FOR SHERIFF BLAIR
(Political Advertising)
I do not mean that I have been
asked by him or any other to write
for any paper. But I, along with
hundreds of others, both men and
women, feel that enough cannot be
said for Sheriff Blair, when we know
what danger has been confronted by
him for the last six years and how
many lonely walks he has made and
at late of hours of the night, trying
to do what he was sworn in to do, and
to make us feel that our homes were
safe and our children being protect
ed by the breaking up of any violation
of the law.
I believe that he would arrest you
or me just as quickly, if he knew
we were breakers of the law, as he
i would the most disreputable character
in the county. And we know that he
has hired two good men to stay in 1
the office and pays them out of his I
salary to help keep his boo*vs
straight.
Now, I believe that there are e
nough Christian men and women to
go to the primary, June the sth, to
nominate him again, since he says he
has received enough honor politically
but lots of good men and women have
urged him to come out and do not
beiieve he will do his duty if he does
not serve again.
Now, I wish to say this and I be
lieve you will agree with me, that
we have never had his equal as a
sheriff, and I do not believe any per
son, white or black, can truthfully
say he has ever mistreated him, as a
sheriff. I have never heard him say
one word against any person or any
candidate; and I do not personally
know a thing against any man now
out for office in this county, they have
all been nice to me, but I just be
lieve Sheriff Blair owes us more time
and we v/ho claim to be Christians
owe it to him to cast our votes June
5 for him.
Do you agree with me?

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1926
GRADY COMES TO FRONT
Makes. Strong Statement of Hi:
Claims for Chatham Support in
His Race for Solicitorship
To the Democracy of
Chatham County:
I am a candidate for the position
o* Solicitor of the Fourth Judicial
District. I will appreciate your sup
port in the primary on Saturday, June
sth, 1926.
R was my privilege to read law at
Wake Forest College and Washington
and Lee University. I received my
license to practice law from our Su
preme Court in 1911 and since that
time have been engaged in the active
practice of my profession. I have
had legislative experience in both
oranches of our Legislature and at
the last session of our State Senate
I had the honor to serve as Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee No.
1. This committee was composed of
a select number of lawyers who were
members of the senate and the chair
manship of the committee has always
been considered as a distinct com
pliment to the lawyer appointed to
preside over that body.
My home county of Johnston has
not had any of the Judicial officers for
more than twenty years and our peo
ple feel that it is now time for the
recognition of our county.
I was born in Wayne County and
later moved to Johnston. These two
counties form a Senatorial District
and it has been my privilege to rep
resent this district in the State Sen
ate. I have been in close touch with
the people of these two counties all
my life and as these are the larg*est
counties in the district I will pile up
an overwhelming majority in these
counties.
It is an assured fact that I shall
win in the coming primary, but my
joy in the victory would be materially
lessened if I felt that I did not have
the support and endorsement of the
good people of Chatham. I have many
very close personal friends in Chat
ham and they will be glad to tell
anyone who does not know me what
my qualifications are. It is my pur
pose to see as many of your people
as I can but the district is large and
the time is limited and if I do not
have the pleasure of seeing all of you
personally please accept this an
nouncement as a personal presenta
tion of my candidacy to you and be
assured that when I shall assume the
duties as your prosecuting officer that
I shall try to discharge those duties
courteously, efficiently and conscien
tiously to the very best of my ability.
I shall need your support after I am
elected as well as before and I shall
want you to feel free to come to see
me and to co-operate with me when
I shall assume the duties of the office,
if our interest and assistance will be
welcomed and with it the Solicitors
office will function for the best inter
ests and welfare of all the people.
Sincerely,
Kenly, N. C. PAUL D. GRADY.

of Kittrell College gave a nice and
instructive talk to the audience.
On Wednesday P. M. Mr. Holloway,
president of the Brick School, En

The outstanding point in his lecture
was that when a parent fails to make
his boy attend school—the boy needs
a Daddy.
A play, “The Last Half-Day of a
Rural School,” was given to the
hearty enjoyment of all present.
The school this year has been verj
successful, the community mothers es
