref
crablc to the OLD convention system.
return to the former method would
be n step backward that Virginia never
should. and, in our opinion, never will
take. The convention principle of nom
nation is gradually being abandoned
throughout the country as obsolete. It's
overwhelming failure as registrar Of
the popular will has wrought its
wreck. With It's patent imperfcctions
the primary is rapidly gaining in popu-
larity. Agitation for the abolition of
the national party convention has been
begun. and some sapient political pro-
phcts predict it's early DOOM
The principle that must be applied
to tho primary system in Virginia is
Il principle of construction and not OF
destruction. 1t is possible and prac-
ticablc to remedy it's defects. but we
must be patient Its friends must unite
in an cndeavor to mako 1t an efficient
instrumcntality for the expression of
the peoples Will. We should no more
contemplate the possibility of return
to the convention system than we
should consider abandoning the parcel
post because it is not yet perfect, and
going back 10 tho old express monop-
oily.

Forty eight years ago she was n

left her practically nothing. North
Carolina was then war-wasted: her

state, splendid Spartan mother that
she was, had sent more sons to death
in the South's defense than any OF her
sisters. Yet that widow, who is now
nearly eighty, struggled and worked
so that she made a living for herself
and her sons, and gave them n fairly
