who believe that the fovernor will have little to aay about the guberna torial race. They work on the theory that he is thinking about his own probable race for the senate and \ would hesitate to come out openly for any of the gubernatorial candidates. On the other hand there are those who think that the governor and his long-standing political foe, Mayor Maybank, of Charleston, may declare a truce so that both would nmoother sailing. Maybank is strong down-State and Johnston up-State. Should one oppose the other openly there doubtless would be unfavorable reactions, but with both calling the feud off it might serve to allay what otherwise might be stronger opposi tion for Maybank in the Johnston dis tricts and for Johnston in thfe May- bank districts. So far neither has indicated pub licly his attitude toward the other. Bennett Strong. Bennett is certain to be a strong figure in any race he might enter, but his continued silence has left him pretty well a question mark in the early speculation. Whether he could be elected governor or not he would poll a Urge vote which probably would be fairly evenly dividled over the State. The same is true of Blease. Few think that the 68-year-old for mer governor and U. S. Senator could come back strongly enough to be elected, yet he undoubtedly has many followers who might be switched one way or the other with telling results. It was Blease who reached second primary against Johnston in the last election. The two previously had been friends, but were vigorous against each other when fighting it out in 1D34. The y appear now, however, to be on good terms again. Manning, a son of former Gov. Richard I. Manning, has become in creasingly powerful in State offairs. He ran third to Johnston and Blease in 1934 and is believed to have picked up strength since that time. His strength is widely distributed over the State among the more conserva tive voters. Some argue that his raildtr tactics might be a handicap against such aggression as Maybank, Adams and the others would offer. On the other hand there *re those who nay that there is • definite swing to ward the conservative side in the State. All of the potential candidates are watching closely the labor situation in the thickly populated textile dis tricts up-State. The C. I. O. has been carrying on a quiet campaign of or ganization for several months and there is reason to think that develop ments may come in the fall when the textile mills hum agn n after the nor mal summer lull. Right now the can- ddates are mum about the C. I. O. The y appear to be waiting to get a better idea of just how strong the l.ewis forces will be when next sum mer comes along. WILLISTON GIRL WINS LEGION BEAUTY PARADE Land owners in Aiken, Barnwell and parts of Allendale, Bamberg and Orangeburg Counties have recently petitioned the State Soil Conservation Committee to establish in this general section theh Edlsto Soil Conservation District, and members of the county delegation to the general assembly, officers of the chamber of commerce, and other organizations and individ uals have urged the committee not only to .establish such a soil district, but to locate the headquarters in Aiken, which is considered the logical point. Hearings were held by Dr.' H. P. Cooper, director of Experiment Sta tions; Dr. D. W. Watkins, director of the South Carolina Extension Service, and Ernest Carnes, State Co-ordinator for the Soil Conservation Service, who compose the State committee, in Aik en, Barnwell and Orangeburg on July 7th. At these hearings a number of land owners appeared before the com mittee, urging the setting up of the Soil Conservation District. penses, and, if the applicant appears to be ambitious enough to work the place, the loan is made. It is not necessary that the land lord, if the place be a rented one, waive his rent. The main object of the inspection is to satisfy the super visors that the applicants are worth rehabilitating and are not just driftees who will get the money and do noth ing on the farm. These families are weeded out at the end of each year as there ere necessarily a few who slip pa^t the supervisors. When asked if many families had been successful in their effort to get back on their feet, Posey stated that about 70 per cent, of the borowers had made a comeback. Some of these men have been signally success ful, while others have gained a foot hold from which the county supervis or believes they will eventually climb to security. However, heh stated fur ther, the bulk of these rehabilitated humans have been negroes. Posey called two instances to mind of men who have made good in a big way through the use of administration loaned money. One of these was a The Coastal Public Health District h«fd its annual Institute for the Training of Midwives at Voorhees School, Denmark, beginning July 12th and ending July 24th. Each of the counties of the district sent members to be instructed. Miss Laura Blackburn, district supervisor was the instructor, and with the assistance of several of the county nurses, arranged a well round ed program. The purpose is to train these women in Maternal and Infant care. Barnuipll County was represented by two new members. During th< course a large number of the old mid wives were taken for one day by the county nurses for the purpose of ob serving the demonstrations. The Institute closed with exercises which included the midwife oath and a health skit put on by the midwives. Dr. L. T. Claytor, public health offi cer for Barnwell, Bamberg, AllendWe and Hampton Counties rendered as sistance. This Institute was made possible through the cooperation of the Voor hees School.
