DUPL.IN, JONES AND I your VOTE AMI HIM PIT WUl ii APfftKIATH) -1 I * H K,. ; "T7r?"TOTT r.- pg DAVID T. GRIGG, JR. I An open letter to Mrs. Christine Whaley Williams, Register of I Deeds of Duplin County and a candidate for re-election I on May 4th. | ?H * * > I ... I April 26, 1968 I Dear Mrs. Williams: Since announcing my decision to be a candidate for Register of Deeds in Duplin County, 1 have had the opportunity to meet and talk with hundreds of qualified I voters in Duplin County. As a result of meeting and H talking with these people, I have been motivated to ask you the following questions, questions which I am I sure you will welcome the opportunity to answer in I an open statement to the public. First, I am proud of the progress that Duplin I County has made under the leadership of Its elective and appointive officers of which the Register of Deeds I is no exception. Mrs. Williams, I quote you in your leaflet dated April 25, 1968, "We must tell it like it is. we most . recognise the blunt tools of these who try to divert attention from the )ob we are doing." unquote. You make much reference tp your office staff. I May I remind you that the voters of Duplin County do not question the qualifications, competency or dedica tion of these employees, nor are these employees up I for re-clection or re-appointment. In fact, they are to be commended for the fine service they are rendering. However, it would appear that you would have the voters believe that you are indespensible as Register of Deeds, and that Uie Office of Register of Deeds [ along with its important records would degenerate to that of a dreadfully mangled and putrefied condition, I were you not re-elected to this office. Is this attitude of mind on your part an indictment against the In tegrity of the voters of Duplin County to elect a successor to your tenure of office on May 4th? ? Mrs. Williams, you further appear to be trying to | confuse the voters by making reference to the handling I of many of the detail procedures of the office and the - I purchase of modern equipment in order to keep pace [ with the changing times. Was it not mandatory and expected of you during your tenure of office that you J become familiar with the laws and procedures effect I ing your office? Were ydu not well paid with tax payer's money for your service? if this be true, why I should the voters feel obligated to keep you in office ? ? for the next 13 years, or to the age of retirement? Mrs. Williams, in your campaign literature dated April 25, 1968 you quote in part a letter of congratula t "?* V\i*??'. '.V-Sr . /? ''??$$* J"-"'v, f j-V 'i . v ?. 5s'? .."''?****** 1 K - ? i ? -' *'*{-}>.$< \*'?'1 ? y tions and appreciation to the Chairman of our ^oa of Commissioners for services rendered by your office. I I ask you if you did not personally request the Attorney and Counselor at Law from Greensboro, N. C. to ? write this letter to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners so that you might use it for the purpose of promoting your political prestige? Mrs. Williams, I am informed that your office I charges the taxpayers 50c for each photostatic copy or page of written material prepared on the new copying I equipment which you have so often referred to. 1 ask you a direct question, is it true that a comparative investigation would rtveal that your campaign litera ture was prepared on this machine at the expense of the taxpayers of Duplin County? And were the mem bers of your staff USED to help prepare this literature j for your campaign? Mrs. Williams, a statement would he well In order at this time as to the circumstances surrounding the recent termination of your sendees as Clerk to the := Board of County Commissioners. Again, I quote your own statement, "We must tell j it like it is, we must recognize the blunt tools of those who try to divert attention from the job we are doing," Reference is made in your campaign literature to your untiring devotion to your family and your county, all of which appears to be somewhat conflicting. Certain ly you should be able to care for your family on a salary of 97,920.00 per year, however I ask you if you and your husband have not been separated for quite sometime, and will the public records of the Duplin County Welfare Department show that you have during recent months shifted a major portion of your family financial responsibility to the Taxpayers of Duplin County? And is it true that the unusual circumstances surrounding the welfare case in question warrants a full scale investigation by County, State and Federal Agencies? These questions have been asked of you in the hope that the May 4th voters will be able to make the right I choice of a candidate to serve as their Register of Deeds. The voters of Duplin County await your reply! I DAVID T. GRIGG, JR. I Candidate for Register of Deeds I r? ' ? ?' of Duplin County ? j ?' I
