ELECTION RESULTS
' While the Republicans in this county are, more
or less, biding their time until the Fall election, the
Democrats have been waging a long and torrid cam
paign for nominations of candidates in Saturday s
primary election.
A "heavy" turnout of voters is expected through
out the 23 precincts come Saturday. This newspa
per will again have an election board on Lower
Bridge Street, weather permitting, in an effort to
let the public know the results of the election, m
case of rain, the board will probably be in the court
room or on the courthouse porch. The success or
failure in receiving the results lies squarely on the
shoulders of precinct officials. It is hoped that they
will cooperate to the fullest in bringing in the re
sults as quickly as possible. .
In past elections, the response has been fine in
some cases and very poor in other cases. The public
has a right to know how "the election went" and we
ask for full cooperation.
This board is prepared at considerable expense
and effort as a public service and although the re
turns are "unofficial," nevertheless it shows who has
won and who has lost.

" T r ' IMPORTANT ISSUE V
Voters of Madison County will have the oppor
tunity at Saturday's Primary to approve or reject
- plans for the establishment of a new -tax and com- ,
1 mission for Madison County, v, . . ' , , i
. ? In short, voters will decide on whether or not a
tax levy of five cents per $100 valuation will be as
sumed to be used to develop an expanded and' di
versified economy in Madison County ;, for the at
traction, encouragement and expansion of agricul
tural, commercial and industrial, enterprises -and of"
venture capital and any and all costs or expenses reH
lated to the broad development purposes, such as
professional planning assistance, resource, labor, lo
. cation, land use, industrial and other surveys, and
advertising. (Writeup elsewhere in this issue.)
' The original members of the commission (five
Democrats and five Republicans) will ; serve untij
. April 1, 1965. Monies from this industrial tax are
accumulative and the spending of the tax money will
rest "with the bi-partisan commission.
Madison County has long needed some kind of
, system where accumulative monies could be avail
able for the inducement of industry. This seems to
be a practical and fair method since every taxpayer
- will share in the benefits of added industry. Our
county has long been "starved" for ways to increase
per capita, income. If properly ; administered, thisi :.
' new tax could well be a means for higher income
' and more employment 'in our county '"fBvr-ri
' ( ' The intent of the measure which was approved
by the last term of the State Legislature and Senate, r,t t
is to set up this bi-partisan 'commission for the gen- -X
eral welfare and development of our county. ,
. ' Elsewhere ill this issue can be found various or
ganizations and groups which have come out favor
ing its passage. . ' 1 " --v
1 Recency, individuals were contacted to donate
toward the purchase of an industrial site in Marshall. -,
This, indeed, works a hardship on a few progressive
citizens who have faith in the future and realize the :
need for efforts to secure industry. The new tax
would divide the burden among the citizens who vr
will, after all, benefit from its results. If .this mea-
sure passes, it is possible that the recently-purchased
site can be graded and developed, ready for indus
try There may be many other such developments
in the county if sufficient money is available. , . ,
We wholeheartedly favor its passage and intend t
to vote "Yes" this Saturday. '

area chairmen.
June Dairy Month is a nation
wide promotion program to call
attention to the . importance of
the dairy industry ; and to joint
out the contribution of dairy pro
ducts to the nation's health.
According to Palmer, who is one
of Western North Carolina's lead
ing dairy farmers,. "Dairying is the
greatest single source of farm in
come in America. One out of ev
ery five dollars in cash receipts
from farm products is a dairy dol
lar.' Dairying also ranks high in
the Western North Carolina coun
ties. Local dairy farmers; pro
duced over 70 million quarts of
milk last year, which was i re

investment in the state's dairy in

state's milk plants provide a live
lihood for 6,000 employees , and
their families. .
The dairy industry is essen
tial," state Hofler and Mrs. Carr,
"because milk is nature's favorite.
