of Forsyth County, Georgia, sub
ject to the rules and regulations
governing the Democratic Primary

As I will not get to see each one
of you in person, I take this meth
od of asking you for your vote
and influence in my behalf, for
which I will be deeply grateful.
When elected to this office I
promise to enforce all laws in a
courteous, fair and Imparital man

ment officer qualifies me to make

I am running this race alone; I
am not lined up with any person,
group or faction, for in running
alone. I believe that after I am
elected that I can better serve each
person, group or faction. As for
deputies, after I am elected, I will
talk with you people of Forsyth
County and let you help me select
one or as many as we need and
whoever they may he, I promies
you they will never be fired for
enforcing the law. Also I will not
have any deputies work up until
I run for re-election, then lay them
off until after the election, for if
they are good enough to serve
with me for three years and nine
months, they will be good enough
to serve while I am running for
office.
As your sheriff, I will work with
all other county officers you choose
so as to make Forsyth County a
safer and better place to live.
As your sheriff, I will patrol
the roads to make them safer for
you and your children to use. I
will answer all your calls at the
time I receive them and serve all
papers given me as soon as pos
sihe.
Most of you people, both young
and old, know me personally, but

old, married to Edna Mae Wheeler
Farr, have four children, three
boys and one girl. Vietor Is our
oldest, he just finished four years
in service and is now working at
an electronics place in Atlanta.
Pat, our only daughter, is married
to a very fine boy, you all know
b'm. Larrv Watson they have
three children. I still have two
small boys to raise, Rickey is 11
and Jerry is 6 years old.
As your sheriff, I not onlv want
to make the kind of sheriff tbai
your children will love, admire
and respect, but one that my own
children and grandchildren will
love, admire and respect, and in
making this kind of sheriff, I know
that 1 will not have anv trouble
from the young people of Forsyth
County and as for the people, from
other counties, either teen-agers
breaking traffic laws or criminals
breaking other laws, thev will be
better off to stay in their own
counties for ns long as I am sher
iff, they will not use our county
for any law breaking purposes.
As your sheriff, it will be my
duty to safeguard your life and
property, this I will always he
striving to do, both night and day
without permitting personal feel
Ings, prejudices or friendships to
influence my decisions.
As your sheriff, I will always
recognize mv office as a symbol
of public faith and I will accept it
as a public trust to lie held as
long as I am true to my osth of
office.
As your sheriff. I will constant
ly strive to achieve these objectives
and Heals, dedicating myself lie
fore God to mv chosen profession
that of law enforcement.
So to each Mother, Father, Hoy
or Girl who wish better law en
foreement and safety on the roads
in Forsyth County, law enforce
ment so that we may at least have
a county fair for you people out
in the county to bring your poultry,
calves and pigs to be judged. If
each of you will talk and work
for me from now until the 16th
day of March, then I promise you
tn all sincerity that I will work
for you the next four years striv
ing with all my ability to make
Forsyth County a county where
we and our children may visit our

y , *
In many rural communities and on most of our farms
this was not the case just a few years ago. Folks
wanted electricity, but couldn’t get service because
they lived “too far out” . . .
So, groups of far-sighted people, with faith in them
selves and in an idea, formed Rural Electric Systems,'
borrowed money from the REA, and built their own
lines.
And thus came a new way of life to rural America,
with great human benefits . . , great economic bene
fits, too, in the billion dollar market for goods and
services which was created . . . and the future is
bright with the prospect of an even better way of life
as the low-cost electricity from the Member-Owned,
Member-Operated Rural Electrics takes over more and
more chores on the farms, and in rural homes!
\
And the loans from REA? . . . being paid back, of
course . . . (many ahead of schedule!) . . . and with
interest! ....

In his lifetime, the natural curiosity and

creation of the electric industry.
He was granted nearly 1,100 patents. To

It’s quite fitting that Edison’s birthday
