M. George W. SANDERLIN (1888)
No man in the history of NC has made so great a reputation as a popular campaigner in so short a time as our popular and talented candidate for Auditor.
He is in demand everywhere, and the Chronicle regrets to learn of his illness at his home in Wayne Co. We learn however, that his illness is not serious and that he expects to be able to be on the stump again in twelve days.
Our Sympathies are with him in all his illness and our best wishes for his early recovery. — State Chronicle.
