Deadline for filing is Friday, December 23. Primary elections will be held March 5, 2024. Remember when elections were held in May and June, if 2nd primary was needed.

Lewis D. Smith is one of Bladen’s best providers of historical info … and he shares with BOL from time to time … Latest included the Virginia and Carolina Southern Railroad Company local schedule for Lumberton-Hope Mills run and Elizabethtown-St Pauls schedule … The later schedule included stops in Old Dundee, Tobemorey, Duart, Tar Heel, Dublin and Elizabethtown … plus several more … included time of arrival and departure, location and distance between stops … Lesser known stops included Regan, Perth, Berwick and there were a few more … to pick up and discharge passengers. FYI … When I moved to Elizabethtown in the late 50s-early 60s, the rail track was located between the Peanut Plant and WBLA, along, or near the street nearest to the E-town Armory … Thanks, sir, for sharing…
