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.

miles of Monroe the other day. The
Spit and Argy Club was holding its
daily meeting on the steps of a vacant

Said a toothless guy. as he sedately
spat. "If evorbuddy wuz to go to
raisin' cows or chickens or hawgs,
danged if th' market wouldn t be so
glutted that y<>' wouldn't give 'em
away."
"You're right, grandpap." replied
his listeners in chorus.
"And cotton, with th1 boll weevil
gittin' half, and the price 10 cents."
continued grmulpap, "the leavin ain't
hardly wuth pickin'. It looks
tor me like they ain't no money no
mo' in nuthin'."
"You're right, grandpap," again
chorused his audience.
Then 1 left, tf&Cause pessimism is

Lying across the top of a blazing
pile of logs and brush, the charred
body of a man identified as Joseph
Reimer, 54, was discovered late Friday
on North Point Beach. Baltimore
county. Police recovered the "body
and although due to its condition they
were unable to tell whether
shots had been fired, advanced the
theory that the man had been strangled.
and tossed into the flames. It
was also believed kerosene had boon
first poured oil hi- clothing. Money
in thi' man's house was undisturbed.
Police discounted a -un ale vyrsion
and in-i.-ted the man had been murdered.
