STATE PRIMARY LAW PRO
VIDES FOR SECOND PRIMARY
Except For Nomination of President
and Vice President Majority re
quired to Nominate and Only Two
Aspirants With Hifrhest and Sec
ond Hifihest Can Run in Second
Election.
Since the enactment by the last Gen
eral Assembly of a law providing that
on the first Saturday in June next pre
ceding each general election to be held
in November for State officers, repre
sentatives in Congress, judges, solici
tors and members of the General As
sembly, a primary election shall be
held for the purpose of nominating
candidates of each and every political
party for these offices, the impression
has obtained in many quarters that in
the event a candidate for an office does
not get a majority in the primary that
there will be no second primary.
However, the act provides that nom
inations for President and Vice Presi
dent in the seventh conrrres.-ional dis-
North Carolina has morn -whole
time county health officers, twelve all
told, than any other State in the
Union, said Dr. Stiles of the United
States Public Health Service to the
Country Life Conference at the Uni-

SPLIT IN SALISBURY CHURCH
Rev. W. B. Duttera, Th. D., S. T. D.
pastor of Faith Reformed church, Sal
isbury, has resigned the pastorate c
his church, resignation to take effect
August 1. Following his announce
ment of his resignation 45 of his sym
pathizcrs withdrew from member
ship in the church. This number in
eluded most of the officers and great
est workers of the church. Mr. an
Mrs. Duttera will continue to live in
Salisbury and do some kind of relig
ious work. Faith congregation has
grown considerably during his pastor
ate, the reports showing a net gain in
membership every year.

ity of votes cast but in the case of all tention to public health and sanitation
other officers a nomination shall be de
termined by a majority of the votes
cast. The second primary shall be held
four weeks after the first in which
only the two aspirants who have re
ceived the highest and next highest
votes shall be voted for. It is made
obligatory upon the aspirant receiving
the second highest number of votes
to file within five days after the re
suit of the first primary is made of
ficially known a request in writing
with the appropriate board of elec
tions that a second primary be held.
"With five candidates for Congress
from the Sixth Congressional district
in the field it seems practically cer
tain that in this district it will be
necessary to have the second primary
next year. In the event that the as
pirant receiving the second highest
number of votes does not file such no
tice or shall withdraw and decline,
then the man receiving the highest
number of votes shall be declared the
nominee.
While the act applies to all counties
as to the nomination of National,
State and district officers are concern
ed, a large number of counties are ex
cepted from its provisions so far as
county officers and members of the
lower house of the General Assembly
arc concerned. Among these are Guil
ford, Mecklenburg, New Hanover and
others. It is possible in the State law
for any of the counties excepted to
become subject to its provisions by
an election, if as many as one-fifth of
the voters shall petition the county
commissioners for the election and at
the election held for this purpose, a
majority of the votes cast shall be in
favor of having the State law become
operative as to county officers.
While the dates for the primary for
county officers in the counties except
ed do not coincide with those in the
State law, it seems to be pretty gen
erally understood that a'n effort will
be made in these counties to have the
primary at the same time as for the
State and district officers in order to
facilitate holding them and to prevent
unnecessary trouble and expense
It is provided in the act that the
State primary law shall be conducted
in accordance with the general elec
tion laws of the State. On the 10th
Saturday preceding each State or dis
trict primary election, the State board
of elections is instructed to meet and
appoint the county boards of elections
and on the seventh Saturday before
the primary the county boards are au
thorized to meet and organize r.nd ap
point registrars and judges.
In order to defray the expenses of
the primary, candidates are required
to pay the following named sums at
the time of filing notice of candidacy
which shall be paid into the State
treasury: Congress, $50; Judge of
Superior Court, solicitor or any State
officer, $20; State Senator, $u; county
officers, $5.
No person shall be entitled to par
ticipate or vote in the primary elec
tion of any political party unless he
shall be a legal voter or shall be en
titled to vote at the next general elec
tion and has first declared and had
recorded on the registration book that
he affiliates with the political party in
whose primary he proposes to vote.
Each candidate other than for county
officers is required to file with the
State. Board of elections at least six
weeks before the primary, a notice,
stating his party affiliation, the office
for which he is a candidate and a
pledge to abide by the result and to
support the party candidate nominat
ed. Candidates are also required to
file ten days before and within 20
days after the primary a sworn state
ment of all monies expended by him
or in his behalf during the campaign.
After the time for filing notices by
candidates shall have expired, the
State Board within three days is em
powered to give notice to the county
boards and shall without delay, at the
expense of the State, have enough of
ficial ballots for each party and these
eh all be distributed to the various
ounty boards. Only these official bal
lots shall be used in the primary elec
Hons and if other ballots are used they
- will not be counted,

