The friends of Oscar H. Phillips
of Providence Township, are urg

commissioner. After hesitating
for sometime Mr. Phillips has
deoided to announce. Mr. Phil
lips is a worthy young man, a
graduate of Trinity College of
Durham, and aleo A and M. at
Raleigh. Mr. Phillips is well
qualified for serving the people as
a commissioner and it behoves us
to go to the primaries and eleot
him. We of the south' side of
Providence Township haye never
been represented by a commis

elect him, not only with Dsmoora
