Focus of all the interest wis naturally the county coirt house. People stood in clusters about the steps and upon the sidewalk all da Just waiting for nothing In particular. The green-painted benches before the courthouse held a capacity seating all the afternoon. The hall inside was lined with men leaning against the walls, quietly watching the procession of vot ers. Probably the calmest, quiet est place in town was the voting room of the courthouse. Last Rites For Sgt. Moore Held Thursday Last rites were held Thursday afternoon at Crawford Memorial Park for Staff Sergeant Kenneth H Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Moore, of Hazelwood. who died in a hospital in France in Jul 1944 Rev.

C. shows that there Is only one vote difference in the unofficial totals cast for the six candidates for governor, and the three candidates for house of representatives. Mayne 'Albright, third man in the governor's race in the state, took second place here In Haywood, while Kerr Scott the second man in the state totals, was third in Hay wood. Voting was steady throughout the day, with pre-noon rains keep ing a lot of voters at home. Many farmers took advantage of the rains to set out tobacco plants. Tha Bri returns were from Cata- i.h with 7 votes. This came i- jiii.ina (ho lattpr Dart of the III UUiii'6 - . , afternoon, and by eight o clock the first of the other 21 precincts start ed rolling in, and by 10:30 all the precincts had reported except two in Canton. The staff of The Mountaineer tabulated the results at the court house, and these were in turn broadcast over WHOC, together with state returns. The station re mained on the air until one o'clock. BOARD TO TABULATE RESULTS HERE TOWAV The Haywood Board of Elections were busy yesterday tabulating the hoDe to complete the task some time today. Most of the returns as eathered by The Moun- tsineer Saturday night were from the official tabulation sheets of election officials. Tli. Himnrul hnard is composed of Jerry Rogers, chairman, Claude Williams and J. A. Singleton. W. B. HODGES WINS IN SENATE RACE William B. Hodges, Henderson- ville banker, was nominated over v tnr Rector, teacher, for the state senate post in this district. Mr. Hodges is a former state sena tor, and is one of the two nominees for this district. The other nomi nee comes from Jackson county this year MRS. E. L. McKEE HAS A SLIGHT LEAD IN JACKSON The Mountaineer learned late Monday that the exact results of the State Senator's race in Jackson county would not be known until about ten o'clock today, when the board checks the returns. Mrs E L. McK.ee, former state senator, was leading in the unofficial re turns by seven votes over Mr. Crawf ,- . d, of Cullowhee.

Bridges first attempt at being a disc jockey was well, indescribable. When it came time to .sign off the station at 1 o'clock with the national anthem, be couldn't get the record turn table to work. He finished with a curt, "Good night." A congres sional investigation is expected. Of The It wasn't exactly ladies' day around the courthouse. The fair er sex voted in a sizable crowd, but they didn't stand around and gab like the men-folk. And we were always told that women talked more than men. Another theory shot to pieces. HAYWOOD BUILDERS SUPPLY CO. Tuesday, June 1st, 1948 Chief topics of conversation were crops, the election, neighbors, the price of cars, food and liquor, the election, the weather and the election. ! Offering A temperamental bunch of rain clouds which kept sneaking over the town to let loose a tor rent every few minutes had ev eryone apprehensive. The court house benches and steps besan looking like a big game of mu sical chairs the rain would run everyone inside, then there was a rush to regain seats. To fill out the carnival atmos phere, music rang out of the sher iff's office for a while Saturday morning People who loked 111- ;.4 orammar-SchOOler TonV Wood attired in a colorful cowboy outfit that would have made Gene Autrey look drab strumming a guitar energetically and singing "The Grandfather Clock." Tony s mother finally voted and led him out of the courthouse, dragging the guitar which was a little bigger than Tony. i A Complete Stock of Builders Materials You will find in our stock well air dried, square edge and double end trimmed Framing, Sheathing and Siding; Center Matched Roofers in a good grade of 2 and Better Yellow Pine; Finish, Casings, Moldings, Doors, Sash, Frames and special Millwork. xir. i 4... nro of rrrrtdft marked, end Vre nuvc t w w v-ij 3-- matched and bundled Oak Flooring.

One candidate for the House of Representatives post stood quietly on the front porch of the courthouse, smiling at folks and buying a coke for somebody now and then. If this was bribery, then make the most of it. GHdden s dependable Paint will finish the Job rnr.iarulinn: "l know dlirn well Broughton is gonna win. Ill bet you a steak breakfast he will. ' "Nope. I won t bet you I been working for Umstead since .sunup and I'll be up all night wailing to see whq wins. You think I'm go to get up for breakfast?" The auditor's office Saturday night was the scene of most of the action. The Mountaineer staff was set up there to put the returns together for the radio and United Press. Everyone was yelling figures back and forth across the room as the tension mounted in the races it sound ed like the New York Stock Ex change on a bull market day. Political observers stood about the room congraiuiaiuiB ..- . workers who had sparked the or- ! ganization's candidates in the oting. You could tell how the returns were coming in not by the figures on the hoard but by ; the grins around the room. j n ;i.nM fpllnw probably his first election said he didn't know exactly who he wanted to vote for, but he had heard that a couple, of the candidates for governor wanted to give the GI's a $100 bonus. "That's the man I want to vote for." he said. It went to prove you can fool too many peo pie too much of the time. An election after you get through the balloting Is noth ing but figures. You can read all the balloting figures, but what we'd like to know is how many cigars were smoked Sat urday, how many tobacco quids chewed, how many cuss-words enssed, how many men baa beards, how many used canes, how much money changed hands over the election, how many friends broke into arguments, bow many people didn't know exactly what they were voting lor, how many people were dis appointed otrer the outcome how ManTwere made happy. That's the real story. i .
