C. March 1, 1933. Editor of The Scout: In last Sunday's issue of the Ashevile-e Citizen-Times I notice a news story coming from Raleigh where it nas been suggested by a'group of nerokee Democrats that Representative G. W. Cover, Jr., of Cherokee, introduce a bill increasing the present County Board of Education r?m three to five members, the Purported purpose of which is to appoint two other members on the oard who are not favorable to Mr. ?rtin, and intimates that I am unt*ie". y to Mr. Martin and opposed it his reappointment unless he punishes" pertain teachers in the *or political activities ,n the past election. t? tke first place, nothing is farKer. the truth.

I Superintendent A. L. Martin, at i who the suggested or proposed legisI lation is directed, refused to comnient on the contents of the article j- or the proposed legislation in any % way. H. P. Grant, member of the County Hoard of Education, who is \ involved by the article bv intimation that he is favorable to the proposed ? Or suggested legislation, denied any - knowledge of the affair, stated he ? was opposed to any such method or | tactic.-, and said that it "is a scheme of somebody to make political thunder at my expense." The article appearing in the Citii zen-Times Sundav, Feb. 26, follows: POLITICAL ACTIVITEIS OF j TEACHESR CAUSE STIR Group of Democrats In Cherokee Protest Renaming Martin The political activities of severai j teachers in the Cherokee countv school? will probably lead to a gen- . e'ral .'bake-up it was learned today. A group of Cherokee county dem- ; c^rau has protested against the re- | appointment of A. L. Martin, Murphy, as county superintendent of schools unless he agrees to discharge these teachers who campaigned actively against the national, State and local Democratic tickets last fall. Mr. Ma'rtin has served as superintendent of the Cherokee county schools for 23 years, but he will: probobly b$ relieved unless he agrees j to make these changes in the teaching fi rce. Two members of the present Cherokee county board of education ! P. A. Mauney and Robert H. King? are friendly to Mr. Martin, while the | third number, B. P. Grant, is said to Appose his reappointment unless the teachers are punished for their polit- i ical activities. This group of Democrats has sug- ; gested to Representative G. W. Cover, Jr., of Cherokee, that he increase the county board of education to five members, adding two members who would follow Mr. Grant in his fight against these teachers. Representative Cover declines to comment, but it was learned from reliable sources today that he will agree to this move unless assured by Superintendent Martin that the differences will be satisfactorily adjusted. ?Asheville Citizen. |t S| Weekly Newspaper in Western Nor, Murphey, 's Story Political Stii Pills Introduced By Cover Affect Cherokee Count: A riumbe'r of bills have been intrc duced in the General Assembly al fecting Cherokee County.

It follows: "Whereas, many mortgages and deedd of trust have heretofore been executed conveying real estate to secure notes, bonds or other evidence of indebtedness; and "Whereas, there has been a great and unusual depreciation in the cash value of reaf estate and a consequent increase in the purchasing power or value of the dollar; and "Whereas, upon foreclosure of all such mortgages and or deeds of trust the leal estate therein conveyed seldom brings anything near its real worth or actual value and owing to the many bank failures and financial condition of the poeple generally, the holders of the notes, bonds or other evidence of indebtedness ecured by such mortgages or deeds of trust usually become the purchasj ers of such real estate for amounts ' much less than the indebtedness | I thereby secured, and such foreclosures, whether by exercise of the power of sale in such instruments contained, or by civil action, have the effect to wipe out the veal estate of the debtors and leave them subject to a deficiency judgment; and "Whe'reas, foreclo.-uies and taking of deficiency judgments has the effect to wipe out the assets of the Hphtnrs for nnlv a r?oi?f r\f vaol value and leave the debtors subject to deficiency judgments and prevent the return to normal business and financial conditions: Now, therefore, "The Gt-ne'ral Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section 1, That in all sales of real property made with in five years from the date of ratification of this act by mortgagees and or trustees under powers of sale contained in any mo'rtgage or deed of trust securing notes, bonds or other evidence of indebtedness given to secure any indebtedness executed before or after the ratification of this act,or where judgment or dedree is given, within five years from the date of the ratification of this act, fo? the foreclosure of any mortgage and or deed of trust executed before or after the ratification of thi? art t n CP<<liro nntpp 1 or other evidence of indebtedness, the holders of such notes, bonds and or other evid: nee of indebtedness secured by such mortgage and or deed of trust shall not be entitled to a deficiency judgment on account of such mortgage or deed of trust, or obligation secured by the same: Provided, however, that this act shall not ap ply to mortgages and or deeds of trust given as indemnity bonds, or to secure sureties or endorsers."
