Harvey Lankford, who enlisted in the Marines over a year ago has been promoted to Sergeant. He has been som'ewhere on the Pacific, probably in Aus tralia, for sev'eral months and is doing a swell jdb with his men. Lankford began his newspaper career with the Eagle in 1927 or 1928, beginning as a printers Devil and worked himself up to foreman of the shop before he left here to accept a job as lino type operator with the larger daily papers. A' the time of his enlistment in the Marines he was connected with The State, a daily paper published in Columbia, South Carolina. We recall the only trouble Lankford ran into while foreman ol tile i^igle, was when he attempt ed to tire Lloyd V. (Rat) Carpen ter, who was at that time Lino type operator here. He and Car nenter had a run in, about Car penter not producing as the fore man thought he should Lankford fired Carpenter, but the operator remained at his machine and refused to leave. Lankford threat ened him several times, but the operator stayed at his work. The foreman demanded that he leave, but Carpenter would not. ex claiming that he did not have to quit, that Lankford had not hir ed him, therefore he could not fire him. The foreman, then came to the ntesent manager of the Eagle, all excited, as this was his first chance to show his authority, telling him what had happened and asked the manager to go to Carpenter and demand that he leav'e at once. This request was done, but the operator told the manager the same thing he had told Lankford, "You did not hire me, neither can you fire me", and he refused to leave his work. Af ter Lankford left, Carpenter was promoted to foreman of the shop and did a good job of it until Un cle Sam called him into the arm ed forces of the United States. Carpenter would be with us on and on. if Uncle Sam had not called him. as he could not be fired by any one of us, as none of us had hired him. Lankford was the originator and writer of a column known as "Flashes and Dashes” published in the Eagle for a long time and it was received with much praise by admirers from all parts of the country. In 19.13 Lankford held the dis tinction of being the youngest linotype operator in the South while with the Eagle. As in his newspaper work, al ways working towards the top, so it is with him in the Marines already Sergeant and we are betting on him going on up high er. His address is St. W.
