Martin in "Minstrel Man of the Appalachians" in the May 22 Saturday Evening Post.

As a folklore scholar, Bascom is offended by the synthetic hillbillies who wear cowboy hats and go in for whooping, cow bell-ringing music played on electric guitars, Mr. Martin says. An accident probably prevent ed Mr. Lunsford from becoming ?a mountain troubadour in the manner of Burl Ives and Roy Acoff, according to the Post article. He made 10 recordings of his mountain songs in a room in the George Vanderbilt hotel in Asheville, shortly after the first World War.

Campaign Promises ? The opposition says, "I am in favor of cutting taxes, increasing school teacher'^ salary by fifty per cent, doubling old age pensions," in favor of a s thousand items that cost millions of dollars, but he is still going to cut taxes. He does not give the voter credit for any intelligence. Everyone knows that no man can keep those promises and cut taxes. SCOTT SAYS : "THE TAXPAYER SHOULD RECEIVE BETTER SERVICE FOR THE DOLLAR THAT HE IS PAY ING." 2. "MUD SLINGING"? Kerr Scott had the books examined of our state treasurer as of March 1st. What did he find? Scott found that our state treasurer, Charles M. John son, had farmed out one hundred and seven ty-one million dollars of surplus money to two hundred banks in North Carolina in- , terest free. Good business for the banks, poor business for the state. SCOTT SAYS THAT THIS SURPLUS MONEY COULD BE MAKING NORTH CAROLINA A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IF IT WAS INVESTED BY THE STATE. The opposition call this "mud slinging." 3. Compare the candidates man for man, issue by issue. The public is entitled to light, not heat : the public is entitled to information.
