Footlog Makes Politics
Boil In Mountains
The Footlog: It Crosses A Creek And Splits
Democrats and Republicans
Pd, Poi, Adv.
"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

And while the national de- I
bates may range from Matsu II

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.

in the Legislature, and as

publican Senator to 49 Democrats; five Republican House members to 115
