LEGAL BALLOT LAW ASSUMES NEW INTEREST Under St ate -Wide Measure, Cherokee Would Have Option of Secret Baiiot in Primary or Gid System, j Cherokee Scout, Ralelcb Bureau. RALEIGH, Feb. 7. ? Representa tive Ernest P. Hawkins' bill to place Cherokee County under the state pri mary law has taken on new interest because of the special provisions of the new state-wide Australian ballot bill advocated by Governor 0. Max Gardner, which conies up in the sen ate for action tomorrow. Under the substitute bill which was drafted by the sub-committee of the election laws group headed by Senator Carlisle Higgins, the county boards of election will have the op tion of either placing or not placing their counties under the Australian ballot for the primary. That means that should the county board of elec tions iii Cherokee so choose, then it may either operate the primary un der the Australian ballot system of voting or under the old system. The bill also provides that where the counties are not under the primary system, then the state-wide Austra lian ballot measure will not apply as to the primary and the conven tion method of selecting candidates for the general "led r on will remain. In the even' ;hat th" bill int; oduc ed by Representative Htwki'is is pas sed, and there seems to be no oppo sition developi lg to it, then Chero kee through ii boaid of elections will have the option of either using or not using the secret ballot in its primary. However, there the privi lege of choosinj. ends for under the terms of the measure the Australian ballot will apph in all general elec tions and the voting all over the state will be uniform. Would Bur Carnivrls Representative J. A. Porter of Macon county has introduced a bill with three representatives of other counties to the east of Macon, to pro hibit exhibitions by carnivals, in Macon. Mr. Porter believes that the carnivals hav * a tendency to en courage l'wlessn ss and immorality and that they tak^ money out of the communities that they visit. Herbert Out Again i Representative John C. Herbert, of Havesville, Clay County, who was ! confined to his room lecently by a j slight illness is able to be out and j is as active as ever around the capi- J tol building. Mr. Herbert is prov- j ing to be a general favorite with j members of the General Assembly | and is one of the most p. pillar mem- , bers of the minority party in Ral eigh. His legislative program so far ' is getting along swimmingly. He has one bill to attach penaltv *o j the tampering with private tele- 1 phone lines in Clay county and an- ! other to place the name of Mrs. Lil- ! lie Johnson on the pension roll for ; widows of Confederate Vclcrans. Seeks Repeal of Absentee Ballot Senator John Burnett, o* Rrvson City, representing the thirty-third senatorial district, which inclu^-s Cherokee county, believes that much of the trouble in elections in the mountain counties comes from the abuse of the absentee ballot and has indicated his intention of introduc ing a bill to repeal the absentee bal lot law as to his district. This he believes will do much to promote fairness and honesty in elections and to give the majority of the people the right to name their candidates no matter to what party they may belong.

ANDREWS AND MURPHY CLUBS IN BANQUET Brilliant Affair Staged At Regal Hotel Thursday Night. As Lions Played Hosts To Rotarian* One of ihe most brilliant social events of the \ alentine season was the banquet and get-together meet ing held Thursday evening in the dining room of the R?-gal Hotel, when the Lions Club of Murphy had as their guests the Rotarians and Ro tary Anns, of Andrews. The occasion was one of the most successful and enjoyable affairs ever held in Murphy, there being about a hundred Lions. Lionesses, Rotarians and Rotary Anns, and guests present. The lobby and dining room of the Regal Hotel was tastefully decorat ed in keeping with the season. A large streamer bearing the word '"welcome" flung itself across the entrance to the dining room, flanked on either side b\ larce flags bearing the emblems and colors of the two clubs. The dining room was beau tiful in a new coat of paint, with led bancings criscrossed as the over head decorations, while on the walls large and small red hearts were placed in sireamer fashion. The tables were beautifully deco rated with a red double-heart stream er down the cn'er ef the covers, while a small red -lipid and arrow res!"d at each plate, v?ith lar^ge red candles placed at intervals. The guests were met in the lohhv of the hotel and conducted to the room, where the* received varicolored banquet caps, each cap denoting the organization of the nearer. They also leceived a half heart bearing a number, the ladies numbers corresponding with the gentlemen, and vice versa. This was I done in order that man and w ifo would no* be permitted to sit togeth er while at banquet. Vs the I ions and Rotarians and jruests cnte ed the dining room, only the candles gave light, and the dimly lighted room presented a beautiful scene in the reflected colors of the occasion. The program of the meeting was carried out most successful! v. After places had been found at the table, all remained standing and sang "America." the Lions Club song, and Rev. W . H. Ford, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Andrews, and secretary of the Rotarians. de i -'"on. Then the Lions and Lionesses ?anrr "How Do ^ on Do?" holding hands with their quests, and chang ing the words to Rotarians and Ro ta rv Anns, to fit the occasion. The toastmaster, Lion Harry P. Cooper, was then introduced by Lion President Mercer Fain. Then fol lowed the roll rail of ihe two clubs, which was a unique and enjoyable part of the progiam. Instead of an swering "here" or "present." the toastmaster instructed the members to try and give a solution in a few I words or witty savins, the problem: "How to make life happy, though married.*' Lion Don Witherspoon. official spokesman f^r the Lions, delivered the address of greeting to the Rotar ians. and Rotarian Clyde Jarrett re sponded for the visiting club. The theme of the speakers was co-oper ation. good fellowship, and the spir it ef congenialit\ that always ac companied and followed as an after math of such gatherings. The Lions quartette, composed of Steele. Cooper. Davidson and Storey, was one ??f the big hits of the pro gram, and thev appeared several times, each followed by an encore.
