by Hon. A. D. Ivie, of Spray,
who is a candidate for the
Senate in Rockingham. Mr.
Ivie was staying over at the
Springs, and chancing to be in
the audience was called on by

not possibly accept. Mr. Fer- ,
guson replied that he would

PINE HALL AFFAIRS
PLEASED WITH MR. LINVILLE
Pine Hall Folks Like Candidate For
Sheriff—Whiskey Traffic In Open
Daylight Junior Order Makes
Fine Befinninf.
Pine Hall, Aug. 29—Our people
are well pleased with the choice
of the convention for Sheriff, Mr.
P. H. Linville. We don't know
the other candidates, but suppose
they are all good men or they
could not have been nominated
by a Democratic convention.
Crops have improved very
much since the rains, and the
prospect is very good.
Mr. A. R. Bennett of Brown's
, Warehouse at Winston, was
here Saturday.
I Mrs. Duke Hays, the Home
j Missionary organizer, organized
! a society at Pine Hall church last
Monday. Mrs. Hays has a talent
for such work. Our people were
glad to have her with us and will
be delighted to have her come
j again.
Miss Annie Martin, of Win
ston, has been visiting at Mr. W.
M. Chisman's.
Miss Trudie Welfare, of Win
ston, is visiting Miss Lelia Flinn.
It is said that a party is hauling
whiskey through this section reg
ularly in a two-horse wagon in
broad open daylight along the
public highway. Where are our
officers ? It is a reflection on our
officials to have the laws of our
land violated openly and in de
fiance of the laws.
The goed sober Republicans
who stand for the best interests
of the State should not be de
ceived. There is something that
sounds like the whiskey interest
i behind the local option plank
lin their platform. The party that
I would open barrooms again in
! North Carolina ought to be buried
! deeper than a thunder bolt for an
| age.
' We don't know of but two
! prominent Socialists in this sec
! tion. Neither of those fellows go
to church. Can anyone explain
this ? If this is Socialism, we
say deliver us from Socialism.
