WHAT NOW?—The situa tion in which Richardson Preyer people found them selves as of about ten o'clock on Saturday evening, May 30, was pitiful. There seemed to be no pos sible way out of the hole short of ' sending Dan Moore off to another planet. The last thing the People for Preyer had wanted was a runoff with Moore. And. as the returns rolled in, they could but join in sympathetic understanding with our old friend Job of Biblical pro minence, who said: “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” In 1948, the situation was similar. Charles Johnson came in with a vote of 170,141 in the first Primary. Kerr Scott had 161,293. But the Scott people smell ed victory in a runoff, for Mayme Albright (soundly trounced Saturday by Har old Cooley) polled 76,281. And, then like Brewer, Bur leson. and Stansbury this past Saturday, Barker in 1948 got 10,871 votes, Boyd came in with 2,111, and Stanley with 2,428. See the similarity? In the second go-around DOGWOOD MANOR MONTREAT ROAD Black Mountain, N. C. YEAR 'ROUND AND SUMMER RESIDENTS Modern, New Building AND Fine Food DIAL 669-8921 f Kerr Scott polled 217,620 rotes to Johnson’s 182,684. However, the situation for Preyer is much, much worse than it was for Charlie John son 16 years ago. Frankly, as af Sunday, May 31, only the rankest Preyer fan could see any chance whatever for him in any second Primary. We see only Dan Moore as our next Governor. The Republicans say, off the record, that their chances with Moore would be much less than with the liberal Preyer. Saturday’s vote, unless you are prejudiced, can be re garded only as a stinging de feat for Gov. Terry Sanford, for Bert Bennett, for integra tion, and for the various far flung facets of the forces endeavoring to carry on for another four years the San ford Philosophy. The question seems to be: does Richardson Preyer REALLY want, deep down in his heart, a second Primary? We doubt that he does. WHAT HAPPENED?— North Carolina, with an isola ted exception here and there, is not an ultra-liberal State. It is not an Alabama or Mis sissippi, either, as was shown when it sided with Sanford over a more rambunctious Lake four years ago. We seem to be a middle of-the-road State. Well, what happened Sat urday? This, mainly: the Moore people did a superior job of selling their man to the people. He was stronger than any of us realized. Prey er was much weaker than the stampeding efforts had led us to think. Lake’s strength was about as we figured. He improved his position very, very little from 1960 to 1964. Never theless, Dr. Lake emerges as i man to be reckoned with in the future. If Dan Moore should be our next Governor— jnd we can see nothing else "ight now—Dr. Beverly Lake tvill see much of his philoso phy guiding the destiny of the State in the next four years. Moreover, it is readily ap parent that Moore would be four nominee from the Dem ocratic Party right now had Dr. Lake decided not to make he race. With Lake, Moore, and Brewer having a combined rote of about 450,000 to ap proximately 265,000 for Ric ardson Preyer, you can see SUMMER SERVICE OIL FIRED FURNACES JOHN E.

S. 64, Fontana Village, C. what happened in the Pri mary . And, while Dr. Lake will doubtless team up with Dan Moore should there be a runoff, this is merely a form ality. As a matter of cold, hard fact, Dr. Lake could not deliver 10,000 of his votes to Richardson Preyer if his very life depended upon it. Every body recognizes that the Brew er vote was anti-Preyer. PREDICTION — Since crow seemed to be the favor ite dish of many this past Sunday, you can pass us a little helping, too. We said Preyer would be far out in the lead, hinted there might not be a second Primary. We put Moore sec ond and Lake third. We said Blue would be No. 1, but this turned out to be Bob Scott. We predicted a second Pri mary in this one, however. Other predictions: over 700,000 votes( correct): Cool ey would defeat Albright (correct); Scott would take Freeman in the Fifth District (correct); Labor Commission er Crane and Insurance Com missioner Lanier would be re nominated (correct). HEDGING—In our forecast last week we said: “But, to hedge a little, we could be in for some big surprises—-for the Preyer and Lake areas particularly.” We made this statement because Preyer just didn’t seem to us to be “catching on” with a lot of the rank and-file voters. We found a surprising number of people who could never pronounce his name right—and this in dicated to us “distance” as regards Preyer. And, “Preyer” — unlike “Moore”— is not a common name in North Carolina. With some, Preyer lacks a down to-earthness possessed b> CP&L TO DEDICATE PLANT—Carolina Power & Light Company will dedicate its new Asheville steam-electric gen-1 erating plant on June 10. Program principals will include Congressman Roy A. Taylor of Black Mountain top left); Louis V. Sutton, CP&L board chairman (center); and Julian B. Stepp, CP&L’s Asheville District manager (right). The dedication ceremonies will climax a 30-month construction program which represents a multi-million-dollar investment by CP&L. The 250,000-horsepower coal-fired plant (below) will produce more than a billion kilowatt-hours of energy a year for Western North Carolina. OLD FORT NEWS BERTHA GREENE Phone 668-7752 Old Fort, N. C. Personals Mrs. Lula White spent last week end with Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Lynch at Spindale. Mrs. Gene Bradley is ill at her home on Mashburn Branch with the flu. Mrs. Jannie Pierson of Morristown, N. J., is spend ing several days with her sis ter and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Butterfield and also with her mother, Mrs. M. L. Gibson, who are ill at Mrs. Butterfield’s home. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Allison at Marion General hospital, May 25. Mrs. Harry Ollis was ad mitted to Marion General hos pital last Monday. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bridgman at Marion General hospital May 25. Donnie B. Gibbs, who has been in Duke Hospital at Dur ham for several weeks, re turned to his home last Tues day, much improved. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Anderson at Marion General hospital, May 27. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gib son of New Ellington, S. C., spent last week with his mot her, Mrs. M. L. Gibson, who is ill. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bates and daughter, Bobbie Sue, of Eight Mile, Ala., spent last week with relatives in the Ebenezer section. Mr. and Mrs. John Steppe of Marion were dinner guests Moore. He has never been as much a part of the crowd. So, we had the feeling that the tremendous P r e y e r strength just might not be out there. The lack of money in Lake’s campaign and the strange lack of enthusiastic interest for his candidacy in vast sections of Western North Carolina caus ed us to put him down as a possible surprise element. BEST THING—The very best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party in North Carolina would be for us to have no second Primary in the race for Governor. of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steppe last Sunday. Mrs. Katherine Steppe Dav idson of Moline, 111., spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steppe and other re latives in McDowell County. Ken Lewis of Morganton spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Allison. Mrs. Mintie Tisdale, who has been ill at her home for several months, is improving.
