WILL co TO COLLEGE

Rev. Clayton Jenkins this week ad-
vertises his household effects for sale
at public auction. When asked for the
reason for this action Mr.. Jen-
kins replied that he was going to at
tend school. Realizing the handicap
which insufficient education places
upon a minister of the gospel, as
we'll as all other callings, Mr. Jenkins
has decided to get the full advantage
Of college training while he is yet q

LIGHT PLANT TO
CONTINUE NIGHT SERVICE

DR.. D. T. Teal announces that he
will not shut down the light plant, but
will continue the service at night for
the present, but will not furnish cur
rent during the day light hours un-
til the break in the dam shall have
been repaired.
A statement from Dr.. Teal is to
the effect that the effort to organize
the business people into a company
to handle the lighting plant has re-
suited in enough stock subscriptions
being promised to handle the bust
ness; but owing to legal requirements
some time will be required to COM
plet" the organization, Arrangements
have been made to repair the damage
done by the recent rains and in the
meantime the service will be continu-
ed at night.

HEALTH MEETINGS
WELL ATTENDED

The meetings held last week in
Chesterfield County under the aus
pices of the Department of Rural
Sanitation and County Health work
were very successful, due to the
hearty cooperation of Home Dem
onstration Agent Miss Mary c. Hay
ME. Five meetings were held in va
rious part of the county and each
was well attended. Short talks along
health lines were made by prominent
citizens of the county. Two reels of
motion pictures were shown, one on
tuberculosis and the other typhoid
fever. These pictures were very in
teresting as we'll as educational. DR..
l.. A. Riser, who is in charge of the
county health work, has this summer
Tor the first time sent truck, equip
ped with lighting plant and pro-
jecting machine, to the various coun-
ties of the state, under the manage
ment of Mr.. D. A. Burrows.
1t is hoped that ir the near fu-
ture Chesterfield County will take
the steps necessary in establishing a
county health department, consisting
of a physician, two nurses and as
many inspectors as are needed. The
good derived from county health
department has been so clearly
brought out that this county should
be inspired to establish unit.

LOOKS LIKE SMITH
INDICATIONS THAT SENIOR
SENATOR WINS EASY
VICTORY
Returns Are Very Incomplete But
Point To A Landslide Away
From Warren, Pollock And
lrby

incomplete returns obtainable in
Chesterfield last night pointed strong
ly to an overwhelming victory in the
Senatorial race for Senator Ellison
Durant Smith, the present incum-
bent.
In fact it looks as if there may not
have to be second race, as the vote
so far received gave Mr.. Smith al
most as many as his three opponents
combined. However, there were still
nine counties to be heard from and it
is possible that the Senator's majority
may be cut down when all these are
heard from, but the fact that Smith
is away in the lead will not be chang
ed.
With returns in from 81 out of the
46 counties Mr.. Smith had 22,3SO;
George Warren $4,000; Mr.. Pollock
$500 and w. C. Irby 3,O39.
w. w. Moore seems to be renomi-
mated to the Office of Adjutant and
Inspector General over his opponent
A. H. Marchant.
j. Wilson Harvey was far in the
lead for Lieutenant Governor.
The vote for the office of Rail
road Commissioner gave Frank w.
Shealy very substantial lead over
his opponents, D. M. McCaskill, r. L..
Moss and D. L. Smith. The latter
candidate was second and will prob
ably be in the second race with Mr..
Shealy.
The following state officers were
renominated without opposition: R.
A. Cooper, Governor; w. Banks
Dove, Secretary of State; S. M.
Wolfe, Attorney General; S. r. Car
ter, State Treasurer; John E. Swear
ingen, State Superintendent of Edu-
cation; B. Harris, Commissioner of
Agriculture.
Walter F.. Duncan of Aiken. was
elected to the Office ofComptroller
General without opposition.
Three congressman were renomi-
mated without opposition. These are:
James F. Brynes, Second District; w.
F. Stevenson, Fifth and P. H. Stol,
Sixth.

ton, but there is possibility of q
shift that will cause Mr.. Douglass to
exchange places with Mr.. Young. Mr.
Douglass was leading by the narrow
margin of six votes, with Pee Dee yet
to be heard from. It is expected that
Pee Dee will cast about 80 votes, SC
1t can be seen that much depends
upon whom Pee Dee looks upon with
the greater favor, Mr.. Douglass OF
Mr.. Young.
Messrs. Gulledge and Pate will
compete in the second race for Coro-

While the above conclusions are
not based on an official count, the !
are made from the figures furnished d
from the various precincts by the

change the standing of any of the
