Democrats Nominate
Barber For Sheriff
Smithfield, N. C., Sept. 28.—The
Johnston County Democrats held a
convention in the Planters Ware-
houo.se here this afternoon for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for sheriff to fill the vacancy on
the Democratic county ticket caused
by the death of Sheriff R. H. Rich-
ai’dson, who had been nominated in
the primary for a second term of
office.
The convention was called to
meet at 2 o’clock, and there was
quite a crowd pre.sent when the
hour arrived.
Paul D. Grady presided, and for
about 4 hours there was a lively
contest between the several candi
dates for the nomination.
Seven candidates were placed in
nomination as follows: J. D. Under
wood aiid Dan Jones of Smithfield;
Walter P. Creech am! Julius. Lee,
-of Clayton; R. U. Barber and Par-
ha Hiulson, of Benson, anl John
Myatt, of Cleveland Township.
Tn the early balloting Jones wms
m the lead with Barber occupying
second place. On the third ballot
Smithfield could have given Jones
the nominatio,n by invoking the unit-
rule, as Jones only lacked a few
votes of reaching the .goal, and sev
eral Smithfield votes went to other
•■andidatesf P,ut after five of the
candidate-' had been eliminated, .and
only Barber and Jones were left in
the race, Clayton adopted the un't-
rule and gave the full strength of
that to'wnship to Barber. In this
final ballot, after it "was seen that
Barber was to be the winner, he

state Pair Boosters swooped down
on Selma Wednesday morning at
9:05 o’clock and were greeted by
a large per cent of the citizenship
of Selma.
Mayor W. W. Hare in a few well
chosen remarks welcomed the Bost-
ers to our town and assured them
that Selma would be well represent
ed at the North Carolina State Fair
in Raleigh next month. Mr. Hare
then introduced Frank Daniels, son
of Hon. Josephus Daniels, of the
News and Observer, who extended
a cordial invitation to all to attend
the Fair in October. The State col
lege band rendered a few very en
joyable selections, while copies of
the State hair Special New.s were
distributed among various citizens
who a:semb!ed to greet them. The
whistle man was about the most
conspicuous character in the bunch
as he pa.ssed among the children
and placed in each one’s hand
nice little -wliistle, and as word was
.given for all to get aboard and
went speeding in the direction of
Pine Level, our citizens viewed the
parting parade about like the aver
age farmer views the land.scape aft

month of .June when chirping' frogs
broadcast fheir gladdening songs in
one united choru.s—for husdred.s of

children’s mouths.
Theese Boosters were out on a
two-day tour of eastern North Car
