?Cheater Reporter.
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-?

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

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.
