THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, 8. C.
>AY, AUGUST 29, 1940
Re-elected For Second Term
SHERIFF CALDWELL W. WIER
Who was easily re-eIect«J in Tuesday’s primary over his opponent, Tom
D. Abrams, by a majority of 2,140. The unofficial vote stood: Wier 5,819,
Abrams 3,679.
Sheriff Wier is a native of Jacks township and before his election
four years ago was a member of the Clinton city police department.
is prepvaring to go into plane pro
duction. The Packard company is
about ready to start on the produc
tion of 3,000 British-type Rolls-
Royce airplane ermines. Every other
motor manufacturer in the country
is in a similar state of readiness to
go ahead once the bars are let down.
Announcement Surprises
The President’s announcement that
he is in negotiation with Great Brit
ain for the establishment of naval
bases on British territory in the
Western Hemisphere came as a sur
prise. Nothi.,g has been disclosed
as to how payment would be made
for s'-;‘h sites in ibc Wc.st Indies
or Canada. The proposal to deliver
50 of our antiquated destroyers to
Britain still hangs fire. Either some
such “swap” or the reduction or can
cellation of Britain’s war debt to this
country might be our payment for
the right to establish naval bases
on the islands of Barbados and
Trinidad, and in Newfoundland and
possibly Nova Scotia, as well as
Bermuda.
All such plans depend largely up
on the final outcome of the German
attack on the British Islands. There
is a strong belief here among mili
tary experts that Britain is certain
to lose. That is offset by the remark
able exhibition of courage and unity
by the British people, and their ap
parent success in their air raids on
strategic German centers and in
fighting off the Nazi air attacks.
the probability of a famine tpreadn
ing all over Europe before spring
and millions of persons dying of
starvation.
As a result of Candidate Willkie’s
declaratiorv that, if elected, he would
start prosecution against every con
tributor to. the Democratic campaign
book of 1936, that party’s manager^
are figuring on how to give the
money back. The attorney-general
has declared their plan for a similar
book of paid advertising this year is
iUegal. And Mr. Willkie has caUed
on the Republicans to refund the
money they collected in ’36 for ad
vertising in the convention program.

The Clinton city schools will open
their 1940-41 session next Tuesday
morning as already announced. The

erything is in readiness for the for

Supt. W. E. Monts stated yester
day that the vacancy in the faculty
caused by the recent resignation of
Miss Georgia Bee Blakely has beoi
filled by the election of Miss Kate
Milam of this city. Miss Milam, who
is a graduate of Winthrop college,

The President, in the course of his|
inspection of the Army and National
Guard forces engaged in training
maneuvers in northerA New York
state, met Premier Mackenzie King,
of Canada at Ogdensburg, and he!
promised that the United States
would enter , into an agre«net\t for

Germany conquer the United King

The expectation that Ambassador
Cudahy, recalled from his Belgian
post “for consultation” would either
be reprimanded or fired or both be
cause of what he was quoted- by
'London papers as saying about the
