DANBURY REPORTER Volume LI. NO PRIMARY FOR STOKES At Least County Officers Will ,Be Nominated In Convention, As Usual—Letter From At torney General. It has been the general opin ion here that Stokes county wan placed back under the State I primary law by an act of the last Legislature, but an investi-1 gation of the matter reveals the | fact that such an act did not • pass the Senate, although in-; "troduced in the House. There ' fore, candidates for office in Stokes county will be nomina ted this year in convention, as usual. Of course candidates for State offices will be nomina ted in the primary. A letter received here this week from Attorney Genera! Manning in regard to the mat tei leads ris follows : Stekes county was originally excepted from the primary law with reference to the nomina tion of county officers. In 1017 this exception was stricken out. At the extra session of 1920 it was again reinstated, thus making the general pri mary law inapplicable to Stokes county in nominating county officers. Since this act of the extra session, we have found nothing that changes the situa tion. King Pools Nearly Million Pounds Weed R. C.
