Six Youths Are

Stealing Charges
A series of minor depredations in
and around Clinton were probably i
brought to an end last week with*
the arrest of six youths, mostly;
teen-age boys, according to Sher-,
iff C. W. Wier.
Two of the boys were handled;
through the judge of probate of-|

Laurens Wildlife '
Chapter Elects
The Laurens sub-chapter of the
County Wildlife Federation has
i looted new officers for the year.
C A Ridgeway declined the
nomination for the office of presi-!
lent and Ethbert C. Abercrombie,
a ii nner president, agreed to take
the job until a permanent president
]-■ elected.
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.

PETITIONS FOR
'IKE' FIND
SIGNERS READY
Will Seek To,000 Signo-
tures By Sept. 4 With
Eight Citizens On Inde
pendent Column.
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.
