bin ridT CROSS Join CROSS ""a PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL INDEPENDENT VOL. XLIX, NO. 45 FRANKLIN, N. C, THURSDAY, NOV. 8, 1034 $150 PER YEAR COUNTY DEMOCRATS CARRY ROLL CALL TO START SUNDAY Plans for Annual Red Cross Campaign Dis cussed By Workers Plans for the annual roll call for memberships in the American Red Cross are rapidly being com pleted under ' the direction of the Rev, J. A. Flanagan, chairman of the roll call drive, in the Macon county chapter. The roll call this year will be held November 11 through November 29. The hope of the Red Cross workers is to reach every section of the county in this canvass. Memberships in Red Cross are divided into four groups: Annual, $1; contributing, $5; sustaining, $10; and life, $50. Out of each mem bership payment 50 cents is sent to national Red Cross and the bal ance used for work in the local chapter. This means that for each annual membership of $1, 50 cents is sent to headquarters and 50 cents is used in local work; and for each contributing membership, 50 cents goes to national work and $4.50 stays in the local treas ury for work in Macon county. Arrangement has also" been made whereby those who feel that they cannot pay the $1 membership, but wish to become members of Red Cross, may do so by paying 50 cents in cash and 50 cents worth of material or provisions that can be used b the local chapter in its work in the county. Highlands Chairman This year the Rev. C. R. Mc Carty, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Highlands, will have charge of the roll call in the High lands township. He will be as sisted in the drive there by a number of workers from Highlands. A special ArmiBtioe Day service has been arranged for Sunday evening in the Highlands school auditorium, in which the work of the American Red Cross will be presented. Mrs. Gordon Moore, of Franklin, has been selected to take charge of the promotion of the Junior Red Cross in the schools of the county. More than seven million school children are already members of Junior Red Cross, making it the largest and perhaps most vital of any organization for juveniles in this country. The officers of the local Red Cross Chapter hope to projnote this work in every school in the county. Worker. Meet A special "pep" supper for the roll call workers was held in the Rotary Hall, Franklin, Thursday evening, with J. E. Lancaster, chairman of the local chapter, pre siding. Various phases of the work of the American Red Cross were presented, plans for the member ship drive outlined, workers in structed in the various phases of their work and inspirational ad dresses made. Supper was served by the ladies of the local Pres byterian church. "Another call for volunteers is being made," said Mr. Flanagan, chairman of the Roll Call. "The membership books are being open ed for Annual Roll Call. Every person in Macon County is in vited to become a member of American Red Cross. I hope that every loyal citizen of Macon coun ty will join, and wear the mem bership button of Red Cross. Every available help is needed to meet the emergencies of today." Critically 111 C. S. Brown Is Reported Jn Extremis C. S. Brown, proprietor of the Scott Griffin Hotel, who entered an Augusta, Ga., hospital about ten days ago for treatment, was reported this week to be in a critical condition with little hope of recovery. Mrs. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. C S., Brown, Jr., left Monday to be with Mr. Brown. Doctors said lie Was suffering from a serious heart malady. Mr. Brown apparently was in good health until a few weeks ago, when he developed a bad cold. His condition was .not thought serious, . however, until he entered the hospital and do -tors found he was suffering from heart disease. SISK SUCCEEDS RAY ASMAYOR W. B. McGuire Chosen To Fill Vacancy on Town' Council The town council met in a called session Thursday and elected R. D. Sisk, a member of the council, as mayor to succeed J. Frank Ray, who resigned Monday, one day be fore the election in which he was the Democratic candidate for rep resentative of Macon county in the legislature. The council also voted to appoint W. B. McGuire as a member of the board to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Sisk's elevation to the .mayoralty. In resigning Monday Mr. Ray acted on the advice of Attorney General Dennis G. Brummit, who ruled that it would be illegal for him to hold both the office of may or and that of representative at the same time and that unless he resigned from the former position before the election he might dis qualify himself for the new office he ","Tht. Mr. Ray was elected mayor in May, 1933, in a non-partisan elec tion. He succeeded George B. Pat ton, who was not a candidate for reelection.

I know something of the work that has been done by this great organization in meeting the needs of our people through the year in an ef ficient way an with an ever ready response. The organization's program is so flexible that it meets emergencies and disasters of all kinds; it has also a permanent structure that is being built up year by year to study means through which disasters and epidemics may be prevented. Our community needs the permanent structure of the Red Cross to meet whatever emergencies the coming year may bring to us. I, therefore, call upon former members of the Red Cross to renew their memberships during the roll call this year, and urge those who never be fore have been members to enroll their names with those who are fighting disease and disaster and need under the banner of the American Red Cross. (Signed) R. D. SISK, Mayor of Franklin.

The voting . was even heavier than in the general election two years ago. Slightly more than 6,000 ballots were cast, about 500 more than in the 1932 election. While the Democratic majorities were decisive, ranging from 344 to 637 on the county ticket, they were not as large, however, as in the Roosevelt landslide. Leaders in the party attributed this to some factional differences which develop ed in the party after last spring's primary. In the sheriff's race, which has attracted much interest for several months, Sheriff A B. Slagle, the Democratic candidate for reelection polled 3,291 votes to 2,764 for J. W. Hastings, Republican candidate. In the clerk of court race, also hotly contested, Harley R. Cabe, the Democratic candidate, won over George Dean, Republican, with a majority of 428. Bryson Loads Ticket C. Tom Bryson, Democratic can didate for reelection as register of deeds, receved the largest majority, winning by 637 votes over W. G. Crawford. J. Frank Ray, Demo crat, was elected representative by a majority of 619 over J. L. San ders, while in the senatorial race Vance A. Browning, of Bryson City, carried this county with a majority of 629 over his Republic an opponent, Clyde A. Jarrett, of Andrews. Mr. Browning was elect ed in the district as a whole by a majority estimated at more than 1,700. He carried every county in the district with the possible ex ception of Cherokee, from which official returns "had not been heard Thursday night. One of the closest contests was in the election of chairman of the county board of commissioners. E. B. Byrd, Democratic candidate, won by a majority of 397 over John E. Rickman, former Franklin post master. Frank H. Potts, of High lands, and Charles L. Blaine, were elected to membership on the board over theif Republican opponents, C. W. Henderson and Craig Steppe, respectively, by majorities of 408 and 484. On the state ticket the Demo cratic candidates carried the coun ty by majorities ranging in the neighborhood of 525. Walter P. Stacy, Michael Schenck and Heriot Clarkson were reelected by the state as a whole to the supreme court. Charles M. Johnson was reelected state treasurer and Stan ley Winborne for utilities com missioner. Judge Felix E. Alley and Solicitor John M. Queen were reelected in this judicial district without opposition. The election was orderly and no challenges were made when the vote was canvassed by the county board of elections Thursday. Tues day night a few arrests were made for drunkenness. ' J. W. Hastings, the opublican candidate for sheriff, asked The Press-Maconian to "tell tfl that I appreciate the suppckxshey gave me and other than tnait I've got nothing to say." Official returns on the election, showing how each township voted for county offices, will be found in tabular form on this page. The successful candidates will be sworn in office the first Monday in December.
