Candidates for secretary of state,
w. Banks Dove and ]. c. Dozier,
did not speak because Of the
threatening weather, as rain be-
gan falling.
The crowd today, which probab-
ly at no time numbered as many
as at Newberry, but because Of its
constantly changing makeup rep
resented a large number Of per-
sons. was decidedly liberal with its
applause.
While the candidates showed
feeling at times, no one in the
crowd displayed anything but the
best of spirit and all candidates
were cordially welcomed: to the
platform and applauded as they
retired.
Baskets of flowers were pre-
sented to former Governor Blease,
to Mr.. swearingen and to Mrs.
Rogers Drake, candidate for SUI
perintendent of education. Mrs. E.
B. Wallace, the other woman can
didate in the. party and the last
speaker Of the day, because Of the
rain preventing the candidates for
secretary of state being heard,
was also given a hearty welcome.
The majority of the candidates
tonight accepted the invitation to
speak at South Greenwood.
The meeting today was presided
over by the county: chairman, G.
G.. Dowling. The campaign party
is at .Laurens tomorrow s. and at

The award of the contract to
Simons & Mayrant Construction
CO. for. building the approaches TO
the. Wateree river bridge at Car
ner's Ferry IS now up to the sum
ter County Board Of Commission
ers, the State Highway Commission

ed to appropriate toward the cost
of the .4.4 miles iof causeway ana

as. recommended by the State
Highway. Commissioners will be
held at. an early date to consider
the, award Of the contract, as rec

by a representative of the State
Highway department who confer
red with the Sumter board that
unless the. contract is awarded
promptly and work started at an
early day it will be impossible to
complete the approaches and open
the road to traffic until late next
year, as construction work cannot
be carried on in the swamp salts
factorily during the winter months.
If the contractors do not get start
ed within very short time the
opening of the road TO Columbia

If cooperative marketing did not

News Writers Are
Hampered by Facts

FACTS are stubborn things
and most disconcerting. For
example, two perfectly good
stories have been spoiled by facts
during the last week. Just as
we were preparing to greet Miss
Nadedja stancioff, the first wom-
an diplomat accredited to Wash
ingtcn. with a welcoming hand
and reams Of publicity. came
word that this little lady had
been appointed secretary Of the
Bulgarian legation in London and
not the legation in Washington.
And the thrilling story OF how
Miss Maud Miles, the first woman
attache to an American embassy,
: had cleared the Golden Gate for
the Orient was exploded by a
little investigation which. dis
closed that Miss Miles has no
diplomatic rating and Is TO serve
as secretary or clerk to the COM
mercial attache.
The appointment Is. however, a
most desirable one and came in
recognition Of Miss Miles eff
cient work as secretary to the
American advisory committee at
the conference on the limitation
of armament. As a matter Of
cold fact there are no women In
our service who have diplomatic
status. Three or four women
took the examinations for admis-
sion to the diplomatic service a
few weeks ago, but their exami.
nations have not been heard
from yet, and I understand that
the only other woman who ever
took the examination failed to
pass.
It Is presumed that the change
in the appointment Of Miss Stan
cioff was made at the request
Of the prospective young diplo-
mat because her father is the
Bulgarian minister to the Court
OF St. James and she wished to
begin her career under his i'm
mediate direction.
