Old Custom Of Lining Up And Voting By Voice Still In Use NASSAU, Bahamas, Aug. 20. (Correspondence of the Associated Press) It's possible now for voters lined up alphabetically at the polls to elect their candidate to office in the Bahamas government, but a plan is afoot to change that.

The antiquated viva voce (oral) method of voting still Is used here, perhaps the only unit in the British empire that has not undergone election reform. In the Bahamas, with an approximate 90 per cent negro population, every proposal to introduce the secret ballot has been contested hotly on the ground there would be no white legislators. Recently the government announced another proposal to change election laws would be placed before the fall session of the legislature. Mark No Ballots Voters in the Bahamas mark no ballots. On election day they go to the polls and are asked for whom they wish to vote.

Their answers are entered on a printed form by a recorder. When Harry Oakes, Canadian gold mine operator recently defeated Millo Butler, negro grocer, for the Legislature in the Nassau election, the campaign was so well organized that Oakes' supporters were lined up alphabetically at the polls. Legislative authority rests In the hands of the governor and a legislative council of not more than nine persons, appointed by the crown, and an elected assembly of 29 members. Only one negro In the legislative council; four negroes are in the assembly. Women cannot vote in the Bahamas.

Men over 21 who own real estate or househould property to the value of $25 or more qualify as electors. Members of the legislative council on the representative assembly must own real or personal property to the value of $1,000. Veterans Spending Bonus Money Fast WASHINGTON. 20. 0P America's World war veterans spent 82 per cent of their bonus payment in two years and may pay out the remainder within a few more years, Figures obtained from the Treasury today showed that, since Congress authorized Immediate pay ment of the adjusted compensation In the summer of 1938, the veterans received $1,822,823,250 of $50 bonds.

All of these have been exchanged for cash except worth. The blKEcst cashlng-ln took place Immediately after the bonds were Issued, but redemptions now are running between $3,500,000 and 000.000 a month. Officials said they could not determine how much ef feet the business slump had on re demotions, because, as the outstand Ing supply of bonds dwindled, the redemption also declined. A few veterans are still getting their bonds after falling to claim them for more than two years. Last month $530400 bonus bonds were is sued to such claimants.

TUMBLIN REUNION SET GRAY COURT, Aug. 30. The descendants of the late Joel Tumblin will gather August 28 at 10:30 o'clock at the Henderson Baptist church near Tumblin Shoals for the family reunion. An Interesting program has been arranged. Dinner will be served BAHAMA III III VIVA VOCE VOTE DISCUSS ISSUES Candidates For Congressional Seat Heard In Darkness On School Steps ONLY 60 ATTEND The fourth district congressional race was literally shrouded In darkness last night.

Speaking on the front steps of the main building of Parker high school without lights before an audience of about 60 persons one third of whom were children Congressman G. Heyward Mahon, seeking reelection and his opponent, Joseph R. Bryson. followed closely along lines of previous speeches. TALK ISSUES The Incumbent, who was the first speaker, cited his record and explained reasons for having had his telephone removed while in Washington.

He also defended his action on the wages and hours bill and appointment on the military affairs committee. Bryson in turn took Issue on sev- i. if fc g-tj of Ustenera SSK! usual interest in the county campaign, and thanked the citizens of Parker district for the votes they had given him in the past. in bringing up tne fact mat nia name was not in the current issue of the telephone directory, Mahon said he was In Washington at the time tne directory was printed. He pointed out that he could be reached by telephone at both his office and his home now by asking the information operator for the num ber.

He said tnat service was restored immediately upon his return to tne city. continuing, he said he had a let ter in his pocket from the district manager of the telephone company telling him It was not his fault that his name was omitted. He denied that he had the telephone disconnected. EXPLAINS ACTION Citing the fact he was placed on the military affairs committee. Mahon said he felt it a distinct honor to serve on that body, pointing out that his two predecessors Sam Nichols and J.

J. McSwain had served on the same committee. He said that "does not mean I cannot take part in other problems arising in the chamber." Stressing his vote on the wages ajid hours bill, Mahon said the bill sent over to the House after it had been passed by the Senate did not provide a definite floor for wages and ceiling for hours. "That was why the bill was recommitted to the House rules committee for further study," he said, adding that the bill in its present form provides for a floor for wages and ceiling for hours. He said the wage scale would eventually go to 40 cents per hour.

He voted for the revised bill. In closing he Implored voters to give earnest consideration and referred to his seniority as a present memDer or House. He concluded by saying his voting record was the best of any representative in Congress from this state. BRYSON HEARD Bryson in openine: his speech, paid tribute to his mother who, he said, was present to hear him for the first time in the race. He called atten tion to the absence of personalities in the race by both candidates.

He said it had been his hone for years to become congressman from Mils district and mentioned that he had formerly worked in local cotton mills and saw service In the late World war, and referred to his practice of law in the city for the past 18 years. He said that Mahon had voted for repeal for the provision whereby the names of persons in this country making $15,000 and more annually were released to the press, thereby denying citizens of the privilege of Knowing "tne big boys. He said that his opponent could easily sue and recover damages from the telephone company for leaving his name out of the telephone directory If the district manager had written a letter to the effect that it was not the congressman's fault. He charged that in traveling over the district he had noticed that the placard of another candidate had been placed on poles belonging to the telephone company and Duke Power company, but that he had been denied the same courtesy. "If I am elected I will keep my office here open throughout the year for the citizens of the district, he declared.

