VOTE Bernard Lowery FOR House of Representatives Robeson* Scotland ? Hoke DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY 1982 Paid Political ad CAPABLE COMMITTED AND CONCERNED You Hold The Key VOTE SIDNEY LOCKS Paid Political Adv. JUNE 29. 1982 NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REP. Hoke Should Get More, Plummer Says Jimmy Plummer. a Hoke County farmer, said Tuesday Hoke County could get about $100,000 more income per year if the change of federal rules concerning protection of the red cockaded woodpecker, an endangered species, were ad hered to at Ft. Bragg. He said the change, effective November 4. 1981. redefines "harm" as "any action including habitat modification which actually kills or injures wildlife rather than the present interpretation which might be read to include habitat modification or degradation alone without further proof of death or injury." Plummer is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Hoke County commissioner in next Tues day's primary. He said failure to adhere to the change in definition is holding down harvesting of trees, and this in turn cuts down the amount paid to the state for the benefit of Hoke County public schools or public roads. The law refers to Hoke because part of the Ft. Bragg reservations lies in Hoke. The money is the 25 percent of the timber and timber products sold per fiscal year. The percentage is set by congressional legislation. Greetings, My name is James Peter kin, Jr., and / am a can didate for Sheriff of Hoke County, / would ap preciate your support in the next election. Let us discover what this letter has for our own lives, as we read it. We are not enduring persecu tions' of heathen emperors , but we are meeting on every side of the alluring temptation of that same adversary the thieves, rapists, peeping toms, murderers, drug addicts, etc., who are seeking those whom he may capitalize. There are more than enough good citizens in Hoke County who suffer because of these criminals. / for one say, "this is enough. " It is time for a change. You may haven't noticed, but there is a war going on between the work ing men and women and criminals in the streets. We are mastered by them. The criminals have organized Hoke County upon principles opposed to the law in every way. They are principles of force, greed, ambition, selfishness and pleasure. They do not value our treasures and privacy. Due to the cir cumstance we need someone thats very dependable to give us the protec tion that we so rightly deserve. / will and I can give you that protection if / am elected Sheriff of Hoke County. Citizens of Hoke County, today lives are on the auction block, sold to the highest bidder. And the criminals are bidding high. Within the past few years alone, in Hoke County, there has been rapes and murders in which no one has been convicted. The small percentage who are imprisoned are back on the streets within three or four months committing the same crime in the same neighborhood. Eighty percent of the time, money and rank is responsible for their freedom. Unfortunately, most of the time the same victims experience those terrifying nightmares again and again. / say to you, this too can be changed if / am elected as Sheriff of Hoke County. The law today ignores the North Carolina statue to avoid favoritism. The law worships people, who are successful, strong, and fortunate, and despises the man who is unfortunate. It appears that money and honor are the only things the law works for. Showing favoritism is not only a breach of manners and discourtesy to the unfortunate. It is also wrong to worship rank and insult the unfortunate. If you will support me in the upcoming election , / can and / will give you protection twenty-four hours a day. / will see to it that you will not have to worry about strangers prying around in your neighborhood , under any cir cumstances. There are as many as three to four breakins occuring in our county each day. Stolen merchandise and personal property are running into thousands and thousands of dollars each year. Items are being stolen that cannot be replaced. What makes it worse, ninety percent of the goods are not being recovered. / assure you / will change this if / am elected. / urge you to vote for a better and new way in law enforcement. / feel that I am well qualified for Sheriff of Hoke County. My experience and record for bringing the criminal to court spaaks for itself. / was a law enforcement officer for seven years and ranked Detective Sergeant. My motto was and still is: "I can do all things through Jesus Christ, who strengthens me. " I've earned an Associates Degree in Sociology. I've studied Police Science at Delhaney Institute in New York City and Sampson Technical In stitute In North Carolina. I've also attended the Criminal Justice Academy in North Carolina. I've taken a course In Police Informetion Network and I've also taken courses in Business Administration at Sandhills Community College.

CITIZENS OF HOKE COUNTY A few weeks ago David Parnell. state senate can didate from our district, dropped by seeking support for his bid to unseat incum bent senator Sam Noble. We discussed several im portant issues, educational funding in particular. Mr. Parnell seemed earnest in his support of issues that are im portant to the citizens of Hoke County, but as I told him. I had no quarrel with his opponent on these same issues. Since then the situation has changed. At this sum mer's legislative budget meetings Parnell and Noble locked horns on funding for regional education centers. Parnell emerged as the champion of all citizens con cerned over the erosion of funding for education at the state level. He not only showed considerable vision, he evinced surprising clout by directing a movement that ultimately restored full funding for this important program. Senator Noble had voted for elimination of funding for the entire pro gram. It is now clear to me that Hoke County would be well represented by David Parnell. With the primary on ly two weeks away I urge everyone to exercise their constitutional right and help elect officials that will work hard towards perpetual ex cellence in our school system and appropriate suf ficient funding to assure our children a better future!
