Hearing In Raleigh Yesterday
Results In Motion To
Dismiss Appeal For Recount
Made By Republicans
REPUBLICANS MAY
CONTINUE FIGHT
However, There Has Been
No Suggestion As To
What Their Next Move
May Be To Settle
Issue
The State Election Board, in
. session yesterday..in Raleigh, votf
? i
ed unanimously to dismiss the ap
peal for a recount of ballots cast
in the general election on November
3rd.
Brunswick County Republicans
were represented by Alton Lennon
of Wilmington, who charged
that spoiled ballots were handled
improperly due to ignorance of
election officials on correct procedure.
A number of ballots, he
declared, were thrown into the
spoiled ballot box contrary to regulations.
He also said that ballots
were marked openly in the
streets of Southport and not in
elections booths as the law requires.
Ozmcr Henry, of Lumberton
represented the Brunswick Democrats.
Republican party leaders have
intimated that they did not plan
to drop the fight, even in the
face of an adverse ruling from I
the state board with regard to
their appeal. What their next
move will be, however, has not
been disclosed. Their chief hope
is to be able to unseat John B.
Ward, who held a one-vote majority
over D. R. Johnson, Republican,
for Judge of Recorder's
Court.

Winter Garde:
Conspicut
Inquiry among home owners
in both town and county reveals
that very few are making an
effort towards growing winter
gardens. They just did not feel
the Urge to attempt to grow
foodstuffs, despite the fact that
in this and the rest of the
coastal section winter gardens
may be made to produce abundantly
with much less labor than
is required in the spring.
Always able to buy in previous
winters, people just did
not get around to planting and
attempting to grow something
to eat this time. They are
waiting for another spring.
The chances are that when
that spring comes the labor
shortage will be so strong
that all available efforts will be
directed towards making some
money crop. The all-important
