Paid At Murphy, N.C. 117 Hickory St. Exercise Your Right The most dear and Important right of individuals in a free society is drawing close at hand. On Tuesday, November 8. 1960, Americans from every walk of life will file to the polls and cast their ballot for the man and the political . party that will back the United States in domestic and for eign affairs for the next four years. This newspaper has not. nor will, attempt to influence your vote for either of the candidates on the national, state, or local tickets. We do not ask you to vote for Kennedy or Nixon, Gavin or Sanford, Cover or West. We ask you to VOTE. The choice is yours. Weigh the Issues, candidates, and party platforms carefully. You can help to make America great and strong, by VOTING Tuesday for the- man you feel best meets the qualifications of the day and can accomplish the goals of tomorrow. Do Nothing? All's too quiet on the home front. Kennedy and Nixon, Gavin and Sanford, Taylor andRollman have all been in the news constantly during this campaign. The great TV debates, the district wide political rallies have certainly over- shadowed and shoved into the corner the local election in Cherokee County (or a representative to the General Assembly. Both candidates have conducted a quiet, soft-spoken campaign. Neither has been In the news and both seem not to mind the back seat position. Actually, this election is as close to home as an elecdon can be. A do nothing campaigner may turn out to be a do nothing representative. With only a few days left before the election, this news paper would like to see some fire put into the contest for Cherokee County's seat in the General Assembly.

Mrs. Davis, for being so observant and re newing your subscription early. - Editor Dear Mr. Editor: In view of Che deep feeling generated by the I960 pre sidential election ? feeling greatly heightened by the rel igious issue ? I hope Christ ians will restrain angry and bitter thoughts and words dur ing this election season, and show the Christian graces of forbearance and understand ing. Many American Protestants believe that it would be unwise and hazardous to American principles to elect a Roman Catholic as president. Many other American Protestants think we face no such danger by doing so. and that to pre vent a man from being presi dent because he is a Roman Catholic Is to work against the very freedom and con stitutional rights we seek to maintain. Since so many devoted fol lowers of Christ have quite opposite views in this mat ter it certainly behooves each of us to be cautious In hold ing that hit opinion Is surely the right one. Here, as in all other matters, we need to be humble of spirit. Let me propose certain pri nciples to follow in this and every election: (1) To consider the presi dential and other candidates with open mind; and to vote In November only after ser ious forethought and earnest prayer. (2) Not in any circumstance to become alienated from any one because he has a differ ent view to one's own. (3) Whatever the result of the election to abide by the outcome, and support the pre sident and others elected, remembering the words of Paul to the Romans: "he who resists the authorities, rwiata what God haa appoint ed" (R5V). Sincerely yours, Robert A. Potter 100% Impartial The Editor: I ? hope that you *ill find ttie IMC# ?n your "letter eol umilt" ? put*!** IN* letter slM* 1 feel many of your readers may be interested to know how I as one candidate feel in regards to the treat ment given to one candidate by your paper. I admire you for the fair way you have reported all the news concerning my campaign and I feel that no newspaper could have been fairer in re porting news about Congress ional candidates on both tick ets than has been your paper. In your news coverage you have not only been lair, you have also been on* hundred percent impartial and 1 want to go on record to state that 1 admire your paper for this attitude. Kindest regards. Heinz Roilman. Waynesville, N. C. Communism or Democracy The Editor: I feel I must comment on the letter you published in your issue of October 20, 1960, from Mae A, Crisp. She states, "It is everyone'* civic duty to vote. It is one of the reasons this country was founded." Rellgous free dom is another of our found ing principals. In Article II, Section 5 of our Constitution, the qualifications for the of fice of President are found. In order to meet these quali fications a person must be a natural born citizen of the United States, have attained the age of thirty-five years, and have resided fourteen years within theUnitedStates. Nowhere does it state that a person will be excluded from office because he hap pens to be a Catholic, a Bap tist, a Methodist, or a Jew. Both of the candidate* of our major political parties are men who actively pro fess a religious belief. Mr. Nixon is a Quaker, and Mr. Kennedy Is a Catholic. It seems to me that vy Pro testant clergyman, or anyone else for that matter, who either refrains from voting or lets his vote be influenc ed by a candidate's religious affiliation. Is not living up to the teachings of his religion or his responsibility as a citizen. The basic issue before us. after alt, is whether we stand for Communism or Demo cracy, not Catholicism or Protestantism. I hope it will be said in years to come that America stands for Christianity and Freedom. Mary Brumby Forrest Brooklyn 1, New York Obituary JAMES E.

