Politics In Full Swing BAKERSVILLE, N. C. Polit-1 ical activity has started to boil in this Western North Carolina Republican stronghold with the sheriff's race and the post of county accountant grabbing the limelight. Sheriff Sam Gouge is seeking his fifth four- year term while J. Dont Street is attempting to regain the county accountant's post which he held for many years.

Street was defeated for the office in the last election by Hazen Ledford who is seeking reelection. Republican primary will be held May 26. Sheriff Gouge and Brownlow (Luther) Moffitt, according to leading political observers, are the two top men in the sheriff's race. Other candidates seeking the office are Clarence Rathbone and G. P.

Taylor. Moffitt, a newcomer in the political field, is attempting to unseat Gouge on an argument that 16 years is long enough for anyone to hold office. Moffitt, a former car salesman, said, if elected, he will enforce the laws on a fair and impartial basis. Other offices to be filled and candidates entering the primary are: Tax Collector Paul Henline, incumbent, and Frank Garland. Clerk of the Court Robert Greene, incumbent, and Guy Snyder, Register of Deeds Bill Masters, incumbent, and Glenn Whitson.

County Commissioners J. E. Peterson, Robert Jenkins and J. M. Gouge, incumbents; W.

E-T Gets $49,000 For Fish Management Call (Continued From Page 1, Col. 2) make the state constitution similar to the federal constitution.

One of the other sections of the constitution dealing with the legislative department includes provisions on election of officers. vacancies, limitation upon power of adjournment, and compensation of members. Meanwhile, in other action dealing with reapportionment, a federal 1 judge at Cincinnati was appointed yesterday to complete a three-judge court which will be asked to hear the Tennessee reapportionment case. Paul C. Weick of the U.S.

Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals was named by Judge Shackelford Miller chief of the appellate court. Weick will serve on the special panel with U.S, Dist. Judges William E. Miller of Nashville and Marion S. Boyd of Memphis, succeeding the late Circuit Court Judge John D.

Martin of Memphis. Martin died after the court originally heard the case in 1959 and ruled it had no jurisdiction in the reapportionment lawsuit. Judge Miller, who requested that the vacancy on the special court be filled, said Tuesday the court should consider ex motion to declare Tennessee's 1901 apportionment act unconstitutional. The special court on or before June 11 to hear the motion and questions involved, then later decide to dissolve for lack of jurisdiction and allow Miller to rule on the motion and hear the case. The motion will be made by lawyers for a group of urban voters who claim their rights of representation have been violated by failure of the General Assembly to reapportion itself every years as required the Tennessee Constitution.

There has been no reapportionment since 1901. Another development on the reapportionment front Wednesday was the issuance of a call by the Davidson County legislative delegation for a meeting of urban lawmakers and some rural representatives May 21. The Davidson group hopes to reach agreement with other urban delegations on a reapportionment proposal prior to the opening of a special legislative session May 29.

No bond has been set. At police headquarters, Joe Smithdeal, Hack's brother, told two newsmen: "I don't think they've gotten along for a long time. Of course, I don't know much about it." After the shooting, hundreds of persons swarmed about the scene. As the victim was taken away by an ambulance one person commented: "I thought it was just a firecracker." Another person, who was inside the warehouse at the of the shooting, said that the entertainers thought that everyone was just "having a good time." 4 Captured, Charged In Beating ERWIN Four of five men accused of beating a restaurant operator here Wednesday night were apprehended after a 75-mile-per-hour chase across the North Carolina line.
