i ; i i ! i J' I 1 !; 1 ! !l . i Talmadge Back To Defend State's' White Supremacy' ATLANTA, July 18 P) The pendulum has swung again in Georgia it seems, tending Eugene Talmadge, the defender of white aupreinacy, to the governor'! mansion for the fourth time. The returns are not all in from yesterday's democratic primary the counting may last for hours yet and no one is con ceding anything, but Talmadgc's apparent lead is increasing. The unit votes are what count in Georgia and Talmadge has enough indicated unit votes to win, with some to spare. Yet 36-year-old James V. Carmichael is leading in the popular vote. Georgia's 159 counties, many of them tiny, have 454 unit votes. A candidate is elected with a majority, 206. The latest count puts Talmadge ahead in 97 counties with 220 unit votes. Carmichael, backed by Gov, Ellis Arnall, the man who de feated Talmadge four years ago on a reform platform, led in 100 counties with a unit vote of 234. The popular vole was: Car michael 206,052; Talmadge, 178, 814; Ex-Gov. E. D. Rivers, 36,973 and Hoke O Kelley, 6824. Rivers led in eight counties with 18 unit votes. O'Kelley had no unit votes. The returns were from 156 Homemakers Attend Camp It was a four-day vacation for a number of Klamath county homemakers when they left Wednesday for the Jackson Klamath Homemakers' camp at Lake o' the Woods. This camp is an annual affair sponsored by the county home economics extension committee and is held ""at the Salvation Army camp site. Besides the usual activities, such as swimming, hiking, music and nature lore, the va- ' cationers will have an opportu nity to learn shellcraft, taught by Mrs. Vivian Eichendorf, and Jeathercraft, under the instruc tion of Lloyd Seeley. Those who traveled to the lake were Mrs. E. E. Kilpatrick, Mrs. Irving White, Mrs. T. J. Webb, Mrs. W. S. Harsey. Mrs. Margaret Roufs, Mrs. Christiana Clark, Mrs. Earl Mack, Mrs. John Lott, Mrs. Lee Holliday, Mrs. Percy Cook, Mrs. Mabel ' Clark, Mrs. Minnie Andrieu, Mrs. Ruth Pfefferle, Mrs. Wil liam Jinnette, Mrs. W. M. Wil liams, Mrs. Effie Tolle, Mrs William Kafton, Mrs. C. H. Kelly, Mrs. Irving Duncan and Mrs. Winnifred Gillen, Klamath county home demonstration agent. counties. Many of the counties apparently still had blocks of votes unreported. The primary equivalent to the election in Georgia was the first time that negroes had voted in great numbers in the deep south. About 135,000 of them registered, and most voted. Yet Talmadge's election may mean the restoration of the tra ditional "white" democratic primary in Georgia which the U. S. supreme court said must go. Talmadge promised to bring back the white primary by put ting it beyond state, control, as South Carolina did two years ago. Opponents of such a change contend, however, that it would endanger the state's, unique county unit system which per mits small rural counties to dominate state affairs. White persons outnumber nesroes in Georgia nearly two to one, although in some counties it is the other way around. Total registration during the vitriolic campaign exceeded a million double the normal figure. Flashes Of Life TOO THOROUGH I JAMESTOWN, N. Y July 18 (.41 Mrs. Nora Davis wrote Mayor S. A.
