Tf miuiawi Decision Of One Of Three Men In Race For State House Of Representatives Cause Shake-Up In County's Hottest Race CAPTAIN "CHURCH SUPPORTS THOMAS If His Followers Switch With Him To Thomas' Support Will Probably Mean His Nomination Captain James B. Church announced Monday that he is withdrawing from the race for the Democratic nomination for House of Representatives. In making hisi statement of withdrawal from the race Captain Church said "Personally, I will support Mr. Neil Thomas." Thomas is one of the candidates seeking nomination to the house. R. E. Sentelle is his opponent, and this three-cornored race was developed into one of the most heated in the history of the coun-1 ty. Captain Church was making an appeal for the dry vote .and the general opinion was that a second primary was inevitable. It is believed that if Captain J Church carries the vote of his suporters to the aid of Thomas, this will give the Shallotte man a marked advantage over Mr. Sentelle. his more experienced opponent. Captain Church's statement follows: "in view or me circunisuun-ca which I will not mention in detail, I feel it best to withdraw from the June Primary as a candidate for the House of Representatives. X wish to sincerely thank all my friends and supporters for their efforts in my behalf. Personally, I will support Mr. Neil Thomas." "James B.
