Republican Daily Suspends Publication in High Point
The High Point Morning Republican suspended its 36th issue with no official cause from Editor George Holloway. Believed to stem from lack of state Republican support for the south’s only Republican morning daily, the paper originated as the High Point Republican and shifted from weekly to daily under Walter Roval and F.
