BaiIey's Office Assured Of
Bi-State Appointment Ut
Brevard Man

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Sen.
ator Bailey's office was quoted
today in a dispatch to The Ashe-
Vile Citizen as saying that it has
been assured by the Department
of Justice that T. f. Patton, OF
Brevard, would be appointed
agent in charge of the alcoholic bev-
erage control unit for the Caro-
linas.
Several days ago it became
known that Senator Byrnes was
waging an active campaign to
have friend of his in South
Carolina named to the place. Be-
cause of Byrne's closeness to
President Roosevelt it was be-
lieved at the time that Patton's
chances for appointment were
not so good.
It was learned at Senator
Byrnes office yesterday after
noon however, that the South
Carolinian no longer has any
hope for appointment of his man.
1t is expected that a South Car
Gilman will be named first as
sistant agent in charge Of the
Carolinas' unit.
Patton, former sheriff of Trans
lyvania county and active in
Democratic circles of Western
North Carolina, has the united
support of Senator Bailey and
Senator Reynolds.
