TAYLOR AND DAUGHTERS. NOTICE OF ELECTION -State-^-South Gari^ina, County of Laurens, - . Town of Clinton. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an election will be held in,the Town of Clinton, S. C., on Tuesday, Aug ust 13, 1940, for the purpose of elect ing a Mayor and six Aldermen. The polling place for said election will be at the City Hall, on the east side of beaten. That would mean that the British navy would fall into German hands and Germany would become master of the seas. And that would make our pwn position pretty aeti=. ous. SEAPOWER — Estential One of my friends pointed out, and the others agreed, that Britain’s de velopment into a mighty empire in toe past 200 years has been due to her control of the seas. With a great navy to rely upon, England and toe dominions have not had to drain their resources in maintaining great arm ies, as other nations have done. A na tion which could conquer England could conquer the world. A navy man showed me some fig 'There’s no.doubt whKf^er that the of South Carolina^ 1932, and who has present, war, unless it ends sooner | resided in the State for two yeaa, than I’m afraid it will, is going to [in the County for one year and with- further complicate toe American in the incorporated limits of the said -»r| much .(N our agriculture is depend- > in ^id Town of Clintoir tm Tuesday, ent upon sales overseas.

That would leave toe doesn’t much l-4c sea. It would be difficult, probably Laurens County. CITATION FOB LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION The State of South Carolina, - I* impossible, to protect the heart of our entire naval strategy, which is the Panama canal. We have two great seacoasts to defend and a navy hardly adequate to protect one of them. Our foreign policy for half a century has been based on reliance upon the British navy to guard our Atlantic shores while we watched, the Pacific. Whether we could build a tTrn nnosn and appear bcfi navy fast enough my naval friends doubted AIRPLANES — CrippUac The military aviation experts with whom I talked, agreed that pre haven’t anything to worry about in the way of attack from the air .unless and un til an enemy obtains air bases much nearer to our shores than any which any potential enemy now has. The effective range of fighting planes is not more than 500 miles from the home base, probably less. But within miles of our coasts are outposts like'" Bermuda, toe Ba hamas, Newfoundland and islands in toe Caribbean and the Pacific which . .an enemy with. strung navy migbt take and use as fuel depots and air plane bases. With planes launched from carrier ships they could crip ple most of our coastwise and ocean i merchant fleets. Our answer to that sort of threat would be in the air, toe flying men assured me and the naval men part ly agreed. It takes a lot of time to By J. Hewlette Wasson, Probate^ Judge: j Whereas, J. F.
