In Other Two Offices Low Man in First Primary Wins Second Primary July 4th, Upsets Many Precedents Complete unofficial returns, as compiled by the Associated Press Tuesday night, showed the majority of Clyde R. Hoey over Dr. McDonald to be 58,934 on the basis of a rote of a06, 818 for Hoey and 312,870 for McDonald. Raleigh July 6. ? Clyde R. Hoey' was nominated for Governor by a very wide majority in yester day's run-off Democratic primary. Incomplete returns indicate that the 58-year-old Shelby attor ney, who is a brother-in-law of former Governor O. Max Gardner and who was a defender and ben eficiary of the present Ehring haus administration, did more than greatly multiply the slender majority of 3,468 votes by which he led Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, Winston-Salem professor, anti sales tax candidate and adminis tration foe, in the first primary on June 6. It appears on the face of in complete returns that the force of the Hoey victory, which kept unbroken the tradition by which the leading candidate for Gover nor in the first Democratic pri mary has always been nominated, was sufficient to shatter that "** same tradition for both of the two lesser offices contested yes terday. Win Other Offices ~lt apppears that the Hoey for ces, who definitely championed the causes of the candidate* who ran second in the previous pri mary, succeeded in nominating their men for Lieutenant Gover nor and Secretary of State. Thad A Eure. principal clerk of the House of Representatives, appears to have definitely over come a 43,000 vote lead held by Secretary of State Stacey W. Wade, who failed of nomination in the first primary over both of his opponents by only 13,000 votes. By a smaller margin. State Sen ator Wilkins P. Horton, of Chat ham County, like Hoey, a sales tax advocate, appears to ham? overcome the 23,000 vote lead held in the first primary by State Senator Paul D. Grady, of John ston County, president pro tem pore of the 1935 Senate, a sales tax foe. The defeat of Wade carries to three the number of State offi cers failing of renominatlon this year. Baxter Durham, who had served as State Auditor for IS years, was defeated in the first i primary by George Ross Pou. At the same time, W. Kerr Scott de feated Commissioner of Agricul ture W. A. Graham, who had held that office for 14 years. Mr. Wade defeated James A. Hart ness for Secretary of State only four years ago but he had prev iously served for eight years as Insurance Commissioner, from which he voluntarily retired in 1928 to enter private business. The only other Instance of the second highest candidate ever be ing nominated, even for a minor office, was in 1920, when Frank D. Grist won out for Commission er of LtCbor over M. L. Shipman, f the incumbent. ? News-Observer. Gob Humor "What is the difference be tween a model woman and a wom an model?" "One is a bare possibility ? j the other a naked fact."

Monday's News-Ob server. FIRE J. T. Pruitts Lumber Co. Just South of Loulsburg about two miles on Highway 56 suffered a great loss Wednesday morning about 11:30 o'clock when fire broke out in the boiler room com pletely destroying the boiler and shaving rooms. The plant was not in operation at the time but was making preparations for tho afternoon work. The fire department responded immediately after the alarm but being out of the city limits there was no water supply available for use so they returned. The damages were estimated between 12,500 and $3,000. There was no insurance. It was lucky that the wind was blowing in the opposite direction from the plant and lumber yard which kept the company from u more considerable loss. It is believed that neither of the two boilers were injured but several valves and tubes were destroyed. It was the belief that the fire caught in the boiler room or some sparks entered the shav ing room through a metal tube and set fire to the contents of the room. It -is understood tha' * some one had turned the r& . valve turning the steam in the room it would have put out the fire but in the excitement this was over looked.

This meeting was fairly well attended by interested rural resi dents and by Chester Lake, rep resenting the R E A from Wash ington City, and ? . ? . Bailey, of the Carolina Power & Light Co. The meeting was opened by E. J.

The position of his company, he said, was they were ip Franklin County on the invi- ; tation of many of its citizens to . ' come iti and give them service. They were surveying several lines and hoped to reach the large ma jority of the citizens as early as it was possible to make the sur vey and construct the lines, that they were entering the county from the nearest connecting points to their lines. The meeting soon developed ; into more of a round table dis-, cussion of the question, and ? wound up with very little defi nite information or action other V than what was already in hand. It was the general opinion ^hati the people would get better] ori more general service by com#let-i! ing the County survey andy re ceiving the approval of the R^E A| : and therefore the resolution and , '? new committee.
