A Big Argument
Developed Over
Absentee Ballots
Republican Chairman Demanded
That Absentee List Be Turned
Over To Them.
PAYNE CITES THE LAW

Grant BaugueSs, county chairman
of the Republican party and Cole
man Payne, chairman of the county
board tof elections, had an argument
this week over the question of alb
sentee ballots, both present and past.
Mr.. Bauguess said that he first
requested Mr.. Payne to give him ac-
cess to the absentee ballot list cast
during the Last general election,
that are now locked in box in the
clerk of courts Office and that Payne
refused.
He then asked for list of absen-
tee applications made SO far dur
ing the current campaign and that
this request was refused.
Bauguess declared that he had
telegram from Raymond c. Max
well, of the state board of elections,
stating that the Republican member
of the county election board has a
right to copy names of absentee ap-
plicants from the absentee record
book of the chairman.
In answer to the first request
about the old absentees, Payne ex-
planned that according to the cleo
ton laws, sections 81 and 40, the
absentee ballots are to be. turned
over to the clerk of court after the
election, by the county election
chairman or registrars and that
they are to remain in his custody
for six months unless the election is
contested.
In regard to the absentee ballots
of the last election that are now
locked in. the clerks Office, he said
that he did not have a key to the
box az Mr. fStansberry stated that
he thought Zeb Gambill, former
election chairman who now lives
in Winston-Salem, has the key and
that the box was left in his Office
by Mr.. Gambill. According to law,
they should have been destroyed
some time ago, Payne states.
In answer to second request,
Payne stated that he did not have
an absentee record book made up
yet and that the law does not re-
quire him to do this at any special
time before the election.
On election day, though, he states
that complete list of the absentee
voters must be posted at the court
house and sent a list to the various
registrars. That afternoon the alb
sentee ballots are opened and count
ed.
Over 1000 absentee votes were cast
last election, the big majority of
which were Democratic, Bauguess
said.

Visitors Net Play Strong.
Miss Winslow's triumph was
achieved through a combination Of
excellent net play and a speedy de-
tense that rendered her opponents
deft placements ineffective. Miss
Workman was near her best form,
but failed repeatedly to draw Miss
Winslow out of position for passing
shots.
The winner gained a 20 lead at
the outset of the first set and never
lost it, although Miss Workman once
broke her service to bring the count
to 50. Miss Winslow advanced to
the net at every opportunity. making
sensational returns as Miss Workman
tried to pass her. In the second set
Miss Workman started briskly and

took care of the backcourt.
The veteran Andr1ls- Henrotin team
