Why New Precincts Were Not Created
The county board of elections met yesterday and appointed registrars and judges of election for the regular November election. Proposals for new precincts were tabled as new registration would be needed in both old and new precincts, and there is insufficient time for the required twenty day notice. Registration books open Friday October 2 and stay open until Saturday October 24, with registrars at polling places each Saturday for four Saturdays after the first and on Saturday October 31, the challenge day.

Buy-a-Bale movement gains momentum in Monroe stores
Hamilton and Griffin clothiers opened the ball in Monroe on Saturday, purchasing one bale at ten cents and displaying it with tags like We have bought one Have you. The Buy-a-Bale scheme expands rapidly with moral impact. The Cole Manufacturing Company of Charlotte offers to swap drills and planters for cotton at ten cents a pound, holding the cotton a year and paying the excess to the seller if prices rise, or pocketing the loss if they fall. Mrs. H. M. Barrow of Spartanburg visits Mr. W. A. Lane.
