M U C H SURPRISED
North Carolina yesterday refused
by an overwhelming majority to
call a convention to consider re
peal of the 18th amendment, and,
to make assurance double sure elect
ed an overwhelming majority to
the convention which will never as
semble. Only 16 repeal delegates
were elected as against 104 anti
repealists.
The trend was unmistakable
from the earliest return and applied
alike to rur^l and urban counties,
east and west.
Mecklenburg, considered a battle
ground, and Wake, regarded as
sure for repeal, were the first two
large counties to land safely in the
dry column. Rowan, home county
of Walter Murphy, manager of the
repeal campaign, shortly joined
them although reputed to be one
of the wettest counties in the state.
Some of the traditionally wet ]
counties in the east remained true
to their wet moorings, but other
eastern counties which had been
expected to go wet veered sharply
to the dry column. Alleghany was
the only county west of Raleigh to
vote tor repeal.
Counties with a large Republican
vote went overwhelmingly dry
without exception, the ten to one.

other traditionally Republican coun

'DEAR OLD' PERSON
COUNTY GOES DRY
Only Ten Precincts Heard
From; Gives Majority Of
294 Against Repeal
The vote was very light in yester
day's election, and passed off quiet
ly, with little enthusiasm manifest
ed. Only ten of the precincts had
reported up to 10 o'clock this morn
ing, the rote being as follows:
For repeal Against
Roxboro, 4 precincts 373
Cuningham 9
Dixon's Store 7
Bushy Pork 47
Allensville 26
Olive Hill 7
Hurdle Mills 18
Total 487
There are nine other precincts to j
hear from, but judging by the votel
from the country precincts it is be
lieved the majority against repeal ]
will be in the neighborhood of 500.
The vote for the candidates to
the convention, Rev. S. P. Nicks and
Dr. E. J. Tucker, will run about the
same as that for repeal, Mr. Nicks
having" something like 500 majority.
What" $100 A
Month Will Do
Half this sum would pay the
wages of the hired man whom the
farmer's widow would have to get
to run the farm. The other half
would pay the interest on the mort
e&ge or provide living expenses for
the family.
It gives the widow a chance to re
cover from the shock of the loss she
has suffered before being confront
ed with the worry about money
matters.
If written on the wife, it would
pay the wages of the housekeeper
who would be needed to take care
of the children.
A Jefferson Standard policy will
solve your problems. For further in
