Correction: Due to a reporter’s error, a story on page A5 in the Jan. 29 print edition of The Herald-Mail and appearing Jan. 28 on www.herald-mail.com contained incorrect information. William “Kirby” Lewis of Inwood is running for magistrate and Melvin D. “Sonny” Spurgeon of Martinsburg is running for county council in the Tuscarora District. The Herald-Mail apologizes for the error. The above story has been edited to reflect that correction.
