MM I (Kiglil 1'ago-) \ I'MBKR IS THE BATTLE IS ON TWO PILE FOR MAYOR .Thirteen File For Com missioners For Louisburg ? Election To Be Held On Tuesday of Next Week Interest Centered Around Power Question WiOh quite an active interest being worked up over' whether Lioulsburg should manufacture its electricity with its own diesel op erated plant or buy electricity from tihe Carolina Power Si Light Co.. me voters will go- to tbe polls on Tuesday of next week to select its city officials from one of the largest list? of candidates presen- 1 ted to them in many elections. This year the situation is differ ent. In former years the voters have engaged in a primary to se lect their nominees, and the elec tion passed off with little interest. This year there has been no primary, but t?he election 1b called upon not only to select the offic ial but to elect him at the same time. Therefore U)ip election Dext Tuesday is very important and every voter in the town should attend and take part in ? elect iun. The question til - volved is a big one. The twy im portant angles are whether the town should buy current at whole sale and take the responsibility! of selling it? preseul machinery or allow it to go bad because of ! ~ i.epreclutloujT or that the town .?Hie n t v round $4!>.000.on to t.iu. ><10.00 in the purchase of new Dachinery and repairs. In nei-i ther caae will the consumer bene-j lit because of lower rates and j there Is always the possibility ofi a tax rate boost to meet t'he dit'-l ference. Those filing t or iiayui are William C. Webb, incumbent, and jouah C. Taylor. The fliuii'tt old Board filed ? -???king Ki succeed I heiimelves. *lth the excepUon of Paul W. Klam. In uddition to these eight others filed, seeking a place on the Board. Those filing for Commissioner were as follows: C R. Sykes. F. H. Allen. W. B. Barrow, H. C. Beck, W (i Liin eoster, members of the old Board seeking re-election, and N. F. Freeman. W. J. Cooper, W. F. j Shelflon. Dr. J. B. Wheless, L. O.j Tharrington. C. C. Hudson; WII-( bur A. Raynor, W. J. (Pete)j Shearin. . All of these gentlemen are umong Louisburg's most active and capable business men and ?.ny group selected will, no doubt, give the town a splendid adinin istratHon. The voters should go to the polls early and vote for the ones they feel will give the town the best and most* economical, but progressive, administration. 1941 TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE (iKKNN HILL COUNTRY CLUB The tournament commute of the Oreen Hill Country Club has arranged the following tourna ments: May 3, Wake Forest at Louis burg.
