SECOND PRIMARY
TO BE RUN OFF ON
JULY STH-UNLESS
NEITHER HALL NOR HI ATT
WILLING TO WITHDRAW
FROM O. O. P. RACE
TALK POLITICS
Roth Parties Lining Up Timber
For Riwe For County
Offlres
Unless either Rev. Joe Hall, of
Westfield or Attorney David L.
Hiatt of Mt. Airy withdraw
within the next few days, a see
on or "runoff" primary will be
necessary in Surry and Stokes
county to determine who shall
be the Republican candidate for
joint senator.
Mr. liiatt led in the three
cornered fight for the joint sen
atorshlp nomination hut did not
receive a majority in the pri
mary a few weks ago and hence
another primary must be called
to determine the winner unless
some way or other is found to
pick the candidate. To dat, nei
ther Mr. Hall nor Mr. Hiatt has
seen fit to step down from the
race. Unless something developes
within the next few days, the
election officials will call the
second primary for Saturday
July 5 when the Republican Vot
ers of both Surry and Stokes will
go to the polls to vote for either
Hall or Hiatt.
The Republicans of Surry are
planning an active campaign for
this fall, at a meeting of the
county executive committee re
cently, Edward M. Linvllle of
Mt. Airy, was named as assist
ant to Attorney W. M. Tackson
as county chairman.
It appears likely that Sheriff
A. M. Sn\jth will be renominated
by tiJ®*Surry Republicans with
out opposition and the same in
titue of T. M. Marsh register of
deeds. 8. O. Magulre of this city
Is slated to be nominated for
clerk of the court without oppo
sition altqhugh there is some
talk that R. L. Lovelace, also of
this city would toss his hat in
the ring to opopge Mr. Maguire.l
Chairman Lindsay of the board
of county commissioners, says
he will not be a candidate to
suceed himself although he may
be drafted and It is almost a
certainty that Commisioner J.
of Pilot Mountain will again be
candidates. County Chairman,
A. Somerß of Elkln and Joe Pell,
W. M. Jackson may be nomln
lated for the House.
On the Democratic side, much
Interest is attached to the sher
iffs race with the chief Interest
•focused on former Sheriff C. M.
Haynes but his pro-Simmons ac
tivities has alienated him from
a group of -strong Bailey sup
porters. Gray Folger of Dobßon,
has already announced himseff
as a candidate for sheriff* J. N.
Freeman of Dobson, has already
announced himself as a candi
date for the Democratic House
nomination while friends of
John Folgej- are out to fret the
nomination for the Mt. Airy at
torney. Raymond §mith and
Archie Carter are both being
mentioned for the joint senator
ship nomination. ,
Worth Gray of Elkin. already
announced as a candidate for
Reg4ster of Deeds will- probably
be opposed by W F. Lawrence.
Frank lewfellyn it seems, will be
renominated without opposition
for clerk of the court while the
lineup for commissioners seems
to be W. J. Byerly of Mt. AJry,
Alex Chatham of Elkin and Oli
ver Hauser of Pilot Mountain.

ART EXHIBIT TO
BE A FEATURE OF
PICNIC JULY 4TH
Some wise-cracker has said
that the inalienable rights of
every American cftlzen are: 'Life
liberty'and pursuit of Happiness"
European highbrows, and some
of our own too, are continuallyj
reminding us that we are a
bunch of money mad yokels to
tally devoid of any appreciation
of the finer'things- of life. The
South, especially has come in
lias laways been considered a car
for its full share of criticism. It
ren soil for the production of
art.
But those wh othink there is
not art in the South have not;
searched very thoroughly. To an 1
observant mind there is every-i
where noticiable a rapidly devel
oping interest in.things aesthetic
It is most noticeable in the more
artistic types of houses that are
being built and in the Interest
people generally are taking in
landscaping their ground*. Not
so noticeable, but still to be
found here and there are quite
a number of amateur artists
who are producing work of more
or less merit. These amateurs
don't work for money—though
God knows most of them need It
—ncjt as a rule do they care for
notority. Hut tlioy are not «o
eccentric that they don't like a
little appreciation once in a
while. And I believe the people
In our small towns are more in
terested in art than is generally
admitted.
Anyhow, the artists and near
artists of EHin and the sur
rounding neighborhood are go
ing to put on an art exhibit. And
It is too bad Mr. Sinclair Lewis
can't be to see, for it Is go
ing to be held right on Main
Street! We can't lippe for It to
come up to the Metropolitan
Museum nor the Louvre, but T
am sure there will be a showing
of a wide range of subjects,
something that should interest
everyone.
The time is the week of the
4th of July and the place is the
building formerly occupied by
the Carolina Stores, kindly loan
ed by Mr. Jim Greenwood, up
till now, Elkin's only active pat
ron of Art. And the price of ad
mission will be nothing, Howe
ver as is customery, there will be
on sale catalogues listing the
names of the pictures and the
artists ,and other valuable in
formation. The returns from the
sale of th«Be catalogues will all
go to the orphans . 'Nuff sahi.
Anybody with a heart will buy
one. Bjit. if you don't have a
heart nor a dime come anyway
and show the world that Elkin
is a center of "Art as well as in
dustry.
