NORTH CAROLINA’S NEXT GOVERNOR
Recommends Roofs On Jail
And Courthouse Be
, Repaired
mm
R. Gregg Cherry is to be next
Governor of North Carolina, and
Clyde R. Hoey will fill the Sena-
torship now held by Robert R.
Reynolds. In huge majorities Sat
urday, they became the winners of
the Democratic primary, along
with Thad Eure, Secretary of
State, Charles M. Johnson, treas
urer, and G-eo. Ross Pou, State
Auditor. L. Y. Ballentine of Wake
was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor, defeeating W. I. Hal
stead of South Mills.
The outcome of the primary was
no surprise in Dare county, which
has a habit of voting for winners,
and it gave substantial majorities
to all winners, except Mr. Hal
stead. The vote for him was a to
ken vote, for party leaders had be
lieved for some time he could no-t
win against the overwhelming or
ganization of Ballentine, the Wake
countv man with headquarters in
Raleigh.
Gregg Cherry’s campaign was
managed by a committee in Dare
county of vrhich Melvin R. Dan
iels was chairman, and despite
many attempts of the McDonald
forces, thev never gained a strong
foothold, for the vote was 734 to
134. The vote was extremely light,
due to the absence of many people
away in the war, and due to the
absence of anv local contests.
Clyde R. Hoey’s campaign in
Dare was managed by Victor
Meekins, and his opponent was a
man vcho has always carried Dare,
and had many strong friends in
this section. Mr. Hoey’s vote was
715 to 131 for Morrison.
The table of votes in the various
precincts of Dare county is pub
lished elsew^here in this newspa
per. There were five candidates for
for Senator. Mr. Hoey, Mr. Morri
son, Arthur Simmons, Marvin Lee
Rich, and Giles Y. Newton. There
were three candidates for Govern
or, the third being 011a Ray Boyd,
Pinetown hog grower. A third
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
was James T. Lyda of Greensboro.
That Eure was opposed for Sec-
retarj^ of State by W. N. Craw
ford, Geo. Ross Pou was opposed
by Fred Hunter who once taught
school in Manteo. Chas. M. John
son, the Treasurer was opposed by
L. J. Phipps.

The Hyde county grand jury
for the Superior court session
held last week suggested a num
ber of repairs to county buildings
and recommended that toilets be
built for the colored people. It re
ported that all the offices were

ders.
The report read in part:
“We ha\'e examined the countv’
iail and find it clean hut find
that the roof has a bad leak in it.
We recommend tha^ it be repair
ed. We further recommend that
the hole by the corner of the
courthouse be fixed. I
“We also recommend that imme
diate action be taken to repair the
roof of the courthouse and make
the courthouse more safe from the
possibility of being destroyed by,
fire.
“We commend the several of
fices of our countv for the man-'
ner which they discharged their
duty.
“We also recommend that new
nits be dug for outdoor toilets.
We further recommend that the
toilets in the Agriculture building
be repaired and put in working
condition and a toilet be built for
colored people. j
“We recommend that drain pipes
be cleaned so the water will not
stand around the pump back of
the Agricultural building.” I
