Sampson is not the only North Carolina county where such situa tions exist. There are several where the two parties are fairly evenly divided and feeling runs high ever so often. But Sampson is red hot this year. There have been charges and counter charges filling the all waves and newspaper columns. The Republicans have been “in” for the last 12 years. Democrats have had special investigators dig ging around. They have come up with charges of misuse of office and free-flowing liquor in the dry county. Among other things, it has been discovered that there are a number of displaced persons who have reg istered to vote in Sampson.
