Theo Vaughan, of Anderson, announced Saturday his candida cy for congress from the Third District in the following state ment: “I have withdrawn from the race for the United States Senate and have entered the Third Dis trict Congressional race for the seat now held by the incumbent, John C. Taylor. Entrance fee and pledge have been mailed to Lane L. Bonner, Secretary, State Demo cratic Executive Committee. “In a careful state-wide study of the pending senatorial race, I have found the battle lines rather definitely formed. The war will be fought under generals who are veteran campaigners and profes sional politicians. “For some months, friends from various counties within the Third District have urged me to consider making the race for Congress. Before committing myself, I in vestigated sentiment throughout the District. I am entering vhis campaign with the assurance of strong and vigorous support from people in all walks of life. “I stand for and will work for the aims and purposes of the New Deal. However, I have never been and will never become anyone’s “yes man” or “rubber stamp.” “In statements issued hereto fore, I have declared myself in favor of a subsidy for agriculture or else a reduction in the tariff which will enable the farmer to sell his products in foreign mar kets. I am in favor of a bill that will place a floor under wages and a ceiling over hours. I am for the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively. I am for fed eral support of education without federal control. South Carolina children are entitled to an educa tion equal to that given children in any other part of the country. “There is only one way out oi our present difficulties, and chat way is for confidence to dispel fear; for co-operation to displace strife; and for labor, capital, ag riculture, commerce, and govern ment to unite in making America a country in whf.ch to make a better living and a better country in which to live.” xx Camp Modoc News Camp Modoc, May 28.—Topsoil ing of the Key Road, north of Key Bridge, began during the week This project is somewhat large than our recent projects of top soiling as it is to be put down six teen feet wide and eight inches deep. If one cares to follow the large order involved, figure out how many truck loads of a yard and a half it will take to topsoil three miles. Work was begun this week on the matter of securing timber for the construction of the two bridges over Horn Creek. Ranger Wagner and Project Superinten dent Bodie spent one day this week locating timber for same. The Parksville Road, which runs in a westerly direction from Parksville, was begun this >»3ek. On Wednesday afternoon a bountiful rainfall was recorded here which was very gratifying to every one concerned as the dry spell had been of unusual dura tion. Camp F-ll took advantage of the rainfall to go in for inten sive transplanting of the bedded flowers for camp beautification. A strenuous day was put in by a number of the enrollees as well as by some of the supervisory per sonnel, but all concerned were more than glad to donate the ime as we are sure the results /ill more than recompense us for he effort involved. Sometime •.go, we served notice that it was our intention to have a flower garden second to nona and we are yen more positive that we are ioing to deliver on this assertion lor/ that we have had ample rain fall to enable us to do our trans planting. Mr. Joe Price has continued his shoving cf the fire prevention pictures, sponsored by the U. S. Forest Service. The usual intro ductory talks have been made by different members of the Forest Service personnel. Interest in these pictures is still very grati fying. xx Chevrolet- Long-Distance Truck Passes 40,000- Mile Mark Indianapolis, May 23.—Still pil ing up records for economy and endurance, despite the fact that it has been driven more than 40,000 miles since Jan. 11, Chevro let’s Long Distance Dependability truck swung east and south this week, continuing a jaunt which has already exceeded, by 10,000 miles, the longest previous AAA- sponsored truck run. The truck, which is making the run under direction of Harry Hartz, well-known former race driver, passed the 40,000-mile mark near St. Louis early this month. Since then, records kept by Stanley Reed, official AAA ob server, have been checked by the Contest Board at Washington and certified for release. They show several facts of interest to truck owners, both of individual units and of fleets. The truck’s average speed has been 32.43 miles per hour, sub stantially higher than' the average truck is called upon to deliver in normal commercial use. Despite a payload consisting of 4,590 pounds of steel, which brought the gross weight to 9,260 pounds including driver and observer, the unit has averaged 15.32 miles per gallon of gasoline, and 1,330 miles per quart of oil consumed. Only two quarts of oil have been added between regular changes, the report shows. Adhering to the schedule of maintenance operations recom mended to the company’s truck •ustom^rs, the crew has had the oil changed at regular intervals, and the chassis has been greased the front wheel bearings repacked, and the oil bath cleaner oil and transmission and differential lu bricant changed, at a total cost of $30.03. Total cost of gasoline, oil used, and lubrication, has been $585.87. Repairs, replacements and adjustments, aside from a tire change at 32,936.8 miles, cost- ng $150, have totaled $24.66. The total cost per mile is shown by the AAA as $.01895, and the total cost per ton mile as $.00409 The unit is now scheduled tc traverse parts of the South not yet touched, moving north up the Atlantic Coast to Portland, Me.. and thence west.

Taylor, representing the Third District of South Caro lina, announced here today that he would be a candidate for re- election in the forthcoming pri maries, subject to the rules of the Democratic Party. In amplifying his announce ment, which came a few days after his return to Washington from his home at Anderson where he spent several days recupera ting, following a major operation at the Naval Hospital here about the middle of April, Congressman Taylor stated: “I have made st# eral races in the past, and at no time have I ever been the candi date of one group or class against another, seeking to gain office by engendering hatred among groups of our citizens. My deepest desire always is to find the right side of all questions, and then to have the courage to stand by such convic tions, with no thought of political consequences. In taking this po sition, I fully appreciate that there are easier courses open to one in public life, but I choose not to follow in that path. “I shall make the race this sum mer on the record of my ability to measure up to this standard, and I shall cheerfully abi^e by the judgment of the people in this matter, with grateful appreciation for the trust they have heretofore reposed in me.” Congressman Taylor is com pleting his third term as a mem ber of congress, having been elec ted first in 1932. poo Rivers arfd at Bennettsville; the old Waterhom rice planta tion in Francis Marion National Forest; Strawberry Chapel, the “chapel of ease” connected with. Biggin Church, and Edgefield,, which is referred to as “the town with an Old South air.” An added feature of this edi tion is a statement which appears on another page over the signa>- ture of Director A. W. Bohlen, of the South Carolina Motor Vehicle Division. Under the heading “Cordial, Glad Hand”, Mr. Bohlen extends a welcome to out-of-state motorists, refers to the expansion of the state’s improved highway system, and calls attention to the motor vehicle laws. —TC- Baptist Assembly At Hartsville June 13-25 mm ••W v.-A*.* DR.

In an entire page devoted to scenic and historic touring at tractions of South Carolina, the ESSSO ROAD NEWS in its June edition places new emphasis upon the importance of this state to motorists traveling through the South. The edition, which is now be ing distributed at Esso dealer sta tions, has a circulation of several nundreds of thousands of copies monthly among motorists through out the Carolinas, TennfeS$Ce, Arkansas, and Louisana. It is ex pected that in thus featuring South Carolina’s places of in- tertit, the NEWS will induce a number of out-of-state motorists to place this state on their itin eraries for vacation trips. Under the heading “Seen in the Palmetto State” are a total of nine articles with six illustrations.
