and neighbor of E. C. Beddingield | de-
sire to give few reasons why he should
be nominated for Corporation Commits
sioner He comes from good family
which has beer identified with the best
interests of North Carolina since its
earliest settlement. His great grand
father was in Washingtons army His
grandfather served in the War of 1912,
and his father followed Lee and Jackson
and lost his life in the service of the
Confederacy. His widowed mother being
left with an infant son had anything but
bright future before her. He was
cared for by an uncle until he was old
enough to care for himself and his
mother. At an early age he entered the
arena of life with but limited means
with which to earn his daily bread. His
first venture was at farming, and many
times have / seen this man blowing a
mule that would not sell for more than
twenty dollars. By his frugality, per-
severance and indomitable courage he
has become one of Wake county's best
farmers.
At the repeated requests of friends who
knew his ability. his practical knowledge
of affairs and his learning, which he
acquired by diligently applying himself
