Under the caption, “Are the home
ftres still burning? Ex-Service men
again defeated ” Roswell E. Wicker,
of Pinehurst, writes as follows:
On June 5th, the democratic party
of Moore County held a primary,
along with those of other counties of
the State, and every loyal Moore
County democrat went to the polls
and put in his vote.
I This was the ordinary thing, done
in the ordinary way, but to many
of the people, those who have not
forgotten the past, the result of the
primary has shocked them, something
has gone wrong. Can it be that
Moore County is ungrateful ? Or, was
all the shouting, singing, knitting,
praying of a few short years ago
merely a mockery? What people do
speaks much louder than what they
say; and this primary has thundered
in no uncertain tones.
Let us look back for a moment. No
braver or better men from the whole
nation took part in the world war
than those Moore County furnished.
No county was more honored by her
soliders than was Moore. She has a
world war record of which every
Moore County citizen is justly proud.
Her soldiers went out, and by their
going, and their conspicuous brav
ery have praised her. No man has
yet adequately portrayed in word or
picture the horors of war, probably
no man ever will be able to portray
the horrors of the World War; but
Moore County soldieJrs know< what
these horrors were, they faced them,
endured them, gave their utmost that
this country might be spared them,
that other Moore County men might
not have to leave their children and
women to endure them. And when
all this was going on, those powers
that were, and still are, cried into
the faces of the populace: “When
the boys come back, let them ask
what they will, and they shall have
it; they are fighting for us, nothing
they want can be too good for them.”
It takes no jogging of memory to
recall what was said. And now it
takes no unusual sight to see what
has been done.
The war is over, and by God’s
goodness most of Moore County’s sol
diers were spared. They have come
back to the county they have honor
ed to take up the load at home; and
they have asked, and asked again;
but each time the voters, either by in
difference or by the influence of some
insincere leaders, have turned a deaf
ear to them, have failed the glorious
chance to thank them for what they
have endured for humanity.
Does the Democratic p^rty not
want these young men, the vigorous
minds ?
[/ as a loyal Democrat, feel that
my party is making a serious mis
take, is suffering a real loss in re
pulsing the efforts made by the young
men to build up our community and
take a serious part in its affairs.
There were three Moore County
candidate? running in the primary
who were once soldiers, and all of
them went down " together. They
did not run because they were once
soldiers, and it is to be hoped that
the people did not vote against them
because they were. • '
Our ex-soldiers do not seek offices
they are not competent to fill. Con
sider the three ex-soldier candidates,
Hoyle, Graves, and Cole. They had
BO superiors out against them. Their
successful opponents, ea^h unable ^ to
boast actual service in the war aCTOSS
the sea, none a member of the army,
are no better than an<^ probably^'ript so
competent as, tho|ie defeated.. The
ex-soldier candidates are -fine men,
worthy of the offices they aspire to,
fully equipped to hold them; and the
people have failed them. The lamen
table fact is that Moore County has
let slip another chance to honor a
soldier.

Many Vass People Attend Funreal
Many of the people of Vass and
community attended the funeral ser
vices held in Lakeview Sunday after
noon for Mrs. Helen Mar D’Auby. who
passed away at her home, “Dogwood
Kennel,” on Friday morning after an
illness of only two days. The service
was conducted by Rev. Doug ad Mon
roe.
Mrs. D’Auby came to Lakeview
from the North many years ago, and
finding the climate to her liking, she
built a little home there, and except
for occasional visits to realtives, spent
the remaining years of her life in the
country that she considered the best in
the world. Mrs. D’Auby was « wo
man of culture and refinement. She
had traveled extensively in America
and abroad, and was a most interest
ing conversationalist. She was a
lover of the great out-of-doors, the
trees, the flowers, and the everyday
things of life, and to her they spoke
messages of beauty, which she passed
along to others from time to time
in the poems that she wrote.
In Mrs. D’Auby’s going, the school
has lost a friend, the Church a loyal
supporter, the community at large a
neighbor who was ever ready to re
spond when sympathy and help were
needed.

TO THE VOTERS OF MOORE
COUNTY
I extend my sincere thanks to my
loyal supporters for their vote on June
5 th.
After consulting as many of my
friends as possible, I have decided to
enter the second primary to be held on
SATURDAY, JULY 3rd. I trust that
all those who voted for me in the first
primary will again express their con
fidence in me by casting their ballot
in my favor on JULY 3rd. I trust
that many who were not in a position
to vote for me on June 5th, now find
themselves ready to support me.
I understand that the Clerk’s office
of Moore County pays anywhere from
$5,000 to $6,000 a year, and recogniz
ing the need for economy, I will if
nominated, petition our Representa
tive in the next General Assembly to
pass a law placing the position upon a
reasonable salary basis, and to also
require an audit of the books of my
office by the County Auditor every
thirty days.
I assure the citizens of Moore
County that if I am given the nomina
tion for Clerk of the Superior Court
on July 3rd, I will always hold my
self in readiness to serve the people
at all times and will endeavor to show
my appreciation by being worthy of
their trust.
Thanking you, I am.
Very truly yours,
HENRY L. GRAVES.
