ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS Election Is Quiet; Voting Fairly Good Four Aldermen Without Opposition; Assured of Election for Two Years Henderson had a quiet municipal election today for the choice of a mayor and four aldermen for the next two years. But a fairly heavy vote was being cast, according: to reports from the several precincts. * The only contest was between Mayor Irvine B. Watkins and Henry T. Powell for the office of mayor. All of the four aldermen candidates, now members of the City Council, were seeking re-election and were unoppos- j ed. Total votes cast at the several poll ing places were in number sufficient ly high to be considered rather heavy, although two years ago 1,610 votes were cast for mayor between the same two candidates who today con tended for the honor. Polls opened at sunrise and will close at sunset this evening, at which time the vote count will begin. It is expected the result will be known in a short while. middleburgTinals T 0 BEGINJUNDAY Dr. Townsend, of Raleigh, to Deliver Sermon; Tyner the Address Commencement program for Mid dleburg high school will begin next Sunday with Dr. C.

Henderson Daily Dispatch m ■ w ABC STORE GIVEN LICENSE ON WINE Sheriff to Dispense Beer and Wine Licenses Ap proved by Board TO DELAY~TAX SALES Advertising First Monday in June Planned; Tax Collections by Sheriff $6,504 for Month of April ! •• •-.■vw-v.... A free license to the county ABC j store to sell wine was voted by the Vance Board of County Commission ers Monday at their regular monthly meeting for May. The license, under a new State law, is $25, and grade A cases and restaurants have the right to apply for the licenses. It was felt useless to charge the license to a county institution, when the county was imposing and collecting the fee. The board also arranged for the sheriff’s office to issue beer and wine licenses after approval by the board itself. Hitherto this has been, done by the register of deeds as clerk to the board. It was ordered by the hoard that all county departments, including the schools, furnish to the commissioners at their first Monday in June meet ing a certified list of all bills and ac counts owed as of May 31. The data is sought in anticipation of the pre paration of the 1937 budget, it was said. The sheriff was authorized to de lav to the first Monday in June the advertisement of property for delin tuent taxes. It was the sense of the board that there would be no delay longer than that time. Taxes collected at the sheriff’s of fice in April amounted to $6,504.76, the report to the board showed. An additional $242.75 in fees was collect ed, and rebates of $31.54 were credit ed. A free peddler’s license was grant ed to S. H. Stokes, and one or two were allowed to list their taxes. The monthly report of W S. Strange, county jailor, made to the commissioners, showed 15 prisoners in the jail at the end of April, and a total of 450 jail days served by pri soners during the month Junior Choir At Baptist Service The First Baptist church has an nounced a program of particular in terest in connection with their mid week meeting Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock.

EX-COMfIED IN ABORTION CASE Young Warren County Woman Seriously 111 at Local Hospital Miss Mary Lee Fuller, young War ren county girl, has positively identi fied George Ayscue, ex-convict, as the man who performed an illegal opera tion upon her at the Carolina Apart ments, formerly Robert Henry Hotel, on Zone street during Saturday night, officers said today. The young woman was taken to Ma ria Parham hospital in a serious con dition, and there she told her father of her condition. He notified Sheriff J. E. Hamlett, and Ayscue was tak en into custody. He is confined to Vance County jail in default of a $5,- 000 bond set by Justice of the Peace J. S. Albright, who issued the war rant for Ayscue’s arrest. Sheriff Hamlett took Ayscue before the young woman yesterday in the hospital, where she positively identi fied the man. The name of the father of the pre mature child is known to officers, but he has not been taken into custody and Sheriff Hamlett declined to re veal his identity pending his arrest as an accessory to the operation. Miss Fuller lives in that section of Warren county near the Vance-Frank lin county line and near the Epsom community. Ayscue had served part of a three year term in the State Penitentiary for assault upon a young white girl in North Henderson. He was paroled about a year ago for* good behavior, and was said to have been a model parolee. Miss Fuller remains in a critical con dition at the hospitaj it was said today and officers expected to take the al leged father or the child into custody in the very near future. Sheriff Hamlett declared that Ays cue denied that he performed the ope ration. It was also stated that the body of the premature child was found before it could be destroyed. 55 ASSISTED FROM WELFARE SOURCES 18 in County Home and Seven in Sanatorium a tEnd of April Fifty-five persons were assisted from county welfare funds in April, Mrs E.

Ei REVALUATION; LISTING NEAR END Most of Rural Townships Have Finished Tax List ing for Year Revaluation of property for taxes in the quadrennial assessment task has been completed in Vance county, the Board of County Commissioners were told Monday at their regular monthly meeting for May. They also heard that most of the listing was finished, being entirely concluded in some of the rural townships. In Henderson township hundreds of names and pieces of property have been put on the books in the past week. With the passing of Saturday, the first day of May, there has been a noticeable slackening of property owners flocking to the court house to list their holdings. This is tak,cn to mean that most of the work has been finished. The law requires that listing be TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1937 done during the month of April and as of April 1 valuations.
