Rudy Anderson of WAAA, Tim Carr of WSJS and
Sharyn Bratcher, managing editor of the Chronicle.
The candidates were also asked questions supplied by
the audience.
Republican candidate Horton attacked the Democratic
party by saying that it uses blacks, and that decades
of loyalty in Winston-Salem has only brought destruction
of black neighborhoods in their communities.
"1 think the black community is sick and tired of
being used by one party, being taken for granted

Afro glistened in the sunlight.
Next to her. in the classic "rapping" position, was a
dililgent young brother engaged in the attempt to make
acquaintances.
1 didn't mean to listen in as I approached the corner.
It was just one of those things.
She was saying. "I'm interested in somebody who's *.
doing something, who's got something on the ball."

Young Ms. X, as we shall term her, had apparently
discovered in her life that action and not talk is the most
important way to evaluate a person.
Simple as that may seem, it's a lesson many "smooth
talkers" and even smoother listeners have not yet
chanced upon, despite the endless line of R&B hits that
talk about "Runaway Love" and "Jody" and all the
rest of them.
