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

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.

Clarence T. 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

IS THIS YOU?
The petite beauty operator des
cribed last week in this column was
Miss Ruby Kinard, who recognized
her description, identified herself, and
received her ice cream from Stokes’
Drug store. This week, for the sec
ond time, our description is of a
gentleman. He is very popular man-
about-town, whose favorite vacation
resort seems to be Myrtle Beach.
Your soc. ed. saw him Tuesday about
two o’clock stopping his blue two-tone
car at the intersection of Harrington
and College streets to speak to a
friend.
Could this description fit you? If
you can identify yourself, come to
