The polls will be open for 12 hours, from 6:30 a. m. to 6:30 p. m. Without the help of a gubernato rial or presidential race, the primary is not expected to attract as many voters as would ordinarily be the case. The unusually torrid contest for the United States Senate, which aparently has Boiled down to a two way race between Willis Smith and Frank P. Graham, is expected to be a magnet in drawing votefs to the polls. In addition, the contest be tween Sheriff Ruel Tyson and S. A. ' Whitehurst, a former sheriff, is also • generating interest in the primary and will help in "getting out the vote.” Sharing the spotlight with the sheriff’s race is the four-way fight for Pitt’s two1 seats' in the'lower house of the General Assembly. Sam 0. Worthington of Greenville and Frank M. Kilpatrick of Ayden are seeking re-election. Their return is being contested by W. Jasper'Smith 1 of Bethel, who ran for the office two years ago and fell short of- success by 39 votes, and Frank M. Wooten, Jr., of Greenville. Each voter is al lowed to name his choice of two of these four. Dr. Paul E. Jones of Farmville, who served as the senator from Pitt county in the 1949 General Assembly is unopposed. Hard-fought races are being waged in several districts for the privilege ‘ of serving on the Board of Commis sioners. F. F. Hendrix and J. Vance reruns, own oi u-reenvuie, are nam ing it out in the first district. In the second district, J. T. Brown has no opposition but in the remaining three districts it is a different story. Clyde C. Harris of Ballards, a Farmville warehouse operator, is seeking the seat on the executive board now oc cupied by G. H. Pittman of Falkland. The fourth district has three candi dates: Marvin W. Smith, the incum bent, R. L. Worthington and J. Elbert Mills. In the fifth district, a siz zling fight has developed between M. Brown Hodges, a member of the present board, and R. Guy Jackson. M. F. Clark apd Otis Haddock as pire to the position of coroner, but not without opposition from the in cumbent, G. H. Rouse, who likes the job and wants to keep it. Several county officials will go back into office without opposition. These include: Dink James, judge of the county court; D. 'T. House, Jr., clerk of superior court; Charles H.
