end, but the drunks and drunken driv
ers went on a spree.

verdict, Joe Peel, colored, went to jail.
He had been there only a few hours
when the prosecuting witness in the
case, a woman, called at the jail to
give Joe some cigarettes.
A. B. Dew, charged with driving a
car while intoxicated, ran his car off
the Washington highway to strike
telephone truck parked to one side.
James Bonds, colored, was placed in
jail Sunday nigtirtor running hU Ford
into a Buick sedan operated by Geo.
Wynn, colored, of Windsor. The wreck
was on the Roanoke River fill, but no
one was badly hurt.
Joe Davenport was confined in the
hoosegow to answer a charge of driv
ing a car while intoxicated.
Lizzie Jones was jaile^ on 'an a1*
leged larceny and receiving charge.

EXPECTING FEW
NEW VOTERS TO
BE REGISTERED
Lack of Interest and Heavy
Registration Before Last
Primary Causes
?
Reports received from severs! of the i
12 voting precincts in this county, fol
lowing the first day the books were
opened last Saturday indicate one of
the smallest registrations in years is in
the making. Six of the districts re
porting had added no new names, and
there were said to be few or none in .
others.
Several reasons have been advanced
for a small registration this year. The
first one is centered around a lack of
contests and resulting interest. As
far as the contests are concerned, very |
few votes would be cast in the next
November 6 election. The few faithful
Republicans will turn out to vote for
their candidates, while the Democrats
are expected to turn out in fair-sized
numbers to express mainly their sup
port of the New Deal, a rather worthy
thing t<> support in this tobacco sec
tion.
Another reason for the expected
small registration was advanced in the '
last June and July primaries, when
the Democratic candidates raked the
cijuntry for voters and urged every one
becoming 21 years of age by next
month'to register and take part in the 1
primaries. And those candidate- must
have done a pretty good job of it, for
one registrar said that the only hope
for a new name on his hooks was for
some one to move into his precinct
between now and the time the books
close.
The registration books will he open
for new electors next Saturday for the
last time. On the following Saturday
they will he open for challenge only.
