Duplin Must Vote Heavy For Henderson
On Saturday II He Is To Be Elected
Saturday is the last opportunity the people of Dup
lin County have to go to the polls and elect a Congress
man for the Third Congressional District from Duplin
County.
Duplin County needs a Congressman and so do all
of the counties from the Westernend of the district. New
Bern has held the seat in Congress for the past 42 years.
David Henderson is a fine outstanding young man
who has always done what he could for Duplin County.
He is a man at which the people of the third Congres
sional District can point their finger with pride, and say
THAT IS OUR MAN. Henderson's platform is open and
above board, and a platform that is broad enough to
stand on without falling off into mire of political entanglements.
Henderson is married to the former Mary Knowies
of Wallace, and they have three fine young boys: Mrs.
Henderson has been so busy at home taking care of her
three boys and helping David with his campaign that
she has not been able to get out and knock at every door
and shake the hand of each voter, but nevertheless she
urges you to go to the poles and vote for DAVID HEN
DERSON ON SATURDAY, JUNE 25.
David Henderson cannot get elected if the people of
Duplin County do not stick together and go to the polls
on Saturday and vote. Your vote and support is needed
When you go to the polls, take your neighbor with you
Henderson has not made a lot of rash promises that
he could not possibly keep. He has not made a lot of
promises that will raise our taxes. He has not promised
bonuses which will cost the tax payers thirty-one mil
lion dollars. He has not made promises to labor Unions.
He has promised the people of the Third Congressional
District to represent them in the best way possible, and
to always put the interests of the Third Congressional
District in first place, and to protect the interest of the
Third District from grafting, uninterested parties.

campaign attacked North Carolina's
newspaper accusing them of biased
reporting of tho campaign. Several
newspapers have taken issue witn
Lake on this.
In the first primary, which San
ford led over a field of four, San
ford polled some 82,000 more votes
than did Lake, who got into the se

"Indications are that present
trends in agriculture will continue
With the high cost of operation, in
vestments in farm machinery, lar
ger operations and new enterprises
in some instances, they all add up
to the need for more capital on
farms and that generally means
more credit", according to Eugene
Carlton of Warsaw, president of the

Carolina Beach where he attended
the annual conference of directors of
