FOR THE LEGISLATURE
HERBEKT F, SEAWELL, JR.
He Is Worthy and Well
Qualified
“With 3,000 homes ordered foreclosed for taxes in Moore County it
is time we opened our eyes to the truth; readjustment of our tax prob
lem is imperative. I am not bound to win but I am bound to remain true;
I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
No man ca^ serve two masters. I have no allegiance to any political ring
or faction, and I have room but for one soul loyalty and that is loyalty
to the people of my County and State.”—H. F. S., Jr.
The right and benefit of the vote is an
im'portant privilege. Thej voters of
Moore County ought to extend to this
young man an overwhelming vote of
confidence which he so rightfully de
serves.
Please run this advertisement for me
until after Election Day.
