THE RECORD is Y< ur Paper—Are Y< u its Friend? VOLUME 2, NUMBER 21 DEMOCRATS WIN IN STATE BY A BIG MAJORITY County Ticket Elect ed Without Any Opposition Overman For U. S. Senate; Pou for Congress k Judge Harris, of Raleigh, was r elected judge of this judicial district, while Leon S. Brassfield was elected ■ solicitor. The county ticket was elect ed by a large majority. Tuesday was election day in North r Carolina, and from meager returns Thursday morning, there is a certain ty that North Carolina has gone Democratic in nearly all the counties except a few. The Democrats in North Carolina made their customary majority of nearly 100,000 in Tuesday’s election, but they did much more than a gen erally light vote indicates. They carried Sampson county for the first time in 30 years. They brought Johnston county back into the Democratic fold with a majority of more than a thousand votes. The Democrats likewise brought •* Washington county back, and they did not capture all the offices in Brunswick, they got enough to make it reasonably certain that it is Demo-I cratic territory. From the Blue Ridge to the sea, jithe Democrats made practically a sweep. The Democrats appear i to have lost McDowell, but held Burke aby 100 to 200. The Democrats failed ■fto carry Henderson. There was never any question about the election of Senator Lee S. Over-! man and the entire State ticket of one | corporation commissioner, one chief justice and three associate justices i of the Supreme Court, nor was there i any serious doubt about the Con- j grossional delegation. They were re-! turned solid, and everywhere the Democrats held their own or made I gains. Sampson county, for thirty years • under the Republican rule, was taken over into the Democratic column. In Johnston county, the biggest' fight was on—practically the whole ! State had her eyes on Johnston—but the indications are now that our sister county has come back into the Democratic fold. — WALLACE PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE AT WAKELON k Tuesday evening at the Wakelon High school a large audience of chil- j di’ca and adults were entertained by Wallace, <he magigmn, of Durham. After producing some large glass howls of water, Wallace displayed Ais gift of showmanship by catching alive pigeons apparently from no- j where, causing a lighted lamp to van-1 ish and producing six alarm clocks, a j rabbit, etc., from a borrowed hat, all with s*lceves rolled to show that the things were not concealed upon him. The versatility of the entertainment was shown in some beautiful rag pic tures and a series of interesting car- 1 toons drawn in colored crayon. In his magic, always just as one was led to believe he had caught on, Wallace turned the trick on the other 1 fellow, showing remarkable skill and native wit and proving always that f “the eye is easily deceived by the; dexterity of the hand.” * DR.

JOHNSTON, NASH and FRANKLIN THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY PAPER IN NORTH CAROLINA. IFIRE RECORDS FOR SEPTEMBER r Rate Lower in that • Month Than Any Month in Year October Sure to be Another Record . Breaker The September fire loss for North Carolina was the lowest on record, ■ according to figures made public by . Stacey W. Wade, Stu ; e Insurance I Commissioner. The September report , showed a total of 128 fires and a total loss of $ 17t,551, as compared with the previous low-record month of July, last, when 143 fires caused a loss of $178,225.50. i The first six months record, accord , ing to Commissioner Wade, was dis | couraging, since it showed an increase of three-quirters of a million over the same period last year. But with the last three months breaking all rec | ords for low losses, the nine months | period ending with September shows that the losses for the same period last year were less than they were for the first three quarters of this yer r. For the first nine months in 1925, the reports, compiled by Statistician Andrew Joyner, show that 1,673 fires | caused a loss of $4,686,68'), as com pared with 1,793 fires and a loss of i $4,731,038 for the first nine months of this year. The State hospital fire | in April served to boost the loss con siderably this year. J October promises another good rec ord, giving ground for hope of a fur the reduction from the high loss to tals of last year, said Commissioner Wade a few daya ago. One feature of the record last i month was that not a single fire in : volving loss of $5,000 occurred in any of the large towns. This, according j to insurance department officials, was | brought about by the fact that the J fire departments in the larger towns are increasing in efficiency. The largest fire of the month was I at Wrightsville Beach, where the loss was SIB,OOO, and in Henderson coun ty, where a dwelling burned with a 'oss of more than $25,000. Only eight fires during the month caused a loss j of more than $5,000 and the total loss from this class of blazes approxi- I mated $85,825. The following towns and cities re- I j ported no fires during September and j were placed on the Insurance Depart- i 1 ment’s “Honor Roll.” New Bern, Rocky Mount, Aberdeen, j , Waynesville, Wake Forest, Pittsboro, | Raeford, Washington, Southport, Ker -1 nersville, Beaufort, Fairmont, Ayden, Lexington, Graham, Plymouth, Little ton, Pinetops, Oxford, Mt. Airy, Ma rion and Leaksville. EFFIE WHITLEY SUING JAMES PHILLIPS FOR $25,000 Claiming damages of $25,000 for j | seduction, Effie Whitely, 19-year-old | girl, started suit against James A. j Phillisp, Wake county farmer, in Wake Superior, court last w eek. The suit was started by her father as next ' friend. Both plaintiff and defendant I ! live in the country near Zebulon. The young woman’s attorneys, L. 1 L. Massey, of Zebulon, and Johnson and Crawley, of Raleigh, filed an elab orate compalint in which it is set forth that three years ago the plaintiff was a young and immature woman without knowledge of the ways of the world while the defendant was a man past ! middle age, well acquainted with the world. It is set forth that the defendant gained the confidence of the father of the girl, and that about one year ago after he had by superior will brought her under his subjection he gave her some candy, which it is said seemed to have some peculiar effect on her, and that the following day he took her out in the woods and wronged her. 1 As a result she became a mother and and her health has been impaired and lier reputation ruined.
