Two, Five and Six wlU be up for
graba next October. The aeata are
currently held by Humea Houaton,
WUham R. Orlaaom and Fred
Wright Jr., respectively.
TTie two education aeata up for
graba this year are now held by
Tcxnmy Bridges of Kings Mountain
and F. A. (Tip) Francla of Orover.
These board seats are held for six
year*.
“Ihla year is also the year we
purge the registration books,"
Bennett said. "This Is not a new
reglstratlan. It does mean that
citizens who are now registered, but
who did not vote In the 1973 general
election nor have voted In any
election since must re-reglster to be
eligible to vote In the coming
municipal election."
Bennett said a purge Is "more or
leas a penalty one must pay for not
exercising the privilege to vote over
a period of time."
ITie registration books are open all
year round, but close 31 days prior to
any election. Bennett said the 31
days Include only weekdays,
Mondays through Friday.
In 197B the city commissioners
election began under a staggered
term system. The mayor and three
commissioners were elected for four
year terms. The three low vote
polling commissioner candidates
were elected for two year terms
until 1977. This year the three
commissioner cudldatea (Districts
Two, Five and Six) will be elected
for four years. The next municipal
election comes In 1979 when a mayor
and three oonunlsslonera will be
elected.
In 1979 one member of the local
educatlai board will be «g> for re-
election. That seat is now held by
Alex Owens. Two new members of
the board, elected In 1976, will not
come up for re-election until 1961.
Those two are Mrs. June Lee and
Mrs. Marlon Thomasson.

On February 3nd, Dr.
Poaton has an appointment
with Governor Jim Hunt
and a later appointment
that same day with
Howard Lee. It Is safe to
say that the subject of
conversation at both
meetings will be Liberia —
her educational needs, the
possibility of exporting
some of her abundant
mahogany, and a new
market for her in textiles.
The President of Liberia,
Tlilman Bailey, Is a per
sonal friend of Dr. Pos
ton’s. President Bailey’s
son Is a student at Gardner
Webb College adiere Dr.
Poston served as President
for 17 years. Needless to
say, the venture to Liberia
would serve more than one
purpose for one man. It
could serve two nations.
We talked for a while
about President Carter.
Gene Poston considers Mr.
Carter to be a “great
Christian man, one who Is
open and sincere, one who
can be depended on to do
what he says to the best of
his ability." He cmislders

It very Important Mr.
Carter is a great student of
the Bible, and reminded
me of our own Ahe Lin
coln’s statement that a
man could not be con
sidered educated until he
knew the Bible wrell. He
feels that the country will
follow the guidance of Its
chief, and that President
(barter will bring great
spiritual uplift to our
nation.
In talking about youth
today. Dr. Poston re
marked that he felt the
young people of today have
deeper faith and are
searching for realities snd
truths rather than
material rewards, "in my
day,” he said, “we grew up
having to make a living.
We were constantly aware
of It. Today, they don’t feel
that pressure to conform,
to compete — that ws did.
And It’s good. The question
Is whether the adult
generation present In so
ciety today will cheer them
on and encourage them In
their quest for truth.”
Rev. J. C. Goare, Kings
Moimtaln Baptist Church
pastor, said of Dr. Poston:
"My knowledge of Gene
Poeton la very tavorsble.
He Is a very effsctlvs
public speaker and a stu
dent of the Bible. I have
been with him at various
meetings and heard him at
conventions and General
Board meetings. My Im
pression Is that he Is a very
good administrator.
"Ws aU rscaU that Gard
ner Webb grew from a
Junior College to a four-
year school, and, of course
the faculty and student
body grew also.
"I did get the feeling that
though he was a good
admlnlstratar In this field,
he would not necessarily
be as effective as a public
officeholder, that poUttes
may be out of hla area of
expertise.
"Another factor with
regard to his loss in the
primary was that he was
up against a imihar well-
known candidate. Also, his
unique type of campaign
(graasrooti) may not have
Impressed people too well.
"Personally, I am a great
admirer of Dr. Poeton, 1

believe him to be one of the

our area."
If he holds to one philo
sophy, Poston said. It
would have to be to take
OM day at a time. Perform
that day the very best that
you can and learn from
your mistakes. "Do you
know,” he asked, “that the
average man only
achieves 10 percent of his
potential."
I get this gut feeling that
Dot and Gene Poeton have
unlimited potential.
