Federal Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax Division agents who have
been busy in Horny and Bruns-

Johnny Buffkin Wins $500
I'm Merchants Association
Free Silver Dollar" Event

A steady rain failed to damp
en- the spirits or hopes off some
4'OOO ticket holders who came to
town yesterday to test their luck
IN the $1,000 giveaway sponsor
ed by the Tabor City Merchants
Association.
Inc trip proved fruitful for Is
winners but the suspense reach
ed It's peak when the final ticket
was pulled from the spinninp
wheel and Johnny Buffkin of
Route ?, Tabor City was award
ed first prize of 500 silver dol
lars.
Second and third prizes, 500
each, went to Faye Spivey.
Route ?, Tabor City, and Bertha
Fowler of Tabor City.
Twelve prizes, S25 each. went
TO Kirby Fowler, Rt. l, Tabor

The drawing brought to a
conclusion one OF the most Sue
ceSsful trade promotions ever
staged here. Smiles on the faces
of merchants were plentiful
traffic was congeSted for several
hours prior TO the drawing as
ticket holders from throughout
the county made the trek TO find
out whether or not they would
be the lucky ones to dart home
the silver dollars.
One observer noted that il
was the biggest nrowd he had
seen in Tabor City in many
years. Merchants and customers
alike were expressing hope that
the event would be repcateS at
= futul date.
The only hitch in the entire
proceeding was the weather. In
stead of holding the drawing in
the middle of the Main Street
the crowd poured into New
Farmers Warehouse for the long
cd for moment.
Four persons were PACED as
the tickets were drawn from
the mammoth box but when they
failed to appear their tickets
were laid aside and they were
disqualified.
The only requirement of the
event was that ticket holders be
present at the drawing.
I'VE certainly appreciate the
spirit of the people and hope
that they will continue to make
Tabor City their shopping cent
er. I'm only sorry every one of
the ticketholdcrS couldn't win a
prize; however, they profited by
taking advantage of the wonder
full bargains offered by some IS
merchants during the event."
said Tally H. Eddings. execu-
tlve-secretary of the Merchants
Association.
The crowd was welcomed &c

contract was awarded at that
price to E. A. Baker Co. Inc.
Burkett's charges, in line with
the boards regular schedule OF
fees, amount to $27,442 for the
first design, $4,344 for the alter.
ations, and $11,760 for super,
vising the projected work.
The planning charges are
fixed at four percent of the con
tract price. In this case, the fig.
ure of $693, ,553 was used to com
pute the fee, since that was the
low bid on the complete first
set of plans, Burkett said.
The alteration fee was com.
puted on an hourly basis, for ac.
tual time spent by various engi
neers and architects, Burkett
said.
The second design eliminated
about 1000 square feet of floor
space, two conference rooms
part of the planned parking area,
and other features.
The addition is to include 13
classrooms, library, cafeteria,

ming from constantly rising
construction costs have added
about $4,000 to architects
fees for the new addition to
Richard Montgomery High
School.
The fees for the $588,000 prof.
ect are $43,847, or about rs per
cent of the overall cost.
Usual fee for comparable jobs
is six percent, which would have
totaled about $4,000 in this case.
The difference represents extra
designing work made necessary
when the first plans had to be
altered because the low bid was
more than 100000 over the est.
mated cost.
The project is one of several
in recent months in which esti-
mates have proved substantially
wer than contractors bids.
School officials have blamed ris-
ing construction costs for much
of this estimating problem.
Original estimate for the RMEIS
addition was $588,000. However,
the low bid on the initial design
was $681, 900, or $693,553 includ-
ing several alternate items.
At this point, the school board
threw out all the bids and in
structed architect Rhees Burkett
to make some design changes
which would lower the cost.

trict results, but such an occur
renee was considered unlikely.
Total number of absentee
votes is expected to be about
500.
The election of Oxley came as
something of surprise to many
. seasoned observers of the school
scene. But there were other un-
looked-for twists in the final
tally:
o The relative ease with which
Mrs. Scharf defeated Barrow.
The latter deliberately chose to
oppose Mrs. Scharf, rather than
running -at-large, in order to place
their differences directly before
the electorate.
. The weak showing of Clarke
F. Fauver, who ran last in the
four-cornered fifth district con-
test behind Mrs. Kramer, James
l. Humphrey and Richard Cook.
Fauver has been extremely ac-
tive in county affairs and had
waged a strong campaign.
Q The heavy vote amassed by
Breimyer, who led the pack of
six at-large candidates. Pre-elec-
ton predictions had ranked How
ard, who ran second, and Mrs.
Miriam Sherwin, who placed
fourth, as the probable front
runners.
Howard finished comfortably
ahead of Ralph d. Boyd to cap
ture the second at-large seat.
Also-rans in the at-large category
included Mrs. Anne Orleans and
Dale L. West who were never
in contention.
McGraw, Mrs. Scharf and Mrs.
Kramer were elected for two
year terms. Other victorS will
serve four years.
The conservative candidates
had campaigned in general on the
pledge to cut school costs wher-
ever feasible, and to increase the
emphasis on basic academic SUBJ
jects.
The liberals stressed the need
for a rounded" education, with
something to offer children of all
bents and abilities. They accused
the conservatives of wanting
something for nothing"
1t Is expected that the new
board will back up Superin-
tendent G. Taylor Whittier in
most of his basic policies.
One Of Whittier's first pro-
posals to the new board is ex.
pected to be a plea for sub
stantial hike in teachers pay.
New and old members will sit
together in budget sessions sched-
uled for this month and next.
Although incoming members
will not be sworn into office un-
til January, it was felt they
should have some say about the
1959.60 budget with which they
will be working.
The new board will be com
posed of two government of.
ficials CHoward and Breimyer), 4,
two housewives tMrs. Scharf and
