State Election Upholds ( < 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.
