THE AGREEMENT " Marshall; N. C, Juno 2nd, 1928. We, J. Will Roberts and Grover C Redmon, agree for the high man to have the nomination for Register of Deeds in the present primary. ";, ' Signed- I. WILL ROBERTS. ! , , Grover failed to sign. His groat campaign cry was to save the tax payers money. Now it seems that he did not care for tho tax payers or their m ' tereat in any way when he called a second primary at a' coat to 4 them in time, expense and taxes of more than $o,0C0. or more than the Register. of Deeds' office is worth for three yeara. It seems that his promises were made only: to deceive the people. He cared nothing, for the tax payers' interest, the office is all he wanted. All - the other defeated candidates refused to join Redmon in his call for a second primary.' Jeter P, Ramsey in his published statement in tho Aaheville Citizen of June 19th, in withdrawing front the second primary as candidate for Rep resentative made the following statement, "I do not think it fair to my opponent. : My friends who voted for me in the prat nrimarv are not obligated to xive me second favor and it is unfair to ask them to do ths, and b addition I do not feel that I should bo party to another election which will cost the county more monv." This statement is highly commendable of Mr. Ramsey anfl he has "clearly shown that he is a friend to the tax payers of Madison County Mr. RY R. Ramsey and Mr Willard C Rector vigned an agreement for the high man to win in then race for sheriff. - There were three men in the race for this of ' fice when these arentlemen aismed their agreement." .

M In the year 1918 ui my first race for Register of Deeds I was the high man in a three-cornered race and was forced to run in a second primary. My opponent received only 340 votes' in the run-off. 1 tell you friends the, people won t stand for m second primary. You will find them all the time standing for, the high man, which is absolutely proper and right. y Grover made the following statement m the presence of three gentlemen from Mars Hill that be voted Democratic ticket, two years ago and that he intended to vote it again this fU (Affidavits if called for). Thfa being the case why is Grover offering himself as a candidate -in a: Republican Primary? Hi's place would be in the Democratic party and not in the Republi can party, if he chooses to vote tbat way. In a statement in the News-Record just before the primary, he made the statement'; 1825 jijinwiafusauy voieq ana worxea ror tne nominees of tho Grand' Old Republican Partv. founded bv that ar aaA man.
