compiled following the receipt
l^-of complete official returns from,
WMrteret County. ?
I J Vrixielle had a majority of nine1
votes from his leads in Greene and
Pitt counties over the majorities ac
corded hi* opponent, Judge Nunn in
Craves, Jones and Pamlico counties.
This afternoon it was learned from
D. EL Laagsdale, of Beaufort, chair
man of the Carteret county hoard of
elections, that Carteret county had
given Frixzelle a majority of 187
votes. :
Frirzelle received there 1,814 to
1,177 for Nunn. .. .
It is indicated also that D. M.
Clark of Greenville, had won the race
for solicitor of the Fifth District by
a majority of around 1,400 votes. He
is the present incumbent of tins of
fice and was opposed by Thomas 0.
Moore of New Bern.

The fight in these two nous was
one of tiie moat uncertain in the pri
mary. The returns from the remote
sections of the district were slow in
trickling into headquarters of each of
the candidates and a complete tabu
lation of votes was late.
Aside from the race for the U. S.
Senate, the contest in the Fifth Dis
trict has overshadowed virtually all
other fields, and especially after it
seemed impossible to obtain the vote
from the remote _pretincts. The re
port was received with more than
usual interest and relieved much, of
the uncertainty and suspense that has
existed since the. primary. *

Yet in Italy today, there is only one'

farm was-at its peak, we had mora

the rest of the world.
In the form of tractors and othrtf;
power-driven machinery we had more

the farms in 1900, thirty years ago.
In manufacturing industry less power
was in use per worker than on the
farm.
The same proportion obtained down
to 1925. It is onl the past five
years that workers in industry have
had more mechanical power per man
