Fleete ft- McCurdy has announ
ced his candidacy for Ward 5

Both men posted their filing
fees with City Treasurer S. A.
Crouse on Tuesday.
Mr. Allen's candidacy came as
no surprise as he had indicated
for several weeks that he would
make the race.
Only other candidate thus far
for the several city offices and
two school board positions to be
filled at the election of May 8 is
B. Hudson Bridges, a candidate
to succeed himself as Ward 4
commissioner.

mer county commissioner, as a
potential candidate for mayor.
Othe possibilities included
Carl F. Mauney, Ward 2 commis
sioner, and Hal D. Ward, Ward
5 commissioner, with the outside
chance that Mayor J. E. Herndon
might seek re-election:
It was generally conceded that
Mr. JMauney and Mr. Ward, cur-,
rently members of the city board,
would not oppose each other.
While Mr. Mauney said he was
not yet ready to make a state
ment concerning the race, Mr.
Ward said he would either be a
candidate for mayor, or would
bp a candidate to succeed him
self. -

which B. S. Neill announced last
week he would vacate. They in
cluded E. E. Marlowe, Fred W.
Plonk and Tolly Shu ford, all
known to be considering offering
for this position.

was an announcement by H. C.
Wilson, prominently mentioned
as a possible contender for the
Ward 4 city board post, that he
would not seek this office.
Both Mr. Allen and Mr. Mc
Curdy are Kings Mountain busi

statement: "I am aware of the
responsibilities of mayor, and, if
elected, will assume them. I
have no desire to punish would
be enemies or to reward friends,
other than endeavoring to serve
