VOL. 11, NO. 12 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM By The Way - • - By DORIS ARMFIELD Two more meetings, and the candidates will be through with making public appearances be fore the county voters. Tomor row night. Willowbrook park will be the scene of the bust ing, and on Monday night the city meeting will be held at the court house. Both meetings are at 8:00 p. m. I felt sorry for the candidates at Oakland Saturday night last. No public address system was provided for the occasion, and the candidates had to try to speak over the noise of the mill and the chatter of people in the crowd. No matter how loud they shouted, they just couldn’t be heard by everyone and most Of them still had sore throats on Sunday. A good P A system was installed at Whitmire, and the group gathered to hear the speeches was much more atten tive. because they could hear what was being said. In fair ness to the candidates and to the audience. I think loud speaker systems should be se cured for the last two meetings. I am not going to write much this week. I’m going to give the politicians as much space as possible for their last pleas to the public. However, I do want to mention that as usual on election Tuesdays, The Sun will be open on Tuesday night. We will stay op>en to tabulate the returns as they come in from the precincts and put them on a bulletin board outside where you can see them. An<j just in case you can’t get close enough to see the board, because of the crowd which always gathers on Col lege street, we’ve arranged to have a loudspeaker system to keep you informed. You can probably guess who has been chosen to do the “loudspeak ing.” there is no one quite as good at that in Newberry as Prof. T. E. Epting, and “Dude” has consented to be master of ceremonies Tuesday night at the Sunoffice. We’ll look for ward to seeing you here. Re turns should be coming in by 5:00 p. m. from the county, and we’ll also have returns in the Senate and Congression al races for you throughout the evening.
