TOM O’ROUKE “The Fighting Sensation of the South,” Who Meets Mike Owens Here Tonight. will also be two good preliminary bouts, according to Mr. Nick Black, manager of the local theatre, who has spared no expense to give the fans their money’s worth. Sailor Leonard boxed eight (Winds to a draw Wednesday night' of last week in Blackville against Kfd Wil liams, of Columbia, and as a result was urnble vp meet his scheduled'op ponent in Barnwell Friday night. * Mr. Blick says that if the fans give him the right sort of support, he has a number of other* good boxers in view lor future bouts. Only a few days intervene before the voters of South Carolina will decide who will represent them in the United States Senate for the ensuing six years. That he will hail from Barnwell County is the opinion of many astute political observers throughout South Carolina. As pointed out in our last week's issue of The People-Sentinel, this is the first time that Barnwell County baa ever Had the opportunity cf •being the home of an United States Senator and, in all probability, the opportunity will not again present itself to this generation. * Edgar Brown polled a handsome vote in his home counties—native and adopted—in the first primary last week. Indeed, hit vote throughout the State was one of Which he may justly be proud, aa he lacked only 6,000 votes'of loading Senator Smith. And that, too, in spite of the fact that the sexfor Senater has been entrenched in office for 18 years and had the support of • majority of the newspapers in South Carolina. On the face of urofficial returps from the election, with a total of about 164,000 votes accounted for, the figures show that more than tbjDOO voters in South Carolina were opposed to sending Senator Smith back to Washington. Of this number, mere than 624)00 voted for Brown and the others for former Senator Dial. That a majority of the Dial vote is strictly anti-Smith is the opinion of many, who believe that most of the Laurens man supporters will cast their ballots for Colonel Brown next Tuesday. On the basis of the sense number of votes polled in the second primary that was cast on August 31st, the Barnwell candidate will need only a little more than half of the Dial votes to be elected. As stated above, the people of Barnwell Ccunty gave their “favorite’* son” a handsome vote jn the first primary. But this is not enough. He should not lose R singly vote next Tuesday, / Voters of Barnwell Courty, we appeal to you, in the name of county pride, to bury any personal prejudice that you may have against Edgar Brown and, in the event of his election, let the work) know that he has the wbole-hcarfrd support of his home people. It is perfectly natural that any man who has practiced |pw as as Colonel Brown has must have made some personal enemies, but eVcn these will grant that he is a man of exceptional ability—that he usually get? what he goes after and that he ia a power to be reckoned with in South Carolina politics. Senator Smith has long posed as the friend of the fanner. Cotton has been his hobby. But examine his record and deride for yourself whether or not he has gotten the results to which you are ertitled. Today '-you ax'* selling your cotton below tha*coat of production^ Brown may ar mny not be able to reiledy that condition, but the fact remains that senior Senator has' failed. * , ..J You are forced to phy exorbitant freight rates on your products, in rpite of the fact that Senator Smith is ehairman of the Interstate Com merce Commi^ees. More often thar'not. you see your watermelons and other truck crops sell for less than the amount of the freight. Whoso fault is that? We presume that Senator Smith is the owner of Liberty borxls. The record shews that on tha few occasions that he did vote on th« foreign debt yettlcments, he favoied accepting from 26 to 40 cents on the dollar from foreign govefr ments in payment of the eleven billiorf dollars (eleven thousand million dollars) that this country lent them during the World War. W** wonder if the liberal Aanator is willing to accept frdm 26 Co 4« cents or< the dollar*in payment'for his Liberty bonds? Or will he be willing to accept from 26 to 40 cents on the dollar from his farm laborers oi* share-croppers. The results of the first primary show 'that be has been weighed in the balances by more than 96,000 votpds in South Carolina and fdMrd wanting. , - . . * • '* We believe that the people of South Carolina are tired of protnisee and want results.
