MULLINAX .~ From Page 1-A other well-wishers. Guyton declined comment, say- ing he wanted to wait on the final outcome of the hotly contested "race. Mullinax and Guyton tied in the October 10 election after an offi- cial canvass which saw Mullinax “MAYOR “From Page 1-A A total of 1,572 or 32.7 percent of the registered voters went to the polls Tuesday, compared with 33 percent or 1,553 voters who went to the polls in October. Neisler led the three-way mayor's race in October, topping Childers by only 100 votes. After the votes were posted an impromptu chorus of supporters “sang a rousing praise song. CLINE From Page 1-A fore his name came up for drafting by the Army and we had five chil- dren at the time," said Lib. Cline served on an oil tanker and likes to tell the story of how a German sub- marine operator surrendered to the men on the oil tanker off the coast of Norfolk, Va. "We used to wash our Navy uni- forms and dry them by turning the pants inside out and then we laid the pants under the mattress of our bunks to press them," said Ray, noting that the reason for that was that the Navy wanted creases from the inside of the pants instead of outside. Ray attended Southside School in Lincoln County and was raised in a family of 14 brothers and sis- ters, three of whom survive. His first wife, Nell Uren Cline, died in 1934.

The Clines were married “September 23, 1936 and have six pick up an additional vote. Since seven of the uncounted votes are from Ward 2, either Guyton or Mullinax could win. Mullinax, making his second bid for public office, was defeated by At-Large councilman Dean Spears two years ago. He ran this election year in the ward in which he re- sides and which gave him 97 votes and Guyton 97 votes in October.

He says he wants to see several projects com- pleted by the utilities commission of which he serves as chairman. COOK From Page 1-A booths but Cook said state law contradicts itself. Another section of the law says a voter may request help from anyone. "I believe that drivers were telling a person who to vote for and are getting paid to drive voters to the polls," said Mrs. Cook, who has served as elections chairman for a number of years "I am not speaking for my board or for the city government," she said to the large crowd gathered in the lobby of City Hall. Mayor Scott Neisler said that many candidates, including him- self, try to get their supporters to the polls but he said he does not give favors. "It looked like that one person was doing multiple voting and I agree that no favors should be handed out but I see nothing wrong in taking people to the polls if they need a ride and in trying to get them out of the rain on such a day as Tuesday," he said. Cook says she has no problem with offering voters rides to the polls but she said that women drivers caused major problems for hard-working pollworkers Tuesday, SEVENTH ANNUAL PRE particularly at the Community Center where she worked all day in the East Kings Mountain precinct. "I doubt we would have had this heavy turnout in the rain Tuesday if candidates had not tried to get voters to the polls ," said Neisler. "I'm not for giving favors and I would hope that none of our candi- dates give favors." Cook said the elections board has no control of the activity in the parking lot outside the Community Center, the East Kings Mountain precinct, or The Armory, the West King Mountain precinct.

Cook said that when voters vot- ed curbside they signed a sworn statement that they were unable to come inside the Center to vote. "Of course it was pouring rain and some of the people were hand- icapped but they gave every indica- tion they could mark their own bal- lot." "Our workers were working hard to conduct things legally at salaries far less than these drivers make to haul voters to the polls," she said.