calls for competence, courage, energy,

How many people know that there
are three mountains in North Caro
lina which were named by the great
Zebulon Baird Vance? The trio are
near Swannanoa Gap; on the south
side of it. In fact it was Mr. Henry
h.. nes, of Winston-Salem who told
the writer the story. He was visiting
Senator Vance while the latter wag
building his home "Goombroon," on
the other side of the gap, when the
Senator said: "I have named the
three mountins in front of us for
the three Vs of the Senate, Vest,
Voorhoes and Vance." Ex.
Instead of having the names of the
candidates arranged alphabetically as
is sometimes the case, it is provided
that the ballots shall be so printed
that the the names of opposing can
didates shall so far as practicable al
ternate in position to the end that
each candidate shall occupy the first
place on an equal number of ballots.
This can be better explained by stat
ing that in the event there were two
candidates for an office and one hun
dred thousand ballots were printed,
that on 50, 000 of these the name of
one candidate would be placed first
and on the remaining 50,000 the name
of the other candidate would be first,
and the ballots thoroughly mixed be
fore being sent out.
In each election precinct there shall
be three ballot boxes for each politi
cal party, labeled respectively: "Na
tional Primary Box," "State Primary
Box, and "Legislative Primary Box."
In the first votes for President and
Vice President of the United States
shall be deposited, in the second bal
lots for State and district officers, and
in the third for members of the Gen
eral Assembly. While an elector is
required to declare the political party
with which he affiliates and in whose
primary he desires to vote he is not
required to vote for a candidate, for
each office unless he so desires, and he
may either mark the ballot and place
it in the box himself or he may, after
having marked it, give the ballot to
the registrar or judge of election to
deposit it for him. The right of chal
lenge as to the legal right of a voter
to cast a ballot or to his party affiiia
lion may De exercised in tno wmc
manner as at general elections.
Provisions for the conduct of eeur.ty
elections are similar to those for Na
tional and State election. Other pro
visions deal with the method of count
ing the votes and certifying the re
turns which shall be done under the
direction of the State Board of elec
tions.
It will be noted that the act makes
it discretionary with the voter as to
whether or not he casts his ballot in
accordance with what is commonly
known as the Australian ballot system
or shall allow the registrar or judge
of elections to cast it for him after
he has marked the "names of the can
didates for whom he wishes to vote.
While all parties wil have their pri
maries on the same day and at the
same polling places, separate ballot
boxes will be used and the votes for
each party will be counted separately.
OPPORTUNITY FOR RANDOLPH
GIRLS
My Dear Editor:
Permit me to reach the deserving
girls in your county. For the last
seven years I have been a careful ob
sever of the need in our South-land
and how to meet this need from the
strongest possible Christian advantage
ground or position.
I believe that where people are lack
ing in trained minds whether received
inside of the school room or the great
est of all schools, the school of ex
perience, that you will find more pov
erty, less ambition for improvement,
a dull senseless satisfaction with let
ting things clone, consequently drift- j
ing and killing all initiative, also more i
mortgaged homes and farms.
I believe first of all that every girl
and boy should have a working knowl
edge of the English Bible. This ar
ticle is especally for the girl where-
ever she may be, who is anxious for
a life-training. I will write the boys
later. In the magnificent school for
girls, The Salisbury Normal Industrial
Institute, Salisbury, N. C, which will
open, God willing, October 6th, there
will be everything there to bring out
the personal resources of every young
lady and develop it to the highest degree.
Every young lady, I prefer this
term to girl, should understand about
cooking, chemistry of foods, effect on
the body, etc. There will be no better
opportunity than that we will give
her, because every one has to learn
to cook.
Then every young lady is going to
taught sewing, so as she can make
everything she wears, even coat suits
and hats. One of our greatest weak
nesses South is dependence on one or
two crops and not enough foodstuffs
raised. Every young lady is going
to be taught gardening, dairying,
poultry horticulture.
We must bring diversity of crops
South in every section. This means
more thrift, consequently more mon
ey, better homes, churches, schools,
public roads and necessary convenien
ces. Then every young lady should
understand how to make her home at
tractive for as goes the homes of
America, so goes America. She should
understand household arts.
Then she should understand how to
meet emergency cases if she should
be thrown in the remote and isolated
rural sections.
Lastly she should know how to
swim and with our beautiful 'swim
ming pool, every student is going to
be taught to swim before she leaves.
It will only cost a student $86.00 a
year for board, medical fee and tui-
ion.
It is my great desire to get two
young women from each township in
your county, then to organize them
nto a county team and send them
back as a trained team to do the
strongest uplift service for the home,
church, community, blessing our state,
nation and the world. Nothing is go
ng to be spared to make the work
next year the highest possible in effi
ciency and proficiency.
Any young lady who wishes a life
training can now get it. We will take
eggs, buttlr, chickens, and canned
goods on her tuition. She can send
herself through on blackberries, corn,
beans, beets, pumpkins, tomatoes, even
sausage provided it is very nice. I
shall be very happy to hear from any
young lady in your community who
wishes to make her life a blessing.
Especially do I wish to see your coun
ty have a team for training with us
at least two from each township.

RIGHT AND PPJVILEGE
The Norih Carolina Bill of rights
declares: the people have the right
to the privilege of education and it
is the duty of the State to guard and
maintain that right.
In the year 1913-14 the total school
population of North Carolina was
778,283. Of this number 599,647 were
enrolled in the schocls and 408,464 1
were in daily attendance. That means
that nearly one-half the people en
titled to the rights of education in
this State did not receive them.
Whose fault is it? News Letter.

WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT?

can do in vour school this next winter
for -the 49,000 illiterate white male
voters in North Carolina?
Have you planned how you will help"

ten years of age and over in our
State?
Does it concern you that North
Carolina has six per cent, more illit

than the average - for the United
States as a whole ?
What can you do about it? News

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh m some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good. .
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by 'enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.
Scott Bownt. KloomS1d, W. . .
North Carolina boys and girls are
manifesting much interest in the poul
try clubs of the South. Five counties
have 21 clubs with a membership of
291 boys and girls. Girls are fully as
enthusiastic as boys about these clubs.
Poultry club work in the South was
begun in 1913, with a membership of
153 and has advanced until there are
now 3,800 members enrolled.

NOTICE
It appearing to the Board that the

sundry persons from the payment of

and still other? generally, and still
orhfra for irood and all: and whereas,
it appears to the Board that some of
the persons so exempted are no longer

no longer proper subjects for poll tax
exemption; and whereas, it further ap

quiring them, if they still think them
selves fit subjects for exemption and
desire to obtain same, to come before

of. NOW, THEREFORE, It is ordered
by the Board that all persons, citizens,
