Precinct at Aragon Blue Buckle.
THE county convention next Mon
day will be asked to provide a new
voting precinct at the Aragon-Blue
Buckle Mills in Rock HILL" said James
N. Benton of Rock Hill, who was in
YorKville last evening. "At the meet
ing of the Democratic clubs in Rock
Hill last Saturday the city was divided
into four voting precincts instead of
two and it was the intention to create
q fifth; but so far the matter has
fallen through. There are something
like 500 voters at the two mill villages
and now they are badly handicapped
in that they are so far removed from
the voting precincts up town. The
convention will be asked to recognize
a new club for their benefit"
Wants Radio Outfit. -..
I'D like to see the business men of
the town go in together for the pur-
chase and installation of a large radio
phone outfit" said ]. H. Carroll of
Yorkville, who was talking radio the
other afternoon. with a large outfit
the daily markets could be secured as
well as daily news reports and other
matters Of general interest to the peo-
pie Of the community. l am sure that
arrangements could be made to install
the radiophone in the new city hall
building where it would be conven-
lent and accessible to all. The cost to
any individual by this plan would not
be great and the feature would be one
of pleasure and profit to everybody
concerned. l for one would gladly go
my share IN the venture and l have
heard of a number Of others who
would gladly contribute"

night, having been invited to make "a
talk at the 103rd anniversary celebra-
ton of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. Discussing the political situ-
alton with Views and Interviews, fol-
lowing the celebration of the Odd
Fellows, Mr.. Bethea said: II have
definitely made up my mind to be in
the gubernatorial race this year and
am meeting with considerable en-
couragement at the hands of my
friends over the state. However, |
find so far that the people of South
Carolina are as yet not showing any
great amount Of interest in the ap-
preaching campaign but are more con-
cerned with problems concerning their
own private business"
