A letter from Warrenton citizens praises John H. Kerr for judge, detailing his long service as Solicitor, character, and readiness to serve. The text accompanies notices on primary voting, railroad strike talk, and local endorsements amid September 9th polling.
The article notes President Wilson's crisis handling as railroad workers refuse arbitration, risking a nationwide strike set to begin September 4. It argues the brotherhoods seek a decisive clash over demands, risking catastrophic disruption to millions and challenging the administration to balance interests of workers and the broader public.
The August outlook compares business to a river with a new tributary after a cataclysm, forecasting a July lull followed by a strong return as seasonal demand resumes. Notes high farm prices, busy labor market, rail congestion, and realty activity in Greensboro, with election timing and party stances shaping sentiment.
The newspaper endorses John H. Kerr of Warrenton for Judge of the Third Judicial District, praising his decade as solicitor across Bertie Northampton Halifax Warren and Vance counties. It notes Kerr’s wide district support, contrasts with Governor Craig’s appointment, and urges primary support on Saturday September 9 to elevate a competent, honest jurist. An unrelated tax collector note from W P Vaucian ends the item.
