Falls Will Not
Request Second
Race For Judge
Shelby Man Gives
Way To War lick
Feels That Second Race Would Not
Help Party. Expresses Thanks
To Friends.
Judge B. T. Falls, veteran
attorney and party leader, will
not ask tor a run-off race with
Attorney Wilson Warfick, of
Newton, for the Democratic
nomination for Superior court
judge in this district. Judge
Falls made this definite In a
statement given to The Star to
day.
It was the privilege of the Shelby,
man to ask for a second race in that
| Warlick did not have a majority,
i Warlick's lead over Falls, his clos
i est competitor, was near 1,900 votes,
with A. L. Quicker of Llncolnton,
third, and M. H. Yount, of Hickory
fourth. However, the Shelby man
felt that a second race might not
help the Democratic party, and he
prefers to let the high man win as
lie would have expected a similar
move had he been in the lead, he
says. In his statement he expresses
his appreciation of his support and
the work of his friends. The state
ment follows:
* ‘‘To the Democratic Voters of
Cleveland County: I am profound
ly grateful for the splendid support
Which you gave my candidacy for
Democratic nomination for Superior
court in the recent primary. While
the final result was not what I
hoped for, nfy vote was indeed a
very flattering one. The result
shows that I stood second high out
of four candidates. This is all the
more complimentary considering the
fact that the other three candidates
are able lawyers and excellent gent
lemen, who stunt high in the legal
profession. There were overwhelm
ing odds against me in the district
due to the fact that Cleveland
county has furnished and is now
furnishing men in public office, all
of which would naturally militate
against my candidacy. Nevertheless,
my candidacy was well received in

Cops, Firemen Wear
White Caps Here
If Shelby citizens 'should see a
white-capped, blue-coated officer
strolling about the streets today, or
a white-capped man riding the fire
truck, don’t mistake him for a vis
iting naval officer. It will be a
Shelby policeman or fireman.
This week the police force and
the city firemen were dolled-up in
new white, summer-weight caps by
the city government (jo that they
might be more comfortable duiing
the hot summer weather. The old
blue cape, the officers say, were al
most as heavy as a policeman’s feet
are supposed to be.

County G. O. P.
Not Interested
In Senate Race
Cleveland county democrats
got pretty well stirred op
over their senatorial race, but
judging by the official rote
the Republicans of Cleveland
county cared very little who
their party nominated aa a
rival for Mr. Bailey. While
county Democrats were throw
Ing 8,831 votes In the ballot
boxes for Bailey. Simmons
and Estep, the Republicans
were casting only 176 votes
for Pritchard, Butler, Tucker
and Dorsett. Pritchard got 95,

Pritchard To
Be Candidate
OfRepablicans
Asheville Man To Be Bailey's Op
ponent This Fall. Late
Figures.
Charlotte, June 11.—Winner over
three other candidates In his party’s
primary, Congressman George M.
Pritchard, of Asheville, will make
the race against Joslah Bailey, the
Democratic senatorial nominee, for
the Republican party of North Car
olina next fall.
Additional returns from Satur
day’s primary removed any doubt
that Pritchard might be forced into
a second primary to gain the nom
ination.
Far Ahead of Butter.
With 1,457 of the state s 1.799 pre
cincts reported, his total vote Hood
at 19,958 with that of George B.
Butler, of Clinton, his nearest rival
at 8,294. The remaining vote Was
divided 4,152 for Irvin Tucker of
White ville, and 1.137 for the Rev.
H. Grady Dorsett, Wake Forest
minister.
The margin by which Senator F.
M. Simmons lost the Democratic
nomination as senator to Bailey
was Indicated as near the 70,OM
mark as additional returns were
received.
Bailey’s vote In 1,702 precincts as
unofficially reported was 197,078 to
128,081 for Simmons. That of
Thomas L. Estep, Alleghany county
man Who ran as a wet, was 1,645.
Senator Simmons To
Support J. W. Bailey
WashingtonJD. C.—In a telegram
to John D. Langston, Goldsboro,
Tuesday night, Senator Fumlfold
M. Simmons said, “I have no furth
er statement to make, for I assume
the people of the state know that
I shall keep the pledge I made
when I entered the primary, and
support Mr. Bailey.” Senator Sim
mons was in his seat in the senate
Tuesday. He entered quietly, and
no one said anything to him about
his disastrous defeat. No one seems
disposed to crow over him.

