CANDIDATE • SM 11 |fcty. fl IMP^ 1A t Jgjlß jflK& ! SANDY GRAHAM Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham, who has announced his candidacy for the nomination for Governor of North Carolina in the next Democratic primary. Biographical Sketch Os Sandy Graham Lieutenant Governor A. H, (Sandy) Graham, who has announced his can didacy for the Democratic nomina tion for Governor of North Carolina in the next primary, is very well known in this section of the State and has relatives living in Edenton. ■f He is the brother in-law of Mrs. W. A. Graham and an uncle of John W. Graham, local attorney. Mr. Graham contemplated spending some time in Edenton while enroute to Elizabeth City on July 4th when he was sche duled to take part in the Fourth of July celebration, but due to the in fantile paralysis situation the cele bration was cancelled and Mr. Gra ham did not come. A short biographical sketch of Mr. Graham follows: Alexander Hawkins Graham, now Lieutenant Governor of North Caro lina, and who is seeking the Demo cratic nomination for Governor in 1936, was bom in Hillsboro, North Carolina, August 9, 1890, the son cf , John W. and Maggie F. (Bailey) ) Graham. A. H. Graham, or “Sandy” as he is better known throughout the State, is the third of his family to achieve prominence in public life. His father, Major John W. Graham, after serving throughout the Civii War, was a member of the State Senate for five terms. His grand father, William A. Graham, was United States Senator, Secretary of the Navy, Speaker of the North Car cJlifiTe House of Representatives, Gov ernor of North Carolina, Whig nomi nee for Vice-President in 1852, and afterwards appointed on various boards and commissions, many of which appointments he declined. A. H. Graham was educated in pri vate schools in Hillsboro, the Episco pal High School at Alexandria, Vir ginia, and graduated from the Uni i' versity of North Carolina with the A. B. Degree in 1912. During the next year he attended the Law School at the University of North Carolina, and the summer Law School in 1913, and after receiving his law license, attended Harvard Law School for one year. In 1914 Mr. Graham returned to Hillsboro and began the practice of law in the office of his father, the late Major John W. Graham, and soon became actively interested in county affairs, being appointed Coun ty Attorney in December, 1914. He continued active in local government until the outbreak of the World War • when he volunteered for service and was sent to the First Officers Train ing Camp at Fort Olgethorpe, Geor . gia. After completing a three F months training course, he was com missioned a Second Lieutenant and joined the 81st Division which was being organized at Camp Jackson. South Carolina. Mr. Graham served during the entire period of America’s participation in the War and spent more than eleven months in France, where he saw active fighting and where he received two promotions, so that upon the close of hostilities he was honorably discharged with the rank of Captain and Regimental Ad jutant. >■ For a number of years prior to the World War, Orange County had been known as a Democratic County, but in the election of 1916 the Re publican Party gained control of the \ County, filling all the county offices save one. This condition continued for four years, and upon returning home Mr. Graham became active in , county politics and was shortly se lected as Chairman of Democratic Executive Committee for Orange County, which portion he still holds. After a strenuous campaign, the De- P<&>cratic Party secured control of i* Orange County in the election of 1920 and has continued in control since said date by increasing majorities at each subsequent election. Upon taking up his law practice in Ms home at Hillsboro, Mr. Gra ham again accepted appointment as County and has been act \ ively connected with the government ’ of the county during the last fifteen years and has had an active part in giving to Orange County one of the best and most econtmical govern ments any county in the State. In addition to local offices, A- H. ’MJrtham has devoted a great deal of Jj'chme to his duties in connection with membership in the State Legislature | where he served as member of the House of Representatives in the Ses sions of 1921, 1923, 1925, 1927, and 1929, in which last Session he served as Speaker and presided with eminent fairness and ability, attracting much favorable comment not only from the members of the body, but also from the press of the State. In 1932 Mr. Graham was a candi date for the Office of Lieutenant Governor and received the nomination over two able opponents by a very flattering majority, and was subse quently elected to this Office which he is now holding. By virtue of this office Mr. Graham has been the pre siding officer over the past two Ses sions of the State Senate and has in that capacity continued the enviable record as one of North Carolina’s outstanding parliamentarians and presiding officers. In any sketch of Mr. Graham it is essential to note that he has had var ied and extensive experience in State Government, for during his legisla tive terms he served as Chairman of the Committee on Propositions and Grievances, Committee on Judiciary, and the important Finance Commit tee, all in the House of Representa tives. In addition, he has also served as a member of the State Budget Commission for a period of six years l and for a short time as Executive Counsel and Parole Commissioner. ) During Mr. Graham’s legislative ser - vice, he has always been active and - progressive in advocating and spon i .soring forward movements and has 1 been especially interested in the im z provement of the school situation in i. North Carolina, being closely asso . ciated with the movement for the . present eight month school term, l having appointed Honorable A. D. l McLean as Chairman of the Educa i tion Committee in the House in 1929 - and again in Senate of 1933- Also f Mr. Graham has served as Chairman -of the State School Commission since - July, 1933, and in this work has had - an opportunity to come in close touch with State affairs and State govern s ment in general. During his public career, “Sandy” has made countless r friends throughout the State by his - frank and straightforward state - ments regarding public questionse l and has at all times tried to make i his opinions well-known, even on con s troversial issues. I Mr. Graham was married to Miss ’ Kathleen Long on August 28, 1917. : They have two sons, A. H. Graham, > Jr., age 17, and John W. Graham, • age 11. Mr. Graham is a member of ■ the Episcopal Church, American Le i gion, Forty and Eight, Junior Order, s North Carolina Bar Association, and - Trustee of the University of North : Carolina. ■ / —— \ COLERAIN | ■ V > Johnny Byrum, Leo Wynn and .

Seeking Rector For Merry Hill Church A call has been sent to Rev. Wil liam H. Latta to fill the vacancy as rector of the Episcopal Church at Merry Hill which was caused by Rev.

Answer: The number of cows > kept for cream producing should be . determined by the amount of home i grown feed that is available; but, a . piofitable unit should consist of net less than four or five cows. With . this size herd, frequent deliveries of i high quality cream can be made at a minimum cost. Frequent deliveries . always bring a premium and these connot be made from one or two cows. ■ Question: When should alfalfa be ■ seeded and how much seed is needed to the acre ? , Answer: The best seeding dates , for the lower Coastal Plain and Pied ; mont sections are from September 1 to 30. In the upper Piedmont sec- , tion the seed should be put in be tween August 15 and September 15. At least 25 pounds of seed should be used to the acre, but as a good stand i is worth more than the cost of 5 or 10 pounds of seed it would pay to add about five pounds to the above figure , and use 30 instead of 15 pounds of i seed to the acre. Question: When should pullets be , moved from the range shelter to the < atying house ? Answer: Pullets should never be moved until the majority are i-eady to come into production. Even then, * if layers are still in the house, the pullets should not be moved until the * house has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The shelters can be moved from range to range and the pullets should be kept on these ranges j as long as possible especially if the pasture about the laying house is , poor. . MRS.
