TEN CENTS PER COPY $3.00 PER YEAR d/f-dcUncla - - - By the Editor Out at the Bethel ingathering last Thursday I sidled up to Cliff McNeill with my Ike button on and he almost choked when he saw it. I then noticed that it was chicken salad he was about to choke on and not barbecue. The barbecue there was generally considered about as good as any who ate it had ever seen, %o I was naturally curious as to why he wasn’t eating it, asking if he had worn his stomach out to where he couldn’t eat it any more. He said, “Well I didn’t make the chicken salad, and I at least don’t know what went in it.” They say that 60 million or more people are expected to vote in next Tuesday’s election, and that over a million of them will be from North Carolina, with a record registration of almost two million in the Tar Heel state. Whichever way the election goes nationally, it just doesn’t seem to me that a majority of tha.t many people could make a wrong chqice, and we should pray that whichever man they: choose is the right man. And wd ?hpuld ^ch be sure to get ouf b^^ dbiiie. our country’s future by^^^^'^-'stu^S^hat we get ; to the^ils and ii^e : Tues day. If all vote- we’ll get the“man most of us Want, that’s for sure. New Car Dealers Offer Rides To Polls On Tuesday As a pubhc service, Raeford Auto Co., Hoke Auto Co.', and Morgan Motor Co., Raeford new car dealers, will offer transporta tion to the polls on election day, November 4, to anyone in' Raeford who does not have a way to ride. New car dealers in almost every state in the county have organized to make a great non-partisan ef fort to tium out a record-breaking vote, The new car. dealers have become alarmed at the great de cline in'* the voting record Over a period of years and they believe that if the citizens can get to the polls they’ll vote and their offer of transportation is a practical ap proach to a great national prob lem. The three dealers will make both transportation and drivers available and a telephone call is all that is needed to arrange for transportation. • All the dealers in Raeford urge every citizen to “Vote as you please, but VOT^I!” 0 Hoke Girls Attend FHA Rally Saturday Ginning Report Lower This Year Than Last The Bureau of the Census makes the following report on cotton ginned prior to October 1, with comparative figures of last year. The report shows that only 4470 bales had been ginned in Hoke County this year while during the same period last year 5656 bales were ginned. Several reasons are given for this being lower than last year although the turnout as a whole is not expected to reach previous reports, dry weather, heavy wee vil infestation. and a shortage of cotton pickers are but a few. 0 Home Dem.
