Says He Is Planning
: Trip
C'yie R Ho.-*', 'n probability.
the next governoi of North
Carolina, will be a visitor in
Brunswick county some time in
. the near future, according to a
letter received Monday morning
by W. B. Keziah, one of the man
agers in Brunswick county for
the Western North Carolina man
who was nominated Saturday.
It is understood that Mrs. Hoey
will accompany him to Southport
and that the stay here will be
for four or five days or a week.
Lee B. Weathers. prominent
newspaperman, of Shelby, wrote
Mr. Keziah last Friday about the
pending visit from Mr. Hoey,
saying in part: "Since he did not
visit Brunswick county during
the campaign, I think he owes it
I to your people to go there for a
rest. You have a wonderful section
and I know Mr. Hoey is
interested in your port possibilities."
' Mr. Weathers also said that he
i wanted Mr. Hoey to have some
fishing experience while he was
here.
I In his own letter, Mr. Hoey
, did not refer to the election,
which was in progress Saturday,
the day upon which he wrote.
The fact fhat he wrote on election
day after traveling over the
state day and night for the preceding
ten days inspired Mr. Keziah
to remark that if he had
been in Mr. Hoey's place he
would not have taken time off to
write a letter to the Lord himself
last Saturday.
