An Election
Editorial Mount Olive
MOUNT OLIVE (10/31/07) – It’s getting down

lackluster campaign even though all the candidates have been
working hard going door to door to speak to voters. There
are many who follow these type things who believe that once
again there will be a low voter turnout in Mount Olive as
elsewhere because there is no national or gubernatorial
election and that would be terribly unfortunate. Remember
the mayoral election of 2003.
