TWO ATTORNEYS OPPOSE KOONTZ j Johnson and McAnaliy, of High Point, Seek the Solicitor ship. High Point, April 18.—Two His" Point attorneys have tossed their hats into the ring in a bid for the solicitorship of the twelfth judicial district against H. L. Koontz, of Greensboro, who is seeking re-elec tion to the office to which he was appointed to succeed George A. Younce after the Lexington tragedy of early February in which Sheriff James A. Leonard met his death. Charles W. McAnnally and Gaston A. Johnson are the aspirants for the place. McAnnally is a native of High l'oint, a member of the firtu of Gold, McAnnally and Gold, and has been practicing law here for four years since his graduation from the University of North Carolina. Johnson is a native of Camden coun ty, a graduate of Wake Forest, prac ticed law at Elizabeth City before coming here nearly three years ago. Dr. A. G. Jones Stuart Cavalryman A recent item in the press stated that Dr. A. G. Jones, of Walnut Cove, was North Carolina's oldest practicing physician and was a sur geon in the Confederate army. The Item was correct in so far as Dr. Jones i s the State's oldest practicing physician, so far as can be found, but he was not a surgeon in the' the army. Dr. Jones enlisted in the 1 army at the age if IS years and wus assigned to Stuart's cavalry, serving in this capacity throughout the wir and being In a great many fights. Ho was shot through the neck in one battle and 'the surgeon attending him said that If the ball had gone only an lota farther It would have rmear.t death. At another time Dr. Jone« had his horse shot from under him, | leaving him afoot for some time. At! his next birthday Dr. Jone,* will have, reached the ripe old age of eighty-j eight. He is still actively engaged in the practice of medicine, having j taken up the profession just after, the war and graduating at the Rich- j mond Medical College with po.it j graduate work In the New York! City Medical College. The writer observed the doctor yesterday walk ing briskly and without a cane. Mullican's Platform Mr. Editor: Since I announced my candidacy for State Senator from the 23rd dis trict I have had so many inquiries concerning my platform that I beg sufficient space in your columns :o state briefly what I stand for. I shall favor the revalution of all real estate and placing It at its true value in money or what it would sell for. I shall favor the revaluation of all all taxes on real estate for schools and the support of same by taxes from other '.sources. J i 1 believe in suspending temporar.j ily, In times of stress, all non-essen tial offices and departments of both ' State and county. I believe in the reduction of sal-1 aries of State and county officers, at | a time like this, in keeping with the tax payers' ability to pay. I believe the present law govern ing the sale of land for taxes should be repealed and establish a law with I less cost and no penalties. I believe some law should be en acted, if possible, to protect a mail from loss of his home when the en tire nation is in a financial panic. Respectfully, N. S. MI'LLICAN. Announcement. I hereby announce myself es candidate for Sheriff eubject to Democratic primary. JOHN TAYLOR.

WALNUT C O V E|; Burton Residence Burned Sun-, day Afternoon Tuesday' Rothrock Store Building Was Destroyed, Bank Building Damaged, And Other Build ings Partially Burned—Prop erty Insured to Some Extent. / Walnut Cove, April 18.—Fire yesterday afternoon almost complete, ly destroyed the 10-room residence of Miss Lucy Burton here. Most of the furniture down stairs was saved, that in the upper story being de stroyed. The residence was occupied by Alias Burton. Mr. and Mrs. John Burton and .Mr. and Mrs. Luther Friddle. The origin of the fire is unknown but it .was thought to ha*, caught front defective electric w.:_ ins. But for the effective work of the local fire company with ho.se residences near-by would likely have burned. All of the furniture in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Fulton was removed as his home was locat ed so near the burning building. A second lire occurring the past week in Walnut Cove Tuesday morning completely destroyed the two-story store building of A. I'. Rothrock, damaged the State Plan ters Bank building to the extent of probably SSOO, damaged the Boyl-js building several hundred dollars, completely destroyed a buildng be. longing to D. C. Slate and formerly u.-«ed as a pool room. The damage in the Rofhrock building was esti. J . mated at around $4,500. Damage 'on the pool room building around 1 SI,OOO. All of the buildings hud insurance estimated at not over half , the damage. The fire caught In the rear er,l of | the Rothrock building about three . o'clock and was soon discovered by citizens residing near by. The local fire department began work at once and but for the effective work they did the damage would have been much greater. President T. J. Byerly, of the State Planters Bank, was on the scene early today, and with Geo. Fulton. Vice-President, was starting the work of repairing the dam a are to the bank building. The bankV records were not injured. The second floor of the Rothroei; building was used as a Masonic Hall and also by the order of the East ern Star. Monday night the Amer ican Legion held a meeting in the Masonic hall and it was thought probable that some one might have dropped a match or a cigarette that started the fire. t CARD OF THANKS.
