Miss Mayis Smith Chosen AS
Miss Appalachian" Ala. Ste.
Erwin Smart Elected ''Mr. APP
palachian". Election Held
Last Saturday.
Especial to The Post)

Boone, Jan. 15.-The Appalachian
State College campus, was scene
of bustling activity here today as
approximately eight hundred stud
ents participated in close contest
ed election for campus superlatives
and representatives of the MAY
Court, who will be featured in the
current yearbook.
All precincts heard from, the bal
loting showed concentrated opinion
in placing students in the honored
position. In several instances, how
ever, the lack of majority votes
necessitated another run-off.
Heading the list of superlatives
as MISS APPALACHIAN is Miss
Mavis Smith, an attractive and in
tellectual blonde from Lenoir, who
won over Margaret Fury, Bessemer
City, after the second balloting.
Though Erwin Smart, ElenboEo,
was on tour as forward of the APP
palachian basketball team at the
time of election, it made no differ
ence to his followers who selected
him as MIR. APPALACHIAN. He
was opposed in the election by Mel
vim Farley, Gulfport, Miss.
The opinion seemed unanimous
in choosing the MOST VALUABLE
BOY AND MOST VALUABLE
GIRL, Lucille Hartley, Wilkesboro,
and Dwayne Thompson, Philidel-
phia, N. Y, made the coveted posi-
tons in the first voting.
After heated campaign and one
that probably aroused more inter-
est than any other, Anne Jones,
Shelby, was voted MOST POPU-
LAR STUDENT over Bob Elliot,
Charlotte.
In conjunction with the superla-
tive, balloting was held for MAY
QUEEN and her court. In this
the students showed profound pref.
erence for the impressive, brunette
type by electing Daisy Williams,
Boone, MAY QUEEN. Runner-up
to her was Hazel Plaster, Winston
Salem, who automatically becomes
the NAID-OF-HON
A group of ten constitutes the
rest of the Queens court. Senior
! attendants: Louise Johnson, Hud-
son; Nell McSwain, Dallas, and Vir-
! ginia Nelson, Pilot Mountain; Jun
ior attendant: Annette Blanton, Lat
timore; Christine Edens, Roland
and GILLIAN Linney, Wilkesboro;
Sophomore attendants: Martha Gar
, ner, Raleigh; Louise Grayson
Trade, Tenn; Freshmen attendants
! Joy Harris, Roaring River, and Ka-
tie Jean Rowe, Newton.

THE DOUBLECROSS

CardoWan'S face turned shade
darker and he cursed TWo-Way,
who regarded him with patient
attentiveness. When Cardowan
was finished Two-Way shrugged.
"Well, you did me a favor. Now
let's get down to business. Are
those two mules up there packing
the gold?"
CardoWan nodded.
Gall right. I'll 60 away fo1
one of them. Take your choice.
It'll be a two-Way split. If you
don't agree I'll roost right here
until Shayne and his men come
down off the mountain. That
won't be very funny with men in
front of you and men behind you" ;"
Cardowa, said it was agreeable
to him, adding with a trace OF
admiration in his voice, Nothing
much gets past you, does it, Two
Wav2"
Two.Way said nothing, only
looked at him.
wouldn't you rather have the
whole share than have to split
it?"
Two-Way smiled now. "Those
are words all right, but they don't
make sense"
Throw in with me and they
might"
TwoWay was already shaking
his head. IT wouldn't trust you
in the same county with ne"
"And I wouldn't trust you in
the same territory with me if ]
could help it" Cardowan said
"We're both poison to each other
Every one Of these men thinks
that. Wouldn't it be a surprise i;
it turned out different?"
TwoWay was attentive now. He
told him to go on.

in on this. TIN make four OF us.

The Washington times., 1938-01-29

Cardowan cursed again in kind of futile fury TwoWay
had him; there doubt about it. He knew TwoWay,
knew him in person and by reputation and slippery
crook existed
He said: "We've got to parex with Two.May.n
The Washington times., 1938-01-29


Stony thought so, too; but he
added: LET me go down. If Two
Way could hide behind a rock and
cut down on you he would"
Cardowan saw the truth in this.
Between them they dug up soiled
white handkerchief to use as a
flag. "Get him out in the open, "
Cardowan said, after Stony had
waved the flag tied on the end of
his rifle barrel.
"I'll go out, too, at the same
time. If any one cuts down on me,
you can get him. And If you have
to-" he added, "gut shoot him
and leave him."
Stony smiled narrowly. yeah.
We've had a taste of that gut
Shootin' already. Kirk is lying
down there with a hole in his belly
noW."
TELLS A BIG ONE
Cardowan nodded somberly.
Stony rose in full view and he did
not draw fire. Cardowan
watched as he walked down the
trail into the boulder field and
stopped short.
From behind a close boulder
another man rose and came out to
him, but the man was not Two
Way. After a minute of parley
Stony turned and waved to him.
Cardowan rose and walked down
the trail. Two-Way was already
standing erect a hundred yards
away and the two men began to
approach each other.
Cardowan could see most of his
men now and he was careful to
walk forward out of earshot of
the nearest. Two-Way, dressed in
his neat black and his white linen
took his time in coming and his
half smile was visible a long way
off. Cardowan leaned against a
boulder and regarded him sourly
When Two-Wsy was close he
took off his hat and wiped the
sweat from the sweatband.
$50 it's you," he said easily.
Where's Poco?"
IT took care of him." Cardowan
drawled.
Two-Way stared at him. you're
a liar" he said calmly. "You
couldn't"
"He's lying with a broken back
up in one Of those canyons. Do
you see him with me?"
'Two-Way shook his head, puz-
zled. "You mean you killed
him?"
pushed him over along with his
horse"
TwoWay whistled low in ex-
clamation. WAS he drunk?"
Listen" Cardowan said flatly,
"Poco st. Vrain didn't have to be
drunk to take a beating. He was
scared. He crawled. He begged
me, pied with me, offered to throw
in with me. He was yellow and
he got what yellow coyote had
coming"
Two.Way observed dryly. "He
must be dead, then. You wouldn't t
talk that way if he was alive"
