STOKES PRIMARY BIDS FAIR TO BE LIVELY OCCASION As Many As Three Candidates in Same Party Have Filed For Same Offices—Second Primary For Some Contestants Almost Certain—Commissioner Williamson Withdraws His Name- Time For Filing Expires Saturday. The primary in Stokes, Munich ten days ago looked like it was go ing to be a very tame affair, has assumed quite a different aspect. This week candidates have bean en tering their names at a rapid rate ami sonic of the offices are being sought by three or more aspirants of one political faith. For instanc: there are three Democratic and three Republican candidates for Sheriff so far with a possibility that * there will be still others before th>: time for entries expires on Saturday at midnight. ! Only one name filed so far has been withdrawn. It was that of H. If. Williamson, Democrat, for coun ty commissioner. In withdrawing, Mr. Williamson stated that uis name had been entered by some of his friends without his knowledge, and that he would not be a candidate for re-election or for any other political office. Otis T. Shelton, of Sandy Ridge, who has been repeatedly spoken of as a candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic side, stated to frien Is this week that he would not allow his name to go before the voters in the primary. With the number of candidates who have entered, and with no indi cation of any of them withdrawing, it looks now like a second primary will be an absolute certainly in order to select candidates for both parties for some of the offices. When three candidates of the same : v; warty are aspirtmts for )the same _. office, unless one of the number gets ' nvore than half of the whole vote, the two highest must be voted upon in a second primary. Candidates for county offices have filed as follows: FOR SHERIFF: S. P. Dearmin, D. J. F. Dunlap, R. Roy E. Leake, D. I J. R. Nunn, R. E. R. Nelson, R. Luther Williams, D. FOR CLERK SUPERIOR COURT: B. Pinnix Bailey, D. A. J. Fagg, R. W. Sanders Hart, D. J. W. A. Dodson, D. FOR REGISTER DEEDS: J. John Taylor, D. J. R. Bowen, R. J. E. Ward, D. R. N. Browder, R. FOR STATE SENATE: O. E. Snow, D. S. 0. Maguire, R. FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES: C. O. Boyles, R. R. B. Tuttle, D. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: F. S. Ross, D. Dr. R. S. Helsabeck, R. J. W. Talley, R. S. F. Fulk, R. Rufus Woods, R. FOR CORONER: Dr. C. J. Helsabeck, R. FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION: W. P. Ray, D. The name of only one Democrat ■>' has been filed so far for county com missioner and one for member of 5 board of education, while there is no candidate for coroner on the Democratic ticket up to this time. Dr. J. W. Neal, Walnut Cove /Tienwxrat, declines to allow his \.ame to be entered as a candidate for House of Represetatives, accord ing to information received hei'e yesterday. It is stated that Roger Kiser, Re publican of Yadkin township, will file for Clerk of Court. H. McOee, Republican, of German ton, is being recommended as can didate for a nfember of the Board of Education. COLLEGE GIRLS COME TO STOKES I | Students of N. C. College For Women At Greensboro Studying Botany In Forests Around Piedmont Springs. Twenty-five or thirty young lady students of the North Carolina Col- j lege for Women, representing a I dozen states of the Union, and ac companied by two or three teachers, spent several days the past wee in tents erected near Piedmont Springs. The object of the stay in th->, Stokes forests was to give the: young students an opportunity t> study botany. At this season of the! I , . ■ .. I year the forests of this section arc full of (lowers of many varities an.l it was the idea of the botany teach er at the State college that more rapid progress could be made in the study by spending a few days in the forests and seeing the flower-, etc., in their wild or natural state. The students were from the soph mpre, junior and senior classes. : WALNUT COVE ROAD SHORTER Distance From Danbury Is Only Nine and One-Tenth Miles By New Highway— High Fill At Bridge Here. i The distance from; Danbury to j Walnut Cove will be only nine and , one-tenth over the new high jway, according to Engineer W. C. Kanoy, who has charge of the build ing of the road. This measurement !of the road was made with a steel I tape. Speedometers on automobiles make the distance to Walnut Cove over the present or old road about ten and a half miles, so that th-! new road will shorten the mileage around one and a half miles. Mr. Kanoy states that there will be only three or four curves of a..y consequence between Danbury an.l Meadows and these will be easy enough so that drivers may take them at 35 to 40 miles if they care to. The fills to be made at each en.l of the handsome concrete bifdge here will likely require the services of Contractor Carter's two steam shovels for several days. The engineer estimates off hand that it will require something near fifteen thousand cubic yards of dirt for the work. From the north end of the concrete bridge it is only a few hundred feet to the bridge and road leading to Hartrrtan and, as the contractor has to borrow dirt for the big fills, he has offered to put a cut thru the hill connecting the two roads and bridges without cost to the county. When this is done cars traveling between Hartman and Walnut Cove will not have to , come up through town. The short I cut between the two bridges will bo ! practically level. R. L. Doss, of Lawsonville, was a visitor here Monday. Danbury, N. C., Wed STOKES PEOPLE HIGHLY ELATED Over Prospect of Paved Road Between County Seat and Outside World Contract May Bo Let Soon. Formal contract between the | State Highway Commission and the Stokes Board of Commissioners has been executed for the paving of the Danbury-Walnut Cove highway. Tho funds which the county will loan the State for building the road are available whenever the State is ready, and it looks like it only re mains now for the Highway Coin mission to award contract for the work. Just when contract will be award ed is not known here but it will like ly be done at the next regular let ting of contracts by the Commission. Needless to say Stokes county people-seventy-five per cent, of whom use the road ntcntioned --are highly elated over the prospect of being connected up with the out- J side world.
