Served as Register of Deed* One Term and Is Well Liked Over County The Lincoln county Republican executive committee met Saturday afternoon and named W. A.

Rhodes, Democratic nominee appoint ed by the executive committee a week ego. The naming of candidates for the office was made necessary by the death of J. L. Hunter, who was elect ed. to the office in 1934. The place is being temporarily filled by Jas. A. Abernethy, Jr., who received his commission from Judge Wilson War lick.

Kerr Scott, of Alamance county a most interesting angle has been brought out by W. T. Bost, Greensboro Daily News Correspond ent at Raleigh. Writing in Saturday’s News Mr. Bost has this to say about this race. “Twenty-eight years ago in the Charlotte convention which nominat ed William W. Kitchen as Democratic candidate for Governor, Major Wil liam A. Graham defeated R. W. Scott, of Alamance county, for com missioner of agriculture and in the June primary of 1936, W. Kerr Scott is going to try to oust William A. Graham, incumbent commissioner and son of the winner of 1908. The governorship race of that year obscured the lesser contests as the gubernatorial fight of 1936 is overshadowing the smaller conflicts. Put the family war will hold the public’s interest in the Scott- Graham contest to the end. Two years ago when Harold D. Cooley, son of “Rap” Cooley who had tried to beat Edward W. Pou for the fourth district seat in Congress, contested with George Ross Pou, son of the elder Cooley’s successful rival, there was national interests in this local campaign.
