"Were carried out with the display
and employment of firearms and other
deadly weapons.
In the Laurel Creek township it
is alleged by Republicans that the
ballots and ballot boxes were removed
from the polling place to the

had announced that no election would
be held that day. Later in the day,
it is charged, the officials returned
to the polling place and held the election,

The wholesale indictment of local
Democrats has caused considerable
consternation among party workers
in Watauga, and lines have been
drawn almost as close as in pre-election
days of last fall. Older leaders
in both parties seem to look on the
unusual procedure as a brand-new
* piece of strategy inaugurated by the
young element who assumed almost
complete control of the G. O. P. last
fall, and are of the opinion that little
car. be accomplished bv trying
to ring in tlie F 'deral government on
State affairs. They point out various
instances where Democratic party
worriers were dragged into l. s.
courts for alleged election fraud, sfnd
state that not one conviction has over
been obtained
Several veteran G. O. F. workers
go so far as to state that they were
never consulted on the advisability
of bringing the indictments, and consider
the move a mighty poor piece
of politics. The contention of many
of them is that the best way to settle
political differences is at the ballot
boxes, and that peace and harmony
should prevail between campaigns.
Several of the indicted men have
been interviewed and the general
reply given to the questioner is:
"They cant' do anything to nie; 1
have violated no law."' They take the

| Moth Balls Fatal
To Garden Pests
i Watauga County gardeners
i _ bring the information t'.iat insect
pests have appeared this season
in ever-increasing hordes, and the
inews of a distinctly new weapon
with which to combat them will be
1 gladly received. Mrs. W. L. Stansberry
of Vilas is authority for the
I recipe for bean beetles, cucumber
bugs, tatcr bugs, or what have
i you, and the formula is exceedingly
simple. Two moth balls are
pulverized and placed in one gallon
of water, allowed to remain
ovcrnsg.ht so that the solid matter
may become thoroughly dissolved,
and the solution is sprinkled over
the bean rows. In her garden. Mrs.
j Stansberry .applies .the .liquid
i through a tin can with perforated
couotn. *\ larger vessel is carried
j filled with the deadly potion, and
j only a few minutes is required to
i cover the usual garden patch. The
j pestiferous Mexican bean beetle i
! has been annihilated by this mixture
in different gardens and Mrs.
Stans-berry has yet to find an insect
on any kind of plant which
I can survive an application. The
moth balls may be secured at your
| drug stores, are sold in bulk, and
the cost is so low as to be negligible.

Frank Grist, Commissioner of Labor
and Printing, spent Friday and
Saturday in Boone. shaking hands
with old friends and, so political observers
believe, laying the foundation
for an aggressive campaign
against Cameron Morrison for tho
Democratic Senatorial nominatior
one year hence. On. Friday night
Grist, who emerged from tKc Worlc
War with a brilliant service record,
addressed members of Watauga Post
American Legion, on issues facing
the country today, and his brief ta^
was well received by the large crowd
in attendance. He was introduced by
Senator W. R. Lovill.
While the Labor Commissioner refrained
from "button-hole" tactics,
he let everyone know that he has his
hat in the ring, and divulged the in5
formation that within ten days his
j announcement for the Senate nomiI
nation will he issued. For a number
I of years bad blood has existed between
Grist and Senator Morrison,
so it ^s allegcd, and the Caldwell man
is determined to give the senior memher
and old-time "scrap'* for* the
Congressional plum, fie brings en