In touching on the wages and hours bill, Bryson said that after the bill passed the Senate and went to the House that It was committed to the rules committee, where It remained until Senator Claud Pepper, of Florida, successfully ran for re-nomlnatlon with the bill as his platform. CHIDES MAHON "Then," the candidate said, "the members of the house got busy." He chided Congressman Mahon for "riding the fence" in the matter and added that the "only way Is to get on one side or other." Bryson charged that a congressman from this district should have gotten appointed to a committee on commerce or Industry instead of the military affairs body. He pledged to adjust the veterans compensation, if elected, declaring that an officer in the war had no right to receive any more compensation than a noncommissioned man. He closed by chiding Mahon for "sitting silently In the House," adding "I don't know whether he Is on speaking terms with the speaker of the House since the Congressional Record does not show where he has spoken to the speaker." Both candidates paid respect to the lata congressman, J. J.

McSwain, and referred to him several times In their addresses, which were cut to 15 minutes by mutual consent. Order prevailed throughout the meeting.

20 Funeral services for William Marion Chaney, 10, II mm longer than the runnerup PROPOSED EASLEY SCHOOL BEBUILT Crowded Conditions Cause Of New Program Cost Set About $242,000 LOT BE PURCHASED EASLEY, Aug. 20 According to a recent announcement made by the board of trustees of the Easley public schools and W. M. Scott, superintendent of the local school system, Easley will soon begin work on its second big school building program during the past decade. In 1929, three grammar schools-West End, Alice and Ariall were erected at a cost of approximately $96,000.00.

With the completion of this building program, superintendent Scott and other school officials felt that this would take care of the school needs of the children from the first through the sixth grades for many years to come, but even then there was a pertinent need for new high school buildings and equipment. As the years passed the number of students dropping out after a year or two of high school showed marked decrease and the Influx of students from neighboring communities became greater, condi tlons became more and more crowd ed and last year the need was so imperative that officials realized that something must be done at once, hence, the new hign school building program. LOT PURCHASE FIXED For this purpose the trustees have arranged for the purchase of tne F. W. Whitmire place oetween ren dleton street and Church street for a site for the proposed high school.

The tract, which contains about nine acres, is sufficiently large, not only for the proposed building but for other future buildings and an athletic field. Included in the pur chase is also a one acre lot directly across the street. The board plans to move the house, which is the old Whitmire residence, now occupied by Coach and Principal J. C. Brice and Mrs.

Brice, across the street on the lot acquired by recent pur chase. The proposed building will be erected at a cost of approximately $242,000.00. The present buildings will be continued in use during the present session and the newer portion may be used for some time in the future.

Explorer Winner In Arctic Battle PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20. (U.R) Experiences of Jacques Francine of Philadelphia, on an expedition to the wilderness of the Labrador Peninsula to collect mammals for the Academy of Natural Sciences here, read like those of trappers 150 years ago. Francine lived four months during the late winter and spring with a party of Swampy Creek Indians, sharing with them the hardships of short rations and the blizzards which sent the mercury to 40 degrees below zero. The scientist and a French trapper, Paul Millard, took an airplane from Quebec in March, flying approximately 500 miles north to Labrador, where they xtict the Indians.

With the coming of the spring thaws, the two white men and the Indians went by canoe down the unmapped Kowashamiska river. During the southward voyage Francine and Millard were chosen to baptize infants because they were white men and regarded as protectors from evil spirits. In a large lake across which the party traveled, Francine reeled in a 41-pound lake trout at a time when their rations of unsalted smoked suckerfish were exhausted. The party's destination was a Hudson's Bay Company post where the Indians traded their furs. who died of wounds accidentally sustained Friday morning, will be held at the First Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock.

During the last three years, 470 farmers, asking no favors and making no promises to the government, have put 10,000 acres of land into cultivation. xnis year os mnes oi rural routes had to be established to deliver mail to the new farmers. The parish school board has been forced to add an extra bus or two each year and new students are taxing the school facilities. The "new ground" farmers buy their 20 to 40 acre tracts from lumber companies that have cut over their holdings and want to make a final profit on the land. The farmers have grubbed out stumps, burned brush and saplings, and planted principally cotton In the rich soil.

The "new ground" residents sign no crop limitation contracts with the government because the lumber companies guarantee 10 cents a pound of cotton upto the amount necessary to meet the annual note on the farms. If cotton goes beyond 10 cents a pound, farmers may sell when and where they choose. One company reports the sale of 26,000 acres since it finished cutting The company still has 12,000 acres to sell on what are described as easy terms. The concern will turn over the land for a farm, with the lumber to build a house and barn. If the farmer will sign a note to pay $125 a year with the 10-cenUs-a-pound guarantee on cotton Included in the bargain.

The farms are paid for within 10 years. The farmers, however, have their problems.
