Howard Mc Grath of the national Demo cratic party shutting the door on the States Rights Democrats and stating that Ashton H. Williams would be recognized as the nation al Democratic executive committeeman from this state in the place of Gover nor Thurmond and Mrs. J. R. Allison as committeewora- an in place of Mrs. Anne Ag- nefaf. 1 An overwhelming majority at he voters in Kershaw county are States Righters as attested by the vote last November and the fact hat Mr. McGrath haa snubbed them seems not to worry them even a little bit Senator R. M. Kennedy, one of the leaders of the States Rights movement in South Carolina, was asked by a national news service to make some commant on Mc Grath’s action and ha gave it this statement: ‘The announcement from Washington by the Trumanite party snubbing Governor Thur mond and Mrs. Anne Afnew, the legally elected national t com mltteeman and national com- mitteewoman from this state, is _ to me.

According to Messrs. Sinkler, Gibbs and Simons, bond attorneys of Charleston, not to| strictly comply with these legal requirements would be to hazard the validity of the bond issue. Voting Qualifications Art Listed The following facts are given in an effort to clarify as much as possible the requirements for vot ing in the election. Every one may vote who (1) has a county registration certifi cate dated after Jan. 1, 1948; (2) has * city registration certificate da ter after March 10, 1948 and (3) has his city and county tax re ceipts for any taxes which may have teem assessed against him for 1948. < ...J other words, anyone who was ‘ to vote in the Presiden- on last fall can vote if he has paid his county and city taxes for last year and gets a city ' ation certificate from city between Aug. 24 and Sept usive (unless he already haa a city certificate dated since March 10, 1948). Also, anyone who voted in the city manager form of government election in April, 1948, and has paid his 1948 taxes will be quail Bed without re-registering if his city registration certificate is dated since March 10, 1948. Anyone falling into any of these categories but who has lost his county registration certificate may get a duplicate by applying for a copy at the clerk of court T s of fice m the court house on Tues- may get a statement from the county treasurer or the city clerk. The Camden City Council is this week giving formal notice of the election to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 13, on the question of issuing as the case may be, showing that bonds aggregating $906,000 le has paid his taxes. Jf he has ost his city registration certificate le may either get a duplicate or a new one by applying at the city between / Aug. 24 >1 to McGrtt other re-ena the South. loy *71 &L'- lost his tax receipt he clerk’s office and Sept. 2; inclusive If a voter has no taxable prop erty, of course he does not have to concern himself with tax re ceipts. (Except men under 85 who will have to show their poll tax receipts, regardless of whether they nave any taxable property). The only persons who will find it impossible to qualify to vote in the bond issue elections are those who failed to register at the court house last year, which registra tion was pre-requisite to voting in the three general elections last year, as well as the Presidential election. Unfortunately, those per sons who did not have two years residence in the city last year, but now have two years residence would be unable to qualify the bond issue election through fault of their own. Alao in this category are those who reached 21 last October. _ Other than these, everyone who cannot qualify to vote in the bond issue election have not shown much dispoaition in the past to register and vote. for public improvements. The ballot box will be locat ed in the Camden Opera House and Mrs. M. G. Huck- abee, * Mrs. Hubert Wilson and Mrs. J. H. Strak have been named managers of election. The notice of election lists the six different proposals to be voted upon, and states that persons may vote for or against all of the pro posals or may vote for one or more of the six proposals and against the others. The failure to vote for any wf the proposals will not invalidate the ballots as to the proposal or proposals actually voted on. The six proposals are: (1) For extensions and improve ments to the waterworks system ^ | of the city, $308,000. Ior 1 (2) For extensions and improve ments to the electrical distribu- no Three Children Bitten By Dogs Another Week For Day Camp tion system, $115,000.

(4) For construction and im provement of streets, $181,000. drMj o osr ction oi •* onn | (8) For construction and im- provemnt of perks, $10,000. The notice states that all per sons desiring to vote must: (1) Possess and present county certification registration cer tificates famed within the period £|^dS* 13, 1948, “Senator ODn tional conn Fiotd Project Manager It Speaker At TtoKHrantf Glob Luncheon It will be approximately one year before production will begin at the DuPont J lant, now being built here, ame* D.
