A very large percent of New berry county voters will cast their votes Tuesday for Thomas H. Pope for Governor They will do so because they know that he is a man of courage and ability, the type of man South Carolina so sorely needs at this time: they will do so because they have pride in their county and the public men it has given to the state and nation in the past and pre sent. From all indications Mr. Pope has an excellent chance to be in the second race. By a little extra effort on the part of each voter to see that members of his family, friend or neighbor, gets to the polls, hundreds of extra votes can be polled for him. Eight thousand votes from his home county would go a long way toward assuring second place for Mr. Pope, and it would be a fine tri bute for the services he has already rendered to this Whty, Little NO ABSENTEE VOTE THIS YEAR COLUMBIA, July 4 — Voters making plans to be out of the state July 11-first Democratic primary—should remember that there will be no absentee balots this year. Persons must vote in person under the state’s new election law. No provision is made for absentee voting. This was also the case in the primaries two years ago. Many inquires have reached of ficials here regarding absentee ballots for the primaries but there is only one answer—there will be no absentee voting. Because this election is such an imortant one many ersons are deferring vacations until after the first rimary. Besides select ing- several minor state officers, voters this year will name a gov ernor, United States senator and House members. Half of the counties will elect state senators! also. Moriat Nichols, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Nichols, spent last week in Cheraw with her aunt, Mrs. Dwight McAlister and family. Mrs. Estelle Summer and Mrs. Margaret Bobe, are spending this week in Conway with Mrs. Sum mer’s sister. Miss Marie Moore. Mrs. Grady S. Goggans is spending this week in Wood- bridge, N. J. with Mrs. Helen O’Connor and daugghter. Bj T*d Kestmg The primary purpose of stream er, bucktail and spinner flies is to get big fish, and big fish lie deep. Getting a fly down under the current is the first lesson in this type of fishing. An obvious method of sinking a fly deep is to weight it. The best form of weighted fly has a split BB or other metal ball clamped on the head of the fly in the making. Others are weighted in the body. A fly not preweighted can be fixed by winding the long shank of the hook with strip lead. Yet a fly, no matter how it is weighted, will plane to the sur face with the line and leader when it is under tension across it is handled in the water makes the difference claims fly fishing expert Dan Holland. For instance, when the fly is cast across current, it should be allowed to float free for some distance on an almost slack line. If the current is strong enough, the fly should be cast quartering upstream instead of across to give it a chance to get down.’ Another method is to drop the fly in the current where it surges over a rock and cuts under the surface beyond it. Or if it is dropped on the dividing line between current and back water, it will sink readily. In any case, once the fly is down under, you’ll get the most killing action with a series of short twitches, although all types of retrieves shoi^d be tried through any likely looking spot. Work the fly slow, especial ly where interested in walleyes, bass or pike. Even with large trout, you’ll have beter luck with a slow-moving fly. Often the current will grab the belly of the line and race the fly along in spite of every thing. To counteract this, the opposite: a slow retrieve. It will pay off. No matter what fly you use, make the stream work for you. (Let the current take charge. It is bound to carry the fly in the channels where fish expect food.
