Totals Disappointing
Registration Ends Saturday
With only two more days remaining
In the re-reglstratlon of Franklin vot
?ri, registrars and election officials
are concerned with the slxe of the
registration to date. Reports from
nine of the eleven precincts Indicate
that only about 55% of those previously
on the books are registered under the
new registration.
Negro registration has doubled the
1,000 to 1,500 estimated on the old
registration. In the nine precincts,
through last Saturday It Is estimated
that 2,630 Negroes have registered
since tte books opened on March 30.
There have been no reports received
from Hayesvllle and Cypress Creek
precincts.
The total registration through Satur
day Is estimated at 6,994, excluding
the Hayesvllle and Cypress Creek to
tals.
Loulsburg leads all precincts with a
total of 2531 with Negroes making up
45 percent of the total. The approxi
mate breakdown Is 1393 whites and
1138 Negro. The Negro voter regis
tration drive has been more effective
in the Loulsburg precinct than else
where although several precincts re
port that the percentage Is running
near forty-five. Throughout the county,
except the precincts not reporting,
Negroes make up 37 percent of the
registration.
The latest estimate on the population
of the county gives a total of 27,136
Including 15,337 whites and 11,799
Negroes.
There were 12,564 registered voters
on the old books and only Loulsburg
precinct appears likely to reach their
total In the new registration. Many
precincts are tar behind their original
total. Frankllnton had 2576, has re
gistered 1595 or a loss of 981 voters;
Loulsburg Is behind 405; Harris town
ship had 1036, has registered 495
leaving 541 more unaccounted for.

lng a physician's care and the subse
quent dismissal followed.
Also Involved In the suit was the
National Surety Company, the firm
that bonded the two Champions. No
witnesses were heard Wednesday and
therefore the defense did not present
any arguments against the charges.
The amount of the settlement was not
- made public, but it Is reported that
the defendants will pay the plaintiffs
an undisclosed amount.
The two Davis men were passengers
In the Champion car and It was stated

tlals, If It becomes necessary to up
grade our public school opportunities
for our children." Jolly said, "I
would not favor taxing the chief agri
cultural product of the people of this
area; however, If a luxury tax Is need
ed to Increase the support for educa
tion, then I would favor such a luxury
tax". Rogers and Church replied with
a simple "No" to the question.
James Speed, unopposed for return to
the House of Representatives, also
said he would not support a tax on
tobacco as to steps to be taken to
Increase income, he replied, "It Is
not a matter of emergency or Imme
diate action but gradual planning and
developing new ways and a continuation
of many present efforts and programs
for the total development of North
Carolina's economy and potential grow

All candidates for the General As

mlssloner were asked: What did you
feel Is the most pressing problem fac
ing the county In the next two years
and what are your suggestions (or help
ing to solye this problem? What do
you feel can be done to raise the
economy and the standard (In the county)
and to decrease the welfare rolls?
Richard Cash said the problems " are
too numerous to mention. Keep
working" In answer to the first ques
tion. J. W. House replied improve
ment could be made If we would "be
more progressive" Booster White stat
ed, "The school problem is the main,
our first problem and there is only
one answer and that Is for the people
to build a school." E. S. Sykes re
plied Education Is the problem and his
answer was, "Federal aid to build
more classrooms and Increase teacher
pay." Lemeul Ward stated, "The
most pressing problem would have to
be the consolidation of FrankllnCounty
schools - the solution being the School
Bond Issue."
Ward said the things to be done to
help the economy is "To attract and
Invite additional industry, and to revise
and correct the welfare department."
Sykes said "Increased efforts to bring
in new industry to create new Jobs"
was the answer.
White replied to question number two,
"The best answer to the economy Is
for folks that are able to work to get
a Job and get off the welfare. There
pressing concern over the lack of
Interest In some areas In the regis
tration and the upcoming elections.
Fearful of future block voting by Ne
gro cltltens, many are urging whites
to register.
Many precincts have not made an
accurate count of those registered and
figures reported have been estimates
by elections officials. Some have
reported only total registration to a
particular date and many have estimat

Loulsburg reported Wednesday after
noon that around 50 persons had re

work and are able. They waste what
they get."
To the same question, House said,
. . more Industry for the county.
I believe we need Industry that Is
willing to pay Its own way. . . . ad
ditional Jobs could help reduce the
welfare rolls. I believe the welfare
rolls should be revived at least once
a year to make sure people on welfare
need the help. I also believe that If
a person Is able to work and does not
work when offered a Job he should
be removed from the welfare rolls.
If a person Is able to work he should
not be on welfare to begin with.
Cash replied, "To ralae the economyl

fare, well, well and well. No com
