Total Vote More
Than 10,600 Here In
Haywood County
All Five Ammendments Pass
In State; Election Here Was
Unusually Quiet
Haywood county voters gave
President Roosevelt a total of 7,
776 votes against 2,917 cast for Mr.
Dewey in the election on Tuesday,
making a vote of two and one half
to one and a majority of 4,859 in
favor of the winning candidate,
according to an unofficial canvass
made by The Mountaineer of the
vote from each of the 22 precincts
in the county.
The vote was one of the largest
ever polled in the county and was
around 4,000 more than the ma
jority of the political leaders of the
county had predicted. The most
optimistic had stated that a 10,000
vote would be possible, but none
prophesied over that figure,
Haywood's record breaking vote
is in keeping with the national 50
million vote that gave President
Roosevelt more than 400 electoral
votes with returns incomplete.
Haywood kept pace with the
state majority, with all state Demo
cratic candidates leading with big
majorities over their Republican
opponents.
An analysis of the votes cast in
Haywood county would indicate
that there were more Republicans
who voted r President Roosevelt
for a f out . term than for Mr.
Dewey fot a first term, despite
numerous predictions to the- con
trary. The vote in the state also
reflected the trend in the national
poll, with the President's over
whelming majority.
All five constitutional amend
ments were given a large vote,
going over with a big majority,

Mis. H. C. Ferguson left Tues

recent meeting and plans were
made for the transfer of the prop

"More than any other one man,"
said Dr. Quillian in announcing the
donation, "Bishop Atkins had the
vision for the assembly, and he
largely selected the location. It is
fitting that his home overlooking
the lake, should now be set apart
not only as a memorial but as a
place of service to the assembly.
Friends of Junaluska everywhere
will join in expressing thanks and
appreciation to Mrs. Atkins for this
beautiful home."
The late Bishop Atkins died in
1923 while presiding over a ses
sion of the Little Rock Conference.
He is buried in Greenhill here. He
was an outstanding preacher in
the Southsrn Methodist Episcopal
Church for over a half century. He
served for a number of years in
the foreign field, having been sta
