THE MEASURING ROD The Rev. J. P. Mahaffey. a man we do not know. Is the editor of a Georgia weekly, the name of which we do not know, either. Hut this we do know. He has given some sago udvlce to the voters of It Ih county advice we lake pleasure In passing on to every potential voter in Fairfield. Perhaps they (the voters) will not follow it; perhaps, lit some Instances, they cannot follow It. because they may he forced to choose the lesser of two evils, mores tho pity. But nevertheless. the preacher editor's message Is worthy of serious thought. Hero It Is: "In making up our minds about voting there Is one lest we can put. Is this the kind of man 1 would trust with my money, my business, my farm, my family affairs for the next two or four years? If I had to he away all of this time?and many will during the next few years?and completely out of touch with my affairs, could I trust him to look after them to my best Interest and that of my family? If you feel you couldn't trust him In these things, he Just ain't fit to vote for." Had the foregoing been the criteria for candidates during the pust tlfty years, there would bo no question now about our I>emocracy being decadent. Our government would be founded upon a rock that all of Hitler's bombers could not shake-? Winnshoro Herald. Machine Guns Found In Sumter Some "scrap metal" which a negro consulted a local junk doalor about purchasing horo recently turned out to be 12 machine guns and six German rifles, three of the.m equipped with bayonets. The guns had been In possession of the Into Charlie Spears, negro I World War veteran, whoso widow Is Eva Jossye, director of the nationally [known Eva Jessye choir. Alexander Lucas Sheppard of New York, also colored, recently married Spears' widow, and It was he who discovered the store of weapons and ! contacted the Junk dealer about their ! purchase. lie asked tho dealer If It would be all right to tear the machine guns | up for scrap to he sold to the govern! men t. The Junk dealer yesterday reported I the talk of Chief Klrven of tho city police force, who went to the resilience and found In tho outhouse there the store of guns. One of them had been hit with a hammer but all tho others were intact. No Information as to how Sjpears had gotten hold of the equipment could bo had. but It was thought that he had probably collected tho guns at the end of tho last war In which he was seriously wounded. He was u negro man of some means, a World War veteran, an amateur j painter and writer for negro news papers. He died approximately two years ago from injuries Incurred wben he was struck by an automobile. Charlie Spears was a native of Sumtor, son of Charllo Spears, Sr., who for years was head porter of old Jervey hotel here, and later held the same position with the Oregon hotel, Greenwood, and then with the Jefferson hotel, Columbia, from the time It was opened until his death ten or fifteen years ago. Lucas was questioned this morning by Chief Kirven, but could give no Information about the guns. He said that his wife had not known how they had come Into the possession of her former husband. Eva Jessye was Spears' second wife. Chief Kirven contacted the F. B. I. office at Savannah this morning about the guns and was expectelng to hear from them later today. Army officers from nearby Shaw Field who Inspected the machine guns and rifles said that tho latter were of a type which is being used now by tho Germans.?Thursday's Sumter Item.

Florence Juniors EliminateDarlington # As was expected, the Florence American Legion Junior ball team eliminated the Darlington Junior3 in an elimination series by winning the final and deciding last Monday by a 7 to ? 3 score. Darlington had hopes of winning the game behind the pitching of Byrd, who "has been a sensation this seasou. But the Florence batters, smarting with previous defeats, plastered on them by Byrd, came to life in the final game and blasted his offerings for a total of 12 blows. Gregg of Florence, limited the Darling.on batters to 6 hits. Sumter upset the dope by defeating Columbia high in a final and deciding game of an elimination series 16 to 4. Sumter will now take on the Florence team and on performance of the teams to date. Florence looks like a probable winner. Bethesda Presbyterian Church Sunday, July 19, A. Douglas McArn, pastor.
