Epworth church at Goldville has re
cently been selected as one of the
best working churches among three
hundred and sixty churches of the
conference. The following paragraph
is quoted from a Iptter to the pastor
from the director of the board of
Christian education:
Som«\ time ago .we wrota your, con?.
ference executive secretary, asking
that he send us the names of six
small churches in hia conference tKat
are doing good work. We explained
that by “good work” we meant that
the churches teally affect \he lives
of the people of the community^ I
want to congratulate you upon the
fact that he sent us the name of I^-

IN REGARD TO MULE RACE AT
HORSE SHOW
Due to conflicting instructions, Mr.
Wash M. Pitts, who held t substantial
Iirad in the mule race at' the horse
show 'Friday, stopped his mule at
the gate and thereby allowed the oth
er contestants to pass him. I am con
fident that Mr.'Fitta could have and
would have won handily had he not
misunderstood tbe.stoi^ttg ^ht

The unfortunate situation in regard to the ballota in tke Solicitor's race in Newbeiry County
is to be regretted. I feel that my position in asking the State Democratic Executive Committee
to Ihrpw. fAit.-the first ejection.-and order a aew eleetionj whieh*^ was deney is only fair' anchfast;
I want to assure the voters of the Eighth Circuit that it has been ray policy in the past and
it will be my policy in the. future to so conduct myself. I offer upon my own ability and my
competency to serve the people of this Circuit as Solicitor and upon^that basis alone I ask your
support.
In the first primary-althoogh opposed by two lawyers from Greenwood, one from Newberry,
and one from Laurens, through the support given me by my friends thronghont the circuit I was
able to lead the field in Abbeville and Greenwood add run second in Newberry and Laurens.
. It is true that Green#Dod has had the Judgeship for 13 years, not 15 years, but the present
incumbent practiced law in Lanrens for over 20 years befbre his appointment and is regarded
almost, if hot quite, as much of a Laurens as a-^reenwood man.
Laurens has had the Solieitorship for 32 years In h democratic country like ours, it isjonly
fair that it now be moved to some other part ^ the circuit.
