Jarvis Ward, chairman of the Perquimans County Board of Elections, said today the couniy election macmnery is ready for the second primary which will be held Saturday, June 25. In Perquimans- Cougty one race will be at stake, that being the contest for the office of Governor between Dr. I. Bever ly Lake and Terry Sdnford. Ballots for the election were de livered to the chairman by the State Highway Patrol. Local interest in this run-off primary is not reaching the high point which developed in the May 28 election, due, it is be lieved, to the fact only one race is involved. More than 1,800 voters went to the polls in Per quimans on May 28 but predic tions are now that this .number will drop considerably for the election June 25. Both Mr. Lake and Mr. San- ford have Stepped up campaign ing during the past week which was highlighted by a 30-minute television debate between the two candidates staged last Mon day night.

County Society Officers This Weeks Headlines A gigantic ovation welcomed i President Eisenhower to Ma- nila earlier this week as the President reached Asia on his good will tour expected to run about 20 days. Reports stated the reception given by the Fili pinos matched any acclaim ever accorded the President. Commuhist-Ied opposition to the President's visit to Japan succeeded when the planned visit was cancelled Thursday. Riots in Tokyo forced the Japa nese government to acknowledge doubt concerning President Eis enhow's safety should he tour Japan. Meanwhile, the Japanese government states intentions to ratify the joint security treaty with the U. S. Congress expected to adjourn shortly in time to . permit a large number of its members to attend the national party con ventions. It has been urged to step up consideration of a num ber of important programs ad vocated by both political par ties. However, reports from Washington indicate few if any drastic changes will be adopted by Congress in the remaining days of this session. With the national conventions just around the corner, Senator John Kennedy appears to be well in front of the candidates seeking the Democratic nomin ation for President. Senator Johnson of Texas appears to be in second place behind Kennedy. Meanwhile, Vice President Nix on, despite a recent blast by Governor Rockefeller of New York, appears to have the GOP nomination sewed up on the first ballot.
