'Representative F. Ertel Carlyle

for"his -c"a{ in Congress.
Vises» were the major develop

?3l interest, in Saturday's Dem
ocratic primary.
Ur;\<:e ΰ scored a 25,000-vote

con:e from behind to take a nar
row &J--vote lead over his chal
lenger Tally.
Cu'-'.y 1«'. however, failed to get
a ir.3j:> · since Ernest R. May
han of Wilmington got close to
2.000 votes.
Even with a victory over Tally
Ü» Faye:teville and its environs,
CarlyU had to roll up a vote of
7,047 :n Robeson to only 2,463
votes *ίγ Tally to finish ahead in!
the district.
The vote by counties in the
Congressional race was as fol
lows
Bladen — Tally. 1835; Carlyle,'
1671: Mayhan. 72.
Brunswick—Tally; 1282; Carlyle,
1056; Mayhan. 127.
Columbus—Tally, 3813; Carlyle,

Carlyle. 3851; Mayhan, 1180.
Robeson—Tally, 2463; Carlyle,
7047: Mayhan. 143.
Whether Tally will call for a
second primary was still undeter
mined this morning. His chief
encouragement for another try
comes from his victory march in
five of the seven counties in the
Jtstrict. The most severe blow
» his chances comes from his
failure to carry his home county
of Cumberland.
A possible second primary in
tie race for lieutenant governor
developed when Luther Hodges
of Leaks vi lie failed to gain a
clear - cut majority in the state.

With two exhibition game vic
tories over a strong Marion, S. C.
team already under their belt,
the Columbus County American
Legion baseball team will open
the regular season's play against
Warsaw at Civitan field here Fri
day night at 8:00.
Coach Bill Ratteree has assem
bled one of the strongest teams
that Columbus county has had in
several years and it is expected to
be one of the favorites in Area 2
this season. In the past three
years, at least two legion teams
have been fielded in Columbus
County and last year three teams
were entered from 'Columbus.
However, this season due to the
inability of the various posts to
secure ball players, only one team
has been entered in the league.
This one team is composed of
players from Whiteville, Tabor
City, Chadbourn, Fair Bluff,
Acme-Delco, Elizabethtown, Tar
Heel and Lumberton. The one
team in the county is expected to
put the Columbus aggregation in
a position to compete with other
teams in the league for the first
time in several yean.
No other county in the league
has had more than one team for
many years. Other counties enter
ing the Area 2 competition this
season are Laurinburg, Kinston,
Warsaw and Wilmington.
This marks Warsaw's first entry
into the league and little is known
of the strength of the Friday night
visitors. However, a good game is
expected to be offered spectators
in this opening encounter of tine
1952 season.
Although no definite decision
has been made, it was expected
that Coach Ratteree would start
Jimmy Jernigan on the mound
Friday night. Jernigan was the ace
hurler of the local high school
team and has indicated his talents
are among the best in the pitch
ing corps on the county legion
squad.
Joe Gore, of Williams township,
is expected to handle the catching
assignment although Rudy Horton
of Whiteville has shown up well in
this department thus far.
John Goins, of Lumberton, a 15
year old with a great deal of
promise, is expected to hold down
first base. Weyland Stanley, of
Whiteville, has the second base
job, Billy Small, of Fair Bluff, has
first call at shortstop and Ε. V.
Lehto, of Elizabethtown, and Ern
est Ward of Whiteville, are ex
pected to see action at third base.
The outfield will show Worth
Bernhardt of Acme-Delco, in left
field, Dickie Lewis, of Whiteville,
-in right field, and David Walters,
of Whiteville, in centerfield. Wai
ters is also a pitcher but is expect
ed to play centerfield when not
on the mound.
Other pitchers include Billy
Collier, of Whiteville, and Carlisle
Davis, of Tar Heel.
Utility men on the squad are
Sam Waiden and Dale Thompkins,
of Tabor City, Buck Jolly of Chad
bourn, Mike Finnegan, of Fair
mont, and Tom Brisson, of Tar
Heel
BULLETIN
Chart es of fraud and corruption
in the Democratic primary hot
Saturday in the Cerro Gordo pre
cinct were heard by the Colum

Whlteville Tuesday. Person· ap

ious heard by the board of elec
tions.

hearing of these grievances would
be held in Whlteville this morn
ing Wednesday. What action the
board will take is not known but
Chairman Elmo Powell said Tues

"We are directly responsible to
the State Board of Elections and
I suggest we call Mr. Maxwell
whose advice I am sure our
board will be guided by."
A complete and ver batum re
cord of the testimony given by
witnesses before the board is in
