Nho Officer* White Pine Camp No. 213 Header TO THE CITIZENS OF TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY When I announced my candidacy t'aii Tre$*urer of Transylvania Coun ty aubje"3p to the action of the Dem ocratic Primary, I was informed that Mr. George M. Justice was phy?-t ically unable to make the race and' was n*t going to ask for re-nomina tion, but I did not wish to put that in my notice, for the reason that I did not wish to in any manner alarm Mr. Justice as to his physical condi tion. ' To ray great regret and sorrow, I was continuously informed that Mr. J ustice was in a critical condition and would bo unable to make the race for Treasurer. However, after Mr. Jus tice announced his candidacy I was prepared to withdraw from the race and had decided so to do, so as to rdieve Mr. Justice from making any tight for the nomination, as far as f was concerned and I had prepared to withdraw from the race on the day prior to the day Mr. Justice died. I recognize the right of 51 r. Justice to have a second term in the office of Treasurer, as that is the Demo cratic custom; and I furthermore knew thai he had fulfilled the duties of his office in a most splendid, satis factory and accurate manner and had handled the moneys of the County honestly and properly, and as stated above. I had decided to withdraw and not in any way interfere with his receiving the nomination. However, on the day before the tinn' for filing expires, a number of irood citizens came to me and asked me to be sure and file, because they had bot?n reliably informed that Mr. Justice could not possibly make the i ace. a* he was critically ill and ex pected t<> pass away, and after be in;;; informed as to Mr. Justises' con dition, I then filed late in the after ni.nn of the last day for filing. i .vould have done nothing and in ter.' e.! to do nothing to hinder or worry Mr. Justice, and even after filing, if Mr. Justice had have sur vived his illness, I would have with drawn and left the field open to him, a* far as I was concerned. I make this statement so that the people of the County can understand my position, for I want it understock that I have been a friend and sup porter of Mr. Justice during his life and would not have interferred in anyway with his nomination as Tt- asurer for my past record of many years, both as a man and as a member of the Democratic Party, ( have been loyal to my friends and to the rules and regulations of the | Democratic Party.

The State Fair will be held this year during the week beginning October 10. the State Board of Agriculture decided at its meeting here las! vreffc. The law ?nacted by the 1931 General As sembly requires that the board either operate or lease the State Fair A proposal to lease was turned down when the Board decided to do its own ?perating, but restrictions on allot ments for expenses will require that the fair be self-supporting, that its "balar.Ve jt.s budget," by npt con 'racting to spend more than it will receive. Belief is that the fair will approach in excellence the standards maintained since it was re-inaufruart ed four years ago on the new site on 'he State Prison Farm.

BRUMMITC Only Those Who Are to Be Abeeni From Coauty, or Those Physically Uaable to Go to Polling Place, Eatifcled to Vote Absentee Ballot ? Mu?fc Sign Aiiidaivii Before Officer Au thorized to Administer Oath, Attorney General Dennis G. Brum raitt has get forth rules governing the absentee voting1 in both primary and general election, showing that it is absolutely essential that the voter who intenps to vote an absentee bal lot must make affidavit before an officer as to his intention. Mr. Brummitt wrote a lengthy opinion to Judge J. Crawford Bigg3, chairman of the state board of elec tions, in which he set out the various requirements in connection with the absentee voting. "There are two classcs of persons entitled to vote by this method,"' said Mr. Brummitt. "(a) Those who are absent from the county on the day of the primary election; or "(b) Those who, on the. day of the primary or election, are physically unable to attend the polling place for tho purpose of voting in person. "With respect to the first class a person must be actually out of the county 011 tjie day of the primary or election in order to avail himself of the privilege thus granted. If he re turns to the county at any time dur ing the voting hours of that day, the absentee ballot which he may have left shouil not be used. "With respect to the second class, there must be actual physical inabili ty to go to the polling place for the purpose ot' voting. This, of course, must be interpreted reasonably, but strictly, so that no elector who is physically able to go to the polls and vote shall be permitted to cast a ballot by the absentee method. "A person who seeks to use the absentee method because of absence from the county must use certificate A. A person who desires to use the absentee method because of physical inability to attend at the polling place must use certificate B. The oath of the person desiring to vote by the absentee method on account of phy sical inability is sufficient for that purpose; or, in lieu thereof, there must be a certificate of a phycician showing the physical inability of such person. A supply of these cer tificates is being furnished and sent out by the state board of elections. "The oath required by these certi ficates must be made before some official authorized to administer oaths. If $ych officer, such as a not ary public or clerk of Superior court, has a seal, it must be attached to the certificate: It is not sufficient that the officer shall sign the certi ficate. The oath, must be actually ad ministered by the officer to the. per son seeking to use the absentee cer tificated. If the oath is not actually administered, the ballots accompany ing the certificate are invalid andj should not be counted. It may, of | course, "be presumed, nothing else ay- 1 pearing, that the jurat is regular,, and