! Large Attendance At Republican
Primaries Saturday — Other
! Items.
Walnut Cove, July 29.—With
probably the largest attendance
of any ever held here the Re
publicans of this precinct met
Saturday for the purpose of
electing delegates to the county
convention to be held at Danbury
next Saturday. A slight wave
of dissension was noticeable in
the meeting and three sets of
delegates were placed in nomin
ation by the contesting factions.
When the ballot was taken
Messrs. A. W. Davis, Wesley
Mabe. D. A. Boles, J. F. Hawkins,
and A. J. Fair were declared ths
elected delegates. When the
vote was taken for office of
Treasurer Fagg received 37,
Glidewell 37 and Petree 8 and
delegates were instructed to cast
their vote at the county conven
tion exactly in this proportion.
A section was made and carried
unanimously instructing the
delegates to vote for the abolish
ment of the famous two-term
resolution. Although the pri
mary passed cff quitely theie is
a 'feeling in their air which
means interesting times are
assured in the county conven
tion.
Quite a great deal of excite
ment was occasioned on Main
Street late Saturday evening
when Policeman Smith attempt
ed to arrest a gentleman who
had imbibed too freely of corn
juice and was expounding his
! convictions in a loud and pro
fane tone of voic?, without re
gard .to the wishes of his au
dience. After several attempts
to escort his prisoner to the
lockup the officer turned the
loaded victim over to his friends
who agreed to care for him.
During the struggle several
gathered arouuJ and it looked
for a while as if there would be a
general mixup.
Just after midnight Saturday
while on his way home from
his barber s'lop Mr. V. W. Him.
was held up by a gang of men
and would have been robbed of
a considerable amount of money
had he not ran at full speed to
to his home where he secured a
gun to defend himself. In the
meantime the rob'oers had fol
lowed him into his yard and
several shots were exchanged
before he left him alone. Dur
ing the same night the store of
Garfield Hairston was broken
into but nothing was taken.
A colored.man who was crossing
the street near the store had
a lantern shot to pieces in his
had and barely escaped with his
life.
The sound of the hammer and
saw can de hecrd incessantly on
every side during these summer
months and every stroke is
significant of the growth and
progress of Walnut Cove. The
new warehouse is being rapidly
built, the new brick garage al
most completed, and several
new residences are in course tf
construction.
