Noble Expected To Run Also
Parnell To Run For Sen.
State Rep. David Parnell of
Parkton is expected to have to win
the Democratic nomination in the
May primary from the State Sen.
Sam Noble, a fellow Democrat, in
his effort to replace Noble in the
Senate's 12th District seat.
Parnell, one of the three state
representatives for the the 21st
District, which includes Hoke, an
nounced last week he would run
for Noble's seat. The 12th
Senatorial District is composed of
Hoke and Robeson counties.
Noble is serving his first regular
two-year term. He went to the
Senate prior to the 1980 election
by appointment to fill the vacancy
created by the death of State Sen.
Luther Britt. He was unopposed
for election in 1980.
Parnell is a Parkton business
man and a farmer and is serving his
fourth term in the State House of
Representatives.
In the 1981 General Assembly,
he served as chairman of the
House Base Budget Committee on
General Government and was
reported to have been instrumental
in initiating budget cuts of $5.25
million for fiscal 1981-82. He also is
vice chairman of the House Com
mittee on Public Utilities and
Courts and Judicial Districts.
"Quite frankly," he was quoted
as saying last week, of his decision
to run for the Senate, "I've had a
tremendous amount of people
come to me and talk to me about
running for the Senate.
"The Senate has smaller

numbers-there are 50? compared
to 120 in the House. And so I think
your vote and your voice carries a
little more weight."
Parnell is serving with William
Gay and Horace Locklear as the
21st District's representatives in
the House. The district's other
counties are Robeson and
Scotland.
Parnell and Locklear won their
new House terms and Gay was
elected to his first term in 1980.
Gay, Democrat as are Parnell and
Locklear, succeeded State Rep.
Robert Davis when Davis finished
fourth behind him in the six
candidate contest in the party
primary. The three who won the
Democratic nominations then were
unopposed in the general election
of the following November.
Parnell during the 1979 session
of the General Assembly served as
vice chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee and the
Committee on Rules and Opera
tions of the House. During the
1977 and 1979 sessions, he served
on the Appropriations Committee
and as a committee member helped
draft the bills for state appropria
tions for the subsequent two-year
periods.
He is active in the Parkton on
Baptist Church: he has served as a
Sunday school teacher and a
deacon, among other offices. He
also has served on the Board of
Trustees and its Executive Com
mittee of Meredith College in
Raleigh, a Baptist school for
women, and on the Board of
Directors of the North Carolina
Association of Private Colleges
and Universities.
He is president of J.Q. Parnell,
Inc., and Parnell Oil Co., Inc., of
Parkton, and of Tobacco Land
Warehouse, Inc., of Fairmont.
In a statement, Parnell said that
the experience gained during his
four terms in the Legislature would
serve to increase his effectiveness in
the Senate and thereby enable him
to be of greater benefit to his
