Hairston, a retired loading dock worker who serves as president of the local chapter of the NAACP, says he has worked more to further the cause of civil rights in Forsyth County than any other individual. But he lost in May's Democratic primary, Hairston says, because the Black Leadership Roundtable Coalition, a local group of black political activists of which he is a part, endorsed both him and Mose' Belton Brown, a black woman, in the county commissioners race. Brown edged Hairston for the last Democratic spot or the November ballot 12,128 votes to 12,003. "When the Roundtable told the black community tc give Mose' Brown or any other candidate the same sup port they gave me, I knew I had lost," Hairston says. Because he has a reputation for addressing issues thai concern the black community, Hairston says, he knew his white support would be limited, so he counted heavily or the black community, where he is well-known and liked, for support. On the other hand, Hairston says, Brown, who is not i controversial candidate, and is therefore more acceptable I MDAWN MAGA JT. 1 9 kjfl I V i^ " ^Mr- ] ston-Sah The Twin City's Awa >7910 Winston-Salem, N.C.

Others strongly disagree. East Ward Alderman Virginia K. Newell, who lives near the park, calls the idea ridiculous. "I can't substantiate it," she says, "but it appears to me that that type of vandalism and theft is far beyond any children." Among the items taken since March in five separate incidents were a $950 concrete jackhammer, a $935 concrete vibrator and a $2,350 earth tamp (used to pack dirt). A storage trailer was also set afire. Thefts and damages together have totaled more than $18,000, says Allen Jones of Fowler-Jones Construction Co., the contractor building the Y.

AnctWrries Forsyth Edmisten wins runoff By ROBIN ADAMS Chronicle Staff Writer State Attorney General Rufus Edmisten edged former Charlotte Mayor Eddie Knox in a June 5 runoff to win the Democratic nomination for governor and end a hardfought, sometimes bitter campaign between the two. According tQ unofficial results released early Wednesday, with 2,350 of the state's 2,352 precincts reporting, Edmisten totaled 352,108 votes, or 51.9 percent, Knox 326,442 votes, or 48.1 percent. Unlike most urban areas in the state, Forsyth County handed Edmisten a win. With 79 of the county's 80 precincts reporting, Edmisten garnered 11,456 votes here as compared to Knox's 10,194. Edmisten's strong Forsyth County showing, said Alderman Larry Womble, the attorney general's local cocampaign coordinator, can be attributed to hard work. "A lot of people in this campaign were the same kinds of people who were involved in my campaign in the Southeast Ward when they said it couldn't be done," Womble said. 44...
