PAGE EIGHT inn, nundumki Burr CHIT-CHAT (Continued from page one) ing a Pilot club in the city. Pilot is an organization for business women that corresponds with the men’s ser vice clubs and its functions are some what the same. A couple of prelim inary meeings were held, but noth ing definite ever came of them. Just what happened to the idea, no one seems to know. It sounded like a pretty good thing at the time. All Quiet. The town is postively dead on Wed nesday afternoons. What happens to the city’s 7511 people is a mystery. They all seem to suddenly disappear. Whether they hie away to lake Mur ray or other recreational soots or just stay at home stretched out under an electric fan, the fact remains that Just To Remind You— When In Need Of GROCERIES Call 234 Everything You May Need, and Better Quality at Less Cost lor Same Goods Chiffon Maid Flour, BEST at ANY Price 23 lbs Plain or SR $1.15 12 lbs Plain or SR . . . 60c 4 lb Bucket Armours Star Pure Lard 40c 4 lb carton Rath’s PURE LARD 35c Pinol Soap 10c.

O. WILSON, Owner 1309 MAIN ST. PHONE234 hardly a mouse is stirring. Walking through the streets of the business section one can hear one’s own foot steps and there’s not a doubt that you could hear the proverbial pin drop. With everything so very still, you wonder if the town will actually get the wheels started the next morning. Wednesday afternoon is the busiest time for newspaper workers here. We don’t exactly envy the long-suffering clerks and merchants for an afternoon off, but how nice it would be if that afternoon could be Saturday and we could enjoy a whole weekend all at once. Saturday clos ing at one ideal and there are many stores in other cities that do it. Sleep. Whether it’s original or not is pret ty hard to find out but the following statement spoken unconcernedly by a local person the other day sounded good enough to pass on, The subject was sleeping, or trying to sleep and the general comments from all pre sent on insomnia came to the front •when the local wit came out with the statement, “Now I spend all night trying to do what I used to could do all night—sleep," On Enrolling No » that enrolling time to vote in the August primary is over, one won ders what the newspapers will have to write about, what the radio sta tions will use for fillers in beween programs. The fact has been con tinuously presented to the public for weeks that enrolling is important, necessary, must be done. If a citizen Will nof enroll without being con stantly reminded, urged, coaxed, goaded or driven, as it were, perhaps it’s just better if He gave it up alto gether. One would think voting is a nasty job that has to be done Instead of a privilege that we in this country have. JOHN STONE-ALEX ANDER Mr. and Mrs. T. K.

Summer Speech of C. C. Wallace at the First Meeting of Candidates Held at Whitmire, July 20: “In this—my maiden political effort —I know no other place I’d rather be tried out than in the town of Whit mire, and I have good reason for saying this. I have lots of real good friends here—who have known me from 20 to 25 years, and there’s lots of mighty nice folks here who are my kinfolks. And then there’s an other reason; I have a brother who is president of a cotton mill in the upper part of the State, and I am in particular position to know what I am talking about when I say I want to pay my special tribute to you folks of the Aragon Baldwin Mills community; you folks are the very life and blood of the town of Whit mire, and the same is true down at our County seat of Newberry. You have done more to keep general busi ness going than any other group of people, and I rejoice with you that National recognition has finally been given to the worth and the intrinsic value of the man who works with his hands. Speaking of politics, I was listen ing to my radio the other night and a pair of these radio comedians were holding forth. One said to the other, “Say, Sam, you know we have ajways been buddies. I want you to loan me a dollar bill and I’ll pay you back Saturday." And Sam said “Laws-a- merey boy, thanks for the compliment, but you haven’t seen my podketbook lately—boy, its just as empty as a politicians hat—when he’s got it on his head.” Now folks, get me straight. I’m not a politician, and the job I’m seek ing is not a job for a politician, but for an active, energetic and compe tent business man. Let’s analyze just a bit this job of commissioner; he’s one of the men who helps frame your expense budget for the year, and that’s what your taxes are levied to pay. And then he’s one of the men who pays out your tax money, as the old fellow would say. “he’s got you behind and befront—he gets you coming and go ing," “I hope you all have one of these little folders of mine—It gives just a few of the commissioner’s duties, but folks, I couldn’t tell you on that folder, neither can I tell you in the space of three minutes what I have done in the last 48 years. However, for this job of commis sioner you need a man with a con science, and that’s fine, but that’s not all, you need a man who has been trained, and whose training has been fortified by years of experience in the particular line of work you are going to expect him to do. You want a man who can look at a piece of paper, be it a financial statement, a pay roll, a bid for supplies, and equipment—or whatnot, and can see what is on the paper. Now, I have seen, and so have yop, men jn places of impotrqnce, such as this who couldn’t tell you the differ ence between a frozen asset, a con tingent liability, a deferred cpc<liti and a floating kidney, You want a man who has kept pace with the fast changing business methods and price structures of rec ent years, and who will continue to do so, Now, I have been for the past 18 years employed as manager of a large general mercantile business, and gin nery, in charge of the buying and selling of cotton seed and fertilizer, and to a large extent in farming. Now you good business men out there know, without my telling you that I am well acquainted with the absolute necessity of cooperation and cooperation’s twin brother—economy, in any business enterprise. Now, that, folks, is my platform— economy and cooperation. I ask that you consider well this job of cqmmissiqqec, its Importance, its responsibilities, and most of all, what it means to you as a taxpayer. Consider well these men—their abi lities, their qualifications and their fitness for the job. And I sincerely trust, when the vote is counted, that it will prove that your judgement, and my judgement, as to the man best suited for the place will be the same. Thanks ^aciety IS THIS YOU?
