While the matter of county prid> all right, there's no better requisite to the credit of any man than a clean, honest and able record. And for that reason the writer feels that he would be "Just us zealous in his support of Mr. Bickett. were he to hail from -Edgecombe or Pasquotank. The truth of the whole matter Is expressed In his well known slogan, "The Record ~flT The Reason." Rpveoaers Bald Still In Frank II* County.
