At M. P. Church
Large Congregations Attending
Despite Rain; Mr. Carroll
Is An Able Preacher.
Many Asheboro people 'have been
interested in the evangelistic ser
vices held at the Methodist Protest -
and church each evening during this
week. Large congregations have
been present, despite the continued
rain, to hear Rev. Elwood Carrol,
pastor of Grace Church, Greensboro,
who is preaching sermons of in
terest and worth.
Rev. Mr. Carroll attended High
Point college after graduating at
Reidsville nigh school. He then
attended Duke University, receiving
his Master’s degree in 1930. During
the time he was a student at High
Point and Duke colleges, he served
pastorates at Denton and on Mt.
Hermcn circuit in Alamance county.
For a year and a half, Rev. Mr.
Carroll served the Asheville M. P.
church, coming to Grace church in
Greensboro, last November.
While one of the younger men
of the Conference, Rev. Mr. Carroll
has already become known as “a
builder.” During his pastorate on the
Mt Hermon circuit he launched a
building program which resulted in
the erecting of three new structures,
two of which were paid for and de
dicated under his pastorate. During
this same period, he led the entire
conference in membership work.
Not only is Rev. Mr. Carroll a
minister of ability, but he is inter
ested in many things of the world
about him. Sports take a big 'place
in his interest, and while at High
Point College, he played guard on
the football team. His interest
branches out into the field of de
bating and music, being a member
of the college bands in several in
stances.
The public is invited to the ser
vices at" the Methodist Protestant
church which will be held Thursday,
Friday and Sunday evenings at 7:30

: J
Mr. Cooley Won Sweeping V!c-<
tory In Primary Saturday
In The Fourth District.
Gets A Majority
Over Whole Field
High Man In Every County Is
The District Except Vance
And Johnston Counties.
Harold D. Cooley, young Nash coun
ty attorney, will succeed the late
Edward W. Pou, of Smithfield, as
Congressman from the fourth North
Carolina district.
Mr. Cooley in the primary Satur
day obtained the largest number
of votes of any of the five candi
dates in the field and about 800
votes more than his four opponents
all together. Mr. Cooley, on the
basis of unofficial returns, received
27,228 votes; George Ross Pou, of
Raleigh, 19,397; Jere P. Zollicoffer,
of Henderson, 6,241; W. F. Evans, of
Raleigh, 418; Palmer E. Bailey, of
Raleigh, 331.
The candidates had agreed among
themselves that the hdgh man in the
contest would be declared the party’s >
nominee, but this was unnecessary
considering the great vote-getting
power of the Nash county man. Mr.
Cooley was high man in every coun
ty in the district except Johnston,
in which Mr. Pou led, and in Vance,
where Mr. Zollicoffer led.
Wake county gave Mr. Cooley a
slight margin over Mr. Pou, so did
Chatham and Randolph, while Mr.
Cooley carried Franklin over all
candidates and was next high t®
Mr. Zollicoffer in Vance and in
Johnston received more than 3,009.
votes to about 5,000 for Mr. Pou.
In his home county, Nash, Mr.
Cooley polled 7,092 votes to less
than 900 for all his opponents.
The fourth district is predominate
ly Democratic, the late Edward W.
Pou having been elected in 1932 by
a majority of more than 32,000.
Therefore, since the candidates
agreed also that the man nominated
Saturday should be the nominee for
the short term, Mr. Cooley will be
certified as the Democratic nominee
for both the unexpired term of Mr.
Pou and the full term beginning aft
er the election. Though the Repub
licans have a nominee for the regular
term it is not anticipated that they
will contest the short term election
and Mr. Cooley will be certified as
Congressman from the district for
the short term without opposition.
The fourth district race was one
of the hottest the state has witness
ed in years. Supporters of both Mr.
Pou and Mr. Cooley .avered their
candidate would run high, and many
supporters of each claimed their
man would beat the field. The Pou
folks scoffed at the Cooley claims,
' while the Cooley folks were skepti
I cal—and the results showed rightly
| so—of the Pou claims to a majority
in the primary Saturday. The great
est disappointment of the whole cam
paign perhaps was the poor showing
of Jere P. Zollicoffer. The Cooley
people claimed that Pou and Zolli
coffer would be making a close race
for second place, while the Pou pro
tagonists were equally as sure that
Zollicoffer would push the Nash
county man for second high.
Anyway, it was a great fight, good
natured all around, and supporters
of all candidates fought their bat
tles on the highest plane. It was
a friendly contest, but a hot one.
Without Opposition
Three justices of the Supremo
Court have been certified as Demo
cratic nominees, these having had no
opposition in the primary Saturday.
These are: Chief Justice W. P.
Stacey and Associate Justices Heriot
Clarkson and Michael Schenck.
State Treasurer Charles M. John
son was also without opposition.
Three Congressmen were without
opposition: Walter Lambeth in the
Eight; Lindsay Warren in the Severn
th; and R. L. Doughton in the Ninth.
Judges of the Superior Court who
were unopposed in Saturday’s pri
mary are: R. Hunt Parker, third dis
trict; W. C. Harris, seventh; John
M. Oglesby, fifteenth; John H. Clem
ent, eleventh; P. A. McElroy, nine
teenth.
