« / i m •\ GREENVILLE MAN THINKS " ( JIMMIK BYRNFTS WILL WIN Made of the Stuff of Progress, He 1* Bound to Advance. r V In. a letter to The G f reenville Pied mont. under date of M%y 22nd, K. A. Gregory, of Greenville, predicts the election of “Jimmie” Byrnes to the United States, Sedate. “Mu. will cap- lure the seat in the Senate as he has captured every office he has ever sought," says Mr. Gregory, whose let ter in full is'as follows: Editor The Piedmont, Sir: Having taken an academic ire crest in the forthcoming senatorial race in this State and felt the pulse of people to a considerable degre •, I can not refrain , on the basfs of the in formation I possess, from respectfully disagreeing with Mr. E. Roy St(.ne and his prognostications as puhlr-hed in your issue of today. Confessedly I could not help smiling at Mr Stone’s belief that Congr * James K. Byrnes would tail the. tiek -t; At the ‘outset, I wish to m: !u it clear that I have not enif.loved the prognosticator’s method of ascertain ing the public sentiment; I have mI- dressed no letter of inquiry. Laving made personal inquiries, however, and—what is more hyvdig mi in (’olumi)ia and in the weste'oi part of the State, so long a time at'least as would suffice—for one to familiarize one’s self with the people’s choice, >h t<> thank t!*c people of the bouble I’otid -ection for their kind ness at .the time of the death of my dear son, Benjamin Berry. Also for rhisf-tUt*beautiful Moral offerings. ' If is Mother. the seat in the Senate as he ha- can- tured every office he has ever sought. He has the feeling of confidence Those intimately acquainted with him know the amazing accuracy of his prognostications. In hn- -district he is usually able to foretell, withhrhtnv dredsj the number of votes he is to receive in his races, xnat hi- will be elected to the Senate .he dimply knows. Those ir. hi> district know that Byrnes never makes ra.-h decisions. Greenville. ^ . Efthymius A. Gregory. Card of Thank-..

I' * and being acquainted with numerojls residents of Charleston,” l can • sav with confidence that in the parts re ferred to at least Mr. Byrnes’ lead will be overwhelming. The length -snf time L have lived in this section has not permitted me to become con-n versant with the voters’ predilections here, fully as 1 appreciate Piedmont's weight in State primaries. y In those parts of the State in which Congressman Byrnes is weil known he is regarded as preeminent ly the leading ' South Carolinian in Washington. Only those who. are ig norant of his biography in general and his record in the-national capital in particular, as wadi as his irresisti ble personality, can afford to ignore him. Mr. Stone refers to the probabil ity of a change »»f public sentiment'. Any change of sentiment will be favor able exclusively to Mr. Byrnes, alth > the writer for one feels confident that even were the primaries held tomor row, the second district representa tive would l>e assured of a place in the second race. I hold that a change of sentiment wouid lx* favorable to him, because I cannot imagine any considerable numbi r of voters who, being partisans of Mr. Byrnes today, would drift to M:. Blouse or to Mr. Dial. The point that both these men a’e well known t > the voters of TJttle stories reflecting Queen W!I- helmina’s populfirity with her subjects appear from time to rime in the con tinental press. The petit Parlslen reports Mi at re cently, while motoring In tlie outskirts \ of Tlie Hague, the Dutch sovereign was attracted by the unusual beauty of a laborer’s child who waved to her She stopped her ear to chat with the little girl, asked tier name and kissed her. A few days later the delighted child received a parcel from the palace con taming a beautiful pair of gloves, the right-hand glove filled with caramels and the left willi gold pieces. Accom panying the gift was a note from the queerr asking her little friend to write and tell her which of the gloves gave her the most pleasure. lit due time the child’s reply, on tear stained uote paper, readied the ffalace. “Your majesty,” it read, “I don’t know whieh glove I liked the best, because my daddy took the left- hand glove and niy brother took the right.” The queen, in good story book style, promptly duplicated tie- gift, making certain, liowe.vef, that the child should not be robbed by gra.sping father or greedy brother. It is not related whether or not she repeated her rattier embarrassing inquiry. 'S.
