If the tobacco tax goes through and the ban on smoking keeps increasinc, maybe cotton ill return as king again in Hoke County. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ * The Leadership'Hoke Course that is given each year by the Raeford-lloke Chamber of Commerce and Sandhills Community College is now in progress.

The polls w ill be open Irom 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. There will be a race for Mayor and for tvx'O seats in the council. There will also be a ballot tor bonds to be voted on at this election. 1 stated recently that if vou can’t find Planning (Continued from page 1) out anything about this bond referen dum vou should vote NOor .AGAINS1. After the item came out in my column, someone left a paper on my desk about the Economic Deselopment i.ssue. I read the five-page article and I was almost convinced that this was a good thing until I came to a paragraph on the Kniom ol ptige four. It Wits as follows: "An important factor tor voters to keep in mind is that the investors or purchasers of lhe.se bonds ultimately tissume the economic risk of repayment. Most eci'iiomic development boiiils are sold to sophisticated financial institu tions or private investors. These pur chasers can asse.ss and unde:write the risk of repayment from the information contained in a bond prospectus. Never is the county, city or state of North Caro lina legally resixmsihle for the repay ment of economic development bonds. Although a county or city may tinder- take to repay defaulted economic devel opment bonds due to the impact on fu ture credit rtiting, there is no legal ol'li- gation to do so." That is the trouble w ith our country today. As long as it's legal, it is oktiy. .lust forget about the moral obliga tions. I w ill still vote NO. ***** The road work on US 401 between Raefordand I'ayeltev ille is moving at a fast pace. Approximately half of tiu- woi k IS finislied and it is a londy ride on the by pass around Lake Rim at night. This road slioukt he compleieil liy tW4. I understand that the Tom Cameron murdei trial came to a close last Eriday. 1 htiven’l seen it in a daily paper, hut I umlerstand that the defenilant gpi lilc imprisonment. 1 thought after reading the article in last week's paper that tlie verdict would call for a death penalty . I still think that should have been the sentence. ***** 1 wrote this tirticle after seeing the Atlanta Braves lose their thiid game to the Philadelphia I’hillies. It seems the Braves’ bats are either hot oi cold. They scoied more runs in two games than the Phi I lies scored in Iheirihree w ins. Maybe they can repeat the 1W1 season and win the final two games in Philadelphia like they did at Pittsburgh. Let's hope so! ***** The Carolina T:ir I leel football team has given up 74 jioiiits in the last two games, but they htivecome out the w in- ners by .scoring 40 points. David Smith andJimmy Conoly went with me Saturday to .see Carolina defeat Wake Eorest 4,3-33. eWGmNi * f- ^^ ^ EENfTER SIZE 8 10 12 16 2x4 2.19 3.15 3.69 5.45 2x6 3.59 4.71 5.39 7.65 2x8 — 6.39 7.89 10.69 4x4 4.26 7.79 9.05 — 5/4x6 2.99 m 4.45 5.99 The Planning Commission steadily weakened over the director controversy since early this year with the resigna tion of County Manager Barry Reed, citing differences of philosophy and how much control the Board of County Commissioners exert over county em ployees. One of the first actions of the new commissioner’s chairman was to issue a memo ordering a hiring and firing freeze of county employees. The memo was later rescinded. Then in early summer the Commis sioners requested an executive session of the Planning Commission to fire or reprimand Burd. The Planning Com mission voted utianimously to take no action against her. About 200 people turned out for an August public hearing, many protesting any changes to or dissolution of the Planning Ordinance or the planning director’s position. The resignation of three county-ap pointed Planning Commission mem- bersfollowed, along with thatof County Attorney Duncan McFadyen. Only a handful of people turned out Monday to raise protests before the fi nal rites of the ordinance. Resident Jean Hodges called the move regressive and destructive to the county, while resident Lawanna Hayes asked the Commissioners why they were “picking on” the Planning Board and leaving the Department of Social Ser vices, Parks and Recreation, and others alone. Commissioner Howell, who vehe mently opposed the proposed dissolu tion, said the Monday meeting was “only a public announcement of w hat the ma jority of this Board intends to do.” “For three commissioners to say the system’s been out of control, they are grossly misinformed and completely out of touch with thiscounty,” Howell said. He said that any change would place the planner under the will of political pres sures, helping foster “cronyism in the so-calleil good oF boy system.” Jordan s;iid the County will have a Planning Commission to replace the joint commission, and a county planner. Just where Raeford figures in that .scheme remains in question. The Raeford City Council has col lectively gone on the record several times opposing any change to the plan ning ordinance. While Mayor Bob Gentry said this week's decision by the county will not jeopanlizeother joint projects. he“haies to see it dissolved.” “1 feel like this is a detriment to I loke County. 1 just feel like a lot of progress has gone down.’’ He said he does not know how Coun cil will handle it’s own planning prob lems. “We need a planning director for the city, but we can’t afford one ourselves.” FALL FIX-UP SALE!!I TREATED LUMBER PLYWOOD Landscape Timbers 4x4x6 4x8 Lattice *2.39 *3.84 *7.99 1/2 5/8 3/4 REJECT 7.95 10.95 12.95 SELECT 8.95 11.95 14.29 OSB 6.79 11.79 12.95 SHOP BC 12.04 14.46 18.50 BC 14.35 — 20.15 TREATED 15.07 20.74 21.92 STORAGE BUILDINGS ON CONCRETE (concrete not included) 8x8 $288°° 10x16 $373°° 12x12 $439°° 12x20 $596°° WOOD FLOOR $39900 $472°° $586°° $826°° PINE LUMBER SIDING VINYL - LIFETIME WARRANTY White Double 5" *3995 Soffit *5®^ PVC Trim Coil *49®® OMNIWOOD 4x8 Cedar *13« 4x9 Cedar *14®® 8"xl6' Cedar *3®® HARDBOARD 8"xl6' Smooth *2®® 8"xl6' Colonial *3” 12"xl6' Smooth *5^* PINE 3/8" Shop *9®® 5/8" Shop *13^® STEEL DOOR UNITS Flush $85®° Panel $91®0 9Lite M21®° Full View/15 Lite. *14750 6/0 French.... *299*“ ROOFING INTERIOR 20 YEAR SHINGLES MARKED DOWN WHEN WRAPPER GOT WET!
