Strong Tickets
Both Democrats and Republicans In Cherokee County
are patting themselves on the back over the tickets they
will present to the voters of this county In November.
The Republicans started Saturday May 5, right after
their county convention. Cherokee County GOP Chair
man J. Doyle Burch told his group that when combread
Is passed to you at the dinner table, take sene and
eat It whether you lite combread or not. In other
words, according to Burch, for the Republicans to
win In November they must vote the party ticket.
Burch thus called for party unity while praising
the GOP Ticket.
The Democrats followed Saturday, May 12,
nominating a candidate for every county office. In
the words of several Democrat party leaders, their
ticket Is by far the strongest presented In the past
decade. Enthusiasm ran high as the Democrats prac
tically filled the Cherokee County Courtroom the day
of their convention. Precincts delegaoes from
throughout the county seemed well pleased with the
results of the convention. The Democrats adjourned
without naming a party chairman.
Democrat candidates are Donald Anderson for
sheriff, James C. Howse (Incumbent) for clerk of
court, Paul Sudderth for register of deeds: Herman
Edwards (incumbent) for judge of recorders court;
Dr. George Size, coroner; Mrs. Mary (Ed) Brumby,
for legislature; C. C. Hemphill for board of education
and for county commissioners: W. T. Moore, district
one ; J. H, Duncan, district two; and the Rev. W. D.
Graham, district three.
Republican candidates are Claude Anderson, sheriff
Kellls Radford, clerk of court; Ed Graves, register of
deeds; Edwin Hyde, Judge of Recorders Court; and J.
C. Town son, cororner. Candidates for the County
board of commissioners are Carlyle G. Matheson,
Dr. W. A. Hoover and Lester Cole.
Sense Of Deep Regret
It was with a sense of deep regret that we learned
Tuesday of the death at Andrews of the Rev. J. Alton
Morris. While itwas known thathe had a heart ailment,
his death nevertheless came as a shock.
Folks of our generation remember Mr. Morris as
principal and coach at Winterville, Ga? who brought
his basketball teams here on a week-end swap-out
arrangement back in the early 1930's. The
arrangement worked out between Mr. Morris and his
great and good friend, Emmett O. Weeks, was one of
the big events of the year back then.
More recently, Mr. Morris is remembered as the
dedicated, gentle pastor at Murphy who preached here
on many occasions.
In his passing. Baptists of North Carolina have lost
an able leader; his family a devoted husband and
father, and many local persons a close personal
friend.
