Announcement in today's BrevaM
?Jews that Hon. C. S. Davis, lead
ng wholesale grocer of Asheville, is
eeking the Democratic nomination
or Congress will come as int&r^fgSg
tews to the people of the county.
Jr. Davis, for many years head w
he big Slayden-Fakes company, IS
mown throughout Western. North
Carolina as one of the best business
nen of this section. He has never
lefore been in politics, and announces
hat he would not now be in polities
irere it not for the fact that politics
leed business injected into the gov
immental agencies that operates
hrough political parties.
Mr. Davis is an active churchman,
ind has wielded great influence
\sheville and vicinity in all move
ments for community advancement.
One of the things that Mr. Davis
would like to see done by the Nation
al government is the placing of a
>riale upon corporations. That is, he
would want a law that would prevent
iny one concern from haying more
:han one store or place of business,
tn this way, he points out, there could
>e no monopoly of business, and citiz
5ns in every community would have
1 chance to do business.
The announcement of Mr. Davis is
filled with interest, and readers of
rhe Brevard News are urged to read

EE FORCED TO ENTER
THE JUNE PRIMARY
Eafcry Of DePriest As Candi
date For United States
Senate Is Cause.
JAKE F. NEWELL CHOICE
OF PARTY CONVENTION
DePriest's Entry Will Cost
State Over' $2000 Extra ?
Seeks Notoriety.
It appears, from a recent ruling in
Raleigh, that all the Republican
judges named throughout the State
will be ealbd upon to serve in the
June primary. It is not customary fevr
Republican judges to serve in the pri
mary, and in many counties whi'o
the Republican judge is named at the
Spring meeting of the boards of elec
tion, they do not serve unti! Novem
ber.
But this year, according to Raleigh
reports, such judges will be called
upon to serve in the primary. A man
by the name of DePriest, of Shelby,
has entered the primary for nomina
tion on the Republican ticket against
Hon. Jake F. Newell for United
States Senator. Mr. Newel' was nomi
nated at the State convention in
Charlotte, but DePriest, not coming
up before the State convention, has
filed notice of his candidacy in the
June primary.
According to the ruling, this one
Mart's entrance into the primary
against Mr. Newell will call firr the
regular lineup of election officials at
each and every precinct. There wiiS
be 'the registrar, one Democratic
judge and one Republican judge. De
Priest's entrance will also cost the
State of North Carolina about ?2 ,000
estra,,the report says.
DePriest is a former member of
ttu Republican State Executive com
mittee, wts at one tiifte postmaster
at Shelby, and his injection into the
primary for the Republican nomina
tion for United States Senate agsinaet
Mr. Newell contains but on;: eleipent
