. pyramid as large IS this Courthouse
. there was not an election held without
some four or five persons being killed.
In plain and positive contradiction Of
o. this assertion, the Weldon Neocs says that
e there has been but one man killed at ar
Il election in that county since the year 10OC
q "a man named Turner was killed at az
!. election in Halifax in 1926, by a mar
d named Potter, and with this one excep-
8 ton, there has been no man murdered al
an election in Halifax county in seventy
n two years. The Neacs calls upon judge
n Clark to retract or explain.
