IS THIS YOU?
Mrs. James Leavell and Ned Pur
cell were the two persons described
in the Sun last wek.
This week our first description is
of a gentleman who lives in the Mt.
Bethel-Garmany secton of the ioun-
ty. He was seen one day last week
Bethel-Garmany section of the coyn-
ers with a light stripe in them, blue
shirt, black bow tie and a “cooter”
shell hat. He was smoking a cigar as
usual. When someone asked him
about being so dressed up. He re
plied, “My other suit got wet and I
had to put on my Sunday best.”
Our second description is also of
a gentleman seen one day last week
standing in front of the Sun office
talking with two of his teachers. He
was wearing a grey suit with light
stripes in it, white shirt, straw hat
with a brown band on it and black
shoes. This gentleman is about the
busiest person in Newberry these
days. He has grey hair, blue eyes
and wears glasses.
If either of the above descriptions
could be you, come by the Sun office
and receive your ticket which entitles
you to a quart of FREE ice cream
from Stoke’s Drug Store, compli
ments of S.toke’s and the Sun.
Mrs. I. O. Shealy, of Clinton, was
a visitor in Newberry Friday.
SOME SENSE—SOME NONSENSE
A recruiting sargeant was trying
to convince a half-wit that he wasn’t
mentally suited for the army. .He
asked him: “What would happen if I
would cut off one of your ears?”'
The fellow said “I could hear just
half as well.’
“Well, what would happen if I
would cut off both your ears?”
“I couldn’t see.’
The sergeant said: “Well, why
would’nt you be able to see if I cut
off both ears?” Thinking he had him.
“Because my hat would fall down
over my eyes.’
“Editfh, : he whispered, “will you
marry me?”
“I don’t know, Tom,” she replied
coyly.
“Well, when you find out,” he said
rising, “send me word will you? I
shall be at Eva Gordon’s until ten
o’clock. If I don’t hear from you by
then I’m going to ask her.'
If a man says he is leading a dog’s
life does it mean he is going from
pillar to post?
“Why do you say that beautiful
photograph of your wife was a Snap
shot?”
“Well, it must have been. Her
mouth was shut.”

The above map of the country shows the War Bond
Quota by states for the month of June totalling $800,000,-
0#0. Everybody every pay day is expected to invest at
least ten per cent of his income in War Bonds to aid in
inanclng America’s offensive against the Axis powers.
The ultimate quota for the nation will be on a basis of
one billion dollars per month effective in July. This sum
is necessary to provide for all-out production of planes,
guns, ships and munitions adequate to arm our fighting
men with the tools necessary to win the war.
BLEASE RUNS FOR SENATE
(Continued from page one)
that a few days ago he had “no idea
of being a candidate.” Then he re
lated developments which, he said, in
spired him to enter the race.
He said his statement of last Tues
day apparently had been misunder
stood. He emphasized that he did not
declare he would not be a candidate,
but “I state it was not my intention”
to be a candidate “and I assure you
that when I wrote those words, it was
the truth.”
The former chief justice then re
lated a story from a farmer friend
who came to him “and told me what
happened to him last fall.” Blease
said that this man’s wheat had been
measured and a government agent,
through some error, had told him he
had 83 bushels too much and it would
have to be destroyed.
“My friend told him, ‘I haven’t been
raised that way, I’ve been raised to
save for the evil day.’ ” Blease said
the man was turned down even on a
request that he be permitted to give
it to an orphanage.
“I would to God you would run for
the senate,” Blease said in quoting
that farmer.
He also related the incident of a
woman who, seeing him after his
statement of last Tuesday, told him
she didn’t know he was ‘feather-leg
ged.’ She said she had boys on Ba
taan who had eaten mule meat.
Blease said he told her he was sick,
th^t “the campaign would kill me,”
and quoted her as saying he would
be taking no more risk than her boys
in the armed forces.
“Then Sunday night, he said, be
looked at the picture of his mother,
and it told him, in effect, to run.
The former chief justice told the
story of Jonah and his flight from
his conscience, and his epxerence with
the fish. And on Sunday night, the
former chief justice said, he saw “a
big fish,” in fact, several of them.
“One was the fish of corruption,”
he said, “and another that of a whole
lot of federal officers, going around
making people ■ destroy their wheat,
and another was that of money and
corrupt politics.”
Mr. Blease said at this point he had
been so busy receiving congratula
tions on running that he hadn’t had
time to write a speech.
Then he launched an attack on
the “confusion” at Washington. “Some
of them don’t know their left hand
from their right,” he declared. They
have thousands up there, some telling
you to kill your pigs, some telling you
to conserve meat, and some telling
you you can’t have gasoline v/hen you
can go to Tennessee and get all you
want.”
Just here Blease said with great
emphasis, “Tomorrow you are going
to hear, in the papers, that Eugene
Blease is a demogogue just because
he said the office holders are eating
up the substance of the people. Is
Eugene Blease a demogogue like Jef
ferson and Andrew Jackson?”
The candidate then warned that it
would be false to say that he is fight
ing the administration of Roosevelt,
“when you bear that Blease is fight
ing Roosevelt and the administration,
you will know that it is false.” He
said he would say to Roosevelt, “I
want to be with you and help you get
rid of the parasites around hqre,
bothering you about jobs when you
are trying to help our boys win the
war. t _*
Biease added, “I am against a lot
of his advisors and a lot of those who
are trying to pull him down for their
own selfish reasons. I want to help
him and I expect to; I want him to
know what the people of South Caro
lina are thinking.”
The former chief justice said:
“This is a preliminary speech,” indi
cating that he would discuss many
things more fully later on.
“This must be a campaign of ed
ucation, a campaign to open the eyes
of our people, to help win the war, to
help win the peace, to help America,”
'he asserted.
“God bless America!” he exclaim
ed. “God bless Senator Maybank!
God bless me!”
Lexington, June 2.—South Caro
lina’s surprising 1942 political cam-
paign was launched today at the
Lexington county court house with
little formality and less excitemeiit.
Fewer than 200 people—most of
them identified as residents of Col
umbia or other communities in the
state—atttended the session, first pf
a series " tentatively scheduled to
reach every county in the state.
As the first meeting in the state
iteniary, it marked the first oppor
tunity for the “Big Four” among the
candidates—Burnet R. Maybank of
Charleston and Eugene S. Blease of
Newberry for the U. S. Senate; Qlin
D. Johnston of Spartanburg and
Wyndham M. Manning of Sumter for
governor—to appear during t)he cur
rent campaign.
The meeting also provided an op
portunity for a dozen candidates—
some of them unopposed—for lesser
state offices to make a public ap
pearance.
For the major candidates, the
meeting afforded a “sounding board”
to test platforms for the summer’s
campaign. Taere were no departures
from the line of campaign previously
anticipated from each of the four.
As one of the “Big Four” summed
it up: After all, this is just a pre
liminary meeting. A man would be
foolish to go out on a limb now and
leave himself there for the other fel
low to snipe at for the rest of tfce
campaign. It (the campaign) may
warm up later, however.”
The portly man was trying to get
to his seat at the circus.
“Pardon me,” he said to a woman,
“did I step on your foot?’
“I imagine ,so,” she said after
glancing at the ring, “all the ele
phants seem to be in the ring.”
