FEW VOTE
AT PRIMARY
In a primary election marked
by the absence of a contest for
nomination for County Officers,
I
and a relatively light vote at-1
tributed partly to the gas and
tire situation, he Democratic vot
ers of Stokes county have Hon.
John H. Folger, seeking me nom
ination to succeed himself a s
United States Congressman for
the Fifth District, a majority of
1803 over his two opponents in
the May 30th Election. This vote
although not as heavy as we are
accustomed to in peace time, is
certainly to be considered as an
indication of the Democratic pop
ularity of Mr. Folger among the
people of Stokes county.
The only other candidate voted
on by the Democrats of this coun
ty were Josiah W. Bailey, who re
ceived a majority of 1390 over
his opponent, Richard T. Foun
tain, for U. S. Senator.
The Republicans voting only to
nominate a candidate for the U.
S. Senate, expressed their choice
in this county by giving Sam J
Morris 103 votes and his oppon
ent, Stone, W. Klutz, 23 votes.

Born To Ellingtons
A six pound, 8 ounce daughter,
Margaret Bonner, was bom to Mr.

day morning at the Baptist Hos
pital, Winston-Salem.

eyes and is 12 inches in height.
Gilmer Hawkins, Col.,

about 38, died Friday night at his

eral years. He suffered an attack

Visitors To Park
Are Increasing
Due to the hot summer weather
and the minor fact of gasoline and
| tire ration, the number of visitors
to the Hanging Rock Park is in
creasing. The park affords cool,
pleasant mountain atmosphere
and is the first place for complefe
relaxation..
Stokes Tobacco
Gets Good Stand
Most of Stokes county golden
weed is off to a good start. The
crop is growing fine and disease
is reported to be slight. It is un
