ARMFIELD We rushed our family through supper the other Saturday night, so we could get to Mollohon park in time to hear the first candidate speak. The first of Newberry’s speaking campaigns in this year’s city election was to be at six o’clock. The skies were overcast as we drove over to Mollohon, and we wondered whether rain would disburse the crowd before the speaking could be finished. As we approached the park, only one or two cars were seen park ed nearby. We had just about decided the meet was to be at the ball park, but then saw Henry Cannon and “Pick” Salley and two or three other persons sitting on the stepsi of one of the buildings, so stopped and joined the “crowd”. Ansil Martin came over to report that everyone was at the ball game, the score was 2 to 1, the game should soon be over and the meeting coul dbegin. By that time—about 45 minutes from the scheduled time of meeting—the clouds were darker and there was no longer any doubt that before any crowd would gather, the handful of persons present would have the choice of going home or remain ing to get a thorough soaking. Candidates and newspaper re presentatives seem to be a hard lot, so we stuck it out to wait for the end of the ball game. The game ended . . . final score 2 to 1 . . . but the baseball fans were evidently exhausted after an afternoon of cheering the home team. The cars passed, leaving the ball park, but not one stopped. Several persons crossed the park, threw a cas ual glance our way, went on. A deep roll of thunder brought the decision—five minutes later the park was empty. The seeming lack of interest in political matters in Newberry is appalling. Or perhaps the answer is that the voters have already chosen their man. There is a larger enrollment this year than in previous years. How many of the 2871 enrollees are really interested in a good city government will be indicat ed when the votes are cast and the final tally made next Tues day. FARMALL CUB BE SHOWN TUESDAY The International Harvester Farmall Cub, “a cub in size but a bear for work”, will be dem onstrated by Johnson-McCrackin Tuesday, August 12 at 9:00 a. m.
