Sharpe of Reidsville, carrying all but two of the six counties Of the solicitorial dis trict and getting a majority of around 5,000. Mr. Higgins car ried all but Rockingham and Forsyth counties and won huge pluralities in ABhe, Alleghaney, Caswell and Surry. S. Porter Graves, who has been solicitor from this district for over twen ty years did not stand for re election.

On the face of almost complete returns, Pritchard had 11,471 vottes a gainst 4,195 for Butler and 2479 for Tucker and 759 for Dorsett. For the Democratic sen atorial nomniations the same precincts gave Bailey 190.835; Simmons, 124,553- and Estep 1.395. Surry county Republicans are perplexed over the joint senator ship because neither of the can didates received a clear majority and, accordnig to the new law, a BUY ANCIENT S.C. rTTTT —1 MANSION TO MOVE I Late News IT TO TWIN CITY MRS.
