C. 10 PAGES 10c PER COPY S4jM PER ■Addenda... By Sam Morris The election is over and now young, and old alike can see their favorite TV programs and also their favorite commercials. As this goes to the linotype machine • to be set Kennedy has approx imately 500,000 lead over Nixon for President. Hoke County had its largest vote and this was pleasing to me. The religious issue that was talked about didn’t seem to have any bearing on the vote in this coun ty. The vote for Nixon was about the same as President Eisenhower received in 1956.1 would estimate that Republicans have increased by about 50 over 1956 in the coun ty. So by this time it would seem that independent voters in Hoke didn’t vote quite as strong for Nixon as Eisenhower. The majority this county gave to Terry Sanford and Congress man Paul Kitchih will certainly be looked aipon by them as a'big step toward their victories. Ad- foining Moore County gave San ford only 352 majority and Kit- chin 1316, so little Hoke’s maj- •rity to their cause was more than the larger county. This helps in more ways than one when you need help from these people. So remember lets continue to vote in large numbers in this county. f# - John Scott Poole, chef and dish washer for the ' Booster Club, wants to remind everyone of the Bar-B-Q supper at the Armory Friday night before the Wilson Clerk Of The Month Mrs. Harvey Cole, an employee of Theresa’s since its opening four years ago, has been named Clerk of the Month by the Rae- ford Retail Merchant’s Associa tion.

Democrats Repel All Attacks; Critically Hurt o a. a IVT a* Sweep County, State, iNahon Lawrence L. Hales, a twenty year old Raeford youth, was criti cally injured in the car above when it collided with an automo bile driven by J. W. Cole, Jr., 21, on Highway 401-A here late Sat urday night. Highway Patrolman J. E. Dupree reported that the col lision occurred at around 11:30 p. m. on the curve at the old Con- oly Station approximately 1.1 miles north of Raeford. Dupree stated that his investi gation showed Cole was headed north in a 1959 Ford four-door sedan, owned by his father, J. W. Cole, when he was overtaken by another Ford of the same model and year driven by Alvie Ed wards, Jr., 22, and owned by R. L. Hales. Hales was a passenger in the vehicle driven by Edwards. Edwards apparently was closer to the Cole yehicle than he realiz ed, for he struck the Cole car |jn the left rear fender as he pul led out to pass. This ■forced the car which Edwards was driving to swerve out of control and into a broadslide skid for a distance of some 251 feet. Officer Dupree estimated the speed of the Ford in which Cole was riding to be between 55-60 miles per hour and within the speed limit. In the ensuing skid which followed the collision. Hales was thrown from the car driven by Edwards and appar ently dragged by it for some dis tance. Hale’s condition was classified as critical upon his arrival at Cape Fear Valley Hospital. Hales sustained several broken ribs along with head, chest, and abdo minal injuries.

He also states that some other contributions will come in. (Lamont reported late Wednes day $110 received from public employees). The list of businesses that had 100% contributors omitted Collins Department Store last week due to an oversight. In the industrial section, Lamont said mention should be made of U. S. Rubber Company’s 99 employees who con tributed 100%. This is a remark able record. The belated drive of Priebe Poultry Company started and to date they have received $350. We Ihink this is fine after the hardships they had about the lime the drive started. Wilson’s 4-A Champs Hoke Voters Go To Polls In Record Numbers Tuesday Going to the polls in the larg est turnout in the history of Hoke County, voters gave John F. Kennedy a 3 1/2 to 1 majori ty over Richard M. Nixon in the race for President of the United States. The majority of Terry Sanford over Robert Gavin was four to one and other Democrat ic candidates’ majorities ran close to eight or nine to one. (Tabulation box elsewhere in pa per). The county followed the statd and nation in voting Dem ocratic. The largest previous vote in the county was in the May prim ary of 1958 when there were 2,578. In Tuesday’s election there were unofficially 2,702 votes cast for Kennedy and Nix on, the largest total. In the State Senatorial con tests for the 12th district J. Ben ton Thomas and Sam J. Burrows j appeared certain to go in in spite! of a Republican victory in Ran dolph County. The vote in that county went about 2000 for the Republican candidates but the Moore and Harnett should give | Thomas and Burrows around a lead of 6000 votes. j The county ticket was led by J. E. Gulledge who was unopposed for Register of Deeds. He re-1 ceived 2501 votes. Other unop-1 posed candidates and their votes are as follows—for the House: Neill McFadycn, 2498; Judge, Harry Greene, 2496; For Com-! missioner: J. H. Blue, 2453; C. 1 Conoly, 2438; J. F.

The Raeford Bucks turned Dix ieland here last Friday night and played “Hold That Tiger” to a 42-0 beat. The Wadesboro Tigers were unable to cross the Buck goal line in a one-sided contest that found Raeford scoting in every quarter except the last. The Wadesboro eleven was able to muster only 88 rushing yards in defeat, while surrendering 247 yards to the hard charging Buck ground attack. Wilson High, a giant in eastern North Carolina high school foot ball was derailed this week for their first defeat of the season by- Greenville, second place team in the Northeastern Conference in a 20-19 thriller at Wilson. The 4-A champions were vanquished aftgr eight consecutive wins this season. The upset victory will doubtless spell trouble for the Bucks who will tackle the rebounding Wilson club at Armory Park tomorrow. The Bucks will have their work cut out for them as they face what is pro bably their toughest opposition of ihe year. Bucks. From that point on, the game was nevqr in doubt for the Raeford'eleven. The second touchdown in the game came on a lateral from Guin to quarterback Jimmy Byrd on the Wadesboro 20 yard line Va'rly in the first quarter. Byrd pulled in the leather and raced the distance to rack up six more points. The Bucks, who found little trouble creating gaps in the Tiger forward’wall, attempted on ly six passes during the contest. One of these struck paydirt when Byrd cut loose with an aerial from the Tiger 47 and hit end Larry Upchurch on the run at the 15. Upchurch never slowed his pace as he rambled into the end zone to chalk up the third Buck T. D. The fourth score for the Bucks came late in the second quarter when Johnny Sams knifed over center for 6 more points and culminated a 55 yard march by the Raeford eleven. The Bucks devasted the Tigers for two more touchdowns in the third quarter. Halfback Larry a pass to Phillips who hauled it in on the 10 and raced through the red flags for the final touch down. Upchurch converted after each T. D. The victory marked coach Floyd Wilson’s eighth win in nine starts for his squad. The Bucks, however, lost no time in prepar ing for tomorrow night’s con test with Wilson High School. 0 ; Shrubbery Taken By Thieves At Bethel ceived one. zen of Fayetteville wife formally KeflNdy’s Pofilar Rlargii Is Clost; Sireng Ekcloral John F Kennedy was elected Pr^ident of the United States Tuesday, and the last electoral college votes needed to assure him victory camd from Vice Pres ident Richard Nixon’s home state of California.
