In inv announcement I pledged myself to abide by the results of the primary and to support in the general elec tion in November all candidates who were duly nominated in the primary. In the primary election my opponent received a majority of 2,171 votes. I raised no questions as jo how ,ind why my opponent re reived a majority of the votes. !aii.v and sundry repot ts were brought to me about irregularities and violations of the law, but re gardless of same. I entered ... the fall rampaign and helped elect the whole Democratic ticket nomi nated in the primary. Again 1 made the race for nomi nation to the House of Representa tives in the May Democratic pri mary in 1910. Again my opponent received a majority, this time of "01 votes a much less majority than he received in 1941.. Again many reports came to me to the ef fect that vast sums of money wen spent in the primary election and that I was defeated by and through violations of the law. Again I did not ask for any investigation hv election officials of the violations ef the law and election irregulari ties which were reported to :. .Mid. again I accepted the results of the primary in good faith and in compliance with my pre-primary pledge. I am now supporting the Democratic candidates nominated in the Mav primary. Regardless of the law controlling primary elec tions, my loyalty and devotion to the principles and policies of the gr?at Democratic party prompts me to help keep this present adminis tration in office. Some of mv friends came to me after the Mav primary and asked me to run on an independent ticket, and guaran teed my election if I would so run. I informed them that I could not do that. Others of my friends, since the primary, have asked me to help elect of the candidates named on the Republican ticket. I informed them that I would not do that and that I would vote the Democratic ticket on November 5, 194G, just a I am pledged to do. I want the Democratic voters of Haywood County to know how much I appreciate the fine support they gave me in the last two pri maries, and I hereby give notice of my candidacy before the Demo cratic primary in May, 1948. and sincererly, I solicit the support of all voters in the next primary. Now some of our Democrats are threatening to scratch the names of some ol thr Democratic nominees , and to vc.te for some Republican I no uhiees. There are about 11,000; Democratic voters on the registra- j lion books of the Democratic party in Havwood County. Of this num- j ber 7.057 cast their ballots in the list May primary. AH of these 7.057 voters, if they are to be considered consistent Democrats, should support the Democratic nominees in the November election. If there are nominees on our ticket that we don't want to vote for, it arpears to me that it will be a bad nn'.icv to try to displace them by otin? for Republicans who are basically enemies to the Demo cratic party. Why not, instead of trying to elect Republicans, go into the next Democratic primary and sc to it that candidates who are objectionable to any Democratic voters shall not receive their votes. In other words, why not work nut our differences and all of our Democratic problems within our Democratic family rather than to try to elect Republicans to of fice who claim they can come in and settle our troubles for us? I an Informed, and believe that many nominees now on the Democratic ticket here in Haywood will not enter the next Democratic primary for nomination to offices. I am informed that my brother, John Sentelle. is waging a vigorous ficht against some of the Demo crats candidates and advocating th election of Republicans in their stead. I regret to hear this report. John Sentelle has won the reputa tion, not only in Haywood, but throughout Western North Caro Vr?.. of being one of the most en ti ui.istie and loyal supporters of the Democratic party Haywood Countv has ever produced. I have absolutely nothing to do with his present political activities, and I regret to see a fine, life-long Demo crat, such as he is, fighting- against Democratic nominees and for Re publican nominees. The Democratic Administrations in Haywood County, in the State of North Carolina and in the United States of America are doing more fo-- a'l the people, from the highest to the lowest, from the richest to the poorest, and more for Agricul ture. Industry, Labor and Govern ment employees than any adminis tration has ever done before. Why then should we make a change of administrations under present day conditions at this time? R. E. SENTELLE. Paid Advertisement Town Officials Of Canton Will Consider Park . Citizens Present Petition Asking For $150,000 Recreational Development The mayor and board of alder men at Canton will consider at their meeting Monday a petition signed by approximately 900 voters requesting that an election be called to vote the issuance of $150, 000 in bonds for the purpose of developing a modern recreation park. This project has been under dis cussion for some time, having been backed first by the Civitan club and later by various other civic organizations. The petition was circulated among the voters recent ly, and was reported to have met with enthusiastic response wher ever presented. Under the state recreation en abling law, 15 per cent of the quali fied voters are required to petition their town officials for such an election. The 900 names on the petition represents approximately 45 per cent of the Canton electo rate. Land next to the Canton high school grounds was purchased by the Town in 1936 for such a de velopment. The petition specifies that the park include facilities for swimming, bowling, skating, and various other types of recreation. It was presented Monday to the Town Clerk by Coach C. C. Poin-dcxter. Lie Gets Degree Used 1946 Cars Require Transfers If you buy any used car, even a used 1946 model automobile, from a dealer or an individual, be sure you are given a certificate of transfer showing the actual price paid for the car. That was the reminder issued to day by District Director Theodore S. Johnson. Ceiling prices of any model may be obtained by calling or writ ing your Area Price Control Board, Johnson said, adding that all sales at over ceiling prices should be re ported immediately, so that proper action can be taken and a refund secured.

(International) August Retail Sales Index At New High WASHINGTON August retail store sales reached a new season ally adjusted high of $8,540,000,000, the Commerce Department an nounced, representing a more than 5 per cent increase over July and a 35 per cent gain over the same month a year ago. The major factor in the rise in retail trade since the middle of this year has been higher rather than increases in the quantity ef goods flowing to the consumer," the Department said in a state ment. It said that the 35 per eent gain registered over August, 1935, was accentuated by the two-day clos ing of retail oultlets which fol lowed VJ-Day. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board reported department store sales throughout the nation in creased 14 per cent during the week ended Oct. 5 over the cor responding period last year. All districts reported increases except Cleveland, which showed a decline of 17 per cent. The board observed Cleveland district sales were affected by sales reductions in Pittsburgh because of the power strike there.

Writing to the Daily Mirror about a recent article in a Moscow paper which described Holmes as a de plorably capitalistic type, Doyle said: "I would recommend that they entertain their readers with a bright article on the practices of their own government, who in pub lishing the Sherlock Holmes books have overlooked the legal and ab surdly moral necessity of paying a rouble in royalties to the owners of the copyrights." Five Million Acres In North Carolina Need Reforesting, Says Wood Expert North Carolina has about 4 mil lion acres of woodland that has bee poorly cut over and in many ease burned over to a point where there is now only a sparce stand of growing trees. There is also anoth er IV million acres of cleared land that is klle, with much of it badly eroded. B. W. Graeber of State College, who is in charge of Extension For estry,, says that a good portion of this land should be reclaimed through the planting of trees. As Blatters now stand, these lands are returning tittle if any income. Graeber maintains that a balance should be established between land in cultivation, land in pasture, and land in growing limber. As a gen eral rule, he says that trees should be planted on idle open fields not suited for profitable an nual crops or for good pasture. Large openings in the woods, where root competition is not too great, may also be planted. In the Mountains and the upper Piedmont, where woods are open or poorly stocked because of grazing, he sug gests underplantings of white pine or Norway spruce. For general planting, Graeber recommends the spacing of forest trees about 6 by 7 feet. This re quires 1,000 trees per acre. In re claiming gullies, 5 by 6 feet spac ing may be advisable. Farmers desiring information ef what tree seedlings are available for planting, what types are best for their farms, and other such information, should contact the county age'nt.
