However, the filing was useless, as the name of neither candidate will be placed on the bE.llots to be vcted in June due to the fact that Mr. Allen was appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to fill an unexpired term in a fouryear office which will not be open for opposition for two years hence. Mr. Allen had been advised by attorneys that it would not be nec essary for him to run this year, our to be on the safe side he stepped across the hall into the Clerk's office and filed notice of his candidacy at about two minutes to 6 o'clock, which was less than five minutes after Mr. Robertson surI prised political observers and progI nosticators by giving notice of his candidacy for the office of Register of Deeds. In order to be fair to both candidates and at the same time protect itself, the County Board of Elections secured a ruling cn Wednesday from Raymond C Maxwell of the State Board of Elections which was in effect that Mr. Allen would not have to be a candidate and that the names of both men should be omitted by the County Board of Elections from the ballots which are to be voted in the June primary. Mr. Maxwell's ruling, which was based on a ruling he secured from Attorney General A. F. Seawell, also notified the County Board of Elections that the filing fee should be returned to both Mr. Allen and Mr. Robertson. Graham Debaters Make Good Showing The John Graham High School foam nnmnosed of John | ULuai/iiiQ A? ? Long and Sam Allgood on the affirmative and Dick Ward and Kitty Wilson on the negative, advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated in the annual statewide debates held at Chapel Hill last week with 243 teams participating. The debates were held in sixteen independent sections with four affirmative and four negative teams in each section. The two John Graham teams were in sections eleven and sixteen. From each section one negative and one affirmative team was chosen. The John Graham team won out in both sections, defeating such schools as Hugh Mcrson of Raleigh, Wendell, anH mropnviiip This was regarded as an outstanding achievement, as John Graham was one of six schools to win on both sides. Sixteen schools were eliminated by the local debaters. In the second preliminary sixteen affirmative teams and a like number of negative teams gave their respective speeches, and from these the best affirmative and negative teams were chosen. John Graham failed to win out in this competition. This is the first time in the history of the new John Graham High School that any debating team has entered the competition at Chapel Hill, and the first team from Warren county in ten or twelve years, it was stated. Speaking of the commendable showing that the local team made at Chapel Hill, Principal Paul Ccoper stated: "The school is very nrnnd of the teams, and especially proud of the coach, Mr. Wm. W. Seward Jr., whose expert guidance and assistance has made the honors given the teams possible-" While in Chapel Hill the Warrenton boys stayed at the P. K. A. Fraternity House.
