Kane of Roxboro, answering pub lished reports that Rep. John H. Folger had charged him with intim idating personnel of the Highway Commission in an effort to get them to vote for Thurmond Chatham, declared Tuesday that Folger’s statement “is a damned lie”. Mr. Kane and another Commis sioner. Raymond Smith of Mt. Airy, were accused this week by Folger oi having used “every means passible to compel votes for Thurmond Chat ham and against me.” Folger said he had “definite and reliable in formation” to support the charge. The statement by Mr. Kane, who was appointed Highway Commis sioner by Governor Broughton in 1941 and was reappointed by Gov ernor Cherry in 1945, follows: “The statement by John Folger published in newspapers on the morning of June 4 in reference to charges that I used my office as Highway Commissioner to compel votes for Thurmond Chatham in the Fifth congressional primary voting is a damned lie. “I am very glad, however/to state that I voted for Thurmond Chatham, as I think he is much better fitted to represent the Fifth District than the present incumbent. “Any statement that has been made in regard to me influencing highway .employees to vote for Mr. Chatham is an unmitigated false hood, and John Folger is well aware of this fact.” In Washington Wednesday, Folger was quoted as follows: J.

The legislative committee was al so authorized to investigate getting a game warden in the County.

Tlie petition calling for a refer endum on ABC stores began circu lating in Roxboro late last week. Some 400 signatures—or 15 per cent of the number of persons who voted in the l ast gubernatorial election — are required to make the petition effective. Should that many names be obtained, the County Board of Elections, would be compelled to call a referendum. A vote on whiskey cannot be held within 60 days of a regular election Since there will be a second pri mary on June 22 in the Fifth dis trict Congressional race, and since general elections will be held next November 5, the referendum, if held this summer, could only take place on a date between August 22 and September 5.
