REID For SHERIFF WASHINGTON COUNTY I have not been able to see each of you personally but your vote and support in the primary Saturday, May 30, will be gratefully appreciated. PRIMARY Starts on Page One) I ,,_____ making a determined effort to imseat Bonner, while friends of the latter have rallied to his support through out the district and are waging a real fight to keep him in Congress. Little has been heard of Mr. Edwards, al though he has been here several times and made a very favorable impress ion on those who talked with him. Richard T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount, is generally given very little chance in his race against Josiah W. Bailey, of Raleigh, for United States Senator, and very little attention has been paid to this scrap by the people of this section. It is known that Fountain has some supporters in the section, however, and the neighbor ing county of Martin likely will give him a big vote. On the Republican ballot. Sam J. Morris is opposing Stoner W Klutz for the U. S. senatorial nomination. Very few Republicans are expected to vote for either of them in this coun ty. according to present prospects. Miss Virginia Norman Honored Wednesday Miss Virginia Norman, bride-elect, was honored Wednesday evening at a weiner roast given in Mr. and Mrs. C. J Norman's flower garden by the young ladies who work in the office of the North Carolina Pulp Company. Miss Norman was presented sev eral wedding gifts at this time. ment officials that Plymouth mer chants would cooperate 100 per cent in the movement. Mr. Harrell had a telegram from the national association asking that stores halt sales from 12 to 12:15 p. m.. and devote that time to the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Since the local stores close at 12 noon on Wednesdays, however, it was decided to halt the sales here from 11:45 to 12 in the morning in order to comply with the request. At the meting Tuesday, most of the merchants also agreed to carry War Stamps at all times and to suggest that customers take a portion of their change in stamps. It is believ ed the sale of stamps will be greatly stimulated here if all the merchants cooperate in this respect. ATTENTION!
