Bf the Editor
Bob Bolton, who was convicted
here some time ago for selling
liquor, dropped in to renew his
subscription Monday. He now
operates a cafe near High Point.
He expressed some ssmipathy for
Brantley Allen, who is charged
with violating the Federal liquor
tax laws, but I don’t really be
lieve Bob feels very sorry for
Brantley. I can’t remember whe
ther Brantley was competing with
Bob for the local illegal liquor
trade or not. Bob had a hard time
with local o'fficers, while they
were never able to give Brantley
much trouble, and I expect thai’s
why Bob is not really so sym
pathetic.

where Mrs. Sadie McCain, former
Hoke County resident who moved
to Southern Pines and now is
Dean at Flora Macdonald College,
introduced Mrs. Ernest Ives at the
Democratic Women’s luncheon in
I Raleigh Tuesday. Mrs. Ives, who
lives in Southern Pines some of
the time, would be Governor Adlai
Stevenson’s official hostess at the
White House if he were elected
President. Mrs. McCain’s welcome
to Mrs. Ives was reported to have
been so eloquent that it brought
tears to the latter’s eyes when
she rose to speak.

Hoke Development
Declares Dividend
This tale about Dave Yarbo
rough and Henry Maxwell is get
ting around so fast and furious
that I reckon I better print what
I heard of it. They were .sitting
in June Johnson’s airplane, it
seems, with the motor just idling
-\vhen it got to goings faster -and
faster and finally left, the ground
40 or 50 feet, flew a while and
landed safely in a cotton patch.
Neither had ever flown an air
plane. That’s the story, and you
can believe it if you w^t to. As
for me, I fly some, and t was un
able to get one down right side
up one time after I had been get
ting instruction and flying for al
most a year. Course, a lot of
things are automatic these days,
and maybe that’s the kind of air
plane June’s _MQt.—^—r—-
The annual stockholders meet
ing of the Hoke County Develbp-
ment Corporation was held at the
courthouse Tuesday night. This is
the corporation which was organ
ized to build and which oNvns the
building now occupied by the Para
Thread Company.
Officers were elected as follows:
J. L. McNeill, president; W. P.
Baker, vice-president; Tom Cam
eron, secretary; and H. L. Gatlin,
Jr., treasurer. Following the stock
holders meeting the directors de
clared a six percent dividend to be
paid on October 1 on all stock as
of record on September 23.
L. F. Ross, Asheboro, lumber
man who is running for the Stats
Senate on the Democratic ticket,
dropped in last week. He was
) just trying to make sure people
marked him in, he said, as he and
Senator J. Benton Thomas have
Republican opposition this time
and there are quite a few Repub
licans up aroimd Randolph Coun
ty. He and Senator Thomas are
expected to fill the two Senate
seats from the 12th district next
term. Speaking of “quite a few
Republicans” up there — there
must be, as I understand most of
the coimty officers in Randolph
County now are Republicans. Mr.
Ross, brother of George Ross,
State Director of Conservation &
Development, says they are go
ing to change that in November,
. though.

FMC Reception To
Honor New Teachers
Scout Money
Comes Slowly
Harvey Gobeille, chairman of
the Hoke County Boy Scout fund
drive being conducted this month,
said this week that response had
been only about twenty percent of
those contacted so far and that the
very small quota had not been
even half reached.
He explained that the commit
tee had made their appeal in two
phases, first mailing requests to
businesses and last week making
a second mailing to individuals.
He said response was made easier
this year by the inclusion of post
age paid envelopes with the re
quests, but that it had not pick
ed up response very much.
Gobeille reminded citizens that
the drive will end on October 7,
and urged all who have not done
so to drop a contribution, small
or large in the mail today. He said
he wou^d at least like a token re
sponse from families having sons
in the Boy Scouts. The commun
ity must meet a certain quota this
year as funds are being handle
and the drive conducted through
the Cape Fear Area council and
in all its eight counties at the same
time.

