ERWIN And FRANCES McKUSICK Washington?It's been "great ;oing" at the Capitol for the >ast several days. The stupenlous six billion dollar 1942 sales ax has passed and received the resident's okay. That one little tem alone will dip well into the >ockets of all of us. Well, we'll all be in the pluto:ratic income tax class now?or ather, we are already there. Any ingle persons who earns the nagnificent sum of $10 a week will have to divvy up with Uncle Jam. And any married person vho makes mcrs than $750 and las no little ones must do likewise. But at that, most of us would rather pay into an Amercan ante now than be wiped out >y a Nazi blitz later. It's dealer's :hoice now, but if we don't pay ligh stakes today, there will be io choice at all tomorrow. There vill be just one dealer, and we'd lave to take what he gave us, vith no questions asked. Farmer Bob Doughton, the chairman cf the House Ways and Means Commit/tee which spent >o many tedious months framing ;he tax bill, was iubilant over the juick passage in the House of the conference committee report on ihe bill, uniy two dissenting jotes were recorded, and Mr. Doughton says that is a major victory for his committee. Over in the Senate, there has seen much confusion surrounding the drafting of the 18 and 19-year-old bo.ys. Back of this confusion, the issue of to drink >r not to drink seems as important as to draft or not to draft. Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma relieves no intoxicants should be >old within a military area. He offered an amendment to the iraft bill to that effect. But whether this issue is settled, Senators have started talking of prohibition again. In our state, Senator Josiah W. Bailey was expected to vote the dry amendment. Senator Bob Reynolds has always held that alcoholic beverages should not be too accessible to the soldier, but he accepted Secretary of War Stimson's request to vote against the amendment. * Because so many Tar Heels will be out of Washington on October 26?remember there's an election on November 3?the annual election meeting of the N. C. Democratic Club was postponed until Thursday night, November 12. As usual, the Queen Elizabeth Room of the Raleigh Hotel will be the scene of the event. * ? Senator Josiah William Bailey, up for reelection for a third term in the election next month urges "the people to go out and vote in great numbers." With so many away from home in the armed services and the gasoline shortage, the total vote is bound to be smaller than usual, he admitted. "Nevertheless, I believe the people will vote in pretty good numbers," he added. The senior Senator presented to the Senate resolutions of State Commissioner of Agriculture W. Kerr Scott and the State Board of Agriculture asking that some thing be done to alleviate the current farm labor shortage. * It takes more than a flood to keep old friends apart, especially if those friends are members of the great army of Tar Heels in the Nation's Capital. At the height of the recent rainy spell members of the North Carolina State Society joined in a jam session at Alice Deal Junior High School, located in Northwest Washington, not far from the Maryland line, but a long ways from the overflowing Potomac.

A pal of young Higdon, returning from Africa aboard a plane, brought the sixmonths old monkey, Jojo, and he was sent on to Webster for the durattion. This refugee of the war, besides being an interesting pet, more agile than a squirrel m | jumping about in the trees, is useful in ridding boxwoods and other shrubbery about the Higdon home of spiders, and in keeping the farm dogs free of fleas. He works industriously in the boxwoods, and the spiders are gone. Twice a week he removes the parisites from his canine friends. The over-all demand for farm products in 1943 will be ven more than in 1942, predicts the Depart of Agriculture. S EDIl ourtM $1.50 A TEAR.

S. Forest Service, announces that free hunting of hogs will be allowed in the Fires Creek Wildlife Management Area between daylight and dark of each day over the period of November 9 to November 14, 1942, inclusive. Hunters desiring to participate should report to the checking station at the Protector's cabin at the mouth of Fires Creek or at the Bristol Cabin on the dates specified as open to hunting. Applicants will be required to have valid North Carolina hunting licenses in their possession. Hunters will be required to report to checking stations morning and night. Overnight camping will be allowed on the area only at checking stations. The use of 22 calibre firearms will be barred. Dogs will be allowed to assist in the hunting. The number of hogs to be removed by an individual will be unrestricted. The cooperating agencies permitting the hunt waive all responsibility for the determination of the ownership of the hogs within the area, or to damage suffered to the persons or property of the hunters participating. I- '- ? / ' noN VANCE IN JACKSON COUNT* ection For ^AHinfl7 Witt TT 1X1 xt Tuesday Jackson county voters will cast their ballots next Tuesday for a [Jniteci States Senator, a Congressman, two State Senators, a representative in the General Assembly, and a long list of State officers, and the county officers, in an election year in which very little has been said in the newspapers or elsewhere about the election. However, acute observers are of the opinio that, while the people have not had the election on their minds, being concentrating upon scrap drives and other activities in connection with the war, and in watching the developments in the battle areas, they hfve not forgotten one of tne primpry privileges and duties of the electorate, to go to the polls and vote, and that when next Tuesday comes, they will go quietly to the election grounds and cast their ballots. There is little ground for belief that there will be any upset in the general trend of elections in North Carolina. The present Congressman, Zebulon Weaver, veteran of the House of Representatives, who has served there during the two World Wars and in all the time between, except for a two year term, is opposed by Gola p. Ferguson on the Republican ticket. This year for the first time, the Senatorial District will have two State Senators, Mrs. E. L. "t McKee and J. T. Bailey are the Democratic candidates. In this eountv. W. V. Hennessee, Repub lican, is opposing Mrs. McKee. For Representative, Dan Tompkins, Democrat, and S. C. Cogdill, Republican, are opposing candidates. For Sheriff, Leonard Holden i3 opposed by Ed Bumgarner, Republican. Roy M. Cowan, Clerk Superior Court, is opposed by Finley Arrington, Republican. Glenn Hughes, the present Register of Deeds is opposed by Bennie Reece, Republican. T. Walter Ashe, the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and Commissioner of Finance, is opposed by Charles W. Hensley, Republican. The Democratic candidates for county commissioners are, Ed Fisher, Sylva, and J. C. Passmore, Cashier's Valley. The Republican candidates are A. C. Wilson and W. H. Snyder. C. W. Dills, the present coroner, is opposed by Ode Robinson. A. E. Brown, candidate for county surveyor on tne Democratic ticket is opposed by 8. M. Parker. A great many requests or applications for ballots have been received toy the Board of\Elections from men in the aVmed forces, and every one of them has been given the opportunity to vote at his home, whenever it has been possible, the board reports. Some of them are so far away that it was impossible to reach them with ballots; but the majority of Jackson men in the armed forces are still in the United States or in nearby posessions, and most of them have requested ballots according to law, and will vote next Tuesday. The forecasts are that the election will be a quiet one with each voter going to the polls and registering his choice for officers with little ado about it. There has not been a single campaign speech made in this county during the days preceding the election. REGISTRATION POSTPONED The local rationing board has announced that the registration of dealers in kerosene oil and fuel oil has been postponed until proper forms are received for the purpose. Announcement will be made later as' to when the registration will be held. A ' " a J \.;KV s'M
