Political Interest Grows With 10 Names Assured for Jones County’s 1958 Ballot With filing (time still a long month away on April 19th 10 names are already assured for the bal lots that will be handed to Jones County voters in the May 31st Primary. Four of the five incumbent mem bers of the county (board of educa tion have paid their filing fee to Election Board Chairman W. F. Hill, one newcomer has filed for the county board of commission ers, Incumbent Sheriff : Brown Yates, Incumbent Court Cierk Murray Whitaker, Incumbent Re presentative John M. Hargett, In cumbent Robert Rouse and Incum bent United States Representative Graham Barden are now officially in the race. This does not reveal any contests, however. David “Tinker” civils of the Pine Street section of western Jones County has paid his filing fee for the county board of commission ers, which means there will be a race if all of the present board try to get another two-year grip on that job. So far none of the present board has filed, but the feeling is pretty general around the county that all of them will be in Hie race. The four board of education members seeking reelection are W. I E. “Mike” Phillips, J. Council Wooten, J. C. West Jr., and J. J. Conway. No opposition is rumored for Representative Hargett who is seeking his fourth consecutive term in the General Assembly. None has been loudly proclaimed for Sheriff Yates or Clerk Whitaker but under North Carolina law any qualified voter in the county who can muster the filing fee can run for any office open; so it is more than likely that somebody will be contesting all of these incumbents by the time the filing deadline rolls around April 19th.
