The story was brought to La Crosse
today by Frank Wesley q ranchman
of Ruch county. He explained that
the wheat stands more than five feet
tall and 1t Is easy for q man to lose
himself In a field.
"Erni Is not q very tall man. and

a look ut his wheat. Leaving the

was a straight line expecting to strike

If Mayor l.. d. Jennings. of Sum-
ter, ordered two or three mmbers of
the Sumter police force to accompany
him on the campaign to protect him
and required the treasury of the
Greater Gamecock City to pay the
salaries and the travelling expenses of
the Sumter policemen, what would
the taxpayers Of Sumter do to the
Hon. l.. ID. Jennings?" asked q Sum-
ter citizen yesterday.
But" continued this inquisitive
Sumterite, and Sumterites are very
often very linguistic. wouldn't tho
mayor of Sumter be as fully justified
In using the Sumter guardians Of the
peace to go around South Carolina
for the purpose Of preventing free
speech. and intimidating or trying to
intimidate his three opponents and
the Democratic voters as the governor
OF South Carolina has and at pub
lie expense tOO?'
oh, we'll that may be true
enough" said another Sumterite, but
you know our Sumter mayor Lang
Jennings amt built that way, he is
not scared of anybody and all the
State constables put together can't
bluff Jennings out Of saying what he
starts out to say"
And another thing" put In an
other Sumterite. because Sumterites
must and will talk. they got to get it
out Of their systems this hot weather
you know. 1.-The mayor of Sumter
has no political. personal, or official
record that needs shot gun or pistol
protection to keep it under cover, and
jennings record, personally, officially.
and politically will stand the sunlight
and not fade or decompose, and he
doesn't have to carry the Sumter
health officer or police force around
with him and furnish them with dis
infectants and pistols to keep his rec
ord from being a stencil in the nos
trils Of people, don't you know.
Jennings and his record require no
police, constabulary or other 'protec-
tion.' Both will stand sanitary or
other kinds of inspection alright"
