Those two are federal aid, whether it be schools, munici palities or whatever; and the National Council of Churches Many readeis thought I was “nitpicking” because I could see ominous trends in some seemingly small action or pro nouncement. “We can live with that,” they said, not realizing that by accepting the minor, they were giving the powers that be the go-ahead for further and more drastic actions.

The operational budget does not include across-the-board pay laises for city employees, but contains funds for salary in creases on the basis of service and promotions. The general government rev- t nue estimated for the 1908- 09 fiscal year at $404,490 does not meet budgeted expenditures of $040,025. Gity officials said profits of $210,195 from the utility de partment will lie transferred to finance general government operations to meet expenses. Gity Manager K. W Riebe "l "A! Voters of the county will go to the polls Tuesday to decide winners of a run-off primary for the offices of Newberry Magistrate and Commissioner District 2. In the Commissioner race, incumbent Ross George, who led the ticket in the first pri mary. will he opposed by Cus- tis “Hump” Shealy who came in second. Eliminated in that contest in the first primary were Harvey Lake and Hay ward Eulm-T. Enofficial returns placed James O Zohel, loader in the Magistrate for Newberry race, and Alvin G. Hipp in the sec ond race. However, the County Democratic Executive commit tee has received a protest ami request for re-tally of l h e votes from Thomas B. “Tom” Berry who was eliminated by the unofficial returns of the first primary. The committee will meet this (Thursday) at 10 a.m. to consider the pro test, according to Pinckney N. Abrams, chairman of the county Democratic party. Several questions were rais ed by Mr. Perry in his of protest to the county man. H* stated that letter chair- he felt. told council that transfer of u- tility revenues in such large amounts to support general gov ernment services each year can not continue. He said some of the utility profits should be returned to help finance general govern ment operations, hut some of the profits also must lie used to expand and update the present utilities system or “we will he unable to meet the demands of our system”. “Utility sy.-tem revenues and expenditures have nearly doubl ed m the last few years and I (Continued on page 12) Ml mi the margin between his near est opponent’s total votes and Perry’s total votes “was so small that this request is war ranted and justified,” He pointed out that there was some question of the val idity of the votes that were cast or not cast at Fail-view box. He stated that some vot ers at that box were instruct ed not to vote for a candidate for Newberry Magistrate; but that when the votes were tab ulated, tin' votes cast for that office were ‘-ounted. Mr. Perry pointed out that m the precincts which vote foi Newberry Magistrate, there were 518 more votes cast in the sheriff’s race, and 478 more votes cast in the house race than were cast in t h e Magistrate’s race. He also told the county chairman that at Ward 5, No. 2 precinct, one person who was not an election manager was deterred from helping a voter, while another person, also not a manager, was allowed to help a voter cast a ballot. Mr. Perry listed 2»i precincts with the vote for House, Sher iff and Magistrate, indicating the difference in number of ballots. For House there were 4713, for Sheriff, 4t>92 and for Magistrate, 4235. The executive committee to day will determine the validity of Mr. Perry’s protest. The polls will be open on June 25 at the same time and places as in the first primary and the same managers will serve. All voters of the coun ty are eligible to vote in the Commissioner District 2 race, since voting for each commis sioner is now county-wide. Only those in the Newberry magisterial district will In eligible to vote for the New berry magistrate. jpf« 'Mm WHS MB J\ \ w '-t w w “ w<* A ■ . ; .
