? urday afternoon, gave evidence
that the people of Franklin Coun
ty would be assured of a lively
campaign this year.
It seemed the interest was
largely centered on the position
of Sheriff, as seven of Franklin
County citizens expressed a de
sire to serve the county in this
capacity by signing on the dotted
line and paying the filing fee.
These seven were John P. Moore,
the present encumbent, F. C.
Richardson, J. N. Tharrington. J.
Henry Cash, L. G. Turnage, C. C.
Hudson and Taylor W. Boone.
The office of House of Rep
resentatives and County Account
ant came in for a share in popu
larity when H. Crawford Kear
ney, former representative, and
Senator Willie Lee Lumpkin filed
for the House race, and Tracy K.
Stockard, Clerk for the Town of
Loufsburg, and J. H. Boone,
Franklin County's present Tax
Collector, pitched their hats in
the ring for the important posi
tion of County Accountant. It
will be recalled that Pier Wil
liamson, . present Accountant,
was largSly arhong the latter In
the old sayln* "that few die and
none resign" public office, by an
nouncing he would not run again.
Evidently some of the "big
public of Franklin County"
thought '*"> Pnnimlaslonera- Job
was of sufficient importance to
stir up a "little fun" In the run
ning. bo when the wind-up came
it was found that all districts
would have contests except one?
this being No. 3. composed of
Hayesvtlle and Sandy Creek, from
which Joel Z. Terrell ylll have
easy sailing without opposition.
In the other Districts those seek
ing the support and votes of the

of these entrants are present- en

In the township offices there will
be only one contest and that will
be in Cear Rock township when

who make up "Lovat's Scouts".
The Commandos quickly cut
