A town that has been without a' mayor, commissioners, or any governing body for three years is Matthews, ejeven miles from Charlotte, on the Seaboard Air Line, with a population of 360 people. The? town is due to have an election every two years, but when the time cames a little more than three years ago to ask the board of commissioners of Mecklenburg county to call a nelection, the appliction for election was not made in time to allow the election to be held in May of that year. So it was ceferred until another two-year period had elapsed. "When the next time for election came around," said a man from Matthews the other day, "we were too bysy trying to lick the Germans to take any interest in an election. So we just let it go by.

Now, we haven's anjr mayor or commissioners because they were not re-elected." The last election in Matthews, which was about six years ago, made W. L. Hood mayor and E. A. Funderburk, J.
