Wiggins', publisher of the Harts ville Messenger, a weekly, said that press today,” he said in a prepared ! companionship with freedom of oppor- address before a meeting of South Carolina Rotary clubs, “is that while it has been jealous o' its own free dom, it has not been dually zealous in fighting threats to other freedom. “A press which does not constantly in fighting threats to other freedoms, of the people cannot expect the peo- tunlty.

Fanned by groups and individuals both in and out of government, these sparks from abroad may kindle fires that will con sume our heritage of freedom in America. “The sentry at the outpost o* the war on freedom is the free press. Its vigilance, its courage, its energy in identifying the enemies of liberty and laying down the guage of battle may determine the outcome of the con test.” Representatives of a number of clubs joined Batesburg-Leesville Ro- tarians in observing national news paper week, highlighted by Wiggins’s speech. v \ )NO MONEY YET \ Burr Leitzsey said he had hoped to have money by now to pay general election managers, but has not been able to get it.

Clary, Jim Johnson, Jake Dickert, Mrs. Jim Stewart, Mrs. T. O. Stewart and Mrs. Floyd Bradley. CR£WD HEARS CANDIDATES (Continued from front pag^) tion. Taking a slap at one of his op ponents and at the same time defend- inp his own pali4r, MrwERrhardt said that it was not the duty of city offi cials to bring in new industries) all they could do was to offer cooi»era- tion to such ventures, and adding that this had always been done. He quot ed figures to show that Newberry compared favorably with other nearby towns, Newberry operating on a bal anced budget and debt-free, while other towns that were being offered for comparison were saddled with debt. If elected, Mr. Earhardt said, he would continue to give Newberry an honest, progressive, and efficient administration. The next speaker aspiring to the office of mayor was Richard C. Floyd. Mr. Floyd at the outset of his speech wanted to brand as absolutely false the rumors being spread about “your vote.” He had lived in Newberry all his life, said Mr. Floyd, had served in the last world war, and had 1 been glad to do his bit. The next mayor, he said, should be one the voters could put confidence in to serve during the emengency we are now in. He said that if a public official couldn’t keep up with the times, he should stand aside for someone who could. He be lieved in a courteous, and efficient administration with favoritism to no one. He said' he wanted a balanced budget and that he would keep his promise if elected. He concluded his remarks by saying that he was no super-man tp make all kinds of prom ises impossible of fulfillment, but would do his best and work for the best interests of the city at all times. The last speaker on the program was Herman S. Langford, also can didate for mayor. Mr. Langford call ed up memories of his father and his grandfather, who were prominent in the civic affairs of Newberry. “I have visited your sick and beer, with you when a loved one has been called away from you, a nd you all know Herman Langford is honest and can be trust ed.” His only interest in entering the TAX NOTICE /gr f* ** CONGRATULATIONS!

Compar ing Newberry with nearby towns, Mr. Langford.showed how Newberry conn, ty had lost 1100 people and the city had gained a boi,t 200 while almost without exception all the surrounding towns had shown a greater percen tage of gain, and none t loss. More people mean more business and more jabs for our people. With our fine schools, churches, and institutions of learning Newberry needed a young, aggressive leader, and implied that he was it. An airport was needed for Newberry, Mr. Langford said, or New berry will be out in the country when the airplane becomes more common as a means of transports, tion. There' are maiiy ordinances on the statute • books which need revis ion, according to Mr. Langford, and if elected, he said he would always talk freely with all the people about all matters concerning the town. All other candidates were hrvtted td speak, but either were not present, or declined. Tomorrow (Saturday) night at 7:30 at Mollohon a second meeting will be held, at which time opportunity will again be given all aspirants to air their views, state their policies, and plead for the support of the voters. It appears that the first meeting has further stimulated interest which was already warm, and all indications point to an even larger crowd at the Mollohon meeting. Next Monday, the night before the election, the candi dates will have a final opportunity at a meeting on the public square.

In a speech prepared for delivery at a banquet sponsored in his honor by the Alabama farm bureau federa tion, Bankhead said “farmers do not favor a run-away inflation. Neither do they favor drastic limitations on the prices of their products with no compensatory limitations on infla. tionary price factors which increase the prices of the thiugs they buy”. “It is generally agreed,” the sen ator declared, “that when a surplus of any commodity exists there can be no inflationary price for that com modity. . . . There exists in this coun. try large surpluses of cotton, wheat, com and tobacco” and therefore “there is no sound reason for includ ing these commodities in a price con trol law so long as there are large surpluses in' the ever normal, gran ary.” Bankhead, a member of tie sen ate committee on banking and rency, said that “if cotton, wheat and com producers are to be given a chance to get parity prices and parity income, there must be reasonable flex, ibility in price ranges above parity prices as well as below these price levels.” NEW! -Empire W'atc/u SENSATION ALIY-PRICED!
