Bid On Landfill
Clean-Up: $5,250;
Second Bid Asked
In a special meeting Wednes
day night, the town council au
thorized a contract with a heavy
equipment operator, to bury a
large quantity of garbage and
trash that has accumulated at the
town’s landfill disposal area.
The motion approved by the
council specified that the man
ager be authorized to enter into
such a contract, after receiving
at least two bids on the job.
Town Manager F. F. Rainey
had previously told the council
that he recently asked for bids
from four equipment operators m
the,area but that only one, the
Beal company of Sanford, had
been willing to bid. That bid he
reported was $5,250.
The extent of the work to be
done became apparent when
Rainey told the council the con
tractor estimated it would take
an excavation 300 feet long, 60
feet and 15 feet deep to bury the
accumulated waste at the land
fill. , ,
Councilmen agreed at least one
other bid should be obtained be
fore letting a contract, although
all tbT officials are anxious to get
the iv.b done. Smoke and odor
from fires in the accumulated
waste have brought bitter com
plaints previously heard by the
council, from residents of the
Murray Hill Road area, about a
half mile from the landfill.

Western Union
Nearly 13,500 Moore County
residents are eligible to vote on
Tuesday, November 3, when citi
zens will go to 19 precenct polling
places to help choose office-hold
ers on the national, state and
county levels.
Of persons registered, some
thing over 10,250 are on the
books as Democrats and some
thing over 3,750 as Republicans,
said S. C. Riddle of Carthage,
chairman of the county Board of
Elections. Voters, however, are
expected to cross party lines in
large numbers in some of the
races.
Interest in the election is high,
sparked by the emotional Presi

COUNTY CHAIRMEN COMMENT
Close Races Predicted
Chairmen of both political par
ties in Moore County agreed this
week that there will be some
close races in the county’s voting
on Tuesday, November 3—but
they disagreed on the outcorne of
most of them. Each claimed ex
pected victories the other was
unwilling to concede.

Auto Caravan
Set Saturday
By Democrats
A Democratic automobile car
avan will wind through Moore
County Saturday afternoon,
starting at Pinebluff at 2 pm and
ending at Pinehurst at approxi
mately 5:30 pm, to help build en
thusiasm for the Party’s candi
dates in next Tuesday’s election.
Car owners are urged to come
to Pinebluff at 1:30 pm, to meet
with others at the fire station and
decorate their cars in keeping
with the occasion, said J. Elvin
Jackson, chairman of the spon
soring Moore County Democratic
Executive committee.
They will be led by a car with
loudspeaker as they follow the
following itinerary (times given
are tentative):
Leave Pinebluff, 2 pm; Aber
deen, Buster’s Parking lot, 2:10
pm; Southern Pines Municipal
Building, 2:30; Vass, downtown
district, 2:50; Cameron, near the
depot, 3:10; Carthage, court
house, 3:30; Highfalls, 3:55; Rob
bins, depot, 4:15; Eagle Springs,
4:45; Jackson Springs, 5:05; Pine
hurst, 5:30.
Brief stops will be made at
each place and drivers who want
to join may do so anywhere,
staying with the caravan as long
as they can.
J. Elvin Jackson of Carthage,
head of the Democratic party in
Moore, both also predicted ticket
splitting.
While O’Neal foresees many
Democrats crossing party lines to
vote for GOP candidates at all
levels, Jackson confined his pre
diction of ticket splitting large
ly to Republicans who cross over
to vote for Johnson in the Pres
idential contest.
With Republicans as a minority
of the registered voters in Moore
County, GOP candidates will
have to attract a good many Dem
ocratic votes to put them in the
winning column.
O’Neal based his victory predic
tion on the fact that “our party
has had tremendous growth in
Moore in the last two years. We
have more enthusiastic workers
than ever before.”
With a registration of around
3,500 Republicans, it will take
lots of Democratic votes for our
candidates to win but, said
O’Neal, “We are going to have
those. There’s going to be the
biggest wave of ticket splitting
here in history.
“People feel the need for a
'Change on the county level, and
(Continued on Page 8)
Republican bid' in many years,
for state and county offices.
Also to be decided Tuesday
will be whether or not the State
will issue $100 million in school
bonds,—a matter which will be
presented to the voters on a
separate ballot.
The proposed bond issue for
school construction, remodeling
and renovation is explained fully
elsewhere in today’s Pilot. If ap
proved, Moore County would get
$833,602 — of which $613,683
would go to the county school
system; $144,990 to the Southern
Pines district schools; and $74,-
929 to the Pinehurst schools.
Three Other Ballots
Moore County voters will be
handed three ballots, in addition
to the school bond ballot, when
they enter their polling places.
One will be for the Presidential
and 'Vice Presidential choices
only.
Another lists the State Sena
torial, State House and all coun
ty office candidates.
A third leads off with candi
dates for Governor and Lieuten
ant Governor, run through candi
dates for the “Council of State”
posts and Superior Court Judges
and ends, at the bottom, with
the two candidates for Congress
(House of Representatives) from
the 8th Congressional District
which includes Moore County.
Of interest locally is that Judge
John D. McConnell of Southern
Pines, resident judge for the 20th
District, is up for election, unop
posed.
CANDIDATES LISTED
In the following list of candi
dates, the Democrats are named
first, the Republicans second, for
each race, with “None” noted

TRACKLESS TRAIN— Here is the garbage
collection train which was demonstrated last
week. In front is a Jeep and behind three five-
cubic-yard-capacity trailers. Any number of
trailers may be used in the train-mother truck
system. The “train” never leaves its route to
transport its load to the landfill disposal area,
but trailers are emptied into the large mother
truck. (Pilot photo)
WOULD REPLACE TOADPACKERS' IF ADOPTED
New Garbage Collection System Demonstrated Here
Much discussion has taken
place recently over the problem
of garbage disposal at the sani
tary landfill area, and it looks
as though the Town Council is
nearing a solution (see Council
story on this page).
Another problem which has
been on the mind of Town Man
ager F. F. Rainey for many
months is that of the two “load-
packer” trucks which have been
in use here over 10 years for the
collection of residential and
commercial garbage.
“They are worn out and expen
sive to operate,” according to
Rainey, and he is studying the
situation in hopes of arriving at
the most practical solution.

Not only are there organized
Democrats and numbers of “in

After briefly sketching in the

Jonas laid all the well-hashed is
