"Reprint Frotft The Charlotte News, October 25, I960." ANDREWS - .Way up In th? far reaches of NorthCarolina mountain* in wea tern -moat Cherokee County the rep resentative's race may be de cided en the stats'* most un usual Issue ? a footlog. This particular footlog re ceived more publicity during the last session of the Legis lature than any other creek crossing in the history of die state. Mother of Ate footlog debate Is Cherokee Comity's lady representative totheGeneral Assembly, Mrs. Ltllle Mae Cover. Mrs. Cover's name became familiar to newspaper readers during the laat aeaslon due to several unique Mils she con c e I v e d. Capitol reporters dubbed her "the lady from Cherokee." She first came to the pub lic'* attend** when ahe spon sored?sad got pasaed--a Mil ?o provide traveling fund* for representative* who were hard pre***d to ke*p their hank b*l*nc*s In the Mack and MIU make the long tripe to tnd from home to Raleigh, especially when the law makers lived as . far away as she did. Later In the session she re turned to the front pages when she sponsored an Innocent little Item with the forthright title, the gerrymandering bUl. She was stiU batting a thou sand when she pushed this one through to rearrange a few precincts in her county to the advantage of the Demo crats and to the grief of the Republicans. When she addressed the house In behalf of her bill to provide funds to build a foot log across a creek In her hometown -of Andrews, "so little school children won't have to wade through that cold rreek In the winter to get to school." sh? stirred up as much Interest as was shown for any major bill that came before the House. The story travelled the gamut from the front pages to ' the editorial pages In news papers. Editorial writers over the atate split on die issue. To ?ome the realization that a foodog could nil be so Im portant lit a section of our ?tata as to warrant ? kill for Its conatrucdon brought en a pleasant waalgia. To others It leemed that I the Inherent self-reliance of I mountaineers had fallen to an I all time low If they had n I send to Raleigh to get a foot- I log instead of simply chopping I down a tree across the creak I In the time honored tradition. I But once again, Mrs. Cover I had her way and the House I passed a Mil to provide )1,000 I for the footlog. To conservative mountain I Republican this was the last H straw. Mrs. Cover had dis- H honored the name ?f the moun- II tains. Democrats, of course, II wer* with Mrs, Cover. So, the footlog was built. I and a mighty fancy one It Is H too. Republicans contend that M with a thousand dollars they H could have built a bridge wide enough for cars. There the Issue stands, crossing the creek with frills I seldom before seen on a moun tain footlog. Republicans ire determined to unseat Mrs. Coverandhave come out with a atroag candi- I date, Construction man I Herman (Bull Of the Woods) West. And while the national de- I bates may range from Matsu II ? food prices, Cherokee 11 County folks will tdck to the II faW* of DM footlog tad stay ? an opposite side* s< the creek. ^ ...

Klsselburg The Cherokee County ASC Committee met with the Cherokee County Development Groip la the ASC Office it 1:30 pjn.. Tuesday, November 1, la ?elect the ACP Practices that the groi^i believes K> be the moat practical to offer to Cherokee County farmers In 1961. The Cherokee County De velopment group is composed of the Cherokee County ASC Committee, Claude Peterson. A. J. Barton and T. L. Mar tin. John Smith. The county's SCS Technician and governing body, Charlie McDonald, Don Taylor and Bill Ruasell. Bunch A. Nugent, the U.S. Govern ment Forester, Harold Hatch - ett. County Forest Ranger, Hugh Abies, Assistant County Agent, R. D. Bruce, FHA Stftervlsor. These men are farmers and employees of the USDA. It is the policy of the USDA to have this meeting each year and have the group review each pracnce that the Government offers and select the practices and make recommendations to the state development group in Raleigh for their approval or disapproval. I believe that we will have a program to offer the farmers about the same as the one we had for 1960. Conservation is a job we must do every year.

WE ARE IN THE BEST POSITION to know the qualification* of the local candidates, nominated by the Democratic Party to serve as our representatives in the coming sessions. These candidates are well known and respected for their sincerity, their loyalty and devotion to this area. They are can didates with experience in law and the legislative processes of our state and nation. FOR CONGRESS ROY A. TAYLOR Congressman Roy A. Taylor is ? native citizen of Western North Carolina; he has served in the Legislature, and as County Attorney for Buncombe County. He it a navy veteran and is a man of sincere pre dictable action. FOR N. C. SENATE W. FRANK FORSYTH Senator Forsyth served In the 1959 Legislature and was Vice Chairman of the power ful committee on Conservat ion and Development. Other Committees he served on were: Appropriations, Bank ing, Construction, Higher Education, Insurance, Mental Institutions, Propositions and Grievances, and Public Uti lities. FOR N. C. HOUSE MRS. G. W. COVER Mrs. Cover represented the county in the 1943, 1945, and I9S9 sessions of the House o( Representatives. In the 1924StateConvention, Mrs. Cover was elected a delegate to the first Nation al Convention In which women were allowed to participate. Mrs. Cover's outstanding work during all the sessions has beta la education. Every Indication is that the Congress of the United States will have a Dem ocratic majority. Only by re-electing Roy Taylor could our Representative be given important committee assignments and chairmanships! In the last session of the North Carolina Legislature there was only one Re publican Senator to 49 Democrats; five Republican House members to 115 Democrats. 1 ?NLV ?^^T?maricTtvt
