Stone Bests Chapman In
Probate Judge Contest
Lonnie Graham Re-elected
Despite the almost solid backing
of the Newberry bar, B. V. Chap
man, long a figure in county poli
tics,'was defeated in Tuesday’s Pri
mary by youthful Maxcy Stone,
veteran of the Pacific war and a
law student. This was Stone’s first

trip in county politics. The two
Whitmire boxes rolled up a ma
jority of 404 votes for Stone. And
it is apparent that he had some en
thusiastic backing from many ex-
G. I.’s, and the organized blessing
of the Whitmire and Newberry
Chapters of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Lonnie M. Graham was return
ed to the office of Magistrate at
Newberry by less than 200 votes
(see table) over his opponent, J. B.
Coward. Mr. Graham is now serv
ing his first term. Results of other
Magisterial races will be found in
the tables elsewhere on this page.
Twenty - seven - year - old Bryan
Dorn badly defeated the veteran
Butler B. Hare in this county as
well as in the District. Reference to
a table of this page will show that
neither Hare nor Dorn made very
,mpressive showings at home boxes.
Dorn’s poor showing in Greenwood
may be explained by the fact that
Mr. Hare’s secretary, J. P. Wide-
man, is also a Greenwood man,
and said to be very popular there.
Mr. Hare’s failure to gain but little
more thar balf the Saluda vote is
not so easily explained. Perhaps
there is no explanation other than
that the people wanted a change.
Thurmond was heavily favored
in Newberry County in the govern
or’s race, having received 2,382 as
agctinst 971 for John C. Taylor who
took second place. McLeod placed
third with 799 votes and John T).
Long fourth with 571. The pres
ent governor made a very puny
showing here, receiving only 152
votes.
George Bell Timmerman, Jr., re
ceived 2,717 votes for lieutenant
governor while R- E. Hanna came
in second with 1,244. John C. Wil
liams, said to have labor’s backing,
got 954 votes.

whelming majority in Tuesday’s

MODERN HOME
FOR STUDEBAKER
The concrete base has been pour
ed and construction will be pushed
rapidly on the new auto home of
the Lipscomb Motor Company on
College street, opposite the service
station of George Hipp. The new
building, conveniently near the
center of town, will be of modem
type, designed especially for auto
sales, repairs and the dispensing of
gasoline.
The structure will front 101 feet
on College street and have a depth
of 85 feet. The entire front and a
portion of the side next to town will
be constructed of builder’s glass. A
large show room for the display of
Studebaker cars will be located on
the front of the building. There
will be an off-set about half way
the building on the front to provide
for a complete gasoline service
station, with rest rooms, wash rooms
and other conveniences for the pa
trons of the firm.
The lot upon which the new struc
ture is rising extends to Scott’s
creek and will be filled in to provide
parking space and a roomy yard
for the servicing of cars.
One room of the building will be
constructed especially for the easy
handling of a large stock of Stude
baker parts and this department
will be in charge of “Rusty” Wilson,
now connected with the Lipscomb
firm.
The Lipscomb brothers (E. M. and
James L.) will feature their repair
department. Now employed in this
department are.D. F. (Jake) Senn,
foreman; Keisler R. Riley, Floyd
•Mills, and W. Croaker Dorroh.
It is the hope of the owners that
the new Studebaker home will be
ready for occupancy by the first of
the year.
