Sunday afternoon Patrolman B. K. Tucker and Constable James D. Richardson were searching for a Negro man who fled the scene of a motor vehicle accident earlier in Battery A Cuts Enlisted Strength Budget restrictions originating in Washington brought about a 7% reduction in enlisted strength of Battery A, 113th Field Artillery Battalion. The Zebulon National Guard unit was ordered to cut six men from its active enlisted rolls Tuesday. The six men were part of 145 ordered cut from North Carolina's 30th Infantry Division by the end of the fiscal year which ended June 30.

They were apparently unexpected guests, since Katie Mae was holding a large glass of “white” whiskey in her hand as they entered. Without batting an eye, Katie Mae turned up the glass and at tempted to swallow the evidence— but the evidence was too strong. She gagged about a third of the way through, and handed the glass to a girl standing next to her. The dumbfounded girl simply stood with the glass in her hand until the constable took it from her with about 6 ounces of evidence re maining. “If the flesh had been as willing as the spirit, I wouldn’t have any evidence,” Constable Richardson declared. “Katie Mae thought fast, but her body just wouldn’t obey her mind’s commands, and no wonder! That whiskey is the strongest I ever smelled.” The Negro woman will be tried on July 9 in the local recorder’s court on charges of possession of non-taxpaid whiskey and posses sion for purpose of sale.

In Little River Township Jordan received 283 votes to 179 for Ellis, getting 237 in Zebulon and 46 in Mitchell’s Mill. The surprisingly heavy ballot ing was in part the result of a bitter campaign, in which Ellis was depicted as a turncoat Demo crat who had failed to support the Democratic Party, and Jordan was attacked as being supported by Ne groes. Apparently the voters re sented the race issue being inject ed into the campaign; Jordan car ried virtually every precinct with ease. Former State Senator and Dem ocratic Chairman J. Wilbur Funn served as manager of the Jordan campaign. Backing Ellis were former State Senator James Poy ner and supporters of Governor Hodges including Highway Chair man J. Melville Broughton, Jr. On the local level considerable work was done by both Jordan and Ellis backers, with vehicles busy all day bringing voters to the polls.
