Certifi cate B is to be used when the elector is sick or otherwise phys ically unable to attend the polls on election day. A person desir ing to vote by one or the other of these methods may make ap plication to the Chairman of the County Board of Elections before the ballots are distributed, or to the registrar of the precinct aft- j er they are distributed. He may make this application in person, or hy mail, or through an agent. If the application is made through an agent, the law re quires :hat it must be by writ ten order of the voter desiring to use the ballot. This means that the absentee voter niu.st sign the request for the ballots and cer tificate and if he wishes an agent to get them for him, he must, under his signature, authorize the agent in writing to get them for him. The State Board of Elections has adopted the appli cation form on the other side and requests that this form be used entirely, except where an elector writes a letter to the County Chairman or his regis trar requesting an absentee cer tificate and ballot, in which in- stanco it would be proper to seTui tliem to him. There must be a written applicaiion signed by the voter for each absentee cer tificate ami ballot issued, wheth er by this form on tho other side, nr liy letter. The old print ed application form sliould not he used. If the absentee certifi cate and ballot are issued to an elector's agent, it is necessary that the absentee elector who wishes the certificate shall sign both the application form and the authority to the agent to .se cure thtJi for him. Thus, the a.gcnt does not sign the applica tion for the ballot and certifi cates but merely delivers the written application of the voter signed by voter and directing that the ballot and certificate be delivered to the agent for him. Each registrar, as well as the County Chairman, is required by law to keep a record of the ab sentee ballots and certificates is sued by him in a book, showing the date of the application, the name and residence of the voter, date of furnishing said ballots and whether they were delivered to the voter in person, or by mail, or through a duly author ized agent. The State Board of Elections has ordered all election officials and electors to comply strictly with these laws and these instructions. “R. -M.

Elbert Rhoades 721 Main Street North Wilkesboro, N. C. - PHONE 134 the days of Grover Cleveland, declaring that through all these years the Democratic party ihad ! championed the common people and during each administration had brought prosperity to the land. He reviewed each adminis tration until he came down to that of Hoover and there he painted a black picture of star vation and want after the peo ple in 1928 had “worshiped the golden calf” by listening to the promises of abundant prosperity with the abolishment of poverty. Tho election of President Roosevelt he considered an “act of a people who could stand oppression of the many and priv ileges to the few no longer.” He compared those Iwho are not satisfied ■with the New Deal to the story of the man, who in his dream “found the streets of heaven too bright, had contract ed a cold by going through the clouds to get there, was unnerv ed by the music of the harps, and his halo didn’t fit.’’ Although he gave a complete endorsement of the New Deal the greater part of his address was devoted to giving a record of his administration as gover nor. Here’s a picture he gave of the condition of state affairs at the time of his inauguration: Income shrunk to startling por- portions: second highest public debt of any state in the union; state government running 7 1-2 million dollars behind each year and a $15,000,000 deficit staring the new administration in the face; state bonds worth only 65 cents on the dollar with interest at six per cent; schools facing a real danger and a threatened col lapse because of inability to col lect property taxes; tax burden on farms resulting in numerous foreclosures in all sections. In reviewing how these prob lems were met ho told of that memorable session of the legis- lat\ire when its members were unable to find a solution after GO days study and he went be fore that body and recommend ed a general sales fax. although he did not like and still does not like it he saw no other way out. The gevernor stated in his speech that he had to choose be tween recommending the sales tax and a collapse of the schools. Here, he said, he stood four square for the schools and edu cational opportunities for all the children of the state alike. “Now,” said Governor Ehring- haus, “the state is paying as it goes, and if we can’t pay, we don’t go. Not one cent has been borrowed by the government daring this administration and we have paid $18,000,000 in principal and interest on the public debt." He deplored the small salaries that are being paid to school teachers and promised to use his influence to belter the situation but compared North Carolina’s record in paying teachers last year with what some others states had done where only a I part of the promised salaries were paid. Further comment on the fi nancial situation revealed that bonds now are worth more than par with an average interest rate of 3.76, which lowered the debt cost $2,250,000. He gave figures by which he attempted to show that the state’s taking over the schools of Wilkes county is responsible to a great extent for having a tax rate a.s low as 80 cents. “Add the cost of the operation of schools in the county, $181,619, to the present county budget and the county would have a tax rate of $2.29 instead of 80 cents,’’ he said. In what might be termed as an answer to criticism of the state’s spending the governor said that if all state offices ivere closed that only $1,000,000 could be cut from the budget. “Collec ting the taxes,” Governor Eh- ringbause pointed out, “cost on ly 1.01 per cent of the amount collected,” which he considered a record in economy for the un ion. In closing he stated that the three principles of good govern ment are economy, efficiency and honesty, which the state is en deavoring to use and which are only applications of the princi ples of Democracy. He asked the people to send to Washing ton congressmen who would help the president and to the North Carolina legislature representa tives who would aid him and his administration in further econ omy, efficiency and honesty in running the affairs of the state.
