COUNTY ELECTION
OFF1CILS TO HAVE
SCHOOL INSTRUCTION
Schools to be Held in Every County
of State Oct. 24—Maj. McLendon
Issues Call Behalf State
Election Officials.
Mr. J. E. Joines, chairman, J. A.
Higgins and T. W. Landreth, mem
bers of the Board of Elections of
Alleghany County, were asked today
trars of election in all of their pre
to call together the judges and regis
cincts on Tuesday morning, October
24, at 10:30 o’clock and to conduct
at that time local schools of instruc
tions in the powers and duties of elec
tion officials relative to the elections
to be held November 7.
Therequqes t was made in a letter
sent to the county boards by the
North Carolina Association of Elec
tion Officials, Maj. L. P. McLendon,
of Durham, president, and George C.
Hampton, Jr., of Grensboro, and Ray
mond Maxwell, of Raleigh, vice-pre
sidents. The letter had the endorse
ment of the State Board of Election.
This is the first time in the history
of the State that local schools of in
struction have been held for election
officials. The basis for the instruction
will be a guidebook which has jus^
been prepared under the auspices of
the institute of government by George
C. Hampton, Jr., vice-president of the
State Association of Election Officials
and chairman of the Guilford County
Board of Elections.
Copies of this guidebook have been
sent to the 6,000 election officials in
the State.
Elections this fal are to be held
under a special law, and this guide
book is prepared exclusively for the
use of officials in this election, said
Albert Coates, director of the Insti
tute of Government. He added that
criticism of this pamphlet is invited
as an aid to the completion of anoth
er guidebook now being prepared for
the election officials of the primary
and general elections of 1934.
Mr. Coates gave high praise to Mr.
Hampton for his work in the prepara
tion of the guidebook, a pamphlet of
32 pages, well indexed, and acknow
ledged with appreciation, suggestions
and criticisms by Attorney-General
Dennis G. Brummittt, Assistant At
torney General A. A. F. Seawell, Ray
mond C. Maxwell, Henry Brandeis,
Jr., and Clifford Smith.
He commanded especially the work
of Major McLendon, chairman of the
State Board of Elections, “whose cor
dial cooperation and leadership hac
helped make possible this first ven
ture in guidebooks.”
The Association of Election Offi
cials was organized as a division of
the Institute of Government on May
6, 1932. Its membership is open to the
State Board of Elections, the county
boards of elections, registrars, and
judges of elections. Its advisory com
mittee consists of W. A. Lucas of
Wilson, John C. Sikes of Monroe,
Fred D. Hamrick of Rutherfordton,
and Adrian S. Mitchell, of Raleigh,
members of the State Board of Elec
tions.

Local Play Friday Night One
Of Best Ever Presented
The three-act comedy, “Two Days
to Marry,” which was presented by
the Sparta High School faculty last
Friday night at the school auditorium
was one of the best performances
ever given in Sparta. The play was
ful of humor from the beginning
where Chase, the lazy negro valet,
bemoaned the fact that “dis am a
cruel world. All ah knows is hahd
wo’k,” to the end where the cast took
their bows to a delighted audience.
The characters were splendid in their
roles and in giving a short resume
of the play it is impossible to do
them justice.
Herbert Estep was excellent in the
role of the handsome, debonair ba
chelor; James Dare, who must be
married before his twenty-eighth
birthday which was only two days
olf, or lose a legacy of a million dol
I lars. Things began happening when
Sawyer, timid bachelor-lawyer, play
ed by C. R. Roe, advertised for a wife
for young Dare. This brought a de
luge of applicants together with
many complications and Mr. Roe was
perfectly splendid as the bashful law
year who had to extricate himself
and young Dare from several most
amusing situations.
Miss Elizabeth Lambert, in a most
appealing manner, portrayed the part
of Imogene McShane, a charming
young girl with whom young Dare
was really in love, but who did not
approve of his many affairs and his
light-minded ways. The day before
his birthday she relented and they
were married. Immediately afterward
Dare receives a letter from his mil
lionaire uncle, executor of the will,
who says he is on his way to visit
his nephew and that he hopes he can
approve of the wife who must be
much older than Dhre else he cannot
get the million dollars. This brings
about serious complications until Mrs.
Boise, a designing widow from Iowa
comes in to claim *young Dare as her
fiance, and finds Imogene, his wife, to
be her long-lost adopted daughter. In
order to deceive the uncle about Mrs.
Dare’s age, Mrs. Boise enters into a
scheme to pose as Mrs. Dare, but be
fore the uncle has been there long
he recognizes Mrs. Boise to be the
wife that left him years before, and
for whom he has been searching a
long time. In his great happiness the
uncle forgets everything except him
self and hands young Dare the check
for a million dollars, and all the
marital troubles are ended. Mrs.
Dalton Warren played the part of
Mrs. Boise, and Isom Wagoner was
Mr. Blair, the rich uncle. They por
trayed these characters in a grand
manner and furnished many bits of
real humor.
The love affair of Chase, played by
Burton McCann, and Pinky, the
maid—a frisky “yaller gal,” played
by Mrs. Bryan Collins, furnished a
background for the comedy that kept
the audience laughing during the en
tire evening. They were exceedingly
good and it was a riot of fun to fol
low the courtship of this pair from
the time Miss Pink was hired as the
new maid until she brought Chase to
his knees in a most formal proposal
just as the curtain came down upon
the last act.

LOCAL YOUNG MAN
UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE
Sam Perry, young white man of
Sparta, was placed under $200 bond
Wednesday morning, charged with
breaking into an apartment over
Warren’s store about one o’clock in
the morning. The apartment was oc
cupied at the time by Miss Rose Fen
der and her small sister. It is stated
that young Perry was under the in
fluence of liquor at the time. Ac
cording to reports he entered the
outer door, ascended the stairs and
began knocking on the door of Miss
.Fender’s apartment. Miss Fender was
awakened and became alarmed at the
'disturbance. She finally ran down the
stairs and went to the central of
jfice, where she remained for some
time.
Later she went back to her room
and barred the front door from the
inside. Perry returned and broke1
down the outer door and again tried,
to gain entrance to the room. Miss
Fender called for help, and Perry
left.
Perry was arested Wednesday
morning and released under bond.
A preliminary hearing will be held
Saturday before Mayor Crouse.
• It is understood that others are
implicated in the affair, but as The

not available.
