Friday, September B, 1930 (iO Vi/VK 'N KXT Tl/IBSDA Y With the important offices of governor and United States senator yet to be settled at the polls next Tuesday, and the fact that In our local n(fairs a probate judge and an auditor are to be nominated, it is very important that all the people who can possibly do so go to the voting places next Tuesday and Cast their ballots for who they think are 1/est qualified to serve in these offices. I,ay aside prejudices and vote for what you think to be for the best interests of the county and state, Hut be sure to go to the polls and vote. AN INDKPKNl>KNT CAND1DATK The straightforward statement by I bra (' Blackwood, candidate for governor, found in another place in this paper, should make his position clear on all issues. Mr. Blackwood points out, the next four years will be a most important period in the state's history, among other reasons because of the expenditure of large sums of public money in the construction of highways. His promise has been of an "honest, intelligent and progressive administration." lie goes further and says: "But I reaffirm my pledge thai the issuance of highway bonds will be halted by me before these shall ever become .a tax charge against prop city." That is assurance from Mr. Blackwood that he will not peiinit the state to incur obligations for roadbuilding beyond an amount which he U convinced can and will he taken care of by the motor taxes and without resort to any property or other general state levies. South Carolina needs during the next four years a firm, level and well "balanced head in the governor s chair, in connection with the highway program, and likewise in connection with other important problems* that are developing in its political and eco- | nomic life. Consideration of that fact must give Mr. Blackwood's candiducy a powerful appeal to the citizenship of this state. Visited a small town loss than 100 miles of Monroe the other day.
