CANDIDATES TO ADDRESS VOTERS Only Campaign Meeting for This County to Be Held Tomorrow This county's only campaign meeting for candidates seeking nomination for county offices in next Tuesday's primary, will be held tomorrow. M. E.

Zeigler, county chairman. said yesterday the meeting would be held at the court house and is scheduled to get under way at! eleven o'clock. There are only two races in which there is opposition. which are of county-wide interest. These are the race for est representatives and the race for cotton weigher at the city of Orangeburg.

Other county-wide races include those for county treasurer. county auditor and judge of probate. The candidates for these offices are offering for re-election and are unopposed. races in the county are another magistrate and cotton weigher. All candidates for magistrate are unopposed except in District No.

4 where there are two candidates offering. In the races for local cotton weigher there is no opposition except at Elloree where there are two places to be filled with three candidates. Little interest has been shown in politics this year. This holds true with regard to the campaign for state offices and has been commented upon very generally throughout the county with recard to local politics. This lack of interest is reflected in the enrollment recently completed.

In view of these facts, the general comment on the streets for the past week or more has been to the effect that there will not be many voters who will take time 'out to attend a campaign just at this time. The majority of the voters reside in rural districts and they are busy just at this time with harvesting their crops. In addition the limitations which have been placed on the use of gasoline and the rationing of tires will have their effect on the meeting. Gas and tires are now being rationed on the basis of actual needs and in some cases these needs cannot be filled due to shortages. All of these factors will have their influence on the meeting to the extent that it is not expected that there will be any large audience to hear what the candidates will have to say.
