A Statement To l he Public By W. T. CULPEPPER ? To T2i? People of Pasquotank County and The Eastern District: The good people of Pasquotank County saw fit in June 1932 ' to nominate me 'for Representative of Pasquotank County, the | highest honor any County couid confer upon anyone, realizing as I do ?nd the experience that I hud in the 1933 Legislature it is a big if a fellow tries to do his duty to serve the people of his County in that capacity. And I would like to state here that the people of Pasquotank gave me the heartiest support all the way through my term of office and I tried mighty hard to do my duty : not cnly to Pasquotank County but to see the needs of the entire Eastern District and worked with that aim in mind. On account \ , :f the wonderful support received in 1933 I decided again to offer ? myself as a candidate for the 1935 Legislature. I feel that I had ! the hearty support of the people in Pasquotank and nothing could ? given me greater pleasure than to have gone back to the Legis | lature and served my people in 1935. On May 18:h I was appointed by Congressman Lindsay C. j War;en. Postmaster at Elizaoeth City which is considered to be i . ? one cf the highest appointments in the First District and being ?" that I was the fortunate one to get this appointment, which ap ? pcintmen: has been confirmed by the United States Senate and i the President, it becomes necessary, therefore, that I withdraw a; a candidate for Representative in Pasquotank County from the Primary' to be heid June 2nd. As it now and always has been the height of my ambition to serve the people in the community which I have lived ail of my days, to the best interest that I know how and I hope that my administration as Postmaster at Elizabeth j ? 0.ty will end. when my time shail come to get out, with as good I *.11 c: the people and in the same spirit which the General Public accepted my appointment. I know that the Government owns a wonderful building locat ; ed on a beautiful spot placed here to serve its people and the Government is its people and it will te my purpose to see that the people who are served by this Office will be to the best of my .detttiy. and with the cooperation and help tf the employees, get the service that the people are entitled to. And I do hope that I will be able to perform the duties of this OfTice acceptable to the Public and a credit to the community. . _ Again I want to thank each and everyone of you for your loyal support and hope that I can continue to keep your goodwill. r ? Yours for Service. May 30. 1934. W. T. CULPEPPER. Believing that Results of the Operation | of the General Sales Tax has been ad vantageous to Eastern North Carolina: We solocit your support of this Measure J ? ;" * for the following reasons: lirst: It has relieved the Tax liurdcned I.nnd Own ers of Kastern North Carolina, which would I not have hecn the ease luul not the Sales Tax l?een ojK'rativo; Kastern C.arolina is ul most entirely rural and land values have got tt> he restored before we can ever have a [ prosperous section. Second: It lias made ft jjossihle to keep every school in North C.arolina running for the full eight months term, which would not have hcen the ease had the Sales Tax not heen oper ative. Your child and every other child in the State, no matter how far he lives from a town has the same opportunity that the child in the largest city in the state has. Third: It saved the Credit of the State and every un biased Citizen knows this. Why was it then that the North Carolina hanks didn't want || any North Carolina paper at any rate of in- | teres t. when now less than twelve months ! since the Sab's Tax went into operation, they are begging for this paper at a very low rate of interest? The fact that the Credit of tIn state is A-l gives every citizen a certain amount of pride in his State that nothing else does. I Fourth: It has marie it possible for every citizen to he a part of his State (iovernment and he ! feels lietter for it. He feels that he is | paying his share of the cost of State (iov ernment. For these reasons anri many others, we are appeal ing to the Citizens of Kastern North Carolina to sup port the Sales Tax for another Bieiinium at least.

Jr.. one of J the Trustees, who points out that; I the law under which this newspaper I ?suggested last week that the school! trustees might be guilty of a mis-| I demeanor was repealed by the 1923.

Public Laws of 1915, part of' , an act relating to the school trustees I of the City of Elizabeth City. It! | said: "That no person who is related i to any member cf the beard ?f I trusters of said graded school to j a degree that would disqualify one to serve as a jurcr shall be clegible j to employment as teacher in said J graded school.

What thc; .ate Mr Cohce.Ts motive or pur i;a ?' '"Juld have been in repealing this seemingly sensible law is not apparent. Incidentally, Mr. LeRoy is a! cousin and not a brother of Miss Virginia LeRoy, who is to teach here next year, as was stated in last wreks's news article, and Mr. Le Roy was not present when the Board ?approved her application.
