Judge Sides With States Right Group Raleigh ? A court fight over legal recognition of the States' ? Rights Democrat party will be taken to the State Supreme Court, Chairman Hubert E. Olive of the State Board of Elections said last week. Olive said that he had asked Attorney General Harry McMul lan to appeal to the high court an order issued last week by Superior Court Judge W. C. Harris directing the elections board to place candidates of the States' Rights Democratic party on the general election ballot.

The appeal is necessary, Olive added, because, "an unappealed ruling of a Superior court judge would not be a percedcnt for the board to follow in the futile." ' Judge Harris in Wake Super ior court yesterday ruled the States' Righters are entitled to get their candidates' names on the ballot. He signed an order directing the elections board to let the party enter its candidates ? Gov J. Storm Thurmond of South Carliona Jot President and Gov. Fielding L. Wright of MississipDi for Vice President. He held "unreasonable" a rule of the elections board under which petitions of the States' Righters for legal recognition was denied Aug. 3. Popular Presidential Voted Is Wanted Washington ? Southern Demo cratic support appeared today for a move by Senator Lodge (R-Mass.) to put Presidential elections on a popular vote basis. Senators Sparkman (D-Ala.) and Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C) told a reporter in separate inter views they will back in the next session of Congress a proposal to change the present system by which a state's entire electoral college vote is cast for the candi date who tops the popular ballot test. Lodge offered in the last ses sion and intends to revive a pro posed constitutional amendment under which each candidate would share in the electoral vote on the percentage of his election day total. Thus an aspirant who lost out by only a few popular votes to his Presidential opponent would get nearly half of the state's support in the electoral college, SIM DeLAPP Republican State Chairman Lexington, N. C. J. E. BROYHILL Republican National Committeeman Lenoir. N. C. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Called for Watauga County, to be held in Boone, at the Courthouse on September 4, 1948, at 1:30 P. M.

B. WILSON, Chairman Republican Ex. Committee E. D. COOK, Secretary and Treasurer instead of none at all. Sparkman said he thinks Southern Democrats generally will support the proposal be cause it would "go e long way toward doing away with minority ru? in this Auntry." "There are so/ne minorities in) Northern states who get just about anything they want out of the political parties because the parties fear they may have the balance of power in a state with a lot of electoral votes," the Ala bama senator said. He added that he believed a change such as suggested by Lodge "would have a good effect in the South." Electric Fences Can Be Dangerou&j Warning that even a very small electric shock can be fatal. L. E. Tuckwiller, county agent for the State College ex tension service, today urged farmers to exercise extreme care in the selection and use of elec tric fenses. According to the National Safety Council, the ordinary 110 volt lghting circuit can be as deadly as 40,000 volts, and even the amount of current used by a 7-watt fculb is more than neces sary for electrocution, the county agent said. ? The Safety Council, Mr. Tuck-) iwiller continued, caution^ farm ers never to gamble with a home-made electric fence con troller. Precision equipment is required to regulate electric current within safe limits. The [ordinary lighting current must be reduced to a small fraction of an ampere and interrupted at short intervals. No fence should be energized from any electric source except through a control ler approved by a recognized testing agency. In addition to the use of an approved controller, the exten sion agent said, the following precautions should be observed: ) See that the equipment is installed correctly with good ground and lightning protection. 2. Instruct everyone around the farm how to disconnect the controller in case of emergency. 3. Do not depend upon an electric fence to restrain bulls, boars, or other vicious animals. 4. Teach children not to tamp er or play with an electric fence. 5. Provide insulated gate grips for opening and closing gates. 6. If anyone in the community is using an improvised or un safe electric fence installation, try to have it removed and warn others of the danger.
