  tion here, said:
 '-The fright which possessed the in habitants of the city today was un- warranted. It was unnecessary to close up shops and desert the streets. It Is true that soldiers and police stop ped cabs and unhfched the horses for war purposes but that is done in all countries in times of stress. Some of ncers worked with too much zeal, that Is a.1l.s Commercial houses may again open their doors with perfect safe ty
 The military commentaries said it was not intended to stop public vehicles in the streets and conhseate the horses but to get the animals from the staS- bles. He said that although cab traf- flc was stopped in the eitv yesterday 1t will be resumed today with the horses that are left.
 The connaandant explained that the voI1ey firing which alarmed the city early last night was due to indiscrim- mate shooting by soldiers from car windows and car roofs as they were leaving the railway stations By this method they expressed their joy at leaving for the front.

While it has been thought wise 10 have SINE

The purpose of the meeting, is indeed 10 cure,
among other things, a Statewide legalized NJ,

and file. AS to this, one of North Carolina best
known Democratic leaders in writing to endorse
the mass meeting, puts the case for the primary
very clearly as follows:
"A Statewide primary is a CRYING need. We
must allow all the people who are members o.
followers of the principles of our party to have q
direct voice in the selection of our officers. There
is no man In the Democratic ranks, who from =

respect for party principles, demand the enact

The whole purpose of the Democratic mass
meeting is that the party may expand, may 30
forward. It's spirit is clearly outlined by one Of
North Cardinals soundest and ablest lawyers and
Democratic leaders, who manifests his usual
clearsightedness in the following note:
