The friends of Dr. Epting point
with pride to his achievements as
mayor of McCormick and wish to
call the attention of the voters of
McCormick County to a few of the
things he has done for the Town
and County during his administra
tion.
1. He extended the water and
light lines in McCormick without an
increase in taxes.
2. His administration has secured
a reduction in the interest rate car
ried by McCormick Bonds and this
reduction will save the Tax payers
approximately $55,000.00 before the
maturity of these bonds.
3. Under his administration tax
es have been reduced in the Town
of McCormick.
4. Main Street has been paved
and many improvements made in
the other streets.
5. He was instrumental in obtain
ing over $500,000.00 for the County
for relief purposes, which amount
camp&res favorably with amounts
received by adjoining Counties with
much larger populations.
6. Dr. Epting has served as ser
vice officer for ex-service men for
ten years without pay. During that
time he has brought thousands of
dollars to our County through Vet
erans benefits. Most other County
service men receive compensation
for this work.
7. He served as Commander of
the American Legion for 3 years.
8. He has been a leader and has
spent much time and money work
ing for the Clarks Hill Dam.
Dr. Epting is constructive, sincere
and honest. He has the interest of
ALL the people of McCormick
County at heart. He favors better
roads and schools and Is a strong
advocate of economy. He has been
active in all Fraternal and Church
work. He Is a sober and enterpris
ing gentleman, purely unselfish and
a man of whom we could be proud
of in the State Senate.
ELECT DR. EPTING SENATOR
AND WE WILL HAVE A SENATOR
WHO WILL REPRESENT ALL THE
PEOPLE.

Some Of The Things
I Stand For In My
Race For The Senate
Card From
M. Gary Dora
Due to the short time before the
election for a State Senator and
the further fact that the term
should be for only a few weeks I
am not submitting any platform
except I stand for right and justice
in all matters and will have the
interest of the County at heart at
all times.
M. GARY DORN.
(Political Advertisement.)
Card From Dr.
R. G. Killingsworth
I agree to the legality of proof
of payment of 1934 poll taxes more
than thirty days prior to the elec
tion being sufficient to qualify one
to vote with reference to payment
of poll taxes in the forthcoming
Senatorial election and agree not
to protest or contest said election
on the ground's that voters were
allowed to vote 6n 1934 poll tax
receipts.

Poultry Movement
| From State Heavy
—
Columbia, Jan. 18.—Approximate
ly 300,000 pounds of poultry has
moved from South Carolina to
eastern markets during the past
six weeks, states Geo. E. Prince of
the Clemson College Extension Ser
vice, Division of Markets. This
poultry was sold through cooper
ative carlot and truck schedules
arranged by Mr. Prince’s office and
county agricultural agents. Some
6,500 growers in 24 counties par
ticipated in these sales and received
around $48,000: This amount of
poultry would fill 20 cars.
“Prices of poultry in the eastern
markets which have been relatively
low during the past three years
advanced considerably during the
fall months,” says Mr. Prince.
“Dealers are now offering higher
prices than have been secured since
early in 1932, and are in most cases
higher than those being paid local
ly. This resulted in heavy loadings
on all schedules operated recently
under the Division of Markets.”
Additional schedules are being
arranged 'weekly and Mr. Prince
anticipates that at least as much
more poultry will be moved from
South Carolina during the next two
months. Reports to his office in
dicate that more growers than ever
before are taking advantage of
these schedules to convert a part of
their farm flocks into cash.
I favor cl6 c e Cooperation with
all County and School officials and
will endeavor to carry out recom
mendations of the Grand Jury.
I favor better Cross Country
roads and good schools.
I am not in favor of any increase
in taxes.
I shall favor the diverting of one
additional cent of gasoline tax to
the Counties for. the improvement
of cross country roads.
I am a dry.
I shall study the feasibility of
free school books.
I propose to abolish the office of
tax collector.
I shall try to have more of our
roads paved or surface treated.
I shall try my best to have the
State assume payments of McCor
mick County’s original highway
bonds:
I shall petition the Federal Gov
ernment to make a flbmestead
project out of the cultlvatable land
they own in McCorthick County.
I shall Vote for ariy practical
old age pension bill.
I promise to conduct myself as
a gentleman at all times.
Signed,
C. K. EATING.
