DANBURY REPORTER Volume 57. GUILFORD IS ASKING TOO MUCH Solicitor Spruill Thinks That County Is Not Entitled To Both Judge and Solicitor— Stokes and Davidson Agree With Him. Frv>m High Point Enterprise, 23rd. The so-called "upper end" of the 12th judicial district is de termined not to let Greensboro have both the judge and the so licitor; so now Davidson coun ty is advocating the election of John D. Humphreys, of Dan bury, Stokes county, for the judgeship. The two Greens-j boro candidates for the judge ship are Thomas C. Hovle and A. Way land Cooke. Supporters of Mr. Humph reys are . pointing out that Greensboro has had the judge ship for many years and that in the past the solicitor has been furnished by Davidson county. They say that Stokes has never asked to bo allowed I to furnish the. judge or the solicitor before and that Stokes has always supported the Guil ford and Davidson men. Now, they are advocating a return lavor. J. F. Spruill, the retiring so licitor, was in High Point last night with Mr. Humphreys, meeting a few friends here. Mi". Spruill, who has served as soli citor for a number of years, is not a candidate for re-election, but he was frank to say last night that he did not feel Guil ford county should ask to be allowed to furnish both the judge and the solicitor. John Bower and other prominent Davidson county leaders are' advocating the election of the' Stokes county candidate.

Humphreys, dean of! the Stokes county bar, and can didate for Judge in the 12th district, was a visitor in Thom asville Saturday.

The Lexington bal last week unanimously endors- j ed the Stokes candidate, and : the Thomasville bar this week i took the same action. If one is clever in dodging ex- j pen#eh he will not have to meet j them. _ ' Established 1872. PETER J.
