Cuff Notes
— AiumUif by —
JOE WOOSLEY
Brief notes: Paul Braden,
formerly of Sulphur Springs,
recently did something few
people have done. He voted in
his 18th presidental election ...
He will be 99 Nov. 12 and he
voted in his first presidental
election in 1904 when
Republican Teddy Roosevelt
was elected ... He cast his first
ballot in 1902 ... He has missed
voting in only two general
elections, once when he was ill
and another time when he was
out of his home county... He left
Sulphur Springs in 1971 and has
been residing in the Whispering
Pines Nursing Home at Winn-
sboro since that time... Mooney
Enlow, who is restoring an old
home on College Street, found
some interesting newspapers
under the carpets where they
had been placed for insulation
purposes. The papers were
from the 1939 era and Enlow
was disappointed when he read
a story about the Carnation
basketball team playing and his
name wasn’t mentioned ... “I
must have been side,” he said,
"or I would have been in the
game.” ... Among the players
were Pos Long and Roy Roger,
Enlow noted... He also said the
grocery prices in 1939 didn’t
compare with today’s bargains.
More notes: Election officials
report that there are very few
voters who write notes on their
ballots, but there are exceptions
... One note writer expressed his
opposition to the four
presidential candidates by
writing: “Not one of the four is
worthy” and scratched ail of
their names, but voted the
remainder of the ticket... Bullet
votes — those for a single
candidate — are not unusual in
city and school elections, but
seldom is this method used in
general elections ... But one
caller said he counted one
“bullet” for President Carter,
with all of the other names on
the ballot skipped ... Many
voters marked the box for a
straight party ticket, then
skipped about to check can-
didates in both parties... In this
case, the straight indication is
ignored and checked candidates
are given their votes... Veteran
election workers admitted the
ballot in the Tuesday election
was one of the hardest to count
in years.
Last notes: Keith Moreland,
visiting in Sulphur Springs
during the week, recounted
some of his thoughts about the
recent World Series ... The
versatile young 26-year-old
player with the World Cham-
pion Philadelphia Phillies said
he realized a goal many, many
baseball players never attain —
perform in a World Series... He
recalled talking with the great
Ernie Banks, who performed
brilliantly with the Chicago
Cubs for 18 seasons and won all
kinds of honors. Banks
regretted never getting to play
in a aeries... Moreland, who hit
over .300 during the regular
season, started 40 games as a
backup catcher to Bob Boone
and also performed in others
both in tte infield and outfield
... “They knew I could hit,”
Moreland said, "but I proved to
myself that I can (day in three
