WO.MINGTON Tom Jervay, editor and pub lisher of the Wilmlnfton JouT' lul, made history here Monday when he ran second in a field of five candidates for one of two vacancies on the City Council. Out of a total of 6,940 tvoites cast . the newspaperman polled a total of 2,404 votes. E. L. Wade, veteran councilman placed first with a total of 3,283 votes. By poling the second highest niunber of votM in the race, Jervay won the right to contest for the seat in a run-off to be held on May 3. It will be the first time in over 60 years that a Negro candidate has polled enough votes to be in a run-off. Jervay missed a majority by only 440 votes. He will contest in the nm- off against Ronald Lane, former member of the Council, who re tired from his seat several years ago because of ill health. In spite of his ill health Lane was dragged into the race against Jervay because he owns and operates a business in the Negro section and Is believed to be the mMJf eiMMlMertr wBcr'lwnild a chance against Jervay. Entrance of the Newspaper man into the City Council race was his first experience in politics. Speakers Blast Lack Of Votings Interest Among N. C.

J. A. Brown, pastor of the Ebenexer Baptist Church in Durham, who told the vast throng that packed every inch of space in the large auditorium of the church, that some member! of the race were too lazy to vote and . that many of them on election day waited to be hauled to the poll, and others, in spite of the fact that they could get a free ride, would not vote. Said he further, “many of our race do not believe they orc) equal because they have been taught by the white man that they are inferior and as a re sult they will not vote, and in will permit their chUdren to go untidy and un clean.