that the oath was actually ad- 1 ministered. In the case of Boulden vs. Davis, 200 N. C., 24, the Supreme! court has held that where it appears1 that the oath was not actually ad ministered, the ballets should be re jected or thrown out 1 "The certificate used must be signed by the elector a fid not by some one in his behalf. Of course, an illi terate person entitled to vote" is per mitted to make his mark. "A person desiring to vote by one or the other of these methods may make application to the chairman of the cou/ity board of elections before the ballots are distributed, or to the register of the precinct after they are distributed. He may make his application in person, or by mail, or I through another. If the application is made through another, it must be ! by written order of the applicant. I "The ballots, with the return en | velope, are then to be furnished to ? the applicant by the chairman of the j board of ejections or the registrar of 1 the precinct as the case may be. They may be so furnished by delivering 1 them to the elector in person, or by ? sending them through thp mail, or by j delivering them, to his" agent, duly I authorised in writing upon the appli cation signed by the applicant. "The absentee elector must sign his name on the ballot or ballots which he desires to cast. If he does not so sign his name on tho ballot or ballots, such ballot or ballots not so signed must be rejected and not counted. "Any applicant, physician, elector, officer or other person making any false oath or false certificate in con nection with an application___pr. bal lots, the return of ballots, or obtain ing ballots, or otherwise relating thereto, or any election official vio lating any of the provisions of the absentee ballot law, is guilty of a misdemeanor." B. J. Hunter of Derita, Mecklen burg County, has been selling his fine alfalfa hay in Charlotte for $20 to $23 a ton this winter and spring and says it is the most profitable crop 011 his" farm. (From the FUea of Lucg Ago) TH7 F.E3PONSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT "When Israel went out of Egypt, the mountains skipped like rams" ? Psalms 114:14. It is aaid that a man is affected by his environment. It is true; but it is equally true that man's environ ment is affected by him. We are in fluenced by us. In this passage we i have an incident of the latter kind. "When l3?ael went out of Egypt there was a change in her environ ment." "The. mountains skipped,"' She transferred to the things around her the impression of her own joy. She was inwardly leaping and dancing, and, as in a mirror, she saw the mountains leaping and dancing too. Why the mountains. Why not the brocks, the streams, the rivci*3? Is not the idea of motion more suitable j to these? Certainly; therefore the' Palmist, because he was a poet, did i not select them. He selected the mostj unlikely thing ? the mountains. Thci mountains naturally suggest any- ' thing but dancing. They suggest im mortality, steadfastness, iron determ ination to be affected by nothing. And that is just where the dramatjc j j power of this poet comes in. He sees ] I the joy of the soul infecting the most | ! stolid objects in the world ? the sober, | grave serious mountains. If those, could be made to dance to the rythm of the heart, no part of nature could possibly remain unmoved. "I regard it," said a writer whom F admire, "as a fine stroke of liter- ( ary genius that in seeking a partner for the dance of the spirit the Psalm ist should have chosen, not the streams, but, the mountains. He wants to show how utterly dependent is the aspect of nature on the state of the heart ? even where the aspect of j nature seems most fixed, and stereo- j type'!. He tells how in the joy of the j spirit even the stable mountains can- j not keep still to the eye of the be- j holder, but lead and bound and vibrate to the pulse of the gladdened soul. Have you not felt this power of joy over prosaic things. Has you not felt how cold has lost its chilli ness, how wind has lost its bitterness when the heart was young. Have you not felt how the roar of traffic made music, how vhe din of the city made merry, how the shriek of the railway train made laughter when the heart was young. Oh, the Psaimist was right when he said that when the soul is emancipated from its Egypt the very mountains leap. A PRAYER FOR RESPONSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT Lord, Thou has said "I go to pre pare a place for you." Yea, and the preparation must be rather in me,j than in the place. Any place will be jcycuB, if my heart- be young. Rajnvo nate my heftrt, 0 Lord, and the ruoun teics will leap. When my fce?rt grows old I g*t weary of localities; I flit from fiower to flower. I sigh for the wings of a dove to break the mono touy of ray mt, but thai is becauwi my heart is not leaping. If my heart would leap, everything would leap? the very mountains. It it oot new objects I want; it ia a renewed joy in them. Give ms back the joy of the waves, the laughter of the brooks, the sing ing of the streams. Give me back the (sense of morning, the smile of nature's greeting, the welcome from wood and field! Make the excursion what it used to be; make the evening walk what it used to be. It ia r>ot the years thet have stolen their charm,, it i.i the friction of the heart. Revive the joy of my heart, 0 Lord! Make my spirit youg again. Restore my sou! to freshness, that the pastures may be green! Give me back the child's wonder, the boy's ardour, the youth's glam our. Replace within, the rose that has withered. Rekindle the -spring that has faded; reanimate the hope that is vanished; renew to October the promise made to April; plant the burning bush among Jhe snows of Nebo. Give aspiration to my au tumn, wings to my winter, songs to my sunset, expectancy to my even ing light Then shall the waves ve sound once more; then shall the mountains leap as they did at morn ing's glow, and ai! this we ask for Jesus sake, Amen. ?
