The Democratic primary was
held in Richmond county last
Saturday for the nomination of
officers for the November , 5th
' election.' The Republicans- did
not hold a primary inasmuch as
there were no contests.. " 5
Never has a quieter primary
been held in the county. The
vote was light, about two-thirds
of the vote of two years ago be-
ing cast About 35 votes were
sent in by absentee voters.
The highest vote cast was for
Sheriff, the total vote being 1445,
1420 was cast for Clerk, 1419 for
House, 1415 for Judge. ; '
J. A. McAulay was nominated

of 272 over T. L. Covington and

for Register of Deeds by a major
ity of 526 over Joseph Gibson and

Sheriff. Fdur Candidates in the
f race, with J. R. Bennett, of Eller-
be, leading with 443 votes, with
R. L. McDonald, of Rockingham,
a close second with 437 just six
votes behind. Carl C. Shores
was third with 399, and W. F.
Long fourth with 166. A second
primary is therefore necessary to
decide between Bennett and Mc
Donald, this primary to be " held
June. 29thni$h. ; : :-' ;
ins nght lor county commiss

Reynolds, the retiring Register of

dates with 1257 votes. The next
highest was H. D. Hatch, of Ham
let, with 823 votes; the third was
John A. McNeill, of Roberdel,
with 737. votes. These three hav
ing a majority of the votes cast,
are nominated. Woneottne re
maining 11 candidates had a ma
jority and so were not nominat

(June 29th) is necessary among
the next four highest to decide
which two shall receive the nom
