SECOND AUTO
STOLEN HERE
Chief Powers Learns Ford
Taken by Bank Robbers;
Chevrolet Stolen

Almost coincident with the dis
covery that the car used by rob-
bers of the Banner Elk bank in
Avery county last week were the
same people who stole a Ford "
8 car from the JONES Motor COM
pany here Saturday night a week
ago, came the discovery that an
other car had been stolen from
the city on Saturday night. The
automobile taken this time was a
Chevrolet, stolen between 1 a. m.
and 8 a. m. Sunday morning.
Chief Of Police Otis Powers, who
learned today that the Banner Elk
bank robbers were the people in
possession of the car stolen from
JONES Motor company said he be-
lieved that the same people rob-
bed the Chevrolet company early
Sunday morning.
Although Chief Powers had
broadcast the serial number of
the moto of the stolen Ford car
among regional peace officers as
soon as the robbery was learned,
he heard no word from his request
for cooperation in recovering the
car. On seeing a partial descrip-
ton Of the car which had been
used by the Banner Elk robbers,
he got in touch with Sheriff
Hughes of Avery county and
learned that the motor serial num-
Der tailed with the one stolen
here. The car had been badly
wrecked by the robbers, Chief
Powers was informed.
Chief Powers, in telling of the
car that was stolen here Saturday
night or early Sunday said that
the robbers entered the Chevro-
let establishment from the rear,
entering there, hauled a new car
out of the show window, broke
the locks off the inside of the
door and made off with their la
test seizure.

Polls Open From GAS A.
M. to. $50 p. M. To.
morrow !
PICK COUNTY, STATE,
CONGRESSIONAL MEN

With the prospects for fair
weather, with both parties maxi
ing an intensive effort to get out
all the voters, and with the nat
ural interest which has been
aroused in the election, a record
vote is expected in Henderson
county tomorrow when voters go
to the polls to elect county Off
Gals and a NUMBER of state and
congressional officers.
1t is predicted by many that
the vote may be as large as TO-
600, which would be only slightly
more than the number of votes
cast in the last election in 1882.
In the election in 1882, 1860
votes were cost by both parties
in the race for governor, and it is
predicted that the vote this fall
will be as large or larger.
Southwest Hendersonville polled
the largest vote in the last cleo
ton, the figure being 1926 votes.
Southeast Hendersonville was Sec
ond with 974 votes; Hoopers Creek
was third with 920 votes, and
Northwest Hendersonville fourth
with 500 votes.
Votes in other precincts were
as follows: Balfour 357; Bat Cave
229; Bowman's Bluff, 166; Clear
Creek, 371; Grab Creek, 1877; Ed
NEVILLE. 405; Etowah, 327; Flat
Rock, 624; Green River, SOC;

North Blue Ridge, 420; Northeast
Hendersonville, SCI; Raven Rock,
173; Rugby, 1870; South Blue
Ridge, 402.
The fireworks of the campaign
ended Saturday night with a DEM
ocratic rally at which United
States Senator Robt. R. Feynohs
was the speaker, and today the
electioneering was being done by
party officials and candidates.
The county election board and
precinct election officials were
getting the election booths in the
county's 20 precincts ready for
the inpouring of voters.
While chief interest is in the
county races, voters must also
mark tickets for congressman; for
three justices of the state SUI
preme court, including the chief
justice; for state treasurer; for
utilities commissioner; for ten
judges of the superior court; for
superior court solicitor, and for
state senator and state represent
tative. County officers to be
elected are judge of recorders
court, solicitor of recorders
court, clerk Of superior court,
sheriff, register of deeds, tax col
lector, coroner, surveyor, and
three county c. mmissioners.
The polls will open at 6:48 a.
m. Tuesday and close at $50 p.
m. Under the law precinct Off
Gals are not supposed to begin
counting ballots until the polls
close. Election returns will be re-
ceived by the board of elections,
the two county party organiza-
tons, and the Times-News. While
the number of absentee ballots is
expected to be smaller than usual,
party leaders expect considerable
scratching, and if this expectation
is borne out the counting of bal
