Neighbors Think of Him
In the Spartanburg city ward in which
James F. Byrnes resides he received, in the
first primary, 897 votes against 91 cast for.
Senator Blease.
In Aiken city, where Mr. Byrnes for
merly resided, he receivM992^v^^ against
176 for Senator Blease.
THESE FIGURES ARE CONVINCING
Byrnes has conducted a clean and clear-
cut campaign, confining himself to the is
sues, and has made
furnish one of the best avenue.s to suc
cess ,in the farm board’s plans.
Not only is the budget for this year
in exten.sion work more extensive as
I regard.H allotment of federal funds, |
but every .state is expected to increase]
its expenditure. So insistent has the,
demand become that a special $1,00,-
000 appropriation was asked of con-1
gresa and was granted just before the
.session ended. Thi.s hring.s the federal
ex[H*nditure for the work to more than ■
$4.000,(K)0 for the fi.seal year ju.st l>e-j
ginning. VV’ith the state funds added,
the total for the country will not be,
far from $10,000,000.
Constructive Suggestions For
Agricultural Relief in the
Present Crisis
He possesses the experience and the
pi'oven ability in Congress to successfully
carry out his program as outlined and his
highest ambition is service to the state and
nation.
Byrnes is profoundly grateful to the
people for the magnificent support re
ceived by him in the first primary, and
urges a full vote in the second primary
next Tuesday. If the people turn out and
express themselves at the ballot box—

over wYiich branch of the service shall

president has been asked to intervene
to settle the mstter and Charles Lind
bergh has been called in as youthful
arbiter. The fight is of long standing,
but was renewed recently when the
army discovered that the navy has
equipped planes for fighting as well
as for scouting in Hawaii and Pana

air forces shall do the fighting from
land, and the navy has been permitted

a distinction is impossible, asking

may not show’ in the report card, but it is going to tell'

Are there enough dresses to insure a neat appearance
day after day? Has the boy enough w'ash suits to meet
the hard tests of the playground? Wouldn’t more un
derwear simplify matters? Wouldn’t an extra pair of
