GARNER RAY T. MOORE HARRISON DINKINS D. A. SMITHERMAN (Each commissioner is voted on only in his district.) It is said that Frank Woodhouse has promised, again, to build all the roads he promised to build two years ago and added several to them. In fact he is about to ru out of roads to promise. As election draws nearer the Yadkin Democrats ^promise more and more to build the colored folks a school in the county. That promise will probably be remem bered by the colored folks and they also remember what they got. The Hatch Law The Hatch law recently passed by congress seems to really be a • law. News comes from many sections of the country where the teeth of the act is being clamped down on Hatch act violators and the teeth are sharp according to advices received by way of the daily newspapers. The act was passed to prevent all persons employed by the gov ernment or an persons whose sal ary is partly paid by the govern ment from engaging in politics or political activity in any manner whatever at any time. The act, as it would apply to Yadkin county, means that the following persons cannot take any part in political activity in the coming election: The county game warden; all members of the county agent’s office; all mem bers of the Tri-Creek Soil office; all state highway employees; all post office employees; all WPA or PWA workers; all N. Y. A. em ployees; and all other persons whose salary in all or part comes from the government. This by no means prohibits them from voting, but prevents all other activities, such as work ing at the polls, hauling voters, etc. Solicitor Avalon E. Hall has served public notice on all per sons that no crooked actions by election officials will be tolerated in Yadkin county or in any coun ty in his district. Mr. Hall suc cessfully prosecuted two cases of violation of election laws last year and he states he will do the same thing again if any party violates these laws. “Smearing” Attempt On Mr. Crater The attempt to smear the Yad kin county court clerk, Mr. J. L. Crater, by the board of county commissioners, was one of the most absurd atrocities these Democrats and their henchmen have tried since coming into of fice nearly two years ago. According to well informed men the clerk had a fair trade with the commissioners as to his fees. Many reliable people heard the agreement when the county court was set up. Those ac quainted with Mr. Crater’s work know that he is not short and the county commissioners and their advisors know it. It was agreed in a meeting October 16, which I heard my self, that any difference in Mr. Crater’s accounts were errors. After this they passed a resolu tion and set off to get it all in the Winston-Salem Journal which had been informed ahead it was coming. It’s a sorry piece of business! and it also comes with poor grace for the Journal to play it up af ter they had as many thefts and scandals in Forsyth county in the past few years, involving thou sands of dollars, when the great est amount in Yadkin was said to be a difference of $461.00. The difference is actually $29.00. Mr. Lee Crater has been reg ister of deeds and Clerk of Court for 42 years and is known by j practically every grown person in ! Yadkin county. Everyone of them know him to be strictly honest in every detail and they know that any discrepancy is due to errors. The auditor checked his bank account and found he had plenty of money to meet all obligations. But that did not satisfy the “tear down” party in Yadkin who have tried Hitler methods on all who differed with them. To prove this there was nothing whatever to gain by “smearing” Mr. Cra ter if they had been successful. He is not running for office and announced that he never would run again. When the God of politics reaches out to destroy such men as Lee Crater, whose honesty of purpose and whose character has never been besmirched in a long life of public usefulness, it is time the citizens took a hand looking toward elimination of those re sponsible for its workings. Sheriff Reavis Praises Norman _ (Editor The Ripple: J I would like to lend my hearty i endorsement to the Republican candidate for the House of Rep resentatives, Mr. Hovey Norman. I have known Mr. Norman and his family for many years and I know them to be among the best people of the county. They believe in their church, their Sunday school and their schools. Mr. Norman was a deputy sheriff under me when I was Sheriff of Yadkin county and I had every chance to observe him in his work. I found him to be absolutely honest and concientious in his work with his fellow man and always willing to go out of his way to help others. He is fully capable of represent ing the county and its people and I am sure will do all in his power for the best interests of the people back home during his stay in Raleigh. I am sure his policy will be to build up instead of tear down. I reccomend him to the voters of Yadkin county and hope my (friends will double their efforts in his behalf. Yours very truly, C. G. REAVIS i Yadkinville, N. C., October 22, 1940. -- Bill Moxley Writes of Mr. Mathis |Editor The Ripple: In your issue of last week I noticed an article signed by Mr. and Mrs. Roby Casstevens of Jonesville regarding Mr. Charlie | G. Mathis for County Commis sioner for the Boonville—North Knobs district. I was glad to see this endorse ment of Mr. Mathis, because I know Mr. Mathis and know him to be a capable man for the place. I also agree with the writers that their section should have the man as Boonwille has had a Commis sioner for the past eight years, and I know the people of this sec tion are liberal minded enough to agree with them also in this respect. The election of Mr. Mathis on the Board of County Commis sioners would give the Jonesville and Knobs section of the county a voice in the county government they have not had for several years and which they are entitled to because they are regular tax payers and entitled to a voice in the affairs of the county. Mr. Mathis will give them that voice and will make them a good man because he is a successful business man and I am sure will handle the county affairs in the same good business manner he has handled his own. I am glad to endorse him, along with Mr. and Mrs. Casstevens,- and hundreds of others whom I know will gladly vote for Mr. Mathis. Signed, BILL MOXLEY Boonville, N. C., October 23, 1940.

