IMPORTANT ELECTION LAWS Considerable interest is being shown in the second Democratic pri mary to be held next Saturday, July 3rd, in which the voters will be called upon to express their choice for nominees for three County Com missioners. Recorder and Register of Deeds. The ticket to be voted will be as follows: "Register of Deeds —M. T. Wilkie, W. Oscar Geer. Vote for one. Recorder—O C. Erwin, John P. Bean. Vote for one. County Commissioners —W. G. Harris, G. E. Morgan, G. W. Rol lins, A. B. Price, J. Ed. Grose, A. W. Deck. Vote for three. Mr. J. R. Anderson, chairman of the County Board of Elections, has given out the following informa tion which should prove of interest to every voter: There has been some discussion as to who is eligible to vote in a pri mary election. Therefore, we submit the follow ing facts based on Sec. 114 of the election law as amended 1919. One of the requirements in the registration of an elector is what political party do you affiliate with? When this question is answered and marked in the proper column of the registration book, the registrar of each precinct can check those registered and know what political party each elector on his registration book affiliates with. When the registrar or .judges do not know which party the elector votes with, then it is/the duty of the elector to tell what party he affiliates. If the elector does not volunteer to tell the judges and re gistrars which political party he votes with; then it is the duty of the judges and registrars to ask him, with which party do you affili ate. And if the elector affiliates with that party which the said primary is being held, then he is entitled to vote in that primary. If only one primary is being held and the elector does not affiliate with that party he is not eligible to vote. In other words, Democrats vote in a Democratic primary and Republi cans in a Republican primary. When an elector presents himself or herself to vote and* is not will ing to have his or her name marked in the poll book as a member of the political party in whose primary he elects to vote; He or she is not a member of such political party and should not be allowed to vote in said primary. There is only one registration and one poll book used in a primary election for recording those who vote; But when there is a Demo cratic and a Republican primary be ing held in the same county, each party votes then as in the general election, but vote for nominees of their respective parties and not for the nominees in the opposing parties. The elector in marking his ticket in a primary election, must make an "X" in the square to the left of the candidate's name for each office so indicated on the ballot, which he or she elects to vote for, and not mark out any name at the right. If the elector marks out a candidate's name and does not mark an "X" in the square of either candidate's name, then the ballot is not count ed. (See Sec. 117 of Election Laws.) The officers who hold elections have taken an oath to carry out the election law, and to hold election according to law, and to apply same fair and impartially, regardless of party affiliation.

PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FOREST CITY AND RUTHERFORD COUNTY FOREST CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1926 r MR. HERBSMAN BRINGS GREETINGS FROM LAKE LURE Makes Splendid Address Be fore Kiwanis Club Mon day Evening. Mr. J. C. Herbsman, lecturer and booster—the "Billy Bryan" of Lake Lure—was the speaker at the Ki wanis Club Monday evening and held the crowd spellbound with his matchless oratory. Hi-- coming has created an awakened interest in and a fuller conception of the mammoth development at Lake Lure. In his opening remarks, Mr. Herbsman let it be known that he was present to bring greet ings to Forest City from Lake Lure and to promote a closer re lationship between our little city and the development enterprise in our own county. He is a rapid-fire speak er with a magnetic personality and soon had his audience enthralled. His reference to the connection of Chimney Rock Mountains of Messrs. Doggett, Long, Elmore, Thomas, Tan ner and others, was evidence of the earnestness with which our own peo ple entered into the building of the greatest mountain and lake resort in the south. He extolled the mar velous climate and wonderful scen ery of this section and made a plea for the co-operation of all our citi zens in Rutherford county's greatest undertaking. Mr. Herbsman has had a wonder ful experience, having watched the development in the west, and has now become convinced that the tide of migration is now southward bound. In his tribute to the south he de clared that 75 per cent of the lead ers in the United States were from the south, which has never lacked intelligence, virtue and morality. The south has only lacked capital, but this handicap is now removed with the coming of millions from every section to develop the wonderful re sources of the new south. After hearing the speaker, the audience could more fully appreci ate the great accomplishment of the building of Lake Lure, the greatest development enterprise of the south. * * * NOTES OF MEETING Mr. G. C. Rollins had charge of the program, which was a good one. Mr. J. W. Dalton "walked away" with the attendance prize with his inimitable impersonation of Paderewski, the famous pianist.

' 16 PAGES 96 COLUMNS $1.50 Per Year In Advance A TOURIST'S IMPRESSION OF LAKE LORE __ After Having Seen Other Places, Writer is Startled by Magnificence of Western North Carolina. I Chimney Rock, June 28.—1 have ' spent the past week amid the stir | ring scenes and bustling activities of j Lake Lure. I have visited all the ! great mountain ranges of America. I j have gazed in rapture at the verdant j Adiron9acks, with their rippling ! streams and placid lakes. I have i stood breathless with wonder at the J Grand Canyon. I have plowed through the mighty and majestic Rockies— and up to Mt. Lowe where I could look out on the great Pacific ,into endless space and I felt that surely nothing could be so beautiful as these. i j North Carolina has been so modest i about her mountains that I had ! heard practically nothing of them, and when I got off the train at Ashe ville and started to Lake Lure, I was totally unprepared for the ! glories that greeted me on every I side. As I draw on and on—moun tain after mountain with new beau , ties unfolding at every turn I was speechless with awe, and I wonder |ed "why has North Carolina kept | these marvelous mountains so close ly guarded? Why has she not told all America of her glorious posses sions? Why has she not unselfishly j shared them with those of us who { hunger and yearn for the recreation I and inspiration of the mountains?" ! But when I reached Lake Lure and was taken all over the Lake Lure ' section and was ushered in to the ; most complete building program I ! have ever seen—l was thrilled to I know that North Carolina was go ing to share her marvels with the rest of us "less fortunates." I have found that she had not meant i to be selfish at all. She is just awak ing to the fact that she possesses one of America's choicest treasures in ' Chimney Rock mountain section She ! is like the old man who went all over i the world digging for diamonds, and one dav when he was old and' worn and ready to die hi- was planting a ' rose in his own back yard and his I trowel dug up one of the world s ; choicest diamonds, j North Carolina has found the dia mond in her own back yard, and now i with true southern hospitality, she ' is preparing a play grounds large i enough for all America to come and , forget the cares and worries of the ; business world in God's great out of ! doors with these matchless moun tains, this wonderful water and this | incomparable climate. In behalf of ; the other 47 states in the union, I want to thank you for the endless energies you are expending to make ; for us a resort with the scenery of the Alps and the conveniences of New York. —An Appreciative Traveler.
