|Settle Politics For
Next Two Years
???.
Casting a much larger vote than
was predicted by many, Martin
County voters settled their politics
for another two years and immed
iately turned their attention back to
war, business?and the weather.
The figures stand for themselves
with Clarence Griffin winning over
W Iverson Skinner for representa
tive by a vote of 2.000 to 1,112; J.
Calvin Smith over S. Harcom Grimes
for emmty judge by a- vote of 1,739
to 1.278; Bonner over Blount and
Edwards for member of congress,
and Fountain over Bailey for the U.
S. Senate by a vote of 1,803 to 1,041.
Hie congressional district vote in
this county was in line with that
cast in the other thirteen counties,
but the Senate vote in this county
stood almost alone in the State Only
three other counties joined Martin
in supporting Fountain or opposing
Bailey, according to incomplete re
turns. Approximately 1,700 of the
1,919 precincts in the State gave
Bailey 192,577, and Fountain 90,
031. Bailey has expressed his appre
ciation^ Fountain, commenting on the
returns, say they apeak for them
selves, that it ia apparent that the
common workers were away from
home and that farmers did not go
to the polls. The vote itself, observ
ers say, is a large one for the opposi
tion.

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Biding its time patiently for
almost five months, death struck
on the highways of this county
for the first time this year at
an unusually late hour and in a
slightly out-of-the-way place
last Sunday. John Henry Teel,
colored man. lost his life in a
freak auto accident A second
person was hurt but not ser
iously a short time before to
weaken the belief that tire and
gas rationing are lowering the
accident figures in this county^
With the exception of a life and j
a mere few hundred dollars, the
accident record last year is not j
much worse than the one that is
being builded from week to
week. .

fer a comparison of the accident

weeks in this year and last and
