WBBBtm mHAmMbkmsHNHBHI Democrats Sweep Madison County In what was considered by some election followers as one of the fastest vote counts in Madison County, the Democrat Party maintained its political dominance in Tuesday's election with Democratic candidates taking the lead in vote totals with few surprises With all of the county's 11 precincts reporting by 9:40 p.m. the unofficial tallies from the board of election showed Madison voters backing Presi dent Jimmy Carter over his opponent, Ronald Reagan, 3,202 to 2,629, giving Carter 55 percent of the local vote. Spectators at the courthouse were noticeably stunned when an Associated Press an nouncement was read about 10 p.m. stating that Carter was preparing to concede to Reagan within a matter of minutes. In the gubernatorial race Gov. Jim Hunt handily defeated challenger Beverly Lake in the county 3,692 to 2,261, drawing -62 percent of the vote. Lieutenant Governor Jim my Green totaled 3,363 votes to William Cobey s 2,211, demonstrating Madison s voters' preference for a Democratic state govern ment. U.S. Senator Rogert Morgan < D) polled 58 percent of the vote in Madison with a 3,302 total to John East s 2,399. In the race for the 11th Con gressional District seat, in cumbent Democrat Lamar Gudger took only 56 percent of the vote with 3,281 to William Hendon s 2,531. Election wat chers were predicting this race would be a close one in the 11th District but the sur prise came when word was received that Hendon was leading in the totals in Gudger s own Buncombe County. The Democrat Party scored well in Madison's two local races for the offices of register of deeds and tax collector. Jena Lee Buckner will retain her position as register of deeds after gathering 3,495 votes to Republican Faye Ball s 2,179. Harold Wallin easily defeated V.J. Willis 3,521 to 2,125 for 62 percent of the vote in unofficial totals for tax collector. The state constitutional amendment requiring justices and judges to be duly authoriz ed to practice law prior to election or appointment was overwhelmingly approved in the county, according to board of elections officials. Blaze Destroys House Three trucks from the Marshall Fire Station and 16 volunteer firemen were dispatched at 7 p.m. to fight a fire of undetermined origin that turned a two-story frame house into a total loss Saturday night. The wood frame structure, located at the in tersection of Little Pine Creek and Bear Creek roads was engulfed in flames when the firefighters camfe on the scene at 7:10 p.rti. The fire was brought under control at 7:25 but the crew stayed with it until 9 p.m. locating and ex tinguishing "hot spots" that threatened to reignite. Damage was estimated at between 8 and 10 thousand dollars with the upstairs the most heavi ly damaged. The building was unoccupied and no reason for the blaze has been determined. Halloween night the department was kept busy with the dirty job of extinguishing dumps ter fires in the Walnut-Barnard-Brush Creek area. Four of the "green boxes" had their contents set ablaze by Halloween pranksters. REMAINS OF HOUSE on Little Pine Creek Road which was destroyed by fire Saturday night. Firemen responded to first blaze at ed leaves fed i (mm '-i . ... n areas of the county in August ? 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and then again at 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Aldermen Conduct Light Meeting Marshall Town Aldermen breezed through a light agen da Monday evening at their regular monthly meeting, spending moat of their time listening to a request from Maurice McAlister for a new ceiling in the Marshall Fire Department headquarters. McAlister, a volunteer fireman, requested permis sion and 91,000 to install a lower ceiling in the building which house* the fire tracks and equipment, stating that the renovation would cut the heating coat to the town about 25 percent. The town now pays 91,500 per year to heat the facility with fuel oil, and a one r .,|L. tkn m * kill fourtn reduction in ine iiiei vui trucks and equipment during both the winter and summer He said last winter a water pump on a tanker truck froze and burst because of the dif ficulty in heating the room, causing inconvenience wad a hazardous condition had there been a fire before the pump was repaired.
