POLITICAL FIGHTS
ENLIVEN CAMPAIGN
Tho political pot in Cherokt.
county is hot. In lact, it's boiling
over. Two fights have been pulled
? ff in Murphy this week, involving
three of the candidates and a deputy
sheriff. |
.Monday afternoon L. L. Mason.
Democratic candidate for Sieriif,,
and Lee Owenby, deputy sheriff 011
the Republican side, had a little fist
fracas on the streets, but were sepa
rated by friends before any damage
was done.
1 uesday afte'rnoon. B. L. Padgel
and W. A. Boyd, Democratic and Re
publican nominees, respectively, for
the office of Register ot Deeds, had
a misunderstanding and cam<* to
blows, Boyd is said to have refused
to tight.
Both fights were .^aid to he the '
outgrowth ot campaign canards, and j
all parties appeared before the Mayor
and submitted following the fights. I
j Both the Republican and Demo- j
cratic parties are engaged this week
in stumping the county for their re j
spective ticKets, and it looks like j
the campaign in the county will be !
more hotly contested than the elec
tion of four y coirs ago during the
frmous Hoover-Smith campaign.
RED "CROSS ROLL
CALL BEGINS ON
j NOVEMBER I1TH
County Organisation Preparing To
Make Annual Drive For
Memberships
I The annual Red Cross Roll Call
begins on November 11th, Armistice
Daj, and continues to the 24th, or
Thanksgiving Day, and local officials
of Cherokee county are planning a
vigorous campaign of enlistment in
order to take care of local needs and
help the national organization as
I much a15 possible.
The Roll Call in the county this
year will be undtfr the direction of
Mrs. C. W. Savage, Roll Call chair
man. R. W. Gray is chairman of the
county chapter, and Mrs. H. Bueck is
publicity chairman.
A houce 'o house and store to store
canvass is being planned. Fifty cents
of every dollar collected in member
shins gn??s *o *Jie national headquar- 1
ters, and 50c remains in the county
for local work. Memberships are i
designated as follows: Annual, $l;f
contributing, $5; sustaining, $10;
and supporting, $25.
The Rpd Cro=-s wo'rk in Cherokee j
county the past year has proven the
worth of the organization. Yeast j
for pellegra. flour, seed, and cloth
to the unemployed, and numerous
families aided in sickness make it
necessary that the Roll Call be big
ger than ever this year, local offi
cials said.

FOUR BALLOTS
FOR VOTERS IN
NOV. ELECTION
Presidential Electors, State Officer*
County Officers, and Consti
tutional Amendments
When the voters of Cehflrokee
County go to the polls on November
3th., to cast their ballots for their
attention, instead of a conglomer
ation of ballots a> heretofore have
been lound during a presidential
election year.
The official ballot for county of
ficers this year contain* the candi
date- for county offices, candidates
for state senator, and the candidates
for the t' wii .'lip officers. Hfreto
forc. candidates for the coun'.y of
f'cers have been on .? separate hal
lo^, >o have the candidates Icr town
ship office: been < n a separate bal
lot. and the candidates for state sen
ate r have likewise been on separate
ballots. Thus three ballots have
been consolidated much to the con
venience and understanding of ih?*
voter, as a glance at the county bal
lot carried elsewhere will sftoy.
Presidential Ballot
The presidential ballot this year
is arranged like the county ballot,
except that is carries the president
ial electors of the Socialist party in
addition to the Democratic and Re
publican electors. In the first
column appear the Demoratic elec
tor.". in the second column, the Re
publican electors and in the third
column the Socialist electors.
T.ie names of the presidential can
didates "f the parti? < do not appear
on the ball*;, due to the system that
prevails and whioi has prevailed
for years of electing presidents
througli what is known as the elec
toral college. However, the presi
dential electors of the various par
ties are pledged to support the party
nominee in the electoral college, and
a vote fo'r the party elector is the
same as voting for the party nomi
nee for president.
State Ballot
The ballot lor state officers con
tains the nominee of the Democratic
and Republican parties. It also car
Vies the nominees of the two parties
for United States Senator, and for
| member "<if Congress. Heretofore,
these nominees have appeared on
three ballots, one fo'r the state of
jficers, one for United States Sen
ator and one for member of Con
gress. This year, by '.he consolid
ation of the ballots, it is made more
easy and convenient for the voter.
I Constitutional Amendments
, One ballot provides for a vote up
on four amendments to the constit
ution ol* North Carolina at this
election.
No. 1 is an amendment making
the term of office of sheriffs and
coroners fouV years instead of tw?.
No. 2 is an amendment permitting
proposed constitutional amendments
to be voted on at a special election.
No. is an amendment to the con
stitution to protect insurance for
widows and- children Against cred
itors of the insured.
| No. -1 is an amendment providing
! for solicitorial districts.
Cherokee Is Well
Represtnted At WCTC
Cherokee County ranks high in
number of student* attending college
at Western Carolina Teachers. Col
lege. There are more attending
than in previous years partly due t.o
the fact that tJhis will be the last year
than an Elementary Certificate will
be given with one year of college
work. . A larger number of boys are
attending due to the enlargement of
the athletic n - ram. Many boys
have been attracted to the college
since Robersor Hall has been turned
over to the boys. This building being
one of the best dormitories in the
State.
