POINTED REFERENCE
IN ONE SPEECH f
W. M. Stanaland Claims
That He Entered Race
Only After He Had
Been Assured By Dr.
D. Bishop He
Would Not Run
There was just enought flare
of fireworks at the Democratic
candidates' speaking engagement |
here Friday night in the Brunswick
county courthouse to give |
promise of a spirited campaign ?
battle.
After Dr. E. D. Bishop, candidate
for the nomination for Re- l
corder, had made a clear-cut appeal
to voters assembled for their
support, W. M. Stanaland brought Pi
the charge that Dr. Bishop filed zt
for the race after having pre- j
viously assured him that he n(
would not run. He said that while I
he realized two men from the V
same section of the county pro-1 [|
bably would split up the vote so
that the third candidate would
have a better chance, he was
sticking in the race. M. B. Watkins
.the third man, made no -j-j
reference to Stanaland's charge
in his short talk to members of
the audience.
S. B. Frink, candidate for the
State Senate, speaking after his
opponent. Bill Wells, had made
one of the night's best speeches, 'p
took time out from his personal fis
appeal for support to pay his of
respects to candidates whom he | foi

Likes Southport
-etter To Local Man Following
Visit Here Shows
Unusual Interest In Southport
And Its Attractions
Cecil Bell, Assistant Industrial
2ngineer for the State of North
Carolina, spent a day here last
veek. During his stay a short
ishing trip was made out on
he Fannie E. Quidley of Captain
Sdward Nelson, Captain H. T.
lowmer acting as co-pilot with
Captain Nelson. Following his reurn
to Raleigh Mr. Bell wrote
IV. B. Keziah a very interesting
etter, from which the following
jxcerpt is taken for its praise
jf Southport:
"I have often wondered at the
mthusiasm which seems to prevade
your every word about
Southport, but jfter my first
visit there and the Won&erful
time I had aboard the boat, I
no longer am surprised. Yours,
Indeed, is a most blessed spot of
the earth. I liked it immensely."
rhese Men Had
Plenty Of Luck
/isiting Up-State Fishermen
Were Able To Land
More Fish In One Morning
Than They Could
Carry Home
Four Charlotte sportsmen came
.o Southport Friday night intendng
to put in two days of fishng
and expecting to have a nice
ittle bunch of fish to carry home
vith them at the end of that
:ime. They went out Saturday
norning, fishing until one o'clock
ind then came in and called it
i trip. They remained over until
Sunday morning, but did not go
jut that day. In fact, their Saturday's
trip to the shoals had
letted them far more fish than
hey could carry home in their
:ar, and they did not feel like
latching more just to throw them
iway.
The party consisted of W. W.
Sanoy. M. B. Hunter, C. H.
Steele and T. A. Davis. Their
Saturday morning catch consistid
of 151 fine large trout, so
arge that after a 200 pound box
vas filled heaping full, there was
;he 51 odd fish left over, and
hese they gave away to people
in the dock.
Their catch is estimated to

The crew of the boat also

Captain Edward Nelson, of
the sport fishing boat, Fannie

H. H. Bowmer, one of

also donated his service and
went along to assist Captain
Nelson. Others on the boat
in addition to Mr. Sharpc
were Mr. Bell, Assistant State

Civic Club Secretary.

the actual catching of fish

members of the party. In addition

As Democrats laid their cam- I
paign groundwork, Governor Hoey
issued a plea for honest elections. H
Governor Hoey said election officials
held a "sacred trust" and 1
should do their utmost to see 1
that registration and balloting I
were conducted legally. I
"The law regarding elections I
are very strict and if they are I
carefully observed or rigidly en- I
forced there can be ne legitimate -fl
complaint of unfairness, irregu- I
larities or fraud", the governor 8
said in a statement.
"With reference to absentee I
ballots, the election officials 1
should be careful to see that the M
law is fully complied with. This 1
law serves a good purpose when E
carefully and honestly administer- I
ed, and no legitimate complaint I
can be found with the law. The I
complaints arise because of the H
abuses of the law. I
"I call upon all the election I
officials in every precinct in the 1
State to so conduct the forthcom
ing primary and general election I
that there can be no real ground H
for controversy". 3
