Sheriff Whit G. Wright of Per- J quimans county, is threatened with j defeat in a second primary run- ! f ff Saturday between himself and Emmett Winslow. popular Perqui- ! mans business man, for the Demo- j cratic nomination to the office | which Sheriff Wright now holds. Sheriff Whit Wright for years has been regarded as one of the most fearless sheriffs in the State. He has a reputation for getting his: man, and he several times has risk-, ed his life in pursuit of his duty.' I He has made a good sheriff for i Perquimans county. But the man- | j ncr in which he has conducted him- j self ever personal financial matters, and the fact that he has allowed I himself to become aligned with an attorney cf dubious reputation now threaten to react against the Sheriff to such an extent that he may find himself defeated Saturday by a poli tical novice. 3ack in January of this year/ Darden Brothers. Hertford depart- j men: store proprietors, brought suit ? against Sheriff Wright for around S3.0C0 which he owed to them. The j plaintiffs won the judgement. Dr. j T. A. Cox. Perquimans county coro ner. then was called upon to exe cute the judgement because the laws | cf this State hold that only a ccroner can serve papers on a sheriff. Dr. Cox went out to the five or mere farms owned by Sheriff Wright and levied on all the stock, farm implements and other salable items he could locate. Finally, after much quibbling and delay and numerous legal moves on the part of Sheriff Wright, who was | represented by Luther F. Congleton. Hertford attorney. Dr. Cox. V. M.; Darden and W. A.

When they reached one of the Wright farms, they could find nothing but a colt. The cattle, sheep, hogs and other articles on' which Dr Cox had levied, it is alleg- j ed. had been moved, sold, or other wise disposed of in the interim be- , tween the levying and the date of: sale.

Dare Coast From Kitty Hawk To Nags Head and Roanoke Island Looks for Big Fourth 7 'V --V '- - t The Dare Coast from Kitty Hawk to Roanoke Island is all set for a Glorious Fourth and record breaking crowds arc expected at the beaches over the wek-end. No unusual formal events are scheduled, but folks who go to Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Oregon Inlet and Roanoke Island make their own fun and have a good time "that is different." The Wright Memorial Brieve c,o. announces a flat toll of $1.00 for an automobile and all passengers from i Saturday noon until Tuesday noon. Chuck Collins' Carolina Beach will continue to issue return trip passe:, to patrons of Carolina Beach, by; special arrangement with the bridge company. And. by the way. Carolina Beach and the bridge company are catch ing the devil from many people who think that the concession granted Carolina Beach by the bridge com pany is unfair to other resort enter prises. The concession obtained by Chuck Collins from the bridge com pany means that patrons of Caro lina Beach get a round trip over the three mile Wright Memorial Bridge for the price of a one way toll, while the patrons of other re sort places must pay toils both ways. Concession Defended The concession to Mr. Collins is explained by an officer of the bridge company in this way: "We con sider it a perfectly legitimate con cession in the interest of our real estate development. We have nearly 5.000 acres of beach property tied up with the bridge and the succes of the bridge is largely dependent up-l on the development of our property.' When Mr. Coliins agreed to spend several thousand dollars in making over what was formerly The Pirates, Den into a high class dining and dancing pavillion where good order i would be maintained at all times by special police and where bathing j would be made safe by experienced | life guards, we agreed to make him, a bridge toil concession, believing it' to the interest of our property and j to the best interests of the entire | coast from Kitty Hawk to Roanoke 1 Island." And it must be said for Chuck j Collins that he has given the Dare j Coast a high class resort free from 1 hoodlumism and disorderliness; I maintaining a good college orches-, tra, a fully equipped restaurant, j bath houses, board walk and other refined amusements. In fact. Caro- j lina Beach has been made over into a resort of such class and refine-, mcnt as to repel and incur the hosti lity of an element that would much! prefer a rough board shack, a Negro, orchestra and no restrictions on White Mule and petting parties. j Shick's I'lacc But for folks who don't like Chuck Collins' and his college crew of en-j tertainers, there arc other places. There is Shick's popular place. Sca| Hawk Inn where they may dance \ barefooted if they like.

'< 'And why docs all this interest 1 ycu?" asked the Bank Clerk. 1 "I was just thinking," said the 1 Soda Jerker, "The Rev. Father '?

"The Roman Catholic Church is 1 a very old institution embracing a j 1 membership of many millions of all, i kinds of folks. Some say it is 1900 years old: as a matter of fact it goesj back thousands ol years before J l Christ: it was built not only upon| the teachings and traditions of Jesus and his followers, but upon the mythology and ritualism of Zoro astrianism and early Greek and Roman paganism, going back thou sands of years before Christ. Natur ally, a religion having its roots deep I in a paganistic past has a penctrat-1 ing grasp of human psychology and i attracts all sorts of people to its! service.

Incidentally he brought $5,000 along j to help the Veterans stick it out in; Washington. Much of tnc provisions! and encouragement coming to the' trouble-makers in Washington is! from Catholic sources." "That's easily enough understood,"! said the Bank Clerk; "the Catholics] arc scared to death of communism i and wherever they see anything that j looks like revolution they try to get i in on the ground floor so that when' the upset comes they can be right j there to plant a cross on the wreck before some one beats 'cm to it with a red flag."

I Leigh Sheep, proprietor of M.

