TO THE CITIZENS
OF LAURENS COUNTY:
Our Election Returns
The Chronicle, ably assisted by
<everal friends, worked hard and
fast Tuesday night to give our au
dience the county election returns.
The results eame in fast and were
.ahnounced as received over our
' broadcasting system." Early in
the evening 36 of the boxes had
been reported, the delay being due
to the considerable amount of time
required to count the large Lau
rens, Clinton and Joanna boxes.

and which decided the outcome of

In the .race for sheriff and the

of the great blessings it has receiv

Deal. The South’s greatest strides
during the past twenty years, he
declared, has been ,due to Demo

was an effort to whip Southern
Democratic leaders in line in the
approaching election. He told of
the “blessings" the South has re
ceived. he refused of course, to
mention the harm the_Fair Deal
has- done, spirituaTT moral, ideol
ogical and political.
