It is the purpose of the officers of the, associa tion to aid local people who may wish , to; build homes through the building and loan channel. A. E. White has announced that he Is a candidate for mayor of Lumber ton. This makes two candidates al ready in the field for this office, W. K. Bethune having already announced that he is In the race.
