getting warmer. A reader called
this morning and said one reason
we’ve had no water is because the
politicians are using it to make
mud .... Hallowe’en Carnival

Court Finds Anderson’s
Removal Not Warranted
Burnsville — Judge F. Donald
Phillips of Rockingham Monday
ruled there was not sufficient evi
dence on which to base an order of
removal from office of Polk County
Elections Chairman Ned Anderson.
Judge Phillips, presiding over
Yancey County Superior Court in
the Courthouse here, declared the
State Elections Board order of
October 10 removing Anderson
from office null and void and of no
effect.
The judge found that the State
Hoard of Elections did not proceed
in accordance with due process of
law in that:
(1) There was no notice of
charges.
(2) It had no right to hear all
witnesses whose testimony was
considered.
(3) Anderson was given no op
portunity to defend himself.
The State Board order grew out
of the disappearance of 350 blank
ballots during the June 28 runoff
primary.
Burnsville, rather than Colum
bus, Polk County seat, was picked
as the place for the hearing be
cause Judge Phillips was presiding
over a regular two-week Superior
Court term here and Yancey and
Polk both are part of the 18th
Judicial District.
R. L. Whitmire of Henderson
ville was Anderson’s counsel. B. E.
Samples had been named Ander
son’s successor, but had been pre
vented from taking office by a writ
of certiorari obtained by Whit
mire.—The Asheville Citizen.

15 per cent of the total.
