Judge Wright
Files
For Re-Election
? District Court Judge Paul Wright
has filed for Superior Court Judge
ship of Wayne, Lenoir and Greene
counties by paying his $503 filing fee
in Raleigh with Alex Brock of the
State Board of Elections.
In filing, Judge Wright issued this
statement:
"Justice for people and their prob
lems in a free country is not just a
matter of statistics and numbers. If it
were, any bureaucrat with a com
puter and a rubber stamp could
administer it, as they do in some
countries without our constitution
and jury system.
A good trial judge must not only
wear a black robe and have a law
degree but most importantly, he
must have the intestinal fortitude to
stand up, in a polite way, to the most
powerful and influential litigants in
our society and still rule according to
our constitution and our law.
Of course, if 1 am elected by the
good people of Wayne, Lenoir and
Green counties, I will continue to
stand firm on my belief that
criminals repay the victims of their
crimes."

When Ir GomesTo Credit Cards,
MostBanks StackThe Deck.
A lot of banks have recently decided
that they must charge you $18 a year just for
the privilege of carrying their credit cards.
Then, to add insult to injury, many of them
have begun charging an annual fee as well
on their automatic teller cards
Some try to soften the blow by offer
ing extensive lines of credit, with an interest
rate tied to the bank s "prime" Of course,
you have to run up a huge balance on the
card before you qualify for that "prime" rate.
But no matter what the deal, almost
every bank in the state is charging you $18. ..
just to cany their card.
At First Gteens Bank, we have a
very simple altemanve
? Our MasterCard /VISA annual fee
is just$12 a year. That's a savings of 33% I
over most of our competitors. i
Db you have to sign up for some i

Ls there some sort of string attached
to this low annual fee' Yes!
But even the "stnng" is prcnv simple:
you have to have a good, existing credit history.
And that's all there is to it
Now we'd be the first to admit that 1
saving $6 a year is perhaps not a big deal to I
most people. It may not be enough to per- I
suade great bunches of people to pick up <
and switch bonks But we might auietly sug- i
gest that there's more represented here than
just a $6 savings on a credit card. i
And that's the philosophy of the )
bank behind it ?????m??
A bank that demonstrates its con
cern in ways that deliver value and financial
well-being to its customers
A hank that above all is dedicated to
North Carolina and its people ..first, last,
and always
Tnat's why, even though First
?teens is far from being the state s largest
bank, we have more branches throughout
this state than any other It's also why- we're
arte of the strongest, soundest banks in the

So, if you find lower credit card tees
