CLINTON REALTY & INSURANCE CO. B. Hubert Boyd Phone 6 DETROIT.—The nation’s car and truck manufacturers have set their sights at the highest volume of out- | p.ut ever attained in a single year, j • According to the best estimates available, approximately 3,555,J00 i cars and 1,235,000 commercial ve- j hides were made in U. S. plants | last year. In planning for 19-18, pro ducers are aiming at an increase of ; from 10 to 15 per cent, t unpared with the 1947 total pf nearly 4,800,- 000. ' . ' | Figures for the year 1947 are un- i official and subject to revision, which could be upward as easily as downward. In any event, now that 1947 has gone, most of the car mak ers admit that despite all the mate rials problems they encountered, it was a good year for production and for completion of expanded facili ties. Ahead of the industry are more problems regarding steel, particu larly in cold and flat rolled types. But the vehicle makers found the required material in 1947 for a near record production volume, although they went to unusual extremes to get : it into thdr factories. Their planning for 1948 is based largely upon the experiences of last year and most of them express the belief that if the Marshall plan for European relief does not bring about a rationing of materials, they will be able to get U. S. car and truck production well above five million units in 1943. . ^ _ The record for one year is the 5,358,420 units turned cut in 1929. -REMEMBER- Rulane Gas # « Service Is CLEAN! Carolina Suburban Gas Co. Laurens — Rhone 508 Tiiot Buzzes Deer, Saves Them From Illegal Hunters MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. - Joe O'Neal, Minneapolis ftier, was returning from an airplane fox hunt when he spotted four deer being stalked by four hunters south of the Minnesota river near Shakopee. O'Neal dropped down near the hunters, who threatened him with clenched fists and menac ing gjuns. So he swerved away, went 1 on and “buzzed" the deer to put speed on them and get them away from the illegal gun ners. “It's a job for the wardens,” said Joe. “There’s a lot of deer poaching along the Minnesota river valley.” , > COMMERCIAL L HOUSEHOLD WIRING Electrical Appliance Repairing and Electrical Construction Work Floor Plugs A Specialty ARNOLD M.

BISHOP-WALKER PHARMACY Lincoln's Letter Agreeing To Debates Found in Attic CARTERSVILLtf, GA. — A local business man, rummaging through a pile of old family papers says he has found what apparently is a letter from Abraham Lincoln agree ing to the now famous debates w r ith Stephen A. Douglas. Harry Womelsdorf said the letter, which he has turned over to a firm of lawyers for verification, was written in longhand, signed “A. Lin coln” and addressed to the “Hon. S. A. Douglas.” The letter, Womelsdorf said, w'as dated “Springfield, July 31, 1858,” and read: “Dear sir: “Yours of yesterday naming places, times and terms for discus sions between us was received this morning. Although by the terms, as you propose, you take four openings and closes to my three, I accede, and thus close the arrangement. I direct this to you at Hillsboro; and shall try to have both your letter and this appear in the Journal and Register of Monday morning.” Douglas and Lincoln were oppo nents for United States senator from Illinois in 1858 and for the Presidential nomination in 1860. As a result of the debates, sentiment in the nation was crystallized against slavery. Douglas won the senatorial seat but lost in the presi dential race. 0 Bees Escape Near School And Attack 300 Children BELTON, TEX.—The battle of the bees was fought in B#lton w’ith an estimated *300 casualties among 1 school children.
