STRONGLY FAVORS J. BRYAN GRIMES 1 V 9* VonEbenjteln, one of tho prominent reaUlnntH of Choco.winlty, wm 1 nthe city this morning on a Brief flelt. When aaked ^whether there iraa "anything new" tn hla part of the county, he replied that ne didn't know of anything. Mr. Von ?berstein expressed himself, how ever, a# being greatly interested '.n the State political situation and es pecially in the campaign of J. Bryan Crimes for re-election as Secretary M BUt#. . "A? a farmer," he began, "I w^nt to wkj a few words to^the farmers of North Carolina. Eighty per cent of 4*e fea*dcrau in this State %re far iter#, l$t they should have a voice ft Mtafltlag their State officers. "J. fcfyan Grimes Is a farmer, and - li the iaJy representative we hare ted 1ft fhe Council of SJato in more than a generation. He has looked Jkfter our Interests and has advocated - all legislation and administration which has had ror its purpose tho hetterm4nt*of farming conditions In North Carolina. He has been a j aaeaihor of the State Board of Agri culture. the Orangt, the Farmers' |. Alllanoe .and is at present an active ntembev ei the Farmers' Union.

"Ha Was made a faithful and ef ficient While official and deserves Mr undivided and acttve support. "At tUM time, "hen his opponent, I am i .formed. who 1b an office-hold er of eighteen years standing, la rid ing up and down the 8tate button holing men and asking aid, Bryan Grime . la on hla Job, doing the work the people are paying him to do. "He has no 'organization' to boost him. nor is his candidacy 'backed' by Federal revenue officers If the prlamiy la to expresa the will of the people. t)ie people should make their selection of candidates without hav ing orders from 'headquarter*' as to how tLey ahall vote. The farmers of North Carolina ahould, and I believe, will re tent the unwarranted sad. per nicious activity of the aelf constitut ed "political bosses" of the State in pasalnc around orders aa to who knust and. who must not be selected. "Thousands of us have dealings with the Secretary of Stalls office every year. Bryan Grime* la serv ing us satisfactorily and efficiently. Thousands of us know him person ally ard thousands more know him by reputation, and ail agree that he is honest, faljftful, courtft o?s. and fills the offl/e 1ft a thor oughly acceptable raaftver.

She claimed "that she could walk irom here to New Born w!*ho?t any trouble. He said she 1 couldn't, ike declared that a Jaunt iiuin here to Urapville would be jeasy. Ue bald It would be prepos terous. Finally the doctor ?> made her a proposition. The round-trip distance from the Eureka mi'l to the 'bridge across Jack's Creek Is a little short of three miles. He ottered Miss .Car- ] ter one cent for the Qrst trip, two cents for the second, four cents for the third, and so on, doubling It each time. 8ffe took him up. Yesterday morning Dr. Carter went to OreenYllle on business. The train had not crossed the Pamlico river bridge before Mias Robena was J out. She completed two trips before "Breakfaat. After a light repapt, she started out again. After the third j trip she found out that it was lone some walking, so she went around to the home 'of her cpnaln.

After the fourth or fifth trip, news of the Incident began to spread through the olty and the appearance of the two young lad lee waa greeted with oheers on the part of friends.

Supper they took at the Hotel Louise. The walk was resumed after supper. At 7:30 Dr. Carter returned from Greenville. He was met at the door by Mrs. Carter. She told him of what hud taken place. * "lio?v luug bag she been walking?" aeked the doctor. "Since seven o'clock thla morn ing," replied Mrs. Carter. "How many trips has she made?" be asked anxiously. "I don't know exactly, about twelve, I think," anawered Mrs. Car ter. ' With an exclamation, Dr. Carter rapidly found a piece of paper and a pencil. He Ugnred for a minute or two. Tben he dropped pencil and paper and ran to the telephone. Mrs. Carter heard him mutter somethiog about "forty dollars!' as be waited for central tb.' answer his call. He communicated with Mrs. Hackney, the Hotel Louise and Worthy & Rtheridge'ffslrug store, asking tbenj to notify Miss Robeoa that he was satisfied and for her to "please stop 'walking." Jesse Woolard, of Worthy A. Etti eridge's happened to see the young lsdieB pass. He went out and "flag ged" them, 'delivering the doctor's message. At first they were losth to quit,' but when he convinced them that he spoke the truth, they decided to c.t'.l rtf their walk, although declared Hurt "they were not ; least bit tired."
