Maybank President’s Choke for Senate Job Washington, July 12.—President Roosevelt’s choice to succeed Sena tor James F. Byrnes as South Caro lina’s junior member of the upper house is Governor Burnett R. May- bank. The president has not yet publicly announced this choice, chiefly be cause Governor Maybank has “hot yet revealed his plans for seeking a seat in the United States senate. That his ambition is to represent the Palmetto state in the “world’s great est deliberative body” is obvious how ever. The governor has, apparently, not yet decided whether to face the critisicm of certain of his constitu ents in leaving the office of the state’s chief executive before his term is ended. If he follows the wishes of the president, however, he will do just that. There’s probably no other state executive in America who has a bet ter entree into the White House than does the governor of South Carolina. Often has he come to Washington without revealing his presence to the president because he did not want to be called to the White House and have his visit misconstrued by the people of South Carolina. While in Washington this week, Governor Maybank did not go to the White House until the ceremonies in which Senator Byrnes assumed the oath as supreme court justice, and then he remained only for the cere monies, leaving immediately with Dr. W. P. Jacobs, chairman of the state defense council, for a confer ence with officials of the office of production management on South Carolina’s power problems. However, the governor’s daugh ter, Roberta, who with Mrs. May- bank accompanied him to Boston for the annual meeting of the national conference of governors, went to the White House at the invitation of Mrs. Roosevelt and enjoyed a swim in the famous pool installed for the presi dent in 1933. In event the governor enters the special election campaign, he will be opposed by at least two members of the house, and maybe three, who have been consistently loyal to the administration. Representatives Joseph R. Bryson, and Butler B. Hare, who have al ready announced, have both suport- ed most of the major administra tion measures. In event of entry of Representative James P. Richards, a third house member whose record as an administration supporter is good will be seeking the office. Blatt, Hare, Hope Speak at Mountain On Friday, July 18, the Parent- Teacher Association of Little Moun- ton school will serve another of its famous chicken barbecue dinners at the school house. For the past four or five summers these chicken bar becues have been held and have drawn crowds from all parts of the counity and state. Little Mountain has the reputation of serving the biggest and best barbecue dinners in this section and this reputation will be maintained again this year. A worthwhile program with dis tinguished speakers is being planned for this day. Some of the well-known speakers who will be heard are Sol omon Blatt, speaker of the House of Representatives; B. B. Hare, Con gressman for this district and a can didate for James F. Byrne’s unex- pi-red term in the Senate; and James H. Hope, State Supt. of Education: Governor Maybank has been invited and it is hoped that he will be pres ent. The speaking will begin at 10 a. m., with dinner served from 12 noon until 2 p. m. All those who have ever attended one of these barbecue days at Little Mountain know what is in store for them again this year and, of course, will not miss this opportunity to be there on the 18th. Those who have never attended, should, by all menus, plan to be there. Jimmy Martin Receives Medical License James B.

Cotton-Order Stamps in Stares Is Explained What products may stores sell for Cotton Stamps when they make their debut in Newberry County under the Supplementary Cotton Program of the United States Department of Ag riculture? How will merchants re deem the stamps they have taken in trade? These and other questions of interest to local merchants and far mers who will participate in the pro gram beginning soon are answered by Mr. J. N. Beard, Chairman of New- bery county cotton industry commit tee, in a ceries of articles starting today in The Sun. Products Exchangeable for Cotton Stamps He said that “any new cotton pro duct made entirely from new cotton that has been grown, processed, and manufactured in the United States may be exchanged for Cotton Stamps. Naturally, many such products will have bindings, buttons, or other fast eners as well as findings and trim mings which are not made of Cotton. But these he pointed out, are not a part of the fabric and therefore are not a detemining factor. On the other hand merchants can not exchange any articles for Cotton Stamps in which any material other than 100 per cent American grown, processed, and manufactured cotton forms a part of the fabric structure. For example goods made from cotton fibers mixed with synthetic fiber, wool, silk, cotton linters, or non-spin- BARBECUE AT BUSH RIVER Barbecue at Bush River School on Wednesday, July 23, 12 o’clock.

Regarding his stock on hand, he should write to the wholesalers or manufacturer from whom they were puchased. On new orders he should request that the seller state on the in voice which cotton goods are made entirely of cotton grown, processed, and manufactured in the United States.” Get The MOST Tractor Hours For your Money WITH Sinclair Tractor Fuel More and more farmers in this locality are buy ing Sinclair tractor fuel.
