Bill Moore is red-hot for office and
to accomplish his aims, or desires. is
making speeches to the negroes that
are unreasonable and unworthy the
attention of anyone He delivered
one Of these demagogue addresses
last Monday night, i'll which he said
that there had been three or four petit
tons sent to Commissioners of this
county asking q division of Edenton
township, there being more voters
than could be polled in one day. and
that the commissioners had refused to
grant the petition, till be placed the
matter before them himself. This
is a falsehood and Billy knew it to
be such when he was telling it.
There has been no petition sent the
commissioners till this year and at
once the township was dev1ded.
He also stated that the Legislature
had passed an act requiring public
roads to be worked by taxation.
This is also another lie gotten up for
the purpose of misleading the ignor-
ant. Don't lie Billy, you'll never
accomplish anything by sc doing.
