Paul H. Haile
For SUPERVISOR
TO THE VOTERS OF NEWBERRY
COUNTY:
Next Tuesday you go to the polls to
elect a Supervisor for the next four years.
I believe that I am entitled to ask your
vote on my record of experience in the
office of the Board for the past four years.
I have honestly tried at all times to
work in behalf of the people of the coun
ty. I have stood by what I knew to be
right when I knew it would cost me votes.
There have of course been disagree
ments among board members but no one
can charge that I disagreed with any board
member for selfish reasons. I do not be
lieve the people of this county expect me
or any other office holder to be a rubber
stamp for anyone.
When the record of Paul Haile is fi
nally read it will show four years of look
ing after the interest of every taxpayer.
I can and will work in harmony with
any of the four gentlemen now running
tor Commissioner, just as I have tried to
do in the past. Anyone who knows me
knows that I despise strife in any quarter,
and I have and always will do all in my
power to work peacefully with anyone
elected.
I will be free to devote all my time and energies
to Newberry County and I promise to give my per
sonal attention to all roads and any complaints
from any citizen.
I have made a study of the office and I
know it thoroughly; if it is entrusted to me I
will guarantee that every dollar will he used
economically, and I will cooperate in every
way with the delegation to reduce taxes.
Please give me your consideration next
Tuesday.

mind that the present political mach
ine of the city of Charleston gave me
the rawest conceivable deal in certain
wards of the city of Charleston."
“We are not putting the stamp of
approval on anything that has been
done in Charleston, but we have de
clared the nominee of the party and
that is all we can do,” Mann said in
raising his point.
The utmost in
beauty, style
and value!

“I grant you,” H. Klugh Purdy, Sr.,
of Ridgeland told Rivers, “that all
conditicns down there are just like
you say, I agree with you fully, but
what can we do?”
Olin Sawyer of Georgetown, whfe
said he felt “the long fihgers of that
Charleston machine across the Santee
river into my county” in the cam
paign in which he beat Veteran S. M.
Ward for the Georgetown senate seat,
congratulated Rivers on “beating that
machine.”
“We all love old Charleston” he
said, “but they do have the damnedest
politics.” He supported Rivers’ plea
for a recount.
“We are all too inclined,” Sawyer
said, “to say, ‘it’s politics,’ and lei it
go. But that is the sort of attitude
that changes governments. I can’t see
any harm in opening up the boxes
and counting the votes again to show
everybody that we hav e nothing to
hide”
J. M. Moorer of Colleton, said
Rivers made “A showing of irregu
larities and palpable fraud. He should
be congratulated in calling it to our
attention if he thought there was
fraud.”
“I maintain,” said Moorer, “it is
our duty to make some investigation.
In three other elections this very
matter has been brought up and it is
going to continue to be brought up
until good men like Mr. Rivers do
something about it.”
He said he believed the “good vote"
Rivers got in other counties of the
district “was in anticipation of what
the people of those counties believe it
would be done to him in the city of
Charleston.”
Not Only Place
Saying Charleston was not “the
onb place in South Carolina that has
political irregularities,” Edgar A.
Brown of Barnwell declared:
“It doesn’t do us any good to carry
on this argument at a time like this
when the national party is facing a
critical election.”
N. W. Edens of Bennettsville asked.
“Why should we continue to give back
hand blows at Charleston. We are
running a back trail. Mr. VonKolnitz
took his shellacking like a man. There
is not a peep out of him. He accused
Rivers of trying to “smear” Von
Kolnitz the defeated candidate.
“You can’t charge me with that,”
Rivers said. “I won’t stand for you to
say I have come here to smear him.
Fritz VonKolnitz is an honorable
man.”
Mr. Edens, a moment later arose
and said he believed he was in error
as to Rivers’ having mentioned his op
ponent’s name.
The official vote in the race was
18,523 for Rivers and 15,413 for Von
Kolnitz, and so Rivers was declared
the party nominee.

The official liquor referendum vote
was declared as 189,361 dry and 130,-
366 wet.
James H. Hamond of Columbia
protested against the vote being de
clared “on the grounds that the ques
tion is not settled.”
“I believe that the people have been
misled by the wording of the ballot
and I believe that the people who be
lieve in prohibition were fooled. On
what will tax be put to replace the
revenue lost when legal liquor stores
are out? I protest the vote on the
ground that it puts a question before
the legislature it can’t solve.” he said.
Here John G. Richards former gov-
ernor of Kershaw county arose to re-
mark, “The drys knew what they were
doing when they voted. And I want
to hear the vote in that election read.”
The committee voted to return the
entrance fee paid by the late Ran
dolph Murdaugh, Sr., of Hampton,
who was killed in an accident after
he had entered the solicitorial race.
His son qualified and was elected
after entries were reopened.
