Johnston would l>e governor of the state of South Carolina without a question of a doqbt, lu the city by the sea Blackwood snowed his opponent under an avalanche of votes and outside of the City of Charleston Johnston received a majority of the votes cast for governor. Blackwood lost- his home county oL -Spartanburg, the neighboring county of Greenville and was badly beaten in Anderson county, but received a majority of 7,7*50 votes in Charleston. Blackwood, who apparently is elected governor of this state, will be eternally indebted to the old city of ('ha/*l??ton. Cast week we chided the ancient city of Charleston for its extreme enthusiasm in supporting Ashton Williams for governor, but after thie second primary we have to take it all back and say "Thank God for Charleston."? Uincaster News. A No-Credit Town Hloomfield, a Nebrasku town with 1,500 inhabitants, is receiving a lot of publicity because of the non-credit policy adopted by its retail merchants, Over two years ago twenty-two businesses in that town announced that they would sell only for cash, und now all the merchants in the community have followed that policy. Some people got offended at first, but eventually those who paid their debts realized that under the previous custom they had been charged for bad accounts, as well. One business man, discussing the few who began to trade out of town, said that the new plan "rid the town of its God-given dead beats." The dentists and doctors of the community collect cash for each visit. The town celdbrates a novel first of the month twelve times a year. No bills are mailed or sent ground to its citizens. Everything has been bought for cash. If the Merchant Association finds any store violating the rules, it is fined $100. Other towns could probably apply the same system with success. It would mean some inconvenience at first, but the final result would be to place business on a In'tter basis, prevent huge losses from unwise credits, and keep everybody's financial situation in a much better condition. ?

Destroy Ballots j Withdraw Guard Recount of the Charlesion county vote in the second primary became an impossibility yesterday. The ballots, guarded since Vast Thursday, when Olin I>. Johnston, defeated candidate for governor, gave notice of appeal to the state Democratic executive committee /or a recount of the ballots cast in Charleston, were yesterday destroy-] ed. Upon the unanimous refusal of the state committee to grant Mi^-Johnston's petition, John H. Graham, chairman of the Charleston county Democratic executive committee, notified W. N. Brouer, secretary, and instructed him to unlock the room in 'which the ballots were stored in the Hibernian hull and release the guards. f Mr. Breuer and W. 13. Minott, treas,urer, pursuant to these instructions, destroyed the 11J,?T7-1 ballots and .turned the club rolls, polling lists, returns arvd managers' oaths over to the clerk of court and stored the empty boxes in the fireproof building to gather dust until the next election. The Charleston county committee, when it met last Thursday to canvass the election returns officially, turned down a petition presented in Mr. , Johnston's behalf for a recount. Mr. | Johnston then decided to appeal to ! the state committee and the ballots] were accordingly kept under lock and! key in a room in the Hibernian hall, I and policemen and representatives of! Mr. Johnson were placed on guard.: Charleston's vote was the decid-' ing factor both in the race for gov- i ernor and United States senator.' Without tho Charleston Byrnes ma- I jority, Cole U. Blease would have! continued to be-senator from South' Carolina and certainly Ibra ('. Black- j wood would have fared ill in the gubernatorial contest had it not been for the overwhelming majority given him in Charleston county. In fact he won the race by something more thari 1)00 votes. Charleston county gave him 10,636 to Johnston's 2,656.? Wednesday's News and Courier. Rush To Complete Highway No. One Southern Pines, N.
