Nominee 355 Majority Unofficial tabulation of more than 95.001 1 votes assured George M. Pritchard, Republican, of election as congressman from the tenth .North Carolina district. He ile*? a.ed Representative Zebu Ion Weaver, Democrat, who has served in the lower house for 12 years. Mr. Pritchard's majority will range between 50 Oand 600.

EDITOR SCOUT TAKES FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE Smooth Riding In The Air , With Beautiful Scenery Below The Editor of the Seoul get his first airplane ride Fridav afternoon, and in addition was the first per son to ride in the planes of the Cody Flving Circus, now at the Noland Wells airport about two miles east of town. This was also the first plane, within our knowledge, to ever land at Murphy. To say that we were not nervous when Mr. Burns stated hp was going to send us up in the air, would be an exaggeration, but this soon wore off when we got up in the air. When we left the ground we soon found that there were no rough humps or sharp curves to worry about. The sailing was so smooth and easy, we have come to the conclusion that after riding in the air: that it is the easiest riding in the world. We circled Murphy, how high up we don't know, but we could not dis tinguish anyone on the streets. The scenery of Murphy and surrounding country from the air is beautiful, we ! believe the most beautiful sight we have ever seen. Our pilot's name was Jimmy Jimmy Krouskop, flying a Waco plane, \. C. 7102. It was a real thrill, and was not only enpoyed by us. but by the throng of people who stood on the ground. Olir first trip was great. How was yours?
