Miss Lutz Will
Enter Race For
Treasurer’s Job
Bonnet Tossed Into
Political Ring
Second Woman To Enter Democra
tic Primary In County Oppose!)
First Woman Office-Holder.
Miss Georgie Lutz, the sec
ond woman ever to seek office
on the Democratic ticket in
Cleveland county, today tossed
her bonnet into the political
arena by announcing that she
would be a candidate In the
June primary for the office of
county treasurer now occupied
by Mrs. Mary E. Yarborough,
Cleveland county’s first femin
ine office-holder.
Contrary to tne opinion about
women held by some men, Miss
Lutz has very little to say in an
nouncing and is of the idea that
“one can talk too much.”
“I haven't much to say,” she stat
ed, "other than that I will be In the
race for treasurer and am seeking
the Democratic nomination in the
June primary.”
Well Known Family.
Miss Lutz is a member of one of
Cleveland'^ best known families,
being a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. John W. Lutz. For some
years she operated a millinery store
in Shelby and Fallston and came
to be well known as a business
woman. Later she moved to the
farm in the Grover section, and
she is now living at Fallston.
“I suppose I have always been a
Democrat,” she said, "In the same
sense that all women view their
party connection. Of course we
have not been voting so long but
most of us even before equal voting
privileges came in classed our poli
tical inclinations with those of our
men folks.”
This is the first announcement
for county treasurer in the June
primary and political events in the
county had been quiet for several
weeks until today’s announcement.

county welfare officer.
Monday Mr. Smith had three
young children—two boys, aged 13
and four years, and a girl of six—I
who need a home. Their father was
gone and their mother unable to
’:eep them up. A notice of the
homeless tots was published in The
Star and by Thursday morning
each of the three had a home with
