M. L. CARTER FOR SUPERVISOR
The official announcement of Mr. M.L. Carter of Vancleave for the office of member of the board of supervisors from district No. 5 appears in this issue.
Mr. Carter is a native of Vancleave and was reared in that vicinity. His father, now in the seventy-ninth year of his age, is also practically a life-long resident of the same vicinity and is one of the best known and highly respected of its residents. Mr. Carter has been and is prominently identified with the material and moral progress of his community and is widely connected throughout the territory.
Mr. M.L. Carter went into the logging and timber business in early young manhood and has followed it in some one of its phases as his life's work. Something over a year ago he engaged in the turpentine business with Mr. J.E. Lockard of Vancleave, but this year has purchased the interest of his former partner. For two years, some years ago, while a resident of McHenry, Miss., he served the people there as marshal and tax collector, being brought out and elected by the people themselves. That is the only political office Mr. Carter has ever held or aspired to, but he has always been actively identified with the working democrats of his community and county. His father before him was a prominent figure in the trying reconstruction days.
Mr. Carter married a Jackson county young lady and his little family consists of three bright sons. His friends point to the fact that he has made a tender and generous husband and is an appreciative and dutiful son, and call attention to the manner in which he today solicitously caring for and looking after the welfare of his aged father, which facts, they say, prove a tendency toward minuteness of attention to detail of duty and welfare of other people.
