Oscar Hicks, the road overseer on the Burningtown road is putting that part of the road in fine shape.

On being asked why he did not start, his car forward, he said h didn't have time to th'nk. The Nantahala (A'quone) bridge i in a very bad state of affairs and we I cannot see why those that have charge of the roads and bridges do not put forth some effort to repair i this bridge. It certa'nly is not' safe .for even a ground hog to run over, let alone people who daily have to travel with heavy loads. Some day ; there will be a tragedy and then who will be to blame? It is not safe to put it off a day. Commissioners, Trustees what are you going to do about it? It seems that ground hogs are about to gobble up the beans at Scroll, but the cut worms are' getting in some powerful' licks here at Kyle.

Walter Moore m Gaining in Race For Judgeship Friends of Walter Moore, candidate for the nomination for the puugeship from this district, were in the city Thursday and appeared optimistic over the prospects of a good vote for Mr. Moore. They reported having received some late favorable, informa tion from practically every county in the district and expressed the opinion that, Moore would receive a nice plurality west of Balsam Gap, while it was believed he would receive the endorsement of a great number of Haywood's premier leaders. Mr.. Moore's supporters are point ing to his record as speaker of the House of Representatives in which capacity he brought honor, to this section of the State and to himself as well. They also recall his admin istration as Grand Master and state that in that capacity he conducted th affairs of the Order so that it reflected upon the Order and resulted in the common good for the State. As educator he has received signal recognition and the largest building at Cullowhee has been named in his honor. He has fought for better ad vantages for the youth of his section and State all his life. Pointing to his" qualifications, his friends state he is a polished citizen thoroughly famliar with the law and capable of administering the .affair? of the court in a business Mike man ner at all times guaranteeing justice to all parties before the court. Mr. Moore is conducting his cam paign in a high class and honorable manner and has made no attack oh the other gentlemen in the race. He is reported to have stated that he has found his friends more active during the past few days and is daily receiv ing letters from prominent citizens1 on both sides of the Gap, pledging their suppirt and offering their serv ices in behalf of his candidacy from now on. These additional workers are believed fully capable of securing several hundred more suooorters when the record and qualifications of Mr. Moore are explained to the think ing citizenship of this district. Upon the country's system of juris prudence and the thoroughness and fairness of its administration is said to depend the safety of the State and Nation. Mr. Moore is admittedly ex ceedingly well qualified for the judge. ship and should he receive the nomi nation it is. certain he1 will feel a deep sense of gratitude to every man and woman voting confidence in him.
