R; “Tuck” Mc- Connell, former assistant at West ern Carolina Teachers college, will have to start from the ground when they take over the coaching duties at Newberry col lege this fall.

Although facing one of the toughest football ir., 'die history of the school, Tate and McConnell will have only 16 mem bers of the 1949 squad to work with when they issue the call for grjdmen along about Labor Day. They will have only two weeks to prepare for the opening en counter with Catawba on Sept. 16 after which they take on Elon, Presbyterian, Wofford, Erskine, Lenoir Rhyne, The Citadel, Stet son, and Florida State. The former Black Mountain High coach will find things a lit tle better in basketball but will need a tall center to give him a well rounded squad.

Although he will not move from Black Mountain until Sept. 1, he will leave on June 12 to attend summer school at Carolina and work toward his M. A. “I have enjoyed teaching at Black Mountain and I hate to leave. But no one can blame me for taking advantage of the op portunity which I have now,” Bob told the NEWS. “I want to espec ially thank Mr. (N. C.) Shuford j for his fine cooperation. I could not have found a better man to work with no matter where I had ' gone. He cooperated with me in | every way possible.” Joyce Gouge Is Honored At Berea Miss Joyce Gouge, former Black !

In the race for sheriff. Incumbent Laurence E. Brown lacked 64 votes of winning a majority over his five opponents and Organiza tion-Backed Claude L. Love nosed out the Regular candidate, Dave M. Snelson, for the third place in the house of representa tives. In most other contests, the candidates backed by the Regu lars won by landslide proportions. The winners were: For solicitor 19th district, W. K. McLean, 14,962; for state sen ator, Zebulon Weaver Jr., 15,656; for house of representatives, Roy A. Taylor, 13,952, Lamar Gudg er, 13,069, and Claude L. Love, 10,951; for chairman board of county commissioners Coke Cand ler, 14,526; for commissioner pub lic institutions, George D. Young, 13,186. Laurence E. Bown, incumbent, received 12,832 votes in the race for sheriff and his nearest oppon ent, A1 Dowtin, 8,715. Frank Graham missed a major ity by 12,000 in his race for U. S. senator against Willis Smith, Raleigh attorney. There is a pos sibility that Dowtin, Smith, and ‘Snelson will call for a rutvjff *.j June 24. Each is entitled to a sec ond primary as his opponent failed to win a majority of the votes cast. This was one of the liveliest primaries in years with the Reg ular Democrats, composed of most of the GI faction which won four Tears ago, pitted against the Organization Democrats. In the only Republican race, J. J. Britt Jr. defeated E. R. Bart lett for nomination for sheriff by a vote of 667 to 322. Lions Club Elects William Hickey William (Bill) Hickey was elected president of the Black Mountain Lions Club at the elec tion held at the Monte Vista Thursday night. The officers were nominated at the previous meet ing and will be installed at the last meeting in June. Other officers elected to serve with Mr. Hickey were: Roy Alex ander, first vice-president; H. D. Crawford, second vice-president; Perry Morgan, third vice-presi dent; secretary, Wade Morrow; assistant secretary, H. D. Sand ers; treasurer, E. K. Brake; as sistant treasurer, G. C. Carson; Lion tamer, Keith Townsend; as sistant Lion tamer, R. E. Mooney, and tailtwister, Gordon H. Green wood. Tom Nesbitt and William (Bill) Ellington were named to the board of directors for a two year term to serve with Holdovers M. E. Rondel and Charles C. Clevenger. It was announced that June 8 would be observed as lady’s night —only wives may be invited un less other vacancies are announc ed in time for other invitations to be extended for a ladies’ night. Because of the fact that only 150 can be served at the Monte Vista, the board of directors of the Lions Club thought best to limit guests to wives only. Following the election of offi cers the Rev. R. G. Mote of Char lotte gave a very interesting talk on his experiences while serving as a foreign missionary with the Seventh-Day Adventists. He was introduced by Herbert W. Sand ers.