Beginning business on South i Poindexter St. in the stand now oc j cupied by the American Railway Express Co., he outgrew his quart ers in a few years and moved up J'into the Y. M. C. A. building on East Main St. He did an extensive credit busi ness and his troubles began in 1920 when the country went into a panic, with a consequent tightening of j credit. He came thru the panic of ; 1920-21, but shortly thereafter his : health failed. He labored against ; great physical handicaps for several I years before a major surgical oper-l ation restored him to something like normal health. In the meantime he had much illness in his . family, | titling for more surgical and medi-: cal bills. i nc Deginnmg 01 ine present, paint i (<they call it depression) found him i with large stocks of mercandise! | that were depreciating in value! daily, with many thousands of dol-' 1 lars of worthless accounts on his!

And yet that is what scores of city people are doing. I Having been unsuccessful in the! City Markethouse. Marion C.

There1 are a lot of people who will go a, long way these days to save 5c a pound on their meat bill, when they! can get choice meats to boot. Being located on the mill yards and having some affiliation with the mill owners, Mr. Love has a ready market for the cheaper cuts of meats I among the saw mill hands.

' Home-Loving NORTH CAROLINIANS never were ' keen for swapping horses in mid l stream and in being asked to swap i Cam. Morrison for Bob Reynolds is | like asking them to swap a steady i old family broke cart horse for a j wild colt. If North Carolinians are i true to tradition and use their tradi ! tional commonsense in Saturday's Second Primary Election Senator Morrison will keep his seat in the j U. S. Senate where he is a h eady ? seated on important committees. Naval Affairs, Banking and Cur rency, and Appropriations. One of the most astounding things about ! the recent campaign was that so i iftany plain, home-loving. God-fear ing North Carolinians let a rich young aristocratic dandy from Asheville palm himself on them as a poor man and great friend of the common people. But North Caro linians have learned more about Bob Reynolds since June 4 and Mor rison will be the beneficiary of their cnjightment. Predicts 75,000 To 100,000 Lead For Ehringhaus! R. T. Fountain, the Rocky. Mount politician who is running against J. C. B.

J D. HATHAWAY, Carolina Building. adv. I ? Pasquotank Voters Just Wont Get Steamed Up Over Second Primary Contest on July 2nd Because the political campaigning: in Pasquotank since the first primary on June 4 has been, for the most part, undercover work, and because there has not been a political rally or a political speech In the county since the first primary, the political fervor that featured the first primary campaign seems to have disappeared and the people of the county appear to be indifferent and apathetic with the second primary only a few hours away and some of the most important and ! most interesting contests yet to be decided. The two highest State offices and ! three important county offices will be run off in the second primary Saturday, July 2, and the electorate | should be greatly interested in the i second primary voting. Yet, there 1 has been such a decided lack of ln i terest among the voters In the sec !ond primary that the Young Men's i Civic Club on Monday night felt it , necessary that the voters be re minded and urged to vote Saturday, i and the Club decided to have two thousand handbills printed and dis tributed thruout the city Friday i afternoon, calling upon the people to get out and vote on Saturday. Of most importance to Pasquotank voters should be the second primary contest between R. T. Fountain and ' Elizabeth City's own J. C. B. Ehringhaus for the Gubernatorial nomination. It is the Albemarle's first chance in many years to place a man in the Governor's mansion and is Pasquotank's first chance ever to do so; yet the voters of the coun ty will have to be urged and begged to vote Saturday, and even then hundreds of them will not vote. At a time when the entire electorate of the county should flock to the polls, : indications are that the vote in Pas quotank in the second primary will not exceed two thousand. Of course 'it is conceded that Ehringhaus will give Fountain a terrific licking, and ? this may explain Pasquotank's lack of interest in the contest. But in | politics no one should take any thing for granted. I Another State contest that should | interest the voters and draw them i to the polls on Saturday is the fight between R. R. <Bob> Reynolds and J Cameron Morrison for the U. S. ; Senatorial nomination. Reynolds, running on a Wet platform, held a smashing lead over Morrison in the first primary, and a lively, close con test is expected in Saturday's run off. Senator Morrison's friends who did not take Reyonlds seriously In ; the first campaign, have bestirred themselves for Morrison since June 4th and Morrison is expected to get the big vote Saturday. inrec oocai contests Right here in Pasquotank, tho. there are three contests yet to be decided, and it was in these three that the greatest interest was mani fested in the first primary. They are for the following offices: Repre sentative. Trial Justice and Prose-: cuting Attorney. These three races, together with the Senatorial and Gubernatorial contests, ought to at tract the voters of this county to the polls on Saturday, but a lot of them will have to be dragged to the polls and the candidate who does the most dragging will most likely get the votes. Most interesting to the people of the county is the race between W. T. Culpepper and F. Webb Williams for the nomination to represent Pasquo tank in the next General Assembly. It is not so much the men, bat the issues, in which the people are in terested. Mr. Culpepper is run ning on an anti-sales tax platform, and Mr. Williams is favoring the luxury sales tax. Aligned with Mr. Culpepper are the forces of Bill Dawson, who ran for the same office on an anti-sales tax platform and was eliminated in the first primary. Also with r. Culpepper are most of Also with Mr. Culpepper are most of ing Mr. Williams are a number of large property owners and farmers. Mr. Williams was high man in the first primary, but the chances are that he will be licked Saturday, for the 968 votes that were cast for Bill Dawson in the first primary are ex pected to go chiefly to Billy Culpep per in the second primary because the Dawson and Culpepper plat forms were almost Identical and were directly opposed to the Wil liams platform. The other three candidates. Frank Kltchell, Nor man Trueblood and Hilary Cart Wright. also were opposed to the sales tax. and it is probable that most of them will vote for Culpepper in preference to Williams. Pasquo tank is distinctly opposed to the sales tax and is not keen to send to Raleigh as its Representative a man who is in favor of such a tax. But Webb Williams is popular and is in telligent. and he will poll a lot of votes Saturday, altho it is this newspaper's prediction that he is in for a licking.
