The sergeant told us we wouldn’t have time to bathe, shave or anything but to change clothes and pack up and be back in formation at 2:40. Now you see how much time we had. We left Columbia at 6 o”clock and arriy- en in Atlantic City abouf-one Sunday morning. We are staying at the Traymore hotel, a magnificent six- story structure right on the board walk, not more .than 100 yards from the ocean.

NOTICE OF PRIMARY ELECTION Notice is hereby given that a Dem ocratic Primary will be held in New berry county on Tuesday, September 8, 1942, for the purpose of balloting on a Lieutenant Governor, Comptrol ler General, Commissioner and Mag istrate. Polls will open at 8 a- ni. and close at 4 p. m. and only qualified Democrats may vote and only those persons whose names appear on the club rolls of the voting precincts will be allowed to vote. The same man agers will serve as in the first prim ary and the polling places will . be the same. The chairman or some member of each group of managers are asked to call for the boxes on Saturday, Sep tember 5, preceeding the primary. NEAL W. WORKMAN, Chm. MRS, A. H. COUNTS, Secy. The primary election had the un usual result of returning many Up- country members of the house of representatives to their seats for two more years, but in the senate there has already occurred a sub- tantial turnover, and more new faces could come out of the run- of primaries for the senate in four counties September 8. In the large Piedmont counties, where changes are frequent in house membership, there was an ex traordinary development. In Green ville, Spartanburg and Anderson every incumbent member of the house who offered for renomination was nominated. In the case of Spartanburg, the entire eight-member delegation was returned to office—and without the necessity of a run-off primary. In Greenville the same thing hap pened, except that Greenville, hat ing for the first time next year nine seats instead of eight, was compelled to nominate one new man. Anderson renominated three in cumbent members, they being the only three who offered. To fill its six seats in the lower chamber, An-> derson had to nominate three new men. This Upstate trend of sending the same man back to the house was true all over the state. There were fewer changes than in years. But for men to come back regularly from Lowcountry counties is rather usual. Fourteen new men, men who never before have been there, have been named to the senate, and it is possi ble that an additional four new ones will be nominated in the runoff p/i- maries on September 8. In each of these run-offs, there is a chance that an iincumbent senator may be renOra. inated. In each case, it will be a con test between a present member and a new challenger. Even a turnover of fourteen in one _ear in senate contests is unusually heavy. Eighteen new members out of one primary election probably would establish a new record for changes. Twenty-three ^.members’ terms expire every two years. In the changes which already have taken place, > as results of the ballot ing last Tuesday, seven incumbent senators have been unseated, some of them veterans and one of them, P. H. MoEachin, of Florence, one of the senate’s ablest members. Besides McEachin, the others who won’t be back are: J. M. Thomas, of Allendale; M. W. Murray, of Berk eley; George W.' McKown, of Chero kee; Heyward Brockinton, of Rich land ;Lang D. -Jennings, of Sumter, and J. Fred McLure, of Union. Incumbent senators who must fight for their senatorial lives in run-off primaries September 8 are: C. S. McCall, of Marlboro; F. F. Williams, of Pickens; J K Reece Fun derburk, of Lancaster, and, J. Doug las Manning, of Dillon. Some of the new members' of the senate are outspoken supporters of Olin D. Johnston, who will become governor at the same time they will take their seats in the senate. There was some speculation here last week on whether there would be a sufficient number of support- ers of Johnston in the senate to give him something of a bloc in that body, Perhaps it is too early to tell, but it is true that the Old Guard has lost some of its loyal members and could lose others in the September 8 second primaries. It happens, however, that the Old Guard (called that for the want ' of a better name, but meaning the men who generally are identified with the leadership of Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell), has retained a fair number of men among the sena tors who are holding over, whose terms do not expire until 1944. It already has become clear, how ever, that there is a possibility of new and possibly potent alignments in the state senate, and which may be of the greatest importance to the government. Mr. £dward (“Dood”) Epting has been made temporary superintendent of the First Baptist church Sunday school. We like this and know seme people in Greenwood who will be glad to see this little personal men tion. He is the right boy in the right place. The strength of George K. Laney in the contest for the lieutenant governorship has created a situation over which the prohibitionists are celebrating. Laney, for years an ac tive prohibitionist, led the field, and will run against Ransome J. Wil liams, of Mullins, in a second race. It was being recalled here last week that Olin Johnston made a dry speech at the state Democratic convention in May, as did Laney, and that with Johnston as governor, and Laney as president of the sen ate (in his capacity as lieutenant governor), there would be consider able strength for a prohibition move ment in the general assembly. Johnston did not make prohibi tion a plank in his platform in the contest for the governorship, but he made that speech at the convention, which, incidentally, handily defeated the dry resolution for which Johnsto'n was speaking.