Phone 12-M Yadklnyfflf THROUGH KEYHOLE By BILL RUTLEDGE Sports: The late World Series baseball games brought before the minds of many Yadkin coun ty sport fans the time when Eamie Shore, Yadkin native, pitched for the New York Yankees in a World Series game years ago before he got to be the Sheriff of Forsyth county. Eamie started with the Boston Red Sox on his baseball career, and he was quite a pitcher in his day. Ernie was pitching for the Yankees against a team whose name escapes us at the moment —six games had been played out of seven, and it was the seventh game; the score was tied in the 10th inning, with 2 men out; the man at the bat had 2 strikes against him, and the next ball meant either win or lose for the Yankees. He pitched, and the bat and ball connected. The short stop made a jab for the ball—and muffed it! It was not until much later that it was ruled that the man was out. Anyway, it was a great day for Yadkin county. Prophecy: And while we’re speaking of sports, we might add for those who might be wonder ing about it, that Tennessee and the University of Washington will play in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1941. ♦ * * Fair Week: The Yadkin Coun ty Fair came and went last week with a bigger than usual list of attractions and concessions and with a better than ever attend ance. The free grandstand act was said to be better than ever presented. The midway was crowded to capacity Friday night, but attendance fell slightly on , the last night of the fair. It was | not known whether this was caused by the cold weather or by the fact that the Sheriff’s office closed the girly-girly show after Friday. Religious Note: It is not our in tention to speak against preach ing, but it is getting so that one cannot clear up the week’s work on Saturday’s here because of the sound trucks and loud speaker systems cruising the streets, al ternately playing hillbilly records and delivering sermons. Visitor: We were very pleased to have Oliver Crawley, genial reporter, columnist, and adver tising man for the Mount Airy News, drop by the office Satur day afternoon on his way to Statesville. Oliver has done much newspaper writing for various North Carolina dailies and week lies, and his column, “An Ear to the Rock,” is topped only by a column which appears regularly in the Yadkin Ripple. (Joke.) Auto Racing: Yadkin county did not receive its due publicity Sunday at the opening of the mile-long High Point Speedway when the three Baity brothers of Yadkinville, owners of the huge speedway and grandstand, were announced over the loud speaker hookup as being from High Point by Ira Vail, racing director. How ever, we forgive Mr. Vail, as he gave us tickets gratis for the opening Sunday afternoon. The owners estimated that there were well over ten thousand people there, and we believe them, as we could not find our car for a full half-hour after the races were over. The fastest cars made speeds of over ninety miles an hour in the afternoon races. * * * ^ Politics: Sheriff A. L. Inscore made a short talk before a Yad kin County Republican rally and weiner roast one night last week. “A certain Yadkin county politi cian, Frank Woodhouse, used to run an Auto Wrecking garage in Winston-Salem,” the Sheriff said. “His slogan was ‘You Wreck ’Em —We Fix ’Em.’ Several months ago this man was elected Repre sentative for Yadkin county and sent to Raleigh.

C. October 21, 1940 Mr. W. E. Rutledge Yadkinville, N. C. Dear Mr. Rutledge: In an article appearing in the September 26th issue of the Yad kin Ripple under the heading “East Bend Democrats Mad” you stated that “As a result of the rift caused over the matter and the threatened revolt of numbers of leading Democrats, Eugene Shore, nominee for County Com missioner in that district with drew from the race.” Where did you get your information that I withdrew as a result of the rift of the Democrat Party? I have never at any time want ed to be a candidate for County Commissioner and only consent ed to have my name filed on ac count of party loyalty. When I heard that Charlie Hutchens would accept the nomination I immediately advised mjl friends in the Democrat Party that I would withdraw in order that he might be a candidate for County Commissioner in the East Bend Fall Creek district. I want it un derstood now that I am a Demo crat and am behind Charlie Hutchens 100%, and so far as I know, all Democrats in this dis trict and a large number of Re publicans will support him in the November election and he will be elected by the people in my dis trict. I hereby request that you pub lish this letter in the next issue of the Yadkin Ripple to be pub lished October 24 in order that the voters of East Bend-Fall Creek Townships might know the truth about my withdrawal and not be misled by the article ap pearing in your paper under date of September 26th. Very truly yours, J. E. SHORE <For Mr. Shore's benefit The | Ripple states that this informa tion came to us from members of the Democratic party whom we consider reliable. The Ripple was also informed by reliable sources that after the death of Dr. T. W. Shore, then Chairman, that Eu gene Shore decided he would have nothing further to do with the set-up in the county and re signed.—Editor.)