Bulwinkle-Jones Race Becomes
A Puzzle—Ten Precincts Out
Voters Want To Know If There Will
Be Second Race. Nothing
Said.
Will there be a run-off race be
tween Major A. L. Bui winkle and
Attorney Hamilton C. Jones for the
Democratic congressional nomina
tion in this district?
Why all the silence about the
race, where are the missing pre
cincts, the vote of which could
show the final standing ir> the first
primary, and where—if anywhere—
do we go from here?
Those are the questions being
asked on every hand by local voters
who seem puzzled because nothing
definite can be learned about the
congressional race.
The latest district tabulation gave
Bulwinkle a lead of between eight
and nine hundred votes over Jones
with ten precincts unreported. Will
those ten precincts change the
standing between the two? If so,
which way, and where are they.
With practically every other raoe
fully reported, citizens in thi ssec
tion seem mystified because the fin
al count in the congressional race is
not known four days after the pri
mary, One reason for this interest
on the part of voters is that Dem
ocrats who want to win the district
back again this fall are hoping that
there will be no second race which
would .they say, lessen the chances
of Democratic victory. This view
seems to prevail with a big number
of Democrats, who think there
should be no second race regardless
of which candidate may be ahead
when the final count is in. The ex
pense of a second race is also a fac
tor in this view.

Cleveland Vote Seen
As Endorsing Present
Economical Officials
Solicitor Race
Still Undecided
Gardner Hu Mot Made Up Mind
About Entering Second Pri
Whether there will be a second
primary for the nomination as soli
citor of 'county court is still a ques
tion of controversy.
Attorney t. Clint Newton lacked
only 40 Vote* Of Securing a major
ity in the three-cornered race, but
today Solicitor p, Cleveland Gard
ner had not decided whether, as
second high man, he would file for
a run-off race. The election laws
says that a candidate may file for
a second raoe, when there Is no ma
jority, ta five days after being no
tified by the election board. Mr.
Gardner is considering the matter,
But informed Hie Star at 1 o’clock
this afternoon that he had not
reached a decision as yet.
The vote in the first primary was

Aged Couple Living: Alone Have

Out in the Flint Hill section of
this county is an aged, contented
couple that cannot understand why
people ever need divorce courts, or
are ever troubled with restless feet
that crave to keep moving from
one place to another.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Martin. He Is 83 and she is 80. In
1875 they were married, Just 55
years ago, and since that time
they’ve lived at the same place and
“have gotten along with each other
just as well as married folks could
hope to.” Their eight children are
all married and living to themselves,
but Both Mr. Martin and Mrs. Mar
tin express themselves as "spry
enough, thank you,” and able to
take care of themselves for a good
many years to come.

Governing Body
Is Returned
Tito County Officials Unopposed,
Others Returned By Pri
mary Vote.
People may get heated up
over minor issues in political
campaigns, but the primary out
come in Cleveland codhty was a
pretty good indication that the—
voters of the county believe in
watching the expense accounts,
which, after all, is their pocket
books for they par the bills in
the form of taxes.
For some several years Cleveland
county’s system of government has
received state-wide praise because
of its business-like methods, and
other counties have pattened alter
the local county government seek
ing more economical government.
A year or so ago an official of
the state advisory commission de
clared that this county had the
most up-to-date business methods
in the court house of any county
in the state. A few months later
statistics assembled at the state
university showed that the county
wide tax rate here to be one of the
lowest in the state, and school cost
per pupil among the very lowest.
Had Its Effects.
Those bits of information appar
ently had their effect with the more
than 50 thousand people in the
county who pay, in the form of
taxes, for county government, roads,
schools, etc. This Is evidenced by
the fact that every court house of
ficial in the county was returned to
office last week in the primary.
Two of the county officers—A. F.
Newton, register of deeds, and A.
M. Hamrick, clerk of court—were
unopposed in their own party. The
sheriff and treasurer won their
nominations again as did the en
tire board of county commission
ers and the commissioners of edu
cation.
That, of course, does not neces
sarily mean that other officials
could not operate the county gov
ernment just as economically, but
the voters appeared to believe that

Some Cut Oft
Dr. P. S. Dorton, dty health offi
cer. stated today that the grade of

comps from the following dairy
plants, which have met the sani
tary conditions: Poston dairy, Ry
burn Hamrick dairy, D. O. Me

Smith's dairy. Lester Green, and
the Shelby Milk plant.
In addition to these there are 11
other county dairies which have
passed the A grade requirements
and furnish milk to the She’by
milk plant. Four other dairies,
with A grade endorsement, furnish
milk to the seven central distri
butors.
Some of the sanitation require
ments in the A grade ordinance are:
tuberculin tested cows, barns and
milk rooms with concrete floors j
good drainage and lighting, and
other sanitary needs. It Is also re-,
quired that all utensils be stored In
a sanitary manner and that they be j
regularly sterilized, all endorsed;
dairies being required to have steam -
sterilizers at their milk plants. An
additional requirement Is that
every person handling or coming
in contact with the milk have a
health certificate from physicians
showing they are not diseased in
any way.
