"Dear Mama:
I was sorry that I could not
let you know when we left the Re

simply didn’t have time. We met
formation at one o”c!oek and our
names were read out for shipment
and we were then marched over to
the dispensary for a check-up, and
waited in formation until 2:20. 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. Wish you could see this
place, the omaments, etc are per
fectly beautiful. We possibly won’t
be here more than 18 days. By the
way I had breakfast in Washington,
D. C., but had to eat it on the train.”

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.
