Hoey Carries Vance County In Winning Nomination
HEAVY DAMAGE IN
HAIL HERE SUNDAY
Tobacco in Western Part of
County Especially Hit
During Storm

Extensive damage was done to
crops, especially tobacco, in the Dab
new and Hicksboro sections, and some
to the northwest of the city, on Sun
day afternoon by a hail storm that
passed over those sections of the
county. The hail fell for a time in
the city, but not in proportions of
sufficient consequence to do serious
damage.
Samples of tobacco stalks broken
down by the pelting stones, said to
be almost the size of small hen eggs
were brought to town by farmers
there both Sunday afternoon and to-
day. The damage exhibited by these
stalks was extensive The lower
leaves were stripped off and the
Others were punctured by the hail
stones.
1t was said that crops in the inn
mediate path of the hail were very
seriously damaged.
Some growers had insurance and
will be able to salvage their loss in
the proportion in which they are
covered.
hard rain accompanied the hail
here and in the rural sections. The
storm was not felt in all parts of the
county, and the hail damage was re-
stricted to comparatively small areas
but these suffered very greatly.

Paschall Wins Coroner
Post Over Switzerland
County on Winning Side 70 Governor First Time in 20
Years; County Also Votes for Horton, Winning as
Lieutenant Governor; Goes for Wade Loser

Vance county gave its vote to Clyde
r. Hoey for governor over DR.. Ralph
W. Mcdonald by a majority of S5 in
last Saturdays run-off primary in
North Carolina and thus for the first
time since the late Thomas w. Beckett
ran for governor in 1916, twenty years
ago, was on the winning side in a
gubcrnatorial primary contest.
In the only county contest. that for
coroner, Asa p. Paschall, high man in
the June primary election, continued
to lead and won the nomination over
T.-R. Switzerland, runner-up on June
6, the vote being 1882 for Paschall
and 1886 for Switzerland
The vote for Hoey was 1885 and for
Mcdonald 1850 for governor.
!. The county guessed wrong, however,
on the other two Statewide contests,
when it gave Paul d. Grady 1,71S
votes to 1895 for W. p. Horton for
lieutenant governor, and went for
Stacey w. Wade for secretary of state
whose vote was 1928, over Thad Eure,
whose vote was 1852 in this county
Horton and Eure were winners in the
State at large, and were nominated.
In both these latter races the run
ney-up nosed out the high man in the
State to win the nomination.
In the June 6 election, Mcdonald
had plurality in Vance county, poll
ing 2,11 votes, while A. II. Graham
was second man here, with 1,727, and
Hoey got 1139 1t would appear that
mo- of the Graham vote went TO
Hocy in the run-off
In the county contest, Paschall had
a majority over Switzerland in every
one OF the 13 precincts.
Hocy won over Mcdonald in every
rural precinct in the county. but car
ricd only two city precincts-North
Henderson and West Henderson. Nc
Donald had comfortable majorities in
East Henderson and both the South
Henderson precincts.
For governor the result Saturday
showed a considerable reversal of
sentiment in the county, but his
stronghold, South Henderson, held
firm to the professor in politics and
gave him heavy majorities, as did al
so the East Henderson section.
Horton was "doped' to win the
lieutenant governor nomination, but
Grady carried Vance county, Wade
was scheduled to win the secretary of
state nomination, and Vance lined up
in accordance with the Statewide out
look for that office but the dope
stcrs" in the State guessed wrong on
that, as did Vance. They guessed right
for lieutenant governor and Vance
county guessed wrong there.
Hoey did not appear here at all in

ed gangsterism and crime in general

out challenge to the Christian peo-
pie to assume their duties and per-
form them, to the end that conditions
might be improved
