About 35 or 40 absentee ballots were cast in the senatorial contest in this county, but none of them was counted. 'Old Maids' Convention' To . Be Presented at Court House The "Old Maids Convention," which was presented at the Iotla school on May 28, will be given again at 8 p. m., Saturday, June 11, in the courthouse in Franklin. The play attracted a full house when first presented at .

Proceeds from the show will be devoted to the churches of the Iotla community. Fountain Carries Macon but State Gives Ehringhaus Large Plurality WEAVER IS NOMINATED Dean, Rogers and Soleibea Republican Nominee For Commissioner Walter Gibson, Gus Leach and Erwin W. Long were nominated as the Democratic candidates for . county commissioners in last Sat urday's primaries, while John H. Dean, Robert H. Rogers and the Rev. A. S. Solesbee were successful in securing the Republican nominations. Gibson led the contest for the Democratic nomination for com missioner with 812 votes, with Leach running only one- vote be hind. Long was third with 781 votes, 29 more than Jphn O. Har rison, . the fourth high man. W D. Barnard, the present chairman of the board of commissioners, re--ceived 620 votes. Robert Ramsey got 447, while Robert Stamey poll ed 228 and D. J. Moses 168. The primaries passed quietly with a rather light vote. No disorders were reported, except for a few drunks, and there were few ab sentee ballots cast. For profes sional voters it was a bad day, for there were few if any grat uities handed out. C. L. Ingram, former sheriff, was an easy victor over Sam Howard for the Democratic nom ination for representative, while R. A. Patton won a handsome plurality over the candidates from other counties in the 33rd district for the state senatorial -nomination. ' Ehringhaus Wins ' In the primaries for state of ficers Macon gave l-ounain a large plurality over Maxwell and Ehringhaus; but Ehringhaus car ried the state by a tremendous margin. With 1,731 precincts re ported, the vote in the guberna torial contest over the" state stood: Ehringhaus, 161,385; I Maxwell, 98,378, and Fountain, 111,548. Fountain has declared he will wait until the state board of elec tions has made its official canvass before announcing whether he will ask a second primary; but in view -of 40,000 lead piled up by Ehring haus it is regarded a very un likely that the Rocky Mount man will demand a run-off. State Contests The contest for commissioner of labor was the only other State race in which a run-off appeared probable. The six contenders for it made that certain. A. L. Fletch er continued in the lead with 1,308 precincts reported, but only by a small margin, Clarence Mitchell (Continued on page six) Hot Second Primary Looms Between Morrison, Reynolds County Congressional Returns X 2 J2 H 3 1 .a 01 a .0 7i VI 3 3 m (A A w Jt . u J & 8 6 o I a (4 o a 3 4 2 c I - M R e a CO 1 u REPUBLICAN For U.

Sen ator Cameron Morrison having I definitely announced that he will enter a second primary campaign I against Robert R. Reynolds, of Asheville, for the Democratic Sen atorial nomination. Senator Mor rison, a former governor of North Carolina who was appointed to the U. S. Senate by Governor Gardner following the -,death of Senator Lee S. Overman, has ap pointed Col. Don H. Scott, of Gra ham, Orange county, as his state campaign manager. His interests in this county will be looked after by Frank I. Murray, clerk of the court. In the first primary last Satur day Reynolds, an Asheville at torney who is running on a plat form calling for' repeal of the 18th Amendment, came out on top with a plurality of approximately, lo 000. With only 16 precincts missr ing from a total of . 1,823 in the . state, the vote stood: Reynolds, 150,049; Morrison, 138,- 605; Tarn C. Bowie, 37,680; Frank Grist, state commissioner of labor, 28,550; Arthur Simmons, Burling ton poultryman, 3,875. Bowie and Grist have announced they would support Reynolds. On the otner nana, some ot me state's leading political fibres have declared they are roady to go out and campaign for Morrison. among them R. A. Doughton, form er lieutenant governor, former speaker of the house, former com missioner of revenue- and former chairman of the state highway commission. Ex-Governor Angus Wilton McLean also has announced he will support Morrison. Although Reynolds carried Ma con county by an easy maron, in dications are that MWrison's VQt will be much larger proportionate ly than he received in the first.
