A CARD.
To the Voters of Gaston County:
After a full ar earnest consider
ation from every view-point my
self, friends and supporters and the
public' interests with which I have
been entrusted i:r several years I
have decided that I owe it to, myself
not to "enter the primaries for re
election as a commissioner of Gas
ton county. . In 'reaching auch de
cision I am not forgetful of the
great, debt of gratitude that' I owe
to : my many staunch and lora."
friends over the county who have
unceasingly given me their support,
encouragement and sympathy, there
by enabling and Inspiring me to dis
charge the arduous duties encum
bent upon me. To these I have felt -under
obligation to consider care
fully and well the step that I deem '
best to take.
Again it is my humble opinion
that it Is to the highest interests of
the county that young and vigorous
men should he elected to the board
of : county commissioners.: ' Mr.
Frank McArver has offered himself
in the primaries as a candidate for
commissioner to represent Gastonia
township. ; Such; being tree T can
but confidently and heartily recom
mend and support him for. election,
believing, as I do, that he possesses
in large measure the qualities that
will insure to the county a faithful
and efficient eervice. I ask for him
the warm support of my friends.
With a deep sense of the obligation
'due the people of the county for the .
honors and trust conferred, apon me