Gavin will receive more votes (or Governor than any other Republican who has ever sought this ottlce. 2. Gavin's total vote on November I will be greater j tian some Democratic can didates for Governor have received during the put eight elections. 3. Only Owight Elsenhower { himself has received more voms for the Presidency In ( North Carolina than Richard M. Nixon will receive Nov ember 8. 4. Richard M. Nixon will receive more votes for Pre sident in North Carolina than Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1932. , ...and that Is as far as we will go at this time with our predictions. More later. Certainty ? Nothing offic ial Is being said about It at this time, but of this you can be pretty sure: If Terry Sanford is elect ed Governor some several days hence, a speclsl ses sion of the Legislature will be called for early-ln-January to give him the proper in auguration. The legislators will be in Raleigh less than ten davs and will reconvene for hard nosed business on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in February, or there abouts, which will bring them back here about February 8. The legislators will be in Raleigh less than ten days-? Until three or four years ago ? when the State Con stitution was changed ? the General Assembly met on the first Wednesday after thefirst Monday in January. This was changed to first Wednesday after the first Monday in Feb ruary by the Legislature and a vote of the people ? when Federal income tax day was moved from March 15 to April 15, with the State following suit. Money, as usual, makes the mare go. Hunting Rabbits? -We note via press and radio that the a State Prison Department Is still having troubles with Inmates trying to burn each other to death, escape, or generally raising a rue us. This reminds us of the fact that William Bailey for mer head of prisons who fin ally got tired of it and re signed to enter private busi ness, can now accept any rab bits you kill without worry. Whlla Bill was heading up the prisons ? several years there, and a wonderful job, too---various friends of his would bring him rabbits they had killed in the fall, above the supply wanted for their freezers. Each year he soon had more than he wanted, so in turn passed them along to friends. He gave away a lot of rabbits year-in-year-out until he ran into this item. "It's no wonder we are having so much trouble with prison breaks, escapees, and what have you," Bill heard, "for all that fellow Bailey does all the fall is go rab bit hunting. Just get to know him well, become his friend, and you will get plenty of rabbits. A man that has that many rabbits to give away is just naturally spending too much time hunting. So immediately Bill stop ped the rabbit business. But now that he is free, bring him all the rabbits you want to ? or he just might join you in a hunt, something he had no time to do while overseeing the prisons. C 4T- Qa1?e In Qonfam Kor of 1959, a total of 9.516 new cars were sold In North Carolina. This September the figure had dwindled to 8,803. Of the major makes of cars, only Cadillac (137 to 114). Dod ge (319 to 203), Imperial (11 to 8), Lincoln (17 to 12), and Rambler (339 to 263). sold more In this State this Sep tember than last September. But this September, Ford outsold Chevrolet in North Carolina 2,172 to l,639---and tl rough September for the year by 21.974 to 16,279. The big automobile news other than decreased size and decreased sales - is that Ame rican compacts are slowing down to a talk virtually all foreign sales except Volks wagen. Sympathy---Having had our troubles in trying to find what children like and do not like to eat, we can sympathize ful ly with Wake Forest College as It wrestles with a threat ened boycott of its cafeteria. The Poll ? TheGreensboro Dally News' political poll of registered voters in Guilford County continues. Total for the entire poll since Its beginning several weeks ago. shows Democrats gaining within the past .few days, but the situation ?Oil looked like this as "of last Sunday, October 23: For President: Nixon 1,646 Kennedy 1,061 - Faubus 1. For Governor: Gavin 1,690 Sanford, 996 - Lake 16. Centers- --It now loqks as If the centers of new Republic can strength In North Car olina will be in Ita two most populous clues: Charlotte and Greensboro. If true, this marks a de finite trend away from a generation ago In Tarheel I a when Republican Strength was almost exclusively rural. Now Ml (hough Mecklenburg and " jultfard at this stage at &? ;ame look Republican on a national point of view, there seema to be littteor as chaste of either county tending Rep ublican* to the Legislature. Two of the moat Influential men In the forthcoming Gen eral Assembly could be Irwin BeU of Charlotte andJoeHunt of Greensboro- -and also, of course. Veteran Jim Vogler of Ch*rlotte---and Spencer Bell, on* of the real scholars of the Stat* Senate. Trend Despite the Greensboro Dally News Poll and all th* Republican talk heard, the definite trend two weeks ago suddenly swung to the Democrats. Don't be sur prised If Terry Sanford takes North Carolina by 200.000 votes, with this State and the Nation for Kennedy overNixon overwhelmingly, when the votes are tabulated on the evening of November 8.