SPEAKER
GOVERNOR W. KERR SCOTT,
who is filling two speaking en
gagements in the county this week,
the first speeches he has made here
since he became' governor. Last
night he had supper with the Mil-
douson Ruritan Club at Mildouson
school and made a public address
afterwards.
Tonight the governor will have
supper with the Raeford Liohs
Club, with the Kiwanis Club and
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
also attending as paying guests.
The governor will speak to these
men after dinner in the High
School cafeteria.
Seems like every time I have
something to say about the tele
phone service not being what it
should be here I see in a day or
two where the price is going up.
Maybe this new increase they
are asking will get us some de
pendable equipment here. Now
I’m, not trying to ride the tele
phone company, but I believe if
they just knew how bad our
service really is they would do
something atout it.
There is, I am told, an ordinance
on the Town’s books prohibiting
the hitching of horses and bug
gies or wagons to telephone poles
on Mdin street. It doesn’t need
enforcing at the present time.
There is another which proUbits
the riding of bicycles on the
sidewalks in the business section.
This one does need enforcing, or
somebody is going to get hurt, cr
their glasses broken ansrway.

Near-End Score
Gets Backs Wm
Over Mt. Olive
To Elizabethtown Friday
Benny “The Kid” McLeod and
overeagerness on the part of the
visitors proved too much for the
Mt. Olive eleven last Friday night
as the Hoke Bucks posted a 14-12
victory in .Armory' Park. This was
the first win of the season for the
Bucks as they were tied in their
opener with Chadbourr. 6-6.
Raeford won the toss and elect
ed to receive. .A.fter making a first
down via an eight-yard gain and
two offside penalties by Mt. ORve
they could make no further head
way and punted. They could gain,
nothing and they also kicked and
received one of their few breaks
in the game whe.n McLeod was
jarred loose from the baU when he
was tackled. With the baU on the
bucks' 18 they ran 1: down to the
9 where they Rad it first down
and goal to go. but could never
reach it as they were set back 20
yards on penalties and 15 more
yards on a tackle by Bobby Brown.
With it 3rd and 35 a beautiful 35
yard touchdown run was caRed
back due to Mt. ORve being off
side. Finally with it 4th and 55 the
Bucks received the ball via a punt
and on the very first play McLeod
scooted around ri^t end for 25
yards and was almost gone for the
distance when he was stopped.
Another punt exchange took place
and on the second play McLeod
romped around right end for 33
yards and a touchdown. Benenr’s
placement was good and the Bu«i3
led 7-0.
Mt. Ohve fought right back aft
er taking the kickoff on the twen
ty and marched down the field for
yards. They made gains of 12, 23,
2, 7, 10 and 22. After Koonce
threw the btdlcarrier for a 20-yard
loss for their only setback of the
drive they scored on a 30-yard
pass play. The placement attenq;>t
was no good and the Bucks were
out in front 7-6. A few plays later
the half ended.
The third quarter was aU Mt.
ORve as they quickly scored again
on a 45-yard run over center and
toiuugfa—toemmtirer^iicks—tesBoor-
Again their placement attem^
faRed and they led 12-7. ,
Midway the ,final quarter the
Bucks finally caught fire and
started a drive on their own 12-
yard line which carried virtually
aR the' way. With McLeod doing
the majority of the baR handling
and a few heavy penalties being
caRed against Mt. ORve the Bucks
reached the l-yard line, With less
than two minutes remaining in the
game! McLeod went around left
end and although it appeared that
he had gone over the double stripe
he was jerked back and fumbled,
Mt. ORve recovering on the 2.
Mt. ORve could have at this
point'run the clock out on run
ning plays and won the game but
they punted on the first play and
therefore handed the Bucks th^
final chance. McLeod ran the baR
back to the thirty and Mt. ORve
drew a 15-yard penalty, tor un
necessary roughness on the taidde,
placing the baR on the 15. Mc
Leod attempted to pass on die ftr^
play and, thou^ it was incton-
plete, Mt. ORve was again penal
ized, this time for pass interfer
ence, putting the baR on die 1.
After a 5-yard penalty against the
Bucks Jim 'White caught a 6-yard
pass from McLeod for the winning
touchdown. Benner kicked the ex
tra point and the Bucks led 14-12.
The game ended a few plays
later with Mt. ORve in possession
of the baR at mid-ReUI.
Leading Rnesmen for the Bucks
were Brown, Culbreth, Koonce
and Wikox. Thou^ die play of
the entire backfield 'was good
Leod was outstanding..
General opinion was diat it ML
ORve had not been so eager he
their play and had drawn fewer
penalties the game wotM here
been mudi different.
