Other officers named are: Earle Blakely, vice-president; and Bu-1 ford Glenn, secretarv-treasurer. - regularly and make periodicaL re - ports of their conduct. Warrants charging housebreaking and grand larceny were taken out against the others, one of them 22 years old and one already out on probation, the sheriff said. The warrants charged that the youngsters broke into the store of Charlton Benjamin, Jr., between here and Sandy Springs church on July 21, at which time they re ceived a small amount of cash and several varied merchandise items, valued at about $50. Would-be robbers recently at tempted to break in the J. C. Todd Grocery building here by breaking the skylight Telephone opera tors saw the intruders on top of the building and called the pofice department. When, the officers ar rived the parties had fled, leaving a rope, hack-saw and other tools on the roof. The Academy and Providence schools were recently entered also, through windows. The same boys who robbed Beniamin's store were thought to have been the ones en tering the two school buildings, the sheriff said. Too many different kinds of tires on a car the boys used in getting to and away from the store fur nished a clue for officers and prov ed their downfall, the sheriff said. Ware Shoals Leads In Carolina League Cellar - dwelling Ninety-Six checked Ware Shoals’ pennant driving Reigels at Ware Shoals Tuesday night 4-2 behind the air tight pitching of Claude Voiselle. The lead of Ware Shoals was there by cut to one game and a half as Joanna beat Clinton 1-3. The Reigels never could get started against the big righthander, Voi selle. Joanna rallied here behind Roy Peeler's two home run blasts to lower Clinton 4-3, and move closer to the league’s leader, Ware Shoals. Peeler not only turned in a five-hit pitching performance but his con secutive homers accounted for Jo anna's first three runs. Guy Pra ter had to save Peeler from fur ther trouble, however, as he un tied a 3-3 game with a'single scor ing Farmer in the eighth. Ninety Six and Clinton were scheduled to play here last night. Friday Ninety-Six will play Jo anna at Joanna. Clinton will meet Ware Shoals there Saturday, which is the official closing date for the season, will find Joanna at Ninety-Six and Ware Shoals at Clinton.

Columbia, August) 11.—Petitions for a slate of independent South Carolina electors pledged to Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Republi can candidate, are now in circula tion. A group calling itself ---“South Carolinians for Eisenhower,” and headed b y Columbia attorney pouglas McKay, is authoring the petition. McKay’s group hopes to draw a substantial vote for the Republican candidate, a vote he says would not be cast for the State Republican party ticket State election law requires that 10,000 voters petition the secretary of state in order to get their candi dates on the state’s new single se cret ballot Backers of this independent movement will meet here Wednes day afternoon to perfect plans for circulating the petitions. Each petition has places for 25 signatures, and the signer’s coun ty and precinct.^ The attorney general’s office to day said it doubted if petitions printed in newspapers signed by individuals and mailed in to the independent group’s headquarters here (P. O. Bo^ 696) would be ac ceptable. The office said there would be some question as to the legitimacy .of signatures obtained by mail, rather than in person. At tonight's local meeting, peti tion copies bearing somewhere be tween 500 and 1,000 signatures, w’ere turned ir as 400 people at tended the gathering. The meeting formally adopted i the name “South Carolinians for Eisenhower,” and heard read this ! message from former state Sen. George Warren of Hampton, unable to speak as scheduled because of a throat ailment: “I am with you fellows 100 per cent. We should like the voters to ! know Ike is against fraud and cor ruption, socialism, big taxes and big government wages; and that is good South Carolina doctrine and we should go along with it.” j Warren, an ardent states’ Tighter, spoke vehemently here last Wed nesday at the State Democratic Convention for having the state Democratic electors pledged to Eisenhower. He was the keynote speaker at the 1948 and 1950 state conventions. The Electors The eight citizens who would ap pear on the ballot as electors pledged to Eisenhower and Nixon include: Former Charleston Mayor E. E. Wehman, Jr.; W. S. Reamer, Jr., of Columbia; Moffett G. McDonald of Greenwood; Bernard Manning of Spartanburg; Harold C. Booker of Camden; , Paul Quattlebaum of Conway; James L. Coker of Harts- ville; and Miss Susan Guignard of Columbia. ill "This new equipment is on its way- thanks to a loan from the bank" Sumter Wins Little League State Title Is new equipment important to your plans for. improving your farm operation?
