fight promises to be a hot one,
and close. No out and out Labor
Union candidete has ever been
sent to the Legislature, and the
State at large will watch this ef
fort of the Labor Unions to break
into politics with keen interest.
There were 14 candidates for
County Commissioners, from
which 5 men had to be selected.
As it required something over
2000 votes for a nomination, and
as only two men got above this
figure, bnly two were nominated:
and the next six highest will
have to run again in order to
select the three remaining Com
missioners. The two who won
out are H. D. Batch, ot Hamlet,
with 2657 votes, and A. T. White,
of Ellerbe, with 2319. The next
six highest, and these are the
ones to run again, are: McNeill
1772, Caddell 175c, Wall 1651,
Frutchey 1570, Capel 1232, Cole
1197. Gibson lacked only 26
votes of being in the second
primary.

PRIMARY RESULT
(Continued from front pae)
sell of around 65.
As can be seen elsewhere in this issue, the four candidates for
Sheriff and Clerk of Court-Carl C. Shores, Homer D. Baldwin, W.
S. Thomas and H. P. Austin have signed a pledge not to spend
money in the second primary other than for legitimate expenses
The pledge speaks for itself. Read it.
The primary last Saturday brought out a big vote, 4055 votes
were cast for Sheriff, 3996 for Clerk, 3970 for Judge, 3941 for Cor
poration Commissioner, 3929 for Register of Deeds, 3918 for Solici
tor and only 3880 for Senator. A pretty wide range, and evidences
a lot of scratching.
Judge Walter E. Brock carried
the county with a majority of 362
for Judge of this district over
A. M. Stack. But Mr. Stack won
the nomination by polling a huge
majority in his home county of
Union. Mr. Brock carried 5 out
ot the 6 counties that compose
the district, as follows: Anson
1989, Moore 780, Richmond 362,
Stanly 185, Scotland 115, making
a total of 3522. However Mr.
Stack offset this by getting a
majority of 3708 in Union county,
and thus defeating Mr. Brock by
a majority of 286.
For Sheriff Homer Baldwin
and Carl Shores will be in the
second primary, Baldwin receiv
ing 1679, Shores 1223, J. B. Rey
nolds 1066 andMcLaurin87. The
contest for Sheriff is always the
closest and brings out the most
votes, 59 more voters expressing
themselves for Sheriff than voted
for the next highest, the Clerk of
Court. As a matter of fact 643
more voters took part in this
primary than voted the Demo
cratic ticket Nov. 2, 1920-3412
Democrats having voted then.
Either some Republicans sneaked
in last Saturday, or just more
Democrats came out than was
the case two years ago. The
contest for the next three weeks
between Baldwin ann Shores will
be a hot one.
And no less close will be the
second primary for Clerk ot
Court which is to be run off by
W. S. Thomas and H. P. Austin.
Thomas led with 1668 votes to
1481 for Austin. T. L. Covington
came third with 495 and C. E. D.
Egerton fourth with 352.
R. L. Johnson won handily for
Register of Deeds, by getting
2054 to 980 for R. B. Terry and
1 896 for Henry L. Guthrie. John
son secured a majority of the
votes cast so is the nominee with
out the necessity of a second
i primary.
j For Corporation Commissioner
j W. T. Lee got a majority of 291
! over A. C. Avery, the Lee vote
i being 1704 to 1413 for Avery.
J Lee's majority over Avery for
Corporation Commissipner was
about 19,000.
i For State Senate there will be
a second primary between W. E
Harrison and Arthur E. Muse,
the Labor Union candidate. Mr.
Harrison received 1618 votes to
1695 for Mr. Mnse. Atty. Wade
Sanders had 567 votes. This
