The IXLDe- partment Store i , il Patton Avenue. Asheville is today experiencing one of the quietest elections in the city's history. There Is very little Interest and a decidedly small vote. The elec tors are choosing, officials for the next two years but the nominees ol the democratic party are practically without opposition and the voters are showing their lack of Interest by not going to the polls. The only Interest In the election has to do with a vote on issuing $50,000 in bonds for Im provement of school property and ex- resslng an opinion anent a curfew aw. The only opposition that the emocratlc candidates have today comes from the socialists and up to noon the socialist votes was not suf ficiently large to be even interesting. The vote at noon waa extremely light and this light vote is giving the ad vocates of the school bonds no little concern since it is necessary for a majority of the qualified voters of the city to vote in favor of the bonds be fore they may be legally issued. At 1 o'clock the largest number of otes cast was in the Fifth precinct where about 50 voters had participat ed In the election. At several of the precincts republicans voted for the demooratlo nominees. CAN WE OBLIGE YOU i IN ANY WAY? We like to accommodate our customer In .very way that we ran.
