Dear Sir.' I beg to advise that I have talked with nearly every voter in this precinct and every one with whom I have talked has expressed his determination to vote AGAINST the "Recorder's Court" and FOR "Farm Life School." For my part I am with the vot ers as I believe the "Recorder's Court" will prove an expensive proposition to the people without any ma terial benefits, and the "Farm Life School" will prove a great benefit to the people of Craven County, ESPE CIALLY THE FARMERS. Very truly, W. B. H. BLANDFORD, Mayor of Dover, N. C. Cove City, N. C, April 25, 1911. Editor THE SUN: In regard to the "Special County Court" I wish to say that everybody to a man is against it. There may be some that will vote for it, but I can't name them. I will say all are against Recorder's Court. Yours very respectfully, m J. S. ROBINSON, Mayor Cove City.
