ASHER F. JOHNSON A candidate for Re-nomination to membership on the Board of Education of Franklin County froni Din* trict No. 5, composed of Cypress Creek and Louiffyjtyrff townships. Your vote for and support of him will mean the continuation of the influence for GOOD SCHOOLS, thereby giving your boys and girls as good opportunity in life as any other boy or girl in Frank lin County or North Carolina, the continuation of ECONOMY and FAIRNESS in the conduct of the schools of Franklin County. The Records show that the over-head cost of the schools in Franklin County is far below that of our neighboring counties, and the North Carolina average teachers Salaries are $153 per year under those of South Carolina, which ranks * lower than North Carolina in Education. During my term the School system in Franklin County has pro gressed till it is equal to any in the State and stands out as a monument to the people as well as a God send to the children. The people of the County deserve the credit for this progsess more than the Board, as it was made by them upon the demand of the people, yet it | was a pleasure to be a party to it. Assuring you that your support will be appreciat ed by giving you the best of service I am .Tours faithfully, Asher F. Johnson A Sitttr to a ij uurnj Man |f-f I OU ask rac how you can get a better job. lagjj My answer is that you can't. ' All over the country are miljions of young men who, in a ^ague sort of way, want a better job: and here and there among thtra are the worth-while few who want the better job. And the millions wonder why the'few, move on, while they stand stationary year after year. You must first of all, pick out the better job?some par ticular job that is better than yours. Then train your guns on that and capture it. You tell me that you are a bookkeeper and that you earn $25 a week. I know certified public accountants who earn $10,000 a year and more. If I were a bookkeeper earning $25 :. week, I should go out for a public accountant's job^ I might die on the road, but whoever found my body would notice that my face was toward the summit. Second: You can never make anybody pay you more money until you hav: more to sell. I can advertise in newspaper to-morrow morning and have a hundred bright young men here at eight o'clock. Each one will have just as much to offer me as you have; the same two years of high school; the same experience in keeping books, the same good record. Every one of them will be willing to work for $25, and some of them for $18. The only way you can lift yourself out of that $25 class is by giving yourself an equipment that the rest of the fellows in that class do not have. In other words, by study?by education?by specialized training. Third: When you have picked out the one particular better job that you want, when yoTt~have-fitte<f yourself for it then be careful of your letter of application. Your letter is your representative. For heaven's sake, if you have in..you any spark of originality that other men have not, make your letter a tiny bit dinerentTrom the qfher letters that the other men will write: V1 >? Fourth: I receive many .letters of application. In one form or another, they usually say something like this: "I want a better job: I am thinking of getting married"; or, "I have a mother to support"; or, "I have been three years in this place without a raise and see no future." All of which interests me not at all. The only letter that I read with interest is the letter of the young man who has studied my business and who points out to me how I can make more money for my employer by employing him. " ' , Ideas are the keys that unlock-big men's doors. When you have fitted yourself for the better job, let your letter of application contain an Idea. 1 ?*? WILLIAM L. LUMPKIN Having announced my candidacy for the House of Representatives, I herewith desire to enlarge on my announcement by stating some of the legislation for which I standnnclfer which I wiU work; - I first pledge my whole-hearted support to legis lation for the relief of real estate from its present un bearable tax burdens. I pledge myself to a policy of strict and rigid econ omy in each department'of the state and county gov ernment, and a reduction in all tax expenditures, in cluding the elimination of all unnecessary offices, and the adjustment of salaries to meet the existing finan cial conditions. 1 will favor the state taking over the financial bur den of the public school system, as provided by the Constitution, thus relieving the tax burden on the counties, and thereby equalising the costs of the public schools throughout the state. 1 will favor the state maintenance and construc tion of all roads, thereby further relieving thriaxes levied by the counties on real estate for road purposes. I will seek to have stocks in foreign corporations listed for taxes in North Carolina in order that they too may pay their share of the taxes which they now completely escape. I will support constructive legislation which will reduce taxes, and will vigorously oppose any increased indebtedness for the state or county. And will fur ther, at all times, exert my influence for legislation which will in my opinion, be for the common good and best interests of the people of my county. Your Support Is Solicted William L Lumpkin |Y. $ L.
