Afcockie Mati; Refused
To Ask Foe Run-off In
1936 Campaign
Merrill Evans, of AhoBkie, has an
nounced his candidacy for the office
of State Senator from the First Sen
atorial , District W "the" Democratic'
primary on May 25.
In making his announcement Mr.
Evans said;
"Four years ago, in the Democratic
Primary of 1986, I was-a candidate
for this .office. The Democrats of
the district gava me sufficient votes
to enable me to ask for a run-on m
a second ftrimary. I took the posi
tion then that the Democrats of the
district had expressed their desire
and I was willing to abide by their
y-jdeoision.5 I did not ask for a rumoff
- )vin the Second primary.
V !Tw years ago before the Demo
cratic 7 Primary of 1938, many
of my'friends who believed at least
one of the district's senators should
come from the western counties, in
siBted that I ran. I made it dear
that I "was going to be guided by the
: precedent set by the party many
years ago to the effect that a State
. Senator from, the First Senatorial
District when elected for one term
; should serve the second term. Our
Senators had made commendable re
cords and I believed they deserved
the nomination for the second term
unopposed. I refused to run in the
1938 primary.
i ' 'm 85 yean-old. I have lived"
r ;i in this district all my life. I was
..KSinU III UMJ VAJUllVjr ui vmiimm,
; the most easterly, county of the dis
trict. - For almost ten years I have
lived In the County of Hertford, the
Sj)moBt westerly county of the district.
From. Currituck to Hertford, I have
erossed the district many, many
. - times. I believe I know every county
in th First Senatorial District as
; i well as any person who has run for
the office of State Senator in a
; 'long time.
"I believe in the democratic princi
: '. pie that a-person representing a dis-
'."! trict in a legislative body should vote
v the convictions f his constituents
and not his own personal views.
w,' That is what I shall do if elected to
Jrthe North Carolina SUte Senate. I
- 'expect to-mate my position clear oa
; the Rue coivftthtmxrthMjdi4tric
: the campaign progresses.
,': "t the Democrats of the Kt
Senatorial District give me their
.k nomraatka for SUte Senator, I sol-
. emnly premise to represent Urn dis
:t trict -honestly and to the best of my
s abiitv and to rive to the fnlfiDinff of
' ". the office all the energy and intelli
- gence I possess."
Boy Relates
Experience With
Army Air Corps
Other Plans More Ap
pealing Than Re-enlistment
Duty
Marion Riddick, whose term of en
listment in the United States Army
Air Corps expired on January 11 and
who returned home last week, talks
interestingly of his life during the
past two and a half years. He
wouldn't, he says, take anything for
the experience but that, after all, he
has seen no place he liked as much
as he likes the old home town.
Mr. Riddick, eldest son of Cashier
R. M. Riddick of the Hertford Bank
ing Company, and Mrs. Riddick, had
had three years in college followed
by some business experience when he
decided to enter the Armv Air Corps.
Enlisting in Norfolk, Va., in Au
gust, 1937, the young man went im
just outside the city of Honolula..
Though the work was interesting ,
and Mr. Riddick is enthusiastic about -.
his experiences, he did not care to
re-enlist, having other plans for his
life work.
The return trip from Honolula was
direct to New York, with no stop at
San Francisco. Marion as ha is
known among his friends in Hert
ford, was given a warm welcome
by the home town folks upon his return.
Trueblood Re-elected To
Office In Association
Norman Trueblood, agent of the
Norfolk Southern Railroad at Hert
ford, was re-elected vice president
of the Norfolk Southern Employees
I Relief Association at the annual
I meeting held at the Southland Hotel
in Norfolk, Va., Monday.
I There are approximately 1,200
members of the organization, which
I covers not only employees of the
I Norfolk Southern Railroad, but also
of the Norfolk Southern Bus Com
pany.

Lespedeza, which L. W. Anderson,
County Agent, described as an ex
cellent hay crop, has been for sev
eral years planted by Perquimans
County farmers, though not many of
our farmers,.have grown Lespedeza
in large quantities.
That the growing of Lespedza foi
seed for market is profitable it
pointed out by Mr. Anderson, who
reports that last year A. R. Cook, of
Route 3, Hertford, planted approxi
mately 100 acres of Lespedeza which
produced approximately 30,000
pounds of seed; and that A. L. God
frey, also of Route 3, Hertford,
planted 16 acres, from which he har
vested approximately 8,000 pounds
of seed.
These seed have already been en
per
tne Association due to an assump
tion that it was in conflict with the j gaged at the price of 5,4 cents
bouthern Albemarle Association. It pound.
was cieari y snown mat in is is not
the case, the Association being inter
ested only in the section as a whole,
and that instead of being in conflict
with any group, it is working in con
junction with them.

Farmers would do well, said Mr
Anderson, to grow Lespedeza, both
because the crop is profitable and be
cause it is a soil bidding crop.
