This State Is taking np soil study with great seal and Is far ahead of an otber In this section. The months or July and August are "Black time" for the moonshiners, the officials say, and the reason riven Is that mosquitoes are so oaain tne west ana along the streams that they sorely harrass the moonshiners, while during the great heals the "Wash" sours very quickly.

I will say In reply to the above state' ment that I never said that "one of our prominent men here and a candidate for a county office too, helped to do it, nor never ssld he voted for me. I am not the strsleht out Republican your cor respondent represents me to be. I voted for our Democratic county officers now in office and expect to vote a Democratic ticket at the coming election. No one In our town says that Swansboro went Republican except those who have some object in view. Politics has never been considered in our town elections.
