HOW SOLDIERS MAY VOTE
If you want your soldier son, or brother or sweetheart to vote
go TODAY and put his name on the club roll on which he
would enroll were he here in persocn; then go to the Secretary
of the party, Mrs. A. H. Counts an drequest an absentee ballot
for him—that is all there is to It. You DO NOT have to make
written application to the secretary for a ballot nor does the
soldier have the put his .name on the book in person—anyone
may do it for him. If you meet with any opposition in enrolling
i a solditrs’ name, call the attention of the manager of the book
to the following amended section of the primary laws:
“Rules 9 and 10 shall be modified to provide that Club
Secretaries may enroll any and all persons enumerated
above (soldiers and defense workers) without the neces
sity of their actually signing the Club Rolf or makingap-
plication for enrollment.”
If yo uare interested in some SOLDIER or DEFENSE WORKER
voting put their names on the book and ask Mrs. A. H. Counts
for a ballot—BUT—DO IT TODAY—JULY 28 is the LAST DAY!

working through the Mullins cham
ber of commerce, contracted with
growers in Marion, Horry and Dil
lon counties for approximately 150
acres of cucumbers at one cent a
pound, up to five and a half inches
in length, to be delivered to them.
Growers delivered 20,000 bushels
of cucumbers, received some $10,-
000 for a crop which takes less than
Vixty days to plant and harvest.
Cucumbers were 'eposit in the
fifty 400-bushel brining tanks,
where they were cured in salt water
for three months. As needed, they
were carried to New Bern, where
pickling was completed.
J. C. Floyd, who lives near Ma
rion, planted two acres and received
more than $430. His was an unusual
yield. The average grower got be

Farmers of the vicinity are look

Beer Tax Is More
Than All Last Year
Newberry county received more
money from the tax on beer in the
first nine months of the fiscal year
ended June 30 than it did in all 12
months of the previous year, state
tax commission figures showed here

The county and its towns already
have received $3,739.75 for the first
three quarters of 1941-42 as com
pared with only $3,583.08 in all of
1940-41. Payments for the final
quarter of April, May and June
will be made by midsummer and
will send the current total far above
the previous year’s.
This increase in beer’s popularity
has been general throughout the
state. Thirty-six counties reported
higher totals now from the beer tax
then they had for all of the preceed-
ing year and several others are just
a few dollars short of the full year
figures.

Little Mountain, received... 71.97
Newberry, received 779.98
Pomaria, received 32.88
Prosperity received 68.23
Silverstreet received .'. 18.92
Whitmire, received ........ 188.13
Newberry county gets a part of
the revenue from sales in towns and
also from sales in rural areas and
unincorporated industrial sections.
Here is how the county got its
money in nine months:
From Chappells sales $ 65.00
Little Mountain sales 100.76

Fighting Finish Asked
In Bond - Stamp Sale
Our special 10 day War Bond and
Stamp drive ends with the close of
business on July 10
The salesforces of Newberry stores
have done a wonderful job up to the
last report. We know that they will
lend every effort these last few daj^s
bo sell every bond and stamp possi
ble.
May we make a last suggestion?
Many a ball game has been lost in
the ninth inning, many a race lost
in the last lap, and many a prize
won by that last effort.
That extra effort will not be alto
gether for a prize, but an act of
loyalty and cooperation to our coun
try and an act of pride in helping
our town and county to meet its
quota for July, and an act of satis
faction in knowing that you haye
done your best.
There is a committee set ‘ip to
judge the winner and decide the
method of awarding the bonds.
The report through July 4 is as
follows:
Group No. 1 has sold $6,511.65
Bonds and Stamps. Mrs. Ruth Cous
ins of Sears, Roebuck company is
the leading saleslady in this group.
Group No. 2 has sold $867.85. Huiet
Clary of Clary Clothing company, is
leading salesman in this group.
Group No. 3 has sold $1,295.25, Mrs.
Blanche Dickert of the Newberry
Insurance & Realty company is
leading saleslady in this group.
Group No. 4 has sold $1,575.05, Mrs.
Mildred Purcell Davisof the Davis
Motor company is leading saleslady
in this group.
All figures quoted here and in pre
vious reports are for the entire
group. No individual salesperson
figures have been given out yet.
In our final report we hope to be
able to give recognition to those
stores that have made an outstand
ing record in this sale of war bonds
and stamps.—L. C. Graham, Sec’y
