MR.. BECKHAM HAPPY
OVER NEW VICTORY
Has Voted Democratic Consistently
For Nearly 60 Years; Opposed
His Father Once

Of all happy Democrats in Vance
county, Charles B. Beckham, retired
rural letter carrier, seemed to be the
happiest today over the Democratic
victory in the nation on Tuesday. He
had taken the front page of a news
paper with its blaring streamer head
line and the picture of Roosevelt and
Clyde r. Hoey, victorious Democratic
candidate for governor, and had pin
ned it wide open across his chest and
was walking about the streets rejoic-
ing over the outcome.
Mr.. Beckham, when a young man
some 55 years ago, broke with his
own father to espouse the cause of
the Democratic party, and ever since
that time has voted the straight Dem
ocratic ticket in every election, with
out missing single one. He was for
many years a rural mail carrier out
of the Henderson office, but several
years ago retired On account of his
age. He Is today around 80 years old,
and is vigorous and active, especially
When it comes to Democratic party
politics.

Roosevelt Vote Is Much
Larger Than Hoey Total
All Five Proposed Constitu tional Amendments Carry in
County; Crissom More han Doubles Landon
C. o. P. Ticket Coole y, Bailey Votes Big

for the State House of Representa-
tives-receiving around 400 votes.
All of the proposed amendments to
the State Constitution carried by safe
margins.
Josiah w. Bailey, for United Sen
ate, seeking reelection on the Demo
cratic ticket, polled $3.50 votes, as
against 339 for his Republican oppon-
ent, Frank G. Patton, while Congress
man Harold D. Cooley, Democrat, was
given a vote of 406S in this county,
as against 200 for A. 1. Ferree, Re-
publican candidate
The Democratic State ticket, in the
main, was in line with the vote for
governor, but Gillian Grissom's vote
was somewhat heavier than his ticket.
1t was noted that Roosevelt's vote
was some 700 votes ahead of Hoey's
vote for governor, while Grissom for
governor received more than twice
the vote given Governor Landon, Re
publican candidate for president.
The unofficial vote on the amend
ments showed the following results
No. l, increasing Supreme Court
yes 1877; no, 993.
No. 2, $1,000 homestead exemption.
yes, 1870; no, 945
No. 3, classification of property, yes,
1870; no, 945.
No. 4, increasing income tax, yes
1899; no, 1,135.
No. 8, limitations on public debt
yes, 1,403; no, 1918.
The county's total vote was not as
large as had been anticipated nor as
large as appeared possible in the ear
ly balloting of Tuesday.
In the June primary, when only
Democrats were supposed to vote, the
total vote cast was trifle above s.
600. The Democratic vote in the gen
eral election Tuesday was 1887 for
the presidential ticket, and the Re
publican only 800, this phase of the
voting commanding the largest re-
Spouse, but the total being only 1876,
on unofficial returns, or 100 to 200
under the Democratic primary vote.
Watchers at the polls said there
were many voters, including a large
portion of women, who came to the
voting booths and cast ballot for
Roosevelt and Garner only, refusing
or failing to participate in either the
State or county tickets.
The returns will be tabulated Off
cially by the Vance County Board of
Elections Thursday morning at II
o'clock at the court house, and the
tabulated official ballot will he car
ried in the Daily Dispatch showing
all precincts on all candidates or is

SPEED URGEDFOR
ARMORY BUILDING
Committee Goes to Raleigh
for Consultation With
WPA Heads

A group of local officials and mill
tiary men went to Raleigh today for
conference with State WPA officials
with a view to making arrangements
for the speeding on to completion the
new Armory for the National Guard
units here.
Scarcity of relief labor is seriously
interfering with the progress of the
work, those familiar with the situa-
ton say, and especially is this true
of skilled workers. There is a sup
ply of common labor though not in
the same proportions as heretofore.
In the party that went to Ra-
leigh today were Chairman Samuel
M. Watkins of the Vance Board of
County Commissioners; Mayor Irvine
B. Watkins, DR.. H. A. Newell, ]. W..
Jenkins, j. N. O'Neil and c. B.
Sturges.
The brick wall of the structure has
been completed and the roof has been
put on and the sub-flooring laid But
no contract has2been given as yet for
the plumbing and heating, the finish
ing of the floor and for the windows
and doors.
1t was the hope of the local dele
cation that arrangements could be
worked out with the WPA chiefs in
Raleigh to permit the procedure i'm
mediately, so that the armory could
be used not later than the first OF
the year. Both Company c, infantry
unit, and the various sections of the
105th Medical Regiment located here
will be housed i'll the Armory, which
is located on the Dabney road, just
off the western extremity of Garnett

Vance county joined the nationwide
procession in todays general cleo

pected to alter the first figures, Pres
ident Roosevelt apparently led the
entire ticket, with 1857 voles as
against 800 for Governor Landon. For
Governor, Clyde r. Hoey, Democratic
candidate, received 1871 votes as
against $50 for Gillian Grissom, Re-

There were only comparatively
minor differences in the votes given

the Democratic ticket, the vote run
ming something over 1000, with the
only county Republican candidate

SENIOR BIOGRAPHIES
Helen Meeker

Helen Meeker is perhaps the only
native daughter the class has, hav-
ing been born at White Bluffs on
the 22nd day of October in the
year 1913
Helen is the one in the class to
whom we point with pride. She has
the peculiar faculty of being able
to be in two or more places at one
time and be doing something in all
of them. Whenever the class gives
a party or other form of festivity,
everyone looks helpless and says,
"Where's Helen? Let Helen do it,"
and Helen usually does it, and more
too.
An unfortunate accident occurred
when Helen was very, very young,
which cost her the last few inches
of her stature. She had often Won
dered if she had middle name,
so one day she decided it was about
time she knew what was going on
around the place, and approaching
her parents with an evil CLINT in
her eye (nud in the other) she de-
manded to know what her middle
name (if any was. After due con-
sideration her parents confded that
it was Squashblossom. The shock
was too great Helen hasn't grown
since.
Helen has been a member of the
editorial staff of the Blackboard
twice, once as junior reporter and
this year in the exalted position of
editor. She also holds tight string
on the student body purse, being
treasurer of that organization.
Helen says she does not aspire to
higher education even though she
is one of the few gals in the physics
class who thoroughly understands
that occult subject.

EDITORIAL

In the days gone by, many boys
and girls would leave school at an
early age to work, believing it not
necessary to acquire further knoWl-
edge. But conditions have changed.
The working men and women Of
today must be skilled in order to
compete with the many other work
erS.
Also, the average person should
have fairly good education. in
order to enjoy the better half of
life. For these reasons one should
equip oneself with the necessary
knowledge. Schools of all kinds are
provided, and it is up to each per-
son to choose between education
and ignorance. Make up your mind
to go on to school, and I am sure
you will never regret it.
