Surry County politic* have been; -low about (rttlnt warmed up but the past few days have hi aught about many moves that have lade the ait uation in the county interesting IT not. complex in imm of Ha phases. One of the irreatest surprises that haal ment made by the Mount Airy Star, Mount Airy'* new paper, last weak that W. F. Carter was a candidate for Jodft of the Recorder's Court, in -opposition to the preaent incumbent. Judge H. H Uw*l)n. The fact that Mr. Cartar waa even a receptive can didate for thia oCee waa not known by the public until laat weak and hia , entrance into the raee forecast* a hard eantast between the friends of the two men. Some of the politi ciana aae in the contest between Mr. Carter and Judge Lewellyn a serious injury to the results of the coming election. While <he office of R*-<-'<rder is now Appointive and left in the hands of the Governor, yet it is point ed out by those interested in the out come of the election of the county of - Ada Is that this other contest develop ing within the very ranks of the Dem ocratic party will prove very damag ing. It is further pointed out that it! will be natural for the next two i weeks for friends of the two candi dates to busy themselves with toting petition^ around and arraying friends afainst friends at a time when work for the county ticket is so essential and badly needed. _ The nomination and election of a Recorder for this township has al ways waant a hard fight for the suc cessful one, and at times harmony In the Democratic ranks has been ser iously threatened over the outcome of the nomination and resulting election. In the face of all opposition and nwiin tiwir i^eweuyn nan (om through t»d pnmariea and two elec tion» with a uft majority, attesting the approval of the people in the con dart of the office for which He waa elected.

Carter for intro duction it did n»t meet with his ap proval and after afna diacuaaion Sen ator Carter iitiwhrnd and had paaaad a bill placing the aelectioa of the Re corder la the handa of the Governor. Now that thia method of aelaoHoa haa boon adopted it waa hoped that it would do away with all ft lata over the -oSea, but ttnM indication" that are developing among the frienda of Mr. Carter and Judge Lewellyn it would appear that the oftee ia *tlU determined to give the Democratic party leader* considerable worry. The term of Judge Lewellyn doea not aspire until December and party leaden who ara intereated in the auc eeaa of thcDemocratic ticket in the county regret the early con teat that ia being waged between the frienda of the two aaptraata to thia oOca in their behalf. Rather had .they pre ferred the matter held In abeyance until after the election, and aeon all parties ia both camp* lined up and working for nothing but the Demo cratic nominee* that art atanding for •taction. ' There ia no denying the fact that there haa developed a atrong organi sation in the Democratic ranka in thia county with the youncer blood of the party naaerting Ita strength and thia atrength haa ahown itself in the out come of the election for the pa at four year*. The old order ia chang ing, older head* are destined to give aray to the youth of the party, to the vigilant and more energetic of the day, hut all thia ii not taking place without aoaaa_4l»*ppointment And It ia Nothing but natural for the Republican* to view with pteae urc any difference* in the ranka of the .Democratic party right on the eve of the election. They are work ing hard from all indication* and the Candida tea are making a ranvnaa of the county and wrorking as they have not in the pa at two electiona. One r»f their highest speakers, Hon. John son J. Ha yea, will be ia the county thia waek and beatir the member* of his party with hia masterful tongue. Much personal work by the Demo cratic Candida tea is being done and J. H. Kolger. candidate for the house, this week started a speaking tour of the county which will take Kim into tvwjf i*xjk and eorner >ilwn> this two or three times a day a ad naUni una of the souet strenuous campaigns ever undertaken by any candidate in the county. Tha ordrr for tha printing of tha ballot, ia naw ia tha hand* of tha printers. A total of forty-ftve thous and hallots wiU ha reared far tha county. Fifteen thousand far the county, state and township ticket*. I-aat election the township ticketa war® prepared in tha old way, hut thia year tha}- at* also being printed aa prescribed in tha Auatraiian ballot law. ' All Democratic candidal— are plac ed in one column on the tickets and the Rapoblieans in the other column. Over each column ia a circle in which one makea a mark if he deaires to rote tha straight ticket in that column. And opposite each name ia a tittle square that the voter can uae if he wiahaa to scratch hia ticket. In the preparation' of baliota by the state where two or more Candida tea are soaking the same uOce it has been the custom to print half the ballots with one man's name ftrst1 and the other half with hia opponent's name ftrst And following the prac tice of the state hoard, tha county board ia also having the ballots print ed in alternate manner, that ia on half the ballots the Democratic candi dates are printed in the A rat column and the other half the Republicans are printed ftrst. This mahner of printing the hallota has brought forth a vigorous protest from the Republi can party leaders, they -contending that this was done to confuse the voter. The Republicans have alao made demand upon the chairman of the election board and the registrars that they he allowed an equal num ber of markers. One fellow in an swer to this demand of the Republi cans asked the qnaatlon: "Have the Republicans equally divided the rev enue oflkes and tha poet tScaa with the Democrats in thia ceuntyf The question of markers proved to he a" hard matter to settle two yeara ago and there is still wrangling over it again.
