In the first primary, May 29, Johnson led Scott in the six candidate contest by about 8. 848 votes, but failed to receive a majority of the vote cast. Scott called for a second pri mary. And it probably was the first time in this county that a sec ond primary has brought out a bigger vote than a first. In the first primary Macon Democrats cast a total of 2,274 votes for the six running for the gubernatorial nomination. Last Saturday the total vote for Scott and Johnson was 2,486, a gain of 212., In last week's balloting, John son received a slightly higher proportion of the total vote here than he did four weeks earlier, but Scott carried a larger num ber of the county's precincts. In the first primary, Scott re ceived 1,256 votes, Johnson 953, and 65 went to the other four candidates. Last week, with 212 more votes cast, Scott's majority ever Johnson was 322, as com pared with a lead in the first primary of 303. But last week Scott carried all of the county's 12 precincts, with the exception of Highlands, which Johnson won by a vote of more than three to one, and Franklin. In the first primary, Johnson led Scott in Highlands, Nantahala No. 1, Burningtown, and Cowee. Franklin precinct, where Scott led a month ago by 47 votes, this time was in the Johnson column by a nine-vote margain. Macon was one of three coun ties in this end of the state to give Scott majorities in the second primary. The others are Jackson and Clay.

But the men who signed it had courage. ' They proved it. For, if their cause failed, they knew what lay ahead. A noose? or perhaps a firing squad. Deliberately they turned their backs on safety and security for the sake of an idea. They wrote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men | are created equal, that they are en dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these ' are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." With words like these, they wrote the ' birth certificate of a new nation? and they signed their names. ? * ? Today there's a signature missing at the bottom of that document. Yours. No, you can't just pick up your pen and I .. v write your name. It's not that simple. And it stilt takes courage. Courage enough to stand up for free dom in an ever-shrinking world that's far from free. Courage enough to fight prejudice and intolerance and injustice, wherever they exist. Courage enough to help prove that democracy really works. You can do it. Only you can do it. You're doing it every time you vote? every time you serve on a jury? every time you pay your taxes. You do it every time you accept your privileges and responsibilities as an American? every time you put your en dorsement on the principles that paper up there stands for. How do you endorse those principles? Not with ink, but with action. By doing something about them ? by doing the things listed at the right. That's the best way to put your name behind Freedom. WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT FIND OUT ELBCTION ISSUES At tend local political gatherings. Hear both fides. Ask questions. KNOW the issues. VOTB INTBLLIGBNTLY. No elec tion is unimportant. Vote in all of them . . . according to your consci ence. It's your government. SERVE GLADLY ON JURIES. If you haven't served before, you'll be surprised to find how interesting and important it it. JOIN LOCAL CIVIC GROUPS. Par ent-Teachers' Association or School Board, if opportunity permits. Good education is vital. VOTB IN UNION BLBCTIONS AND STOCKHOLDERS' MBBTINGS.Take part in the decisions that affect your life. Don't let someone else do it. t'j& Freedom is everybody's job! ? tjty .. ? ? - \ TU. ? ? ? - 7 v- Contributed in the public inter est b) THE FRANKLIN PRESS
