BOOST FARMVILLE EVERY DAY! . . ^ i ■ H ; VOLUME THIRTY-NINE. PAKMVILLK, PITT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNH 25, 1948 . ..: NUMBER SEVEN Raleigh Round-Up By Eula Nixon Greenwood NO ABSENTEES—The fact that there can be no absentee ballots cast in the Primary—either first or sec ond—seems to be sharply changing the old political pattern 'that politi cians of this State used to their ad vantage in other days. The absentee ballot beat Dick Fountain in 1932. It downed Dr. Ralph McDonald in 1936. It has now gone the way of the buf falo and takes its place in the realm of lamplight, the horse and buggy, and half-forgotten things. THAT OLD BLACK MAPIC — If the pattern which was set in 1932, and which was followed in 1936 and 1944, and to some extent in 1940, „ holds this time, Johnson will be your next Governor. But indications are that it just is not holding. It’s rip ping at the seams. It is disintegrat ing, falling apart. All the old tricks are being used, but they don’t seem to be working. That old black ma gic has lost its power. Money is be ing used by the bucketful, but what is money worth these days? NOT PASQUOTANK — Former Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus went on the radio last week in behalf of Charles M. Johnson. It was a won derful speech. Ehringhaus, a charm ing gentleman, pulled out aH the stops. But reports 'from Northeast ern North Carolina, which nurtured him in his youth and sent him to Ra leigh in 1932, where he has since re mained, say this section is still for Kerr Scott, “Ehringhaus or no Eh ringhaus.” AYCOCK INFLUENCE—The great Charles B. Aycock, known as the father of education in North Caro lina, ha® been dead for nearly 40 years. However, last week found his son-in-law and his grandson speaking for Kerr Scott. Major L. P. McLen don of Greensboro, chairman at the recent State Democratic Convention, spoke for Scott at a rally in Rox boro. Charles Poe, son of Dr. Clar ence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, and Aycock* grandson, wart on the radio for Kerr Scott. THE NEW DAY — There is no stronger Scott supporter in North Carolina than Clarence Poe. He isn't saying much about it publicly—in fact, nothing—but he is of the opin ion that a new day is now dawning for North Carolina. CAM MORRISON — The grandest old Democrat of them all, Cam Mor rison, made speeches last week for Charles M. Johnson. He has lost a lot of his vigor, but the fire is still there. And so two of our four liv ing ex-Govemors are for Johnsoiw Ehringhaus and Morrison. However, the late Max Gardner’s son-in-law, Senator Clyde R. Hoey, is strangely silent, and so is the other ex-Govern or, J. M. Broughton, NOT COMING OUT — There was some opinion three weeks ago that Gov. R. Gregg Cherry might come out for Charles M. Johnson, but it can be said definitely now that he will not. Also, Secretary of State Thad Eure says he has written no letters for Kerr Sfcott—mot one let ter, ^rnd some of his friends who felt that the Johnson forces brought out John Armstrong against him have criticized him for staying out of it. PREDICTION—Visits in many sec tions of the State and'reports which have been received from the other sections within the past three days lead this column to predict that Kerr Scott will defeat State Treasurer Charles M. Johnson by 4 minimum of 20,000 votes on Saturday. This would result in great changes in Raleigh. A further prediction: If this bay one of Scott’s first moves will tremendous rural road-building There are seven one can take to his .HI Farmville Wins Two Games And Takes Third Spot In League Farmville defeated Walstonburg in two games last week end and moved into undisputed possession of third place in the Bright Leaf league.
