All the candidates are expected to show up at the polls
next Saturday with their right hands bandaged—from
handshaking . . . But with election over their sore hands
will have ample opportunity to heal . . . John Nelson, who
got photographed last week while he wasn't looking and re
ceived two free tickets to the Lyric theatre as a result, said
he appreciated the ducats but did we HAVE to put his
picture between two strange women?
"The Great Fayssoux," gr
the Lyric a plug during his
Chevrolet company last week;
spoke of Jesse Crawford as one
of the world's greatest pianists.
Mr. Crawford also knows how to
play an organ . . . The Elk theatre
is all pepped up over its newly
installed air conditioning equip
ment which is said to wash all
the air that is released in the
theatre. It may wash the air. but
what we can't figure out is how
they hang it up to dry.
The Elkin board of commission
ers took no vote on the petition
of the Merchants Association re
garding the removal of the traffic
"dead men" at street intersec
tions here after Elkin's chief of
police stated that the "dead men"
were the greatest aid to traffic
ever installed here and that all
the complaint about cars striking
them was "Just talk" . . . Mayor
Poindexter, we understand, was
in favor of their removal.

We got it straight from one
source this morning that Frank
Hancock is going to carry Elkin
and Reynolds the state . . . Here
we've been going along all this
time in the opinion that we were
living under a democracy, and
now we find that it's not a dem-

ing Louis "Bud" Mitchell and
lerformance here at the F-W
ocracy at all, but a Folger dicta
torship, according to Marshall C.
Kurfees, congressional candidate.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! ... At this writing
election officials are considering
using the old postoffice building
as the site of the polls in Satur
day's election.
W. H. Spradlin. who was here
several years ago as receiver of
the Elkin National Bank, sent us
the following letter this morning:
"I see you have started paying
folks to find errors in your art
work. Why don't you find the
errors? You made 'em." It may
be that he has something there.
Paul Gwyn, who really does
more for town betterment than
any of the other officials, sides
with Chief Dixie Graham on the
parking dinkuses question. "If
anyone bursts a tire over them,"
he says, "it's their own fault on
account of they shouldn't be
driving so fast." . . , However, he
thinks they are too high ... He
says there has been no serious talk
of removing them because there
has been no agitation for their
removal.
There is a certain motorcyclist
in town—and it's not Dr. Nicks—
who is liable to kill or seriously
injure someone if he keeps tear
ing through Main street at a fast
rate of speed. Local police are
not the only ones who have an
eye on him. One prominent citi
zen said today that if he had
known who he was he would have
sworn out a warrant for him just
a few days ago when he roared
through the main business sec
tion ... It was requested - that
this particular paragraph be
printed.
Seiiator W. Banks Horton was
in town Saturday shaking hands
in connection with his candidacy
for the nomination for solicitor
. . . Out of a bucketful of candi
dates for this job, he appeared the
most optimistic . . . Laugh over
WPA jokes if you will, but the
local force is doing a fine job of
work in putting down sidewalks
here . . . And the town deserves
ample credit for having it done.

A certain justice of the peace

that she has two. Now, out with |

sheep?' and I replied. 'Ewe.' And
there was another big war on."
CERTIFICATE OF
DISSOLUTION
State of North Carolina
Department of State
To All to Whom These Presents
May Come - - Greetings:
WHEREAS, it appears to my
satisfaction, by duly authenticat
ed record of the proceedings for
the voluntary dissolution thereof
by the unanimous consent of all
the stockholders, deposited in my
office, that the Turner Drug
Company, Incorporated, a cor
poration of this state, whose
principal office is situated at
Main Street, in the Town of
Elkin, County of Surry, State of
North Carolina (George E. Royall
being the agent therein and in
charge thereof, upon whom pro
cess may be served), has complied
with the requirements of Chap
ter 22, Consolidated Statutes, en
titled "Corporations," preliminary
to the issuing of this Certificate
of Dissolution
NOW THEREFORE, I, Thad
Eure, Secretary of State of the
State of North Carolina, do here
by certify that the said corpora
tion did, on the 20th day of May,
1938, file in my office a duly ex
ecuted and attested consent in
writing to the dissolution of said
corporation, executed by all the
stockholders thereof, which said
consent and the record of the pro-
aforesaid are now on
file in my said office as provided
by law.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I
have hereto set my hand and af
fixed my official seal at Raleigh,
this the 20th day of May, A. D.,
1938.
(Signed) THAD EURE,
Secretary of State
(SEAL) 6-16
TO THE VOTERS OF THE 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT AND
ESPECIALLY IN SURRY AND STOKES COUNTIES:
■ I would like to have seen every voter in the
District and personally solicited their support and
by this means expressed in advance my appreciation
of whatever support they thought I deserved, this
of course has been impossible as there are over
twenty thousand voters in the District.
Most of the voters of Surry and Stokes Coun
ties have known me personally, or have known of
me, for more than twenty-five years, having prac
ticed my profession in these two counties for more
than that length of time. You are better able to
judge my qualifications for the office of Solicitor
than I am. I am willing to leave the matter of
selecting a candidate for this important position to
your good judgment. In making your decision from i
among the five candidates I only wish to call your
_ attention to the long experience I have had in the
Candidate for Solicitor practice of my profession.
I have never sought office before. I do not base my candidacy and right to
your support upon any achievements of my relatives or ancestors, war records,
geographical location or positions of honor and trust that I might have held in
the past, or upon party service. The Democratic party owes me nothing. For
what little service I have rendered my party I have been amply repaid by a con
sciousness of the fact I may have been, in a small way, and through my party, able
to render some service to my fellow man.
Most of the people of Surry and Stokes Counties know my habits of living, my
position on moral questions, my interest in the public schools and other questions
which tend to a proper development of the moral and spiritual welfare of our youth
and a better citizenship of our State and Nation.
I am making no extravagant or absurd claims as to my success in this cam
paign, but I am very much elated over the favorable response to my candidacy in all
four of the Counties and I feel that my success is assured. lam basing my claims
to your support solely upon my record as a man, my long experience as a lawyer
and whatever ability I may have.
If elected I shall endeavor to conduct the affairs of the office on the same
high plane as has been done by my worthy predecessors. I covet the honor of
serving the people of this district as their solicitor and, if elected, whose servant
I will be.
Most respectfully,
W. R. BADGETT.
