(Daily Record photo by Louis Dearborn). Joel Layton (Continued from page one) to the town board served as regis trar and Judges of the election were R. B. Quinn and Venable Baggett. There was a record turn out of women. Election officials said “Prac tically every third voter was a woman.” There was no indication that ail of the feminine vote was in one camp, but it was agreed the largest percentage of it went to Layton. Political observers said personal popularity of personable Fowler, who is active in American Legion affairs, was not able to weather the'general "desire for a change.” The vote was close; several times during the tally, only one vote sep arated the two candidates for mayor. Movement for a change in town officials began when Mayor Charles S. Loving, mayor of the county seat for nearly ten years, let it bs known he would not serve again. Several ©embers of the incum bent town board were renomina ted at the April mass meeting when candidates were named but later withdrew, leaving Fowler the only member of the present regime seek ing office. Foufler made no active effort for the nomination but until after the mass meetbig .lt appeared a fore gone conclusion that he would be elected to the office. Loving was vacating. Retiring board members were solidly for him. However, at the mass meeting, four, candidates for mayor, were JortnfejiT and John A. Womble. The latter two later . withdrew, with Womble filing for the board. VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN Layton conducted a vigorous per son-to-person campaign around town. He gave as his reason that he had gotten his business on a well organized basis and desired to serve the town. Meantime, friends of Fowler con ducted an active campaign in his behalf on the last few days prior to the election. Layton is the son of Mrs. Joel G Layton and the late Mr. Lay ton who founded the supply com pany his son now owns. The new mayor returned to Lillington from Richmond, Va. in 1936 and became associated with the store in 1939, acquiring full interest and direction of the business from his father in August, 1947. His father came to Lillington in the twenties, investing heavily in Lillington real estate property and business interests. The new mayor is expected to wage a vigorous campaign to col lect past due taxes, water bills and initiate long range plans ttf at tract new business and industry to Lillington. He is married to the former Miss Margaret Martin of Sanford and they have one eight-year-old daugh ter, Margaret. O’Quinn’s record vote was con sidered a personal tribute to the young business man who has head ed many of Lillington’s civic drives and has done much of the “head and foot work” in Red Cross, polio and other community endeavors. He is a veterah of World War 11. Davis, second high man on the council, is co-owner with his wife new studio on Wednesday. The new building was erected by Nu-Home Builders and Supply Company of Dunn. of the Club Cleaners, dry cleaning establishment they founded sev eral years ago in Lillington. He is a native of Massachusetts. Sexton, with his brother Fred, is a Lillington man who returned from service to build within a five year span one of the largest used car agencies in this part of the state. Howell is the manager of the Farmers Cotton Oil Company and was a candidate for mayor in a municipal election several years ago. Womble, the owner of the ! food company which bears his name and has other business interests in the county seat. TAKE OVER TONIGHT New officials will be sworn in office tonight at 7130 p. m. at cere monies in the town hall. Magis trate Bradford Stewart will admin ister the oaths. The new mayor said the council will meet immediately and several topics are already booked for act ion at the first gathering. • .Layton, pressed for a statement, replied in a humorous vein. He said the opposition "described me as a man ready to blow up or dam up the Cape Fear, but added “I wear a number 12 shoe, the small est man's hat that can be bought, like salt herring and am just fool enough to like Lillington and think it Is a swell town.” “I appreciate the vote of confi dence given me and together hope we can do many of the things : that need to be done here.” i Asks Town f 1 (Continued From Rage One) erty be brought into the city limits and the request applies to the remaining 35 percent. The board will be asked to make its final decision on whether to repurchase the lot sold to the Dunn Woman’s Club for a Com munity Building. R. R. Raynor is scheduled to appear with a request that two parking meters be removed and the spaces they cover converted in to loading zones in front of the Carolina Cleaners.
