Questions Answered On Nov. 2 Election
Details Of Write-In Voting Discussed,
Lows Are Cite
By W. D. Workman, Jr.
Columbia, Sept. 14—-The forth
coming general election of a suc
cessor to United States Sen.
Burnet R. Maybank involves
several unusual aspects. Here is
a question-and-answer discussion
of the voting situation, based on
the South Carolina election law,
the rules of the Democratic
Party of South Carolina, and the
opinions of Attorney General T.
C. Callison. ,
Q. What is, the status of
State Sen. Edgar Brown in the
race?
A. He is the legal nominee of
the Democratic Party of South
Carolina, having been chosen by
the State Executive Committee
after the death of Sen. Maybank.
Q. What is the status of for
mer Gov. Strom Thurmond in
the race?
A. He is a “write-in” candi
date in opposition to Sen Brown.
That means his name must be
written in on the ballot by the
individual supporter since it will
not appear on the printed ballot
J. Can a voter cast his ballot
for either of these two candi
dates?
A. Yes. Since this is a gener
al election, any registered voter
cfin participate and vote for
anyone he pleases.
ARE YOU PLEDGED'?
Q. Are Democrats already
pledged to support the party no
minee for U. S. Senate?
A. No, Democrats who took
part in the June primaries ARE
pledged to support the party's
candidates who were nominated
in those primary elections. But
since Sen. Brown was nominated
by a committee rather than by
a primary, voters are not pledg
ed to support him, although he
is the official representative of
the party in the election.
Q. How . would I vote for
Sen Brown?
A. You can vote me straight
Democratic ticket by simply
marking a cross in the circle at
the top of the colurpn beaded
“Democrat,” and that would be
a vote for Sen. Brown and all
the other Democratic nominees,
Or, you can mark the box beside
his name on the horizontal line
labelled “United States Senator”
HOW TO WRITE-IN
Q. How would I vote for Mr.
Thurmond?
A. You write the name
“Strom Thurmond” in the blank
column at the far right of the
ballot, opposite the label “United
States Senator.”
Q. If I want to vote for
Thurmond, should I scratch the
name of Brown?
A. The law is silent on that
subject. Attorney General Calli
son says that the controlling fac
tor in all cases is the intent of
the voter as indicated by his
marking the ballot. The in
structions required by law to be
placed on the paper ballots say:
“If you wish to vote for a can
didate not on any ticket, write
or place the name of such can
didate on your ticket opposite
the name of the office.”
Q. Can the voter paste on a
printed slip with the name of a
write-in candidate, or use a rub
ber stamp or must he write the
name himself?
A. The state law provides,
“In casting a write-in ballot, tne
’voter shall cast it in his own
handwriting or in the handwrit
writing of a duly authorized
manager who is aiding the voter
in casting his ballot when assist
ance is authorized . . .*
MACHINE PROCEDURE
Q. Can a write-in ballot be
cast on a voting machine?
A. Yes, by opening a slot
above the name of the particular
office and writing the name on
the paper in the slot
O. Does the written-in name
have to be exactly correct in

Black, Prof. Sam Moyer, director

band cnocert contest chairman
James W. Zimmerman said.
Noting last week’s incidents In
West Virginia, Delaware and
Ohio, Byrnes said:
“Thoughtful people should real
ize that if there is such feeling in
communities” in these states
“where the percentage of Negro
population is relatively small, far
far more serious situations will
rise in such counties as Clarendon
in this state, whan an effort is
made to mix the races.”
Speaking at the opening of a
new rug-weaving plant here,
Byrnes declared that “writers in
social problems, whose views were
quoted with approval by the su
preme Court (in its anti-segrega
tion opinion) know nothing of the
seriousness of the problems in vol-
ved in such a district” as Claren
don, where Negroes outnumber
Whites 10 to 1.
One of the cases on which the
Supreme Court ruled originated
in Clarendon County. It will be
one of the districts represented
before the court when it hears
arguments, Dec. 6, on how its de
cision outlawing public school se-
gretalon is to be carried out.
Byrnes congratulated “the peo
ple of South Carolina on their re
straint since the decision of the
Supreme Court. They have indi
cated their willingness to withhold
their final judgment until the Su
preme Court shall render its final
decree.”
The governor also said he be
lieves “the vast majority of the
Negroes in South Carolina would
prefer to send their children to
the splendid schools now being
constructed for them" under the
states 100 million dollar-plus
school equalization program.'
Byrnes’ speech was a higniight
of the all-day celebration of the
plant opening. The program also
induced speeches by U. S. Senate
candidates Edgar A. Brown, Strom
Thurmond and Marcus Stone and
a parade featuring high school,
military bands, floats and beauty
queens.
Dillon was chosen as the site of
the new plant by Dixiana Mills,
Inc., after a check of 13 states by
officials of the Mohawk Carpet
Co. of Amsterdam, N. Y.
The plant will employ 200 work
ers in the manufacture of tufted
rugs.
Endorsement

Atom Plan
THE DUTCH DO IT
The Pennsylvania Dutch serve
ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced and
sprinkled with cinnamon and salt!
It’s a deliciously different way to
serve this favorite vegetable.
United Nations, N. Y.—Publica
tion of U. S. -Soviet notes on
President Eisenhower’s atoms-for-
peace program heightened a feel
ing here today that the «United
States will wind up with a re
sounding endorsement of its plan
after some sharp questioning in
the U. N. Assembly.
The Assembly’s big Political
Committee plans to organize for
work late in the week, after Rus
sia’s Andrei Vishinsky has set
forth the Soviet line in debate.
The atom item will be up for
a top place in the Political Com
mittee. It may lead off that com
mittee’s debates the week follow
ing.
Vishinsky is reported preparing
to speak Tuesday, or possibly
Monday.
He is expected to discuss two
main Soviet conditions for setting
up an atom pool:
1. No international atomic agen
cy without prior agreement to
ban atomic weapons.
2. Final authority over any in
ternational agency must rest in
the U. N. Security Council where
Russia has a veto.
The Soviet reserved the right to
the veto in a memorandum hand
ed to U. S. Ambassador Charles
Bohlen in Moscow last Wednes
day, day before US Secretary of
State Dulles outlined his four-
point atomic peace program in
the Assefhbly here.
The plan called for a nuclear
materials bank to meet the needs
of agriculture, medicine and other
peaceful activities, including even
tually power production. A treaty
agency would be ruled by a board
of governors with decisions taken
by “some form of majority vote”
and carried out by an executive
officer and staff.
The proposed relationship to the
U. N. was limited to making re
ports to the Security Council and
Assembly when requested, and
consulting with other U. N. bodies.
Members of the agency would be
expected to contribute atomic in
formation to the whole agency.
Dulles did not discuss any of
these provisions before the U. N.
He said that because of “Soviet
negation” the United States and
others interested in the project
were going ahead to set up an in
ternational agency.
