Stevenson, speaking from his headquarters in Spring field, Ohio, this morning at 1:45, made a statement conceding the victory in the presidential race to Dwight D. Eisenhower. He said, "I have a statement that I should like to make. If I may, I shall read it to you. "My fellow citizens have made their choice and have selected General Eisenhower and the Re j publican Party as the instruments I of their will for the next four years. The people have rendered their verdict and I gladly acecpt it. "General Eisenhower has been a great leader in war; he has been a vigorous and valiant opponent I in the campaign. These qualities I will now be dedicated to leading , us all ttfrough the next four years. "It is traditionally American to 'fight hard before an election; it is equally traditional to close ranks as soon as the people have spoken. "From the depths of my heart I thank all of my party and all of those independents and Republi cans who supported Senator Sparkman and me. That which unites us as American citizens is far greater than that which di vides us as political partisans. I urge you all to give to General Eisenhower the support he will need to carry out the great tasks that lie before him. I pledge him mine. "We vote as many, but we pray as one. With a united people, with faith in democracy, with common concern for others less fortunate around the globe, we shall move forward with God's guidance to ward the time when His children shall grow in freedom and dignity in a world of peace. "I have sent the following tele gram to General Eisenhower at the Commodore Hotel in New York. 'The people have made their choice and I congratulate you. That you may be the servant and guardian of peace and make the day of trouble a door of hope is my earnest prayer. Best wishes. Adlai E. Stevenston.' "Someone asked me as I came in down on the street how I felt and I was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell, Abraham Lincoln. They asked him how he felt once after an unsuccessful election. He said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark— that he was too old to cry but it hurt too much to laugh." From time to time while Gov ernor Stevens was speaking his audience interrupted him with shouts of "No, no!" with regard to his concession of victory to Eisen hower. KE ACCEPTS VICTORY Shortly after Adlai E. Stevenson spoke from Springfield, Ohio, conceding the victory to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ike delivered the following remarks from his head quarters in the Commodore Hotel in New York. "I am not "ertain, my friends, whether or not" you iiave react or heard the telegram that Mr. Stevenson just sent to me. It reads, 'The people have made their choice and I congratulate you. That you may be the servant and guardian of peace and make the day of trouble a door of hope is my earnest prayer. Best wishes. Adlai Stevenson.' "Just as I came down to the ballroom I replied to that tele gram as follows: Ί thank you for your courteous and generous mes sage. Recognizing the intensity of the difficulties that lie ahead it is clearly necessary that men and women of good will of both part ies forget the political strife through which we have passed and devote themselves to the single purpose of a better future. This I believe they will do.' Sign ed with my name. "Now, my friends, it is trite to say that this is a day of dedica tion rather than of triumph. But I am indeed as humble as I am proud of the decision that the American people have made. And I recognize clearly the weight of the responsibilities you have plac ed upon me an dl assure you that I shall never in my service in Washington give short weight to those responsibilities. "To each of you here who has worked so hard to make this cru sade a success thjii far, to every man, woman, and child—and there have been many children in it— throughout the county who has helped, I extend my warm thanks and hope that the day will come when I extend that thanks in a more personal way. "Now all over the country there is more personal word of appre ciation—the courtesy, the warmth of the greeting that Mamie and I have experienced everywhere has been something that is memor able, indeed unforgetable. "And I also point out that we cannot accomplish all the job ahead of us except as united peo ple. And so let us really put into practice what I have tried to say so haltingly in the little telegram that I sent to my late rival. Let us unite for the better future of American, for our children, and our grandchildren. • "And now, my friends, it's been a long and sometimes hard, road but it's been great to meet you people, to work with you, all of us for a common cause. Good night." NIXON GREETS VICTORY Speaking shortly after Dwight D. Eisenhower made his speech of acceptance, Richard Nixon, victorious Republican vice-presi dential candidate, expressed his thanks "to the thousands of vol unteer workers all over American Republicans, independents, and Democrats— who joined in the crusade which has elected General Dwight Eisenhower president of the United States. "The result of this election is a great tribute to the faith and confidence that the American peo ple have in his leadership. In the Aynor Man Dies In Mulllns Hospital Edward Josh Collins, 76, of Ayn or, died in the Mullins hospital Friday night and funeral rites were held from the Gethsemane Baptist church Sunday at 3:00 p. m. with the Rev.

Johnson of Gallivants Ferry. natural gratification that we nave ! at this moment I think it is es sential for us to recognize the tremendous responsibility that a new administration must assume in the critical period ahead. As Dwight Eisenhower has said on occasion after occasion there is nothing that a 160 million united Americans can't do. "And I am confident that now that the election is over that we will all join together behind his leadership in a program which will advance the cause of free dom and bring peace throughout the world."

EISENHOWER RICHARD* NIXON RED DEVILS DEFEAT LIONS By Lawton Strickland The Loris Lions were halted to a shutout last Friday night by the Tabor City Red Devils 12 to 0. The Red Devils played a hard game of football all the way as the Lions were unable to repeat their great performance that they had displayed against Aynor the Friday night before. In the first quarter the Red Devils capitalized on the first break of the game by recovering a Loris fumble on the Lions' 42 yard line. From this point Tabor marched to the nine-yard line where Jimmy Gerald plunged through center for the first score. A pass attempt from Sam Waiden to Sunny Sanders was no good for the extra point. In the second quarter the Lions threatened with nice gains by Herman Spivey, but again the Red I Devils halted their drive by re covering a fumble again. Tabor's second score came in the third quarter as Tabor again cap italized on a break. Weldon Gore intercepted Horace Johnson's pass on Loris' 27-yard line and raced all the way to score. Again the pass attempt for the extra point was no good. During the entire game Loris would move for nice gains but they were either halted by pass interception or fumbles. Both teams played good foot ball but the Tabor City defense seemed to be the big difference in the contest. The sugar beet and the sugar cane produce more food energy pre acre than any other food. Two HC Men Receive Safe Driving Awards Safe driving awards were made to two Horry County men at a recent training school for county personnel of the South Carolina State Commission of Forestry. W. E.

Columbus introduced sugar cane culture to the Americas. A record number of voters went to the poles Tuesday and elected General Dwight Eisenhower presi dent of the United States for the next four years. The general won in a landslide, according to unofficial returns, in which he had more than a 5 mil lion popular vote majority and was leading in the electoral vote in 39 states. Stevenson led in only nine. Eisenhower succeded in break ing the solid South as Florida, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and perhaps other Southern states seemed in the Republican bag. North Carolina had a record number of votes cast as did the Nation as a whole. More than a million, one hundred thousand votes were cast in the Tar Heel State. The Republicans were beat en but still polled more votes than President Harry S. Truman did in North Carolina in 1948. South Carolina actually cast more votes for Eisenhower than they did for Stevenson, but in that they were split amoug two groups of electors, Stevenson re ceived the State's eight elctorial votes. Most North Carolina Counties went Democratic but some coun ties went Republican all the way. At least one Republican congress man from North Carolina was elected. William B. Umstead won the governor's race by a comfortable 200,000 votes. The vote in Columbus County, with 19 out of 24 precincts in, was Stevenson 6322 and Eisenhower 2485 giving Stevenson about 70 percent of the county's total vote. The vote in South Williams town ship was 742 for Stevenson and 248 for Eisenhower. In the Governor's race William B. Umstead polled 6164 votes to H. F. Seawell's 922 in Columbus County, 19 out of 24 precints in, while South Williams township gave Umstead 850 and Seawell 97. All State and County officers on the Democratic ticket, accord ing to unofficial returns, won a six to one majority. P.T.A.
