Special Notice To The
Citizens Of Forsyth
County
This is to announce that I am a
candidate for the office of Sheriff
of Forsyth County, and my name
will he on the ballot in the Gener
al Election to bo held on Tuesday,
November 6, 1956.
Probably a large majority of the
r< listen'd voters of our county
know that I have always been i
citizen of Forsyth County. My par
ents are Mrs. Laura Brannon Bar
nett and the late Mr. Enoch Bar
nett. For the past four years I
have servtsl as Chief Deputy Sher
iff. Since I have not been heading
the Sheriff’s office, naturally all
decisions and actions of the office
have not been my responsibility;
however, I can truthfully say that
I am not afraid to stand before
the.people as a candidate, upon the
record of every action and decision
which I have personally made.
The People of our county are en
titled to know about not only the
public life, but also the personal
lile, of any candidate for such an
important office as that which I
am seeking; therefore, I present
the following facts: I do not drink;
I am a Christian land shall always
be ready to receive advice from
Christian people); I am not seeking
the office for financial gain, I am
not in debt, and shall be content
with the honest, legitimate fees of
the office, however small the in
come therefrom shall be;; I be
lieve in the type of law enforce
ment that will make our county a
desirable place In which to live and
to rear children; I do not believe
that any officer can enforce cer
tain laws and allow certain other
laws to be broken with his know
ledge and consent, and still have
the respect and cooperation of the
citizens (which Is absolutely neces
sary in order to have the desirable
county mentioned above); if there
are citizens who MUST drink whis
key (and I wish there were none)
they should buy legal, tax-paid
whiskey In the quantitltles which
may be possessed lawfully, In coun
ties where such sale Is legal
Thank God, that is not Forsyth
County:
I mention this in order to point
out that I am absolutely 100 per
cent opposed, both as a private
citizen and as a candidate for pub
lic office, to the manufacture, sale,
or transportation of Intoxicants in
any form, in our county!
You may be subjected to pro
paganda regarding support of the
individual nominated in the Pri
mary Election held last March.
My friends, this Is a race between
Mr. Bass Farr and myself for the
office of Sheriff of Forsyth Coun
ty! If it were not perfectly legal
for me to run in the General Elec
tion for this office, my name could
not be printed on the ballot. I want
to tell you this: If Mr. Farr had
received 51 percent or more of the
votes cast in the Primary Election
last March, I would not be a candi
date now’ because that would in
dicate that he was the choice of
the majority of those voting in the
primary; Actually, he received less
than 41 percent of the votes cast.
In regard to this matter of being
a "Democratic Nominee", I wish to
point out that the present United
States Senator from our neighbor
state of South Carolina, the beloved
Senator Storm Thurmond, was
elected by WRITE-IN votes! His
name was not even printed on the
ballot. The vast majority of the
Democrats of that state marked
out the name of the so-called “De
mocratic-Nominee", and “WROTE
IN" Storm Thurmond’s name, to
elect him to the highest office with
which the whole state can honor a
man. Don’t be misled by propa
ganda and fast talk, you have a
perfect right to vo’e in the Gener
al Election for whomever you be
lieve to be the best mar for Sher
iff of Forsyth County.
It is my belief that every Militia
District in our county should have
a fully authorized, bonded Deputy
Sheriff. 1 further believe that the
good, law abiding citizens of the
separate districts should have a
voice in deckling who the deputy
in their district should be. If I am
elected Sheriff of Forsyth County,
1 shall appoint as my deputy, one
man from any district for whom
5t percent or more of the register
ed voters of that district sign a
petition recommending him as a
IVputy Sheriff, and it will be pub
licly known that he is such. One
man cannot possibly be in every
district at the same time, my
friends, and this is putting it
squarely up to YOU to say whom
you would have assist me in en
forcing the law, insofar as your
own district your own community
is concerned. Will you accept
this challenge?
There will be sold before the!
After all is said and done, and
you go to the polls to vote on
November 6th., the decision which
YOU MUST make Is this: Are you
satisfied to endorse and return to
the practices carried out in the
Sheriff’s office between January 1,
1949, and September 1, 1952 (the
date when Mr. Farr resigned his
office)? If you are not, and if you
believe that I will do better,
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME.
Sincerely,
LOY BARNETT
To The People Of
Forsyth County
I hereby announce as an Inde
pendent Candidate for the office of
Chairman of the Board of Com
missioners of Roads and Revenue
of Forsyth County.
I have reached this decision due
to the many good citizens of this
county urging me to make this
race. Many of you, like myself, be
lieve that the person who holds
this high officec should do so with
an absolute majority, rather than
a bare plurality of the votes as it
was in the Democratic Primary.
I am a life-long Democrat and
expect to remain so, even though
I am forced to make this race as
an Independent.
If you see fit to vote for me,
you can rest assured that I will de
vote full time to the duties of this
office. I will cooperate with the
other Commissioners and work for
a better distribution of road work
in the county. If there are not suf
ficient funds to do all the road
work necessary, we will work out
a method so that each Militia Dis
trict will get its’ fair share. No
one or two sections will receive all
the benefits.
I will cooperate with all State
officials in securing State funds in
order to get more road work ac
complished. I further promise to
cooperate with our elected Legis
lators in working towards getting
more State funds.
Since all of you people are citi
zens. I believe that each of you
should have a voice in determin
ing the policies of your County. If
you elect me to this office, I want
you to feel free to approach me
directly about any county matter
that you are interested in. I can’t
promise to full fill all your request
but T will do my best to do what
I believe will be in the best in
terest of the county.
If elected to this office, I will
set aside one day each month to
meet with any person or groups of
people regarding any matter they
think should be acted upon by this
olfice. This is true Democracy in
Action, even though some of our
Political Bosses might not think so.
Since time will not permit me
to visit each of you personally, I
want to thank you in advance for
your vote and influence.
Sincerely,
CHARLIE YARBROUGH
