Martin Martin May Run Unopposed RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Superior Court Judge Harry I Martin of Asheville apparently will have no opposition in November in his bid for the seat on the state Court of Appeals currently held by Judge David Britt. Todd Reese, executive director of the state Republican Party, said Monday the party could not find anyone to oppose Martin in November. Tuesday is the deadline for getting candidates on the general election ballot. Gov.

Jim Hunt appointed Martin July 29 to replace Britt, who will move to the state Supreme Court in September to replace retiring Justice I. Beverly Lake. Britt won the Democratic nomination in May for Lake's seat and is unopposed in November. Lake is retiring Sept. 1 and will teach law at Campbell College Law School.

Because Hunt's appointment of Martin was made more than 30 days before the November election, Martin must be elected to stay on the bench for the next term. Three men were in Buncombe County Jail Monday night in lieu of $50,000 bond each after they were arrested early Monday morning in connection with armed robbery of an Erwin Hills convenience store, the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department reported.

Nor It won't get your laundry any cleaner. Neither will an 8am load. Now, either time could be inconvenient for you, but someday, it may make a difference in your energy bill. In fact, everything you can do to cut down on the energy you use between 10am and 10pm will help. Because that's our Summer "Peak Load' period, the time when the demand for energy is the greatest.

And we must have enough energy to meet that demand, no matter how high it gets. So try to get by with less air conditioning during the day. Try to take showers, wash clothes and dishes before 10 am or after 10 pm. Conserve energy every way you can. Because the more you get out of your energy dollar, the more we can get out of ours.

And the less our bills will have to go up later on. Carolina Power Light.
