CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
Raleigh, April 28.—If the Republi
cans of North Carolina didn’t “put
one over” on the Democrats in the
June Primary preparations deliberate
ly and designedly, they, or at least
one of the number, did it effectively,
even if unwittingly, as if it had been
planned. The Democrats have “one
over” on them, regardless of how it
got there.
George W. DePriest, Shelby, is the
only, Republican contesting for a
State-wide office with the regular
nominee of the Republican State con
vention—Jake F. Newel, Charlotte,
for the U. S. Senate nomination. Mr.
DePriest will probably deny that oth
er Republicans put him up to it. But
Will Castor Oil
Physic The Bladder?
No, but juniper oil will. You can
drive out impurities and excess acids
which cause bladder weakness, back
ache, leg pains and burning. Get ju
niper oil in the form of Bukets, the
bladder physic, also containing buchu
loaves, etc. Use a 25c test box and if
not satisfied your druggist will return
your money. You are bound to feel
better after this cleansing and you gee
your regular sleep. Sol'J by Roanoke

for his candidacy, all State-wide con
tests would have been strictly among
Democrats. When among Democrats
only, the pollohlders would be Demo
crats entirely. With Mr. DePriest in
the Senate race, the Republicans have
one judge at every polling place, even
with only one Republican State-wide
contest. Instead of being a fight
with the dominate party, as it really
is, the primary will be a Democratic
contest with a Republican judge at
every polling place. Moreover, the
presence of Mr. DePriest in the con
test will cost fully $2,000 more.
Few surprises were sprung in the
dlosing hours for State offices at
midnight last Friday. Dan C. Boney,
insurance Commissioner has a Demo
cratic opponent. Stanley Winborne,
Corporation Commissioner, also has
one, hut not the opponent expected.
A few other variations from theex
pected are shown in the following list

primary:

COLUMN
Washington, D. C., April 23, 1932.
Friend Wilson:
Thru the kindness of Mrs. Mary
Carr Williams, I received a copy of
the Special Edition of the Roanoke
Rapids Herald.
I congratulate you. It was a splen
did issue, well conceived and admir
ably done.
It marks you as one of those in the
forefront of progress whose aim is to
make Roanoke Rapids, N. C., the
youngest American city, the indust
rial and commercial center of a wide
and prosperous section.
This paper had a peculiar charm
for me. It awakened memories of
| former days.
For half a century I have known
Halifax County. I am familiar with
all the highways and byways from
Roanoke River to Fishing Creek and
from Palmyra to Ring-wood and num
ber among my friends and acquaint
ances hundreds of citizens of well
nigh every race, color and creed.
I recall vividly the time when Roa
(noke Rapids existed only in the mind
of Major T. L. Emry. Hu had a pro
phetic vision of which your city is the
fulfilment. After many discourage
ments, his abounding faith, In'; per
sistent optimism and importunity had
its reward. lie became associated with
Charles Cohen, W. M. Hobblest.m,
\V. S. Parker and Judge J. M. Mullen!
A little later this forward-looking
group was joined by the Chandlers,
Maxwells and tie Millhisers and the
foundation was laid.
Nearly all of these pioneers have
fallen on sleep and now rest from
their labor, and it is for you and
your contemporaries to carry on the
work so nobly begun.
To you from falling hands tlft*y
threw the torch. Be yours to hold it
[high! Give my kind regards to all
Kiwanians and other friends. With re
newed congratulations and again as
suring you of my appreciation of your
splendid paper and the pleasure it
afforded me, and wishing for you, and
The Roanoke Rapids Herald the suc
cess you so well merit.
Sincerely yours,
Torn Meacham.
From Our County Seat
Your paper comes to me each week,
and I read it with the same zest that
I do Time Magazine. I am filing a
copy of what I call your “better Roa
noke Rapids” issue and if I can do |
so I want to get another copy to send I
to my friend Louis Graves of the I
Chapel Hill Weekly, who is a very
good friend of mine. He is a unique
newspaper man and I am sure he will
greatly appreciate the make up of the
issue of your paper in question.
Very truly yours,
Quentin Gregory, President Bank
of Halifax.
From Minnesota
Just a “thank you” note to the
member of your staff to whom I am
indebted for a copy of your 48-page
“Keep Building” edition. It indi
cates an enterprising newspaper staff
that is rendering a real service to the
city in which it is published.
With best wshes,
Fraternally yours,
Herman Roe, Field Director Na
tional Kditorial Association.

| J're-school clinics have* recently been
held in fifteen schools of Halifax coun
ty. Dr. Z. P. Mitchell, county health
"Dicer and Miss Doris Dickens, coun
ty nurse, conducted this clinic. Miss
Annie Cherry, supervisor of the coun
ty school, studied each case, getting
a personal history of the whole de-1
velopment of each child. • The test was
given to 70 3-10 per cent of all the
children who will enter school this
year. This is the highest per cent
lever made in the county. A large ma
jority of the children had already
taken the diptheria anti-toxin and
have been vaccinated for small pox.
Education along this line is making
steady progress each year.
