March 13, 1928.-3t. Why Subscriptions Should Be Paid Editor W. L. Snowden, of the Covington. Ga., ’News, tells his sub scribers. “The post office depart ment does not allow us tp send the paper after subscriptions expire. The Bible says “Owe no man anything.” By order of the post office and the Bible we have cut from the list all subscribers who are not paid to date. If you think you have paid up, please send us word or see us and any mis take will be corrected. “To err is human, to forgive divine”; to collect one's just dues is good business and excellent Christianity. W|e observe the golden rule and do to others as we would be done by. If the News is worth reading it is worth paying for. If it is not worth paying for it iz not wo:th reading.

Prohibition Agents Frank Arnold and George Talbert and Chiel’ of Po lice B. D. Brown of McCormick seized a still about four miles south of town on Wednesday of last week. It was a steamer outfit with contain ers, etc. No beer was found, nor any body seen at or near the place. Responding to a demand unpreced ented in its history, and with its factory and sales organizations op erating at peak efficiency, the Chev rolet Motor Company in February set a new high monthly production record, "while retail domestic deliv eries were more than 20,000 units above February, 1927. Production for the month just end ed was 116,943 cars and trucks. The best prev ous Chevrolet month was May, 1927, with an outlet of 115,623; units. Production this February shows a 36 per cent gain over the 85,817 cars and trucks built last Feb ruary, and is more tha n four times the 28,081 units built in February, 1925. Domestic retail deliveries for this period are estimated at 80,000 units as aga nst 58,233 in February, 1927- Since introduction of the Bigger and Better Chevrolet on January 1. previous records have been consist ently shattered before the buying en thusiasm displayed throughout the world. A large number of cars now being built are going into the ex port market to meet the demand for the new Chevrolet evident on every country on the globe. The fourteen domestic Chevrolet, plants are operating on full time to keep production on an even keel with orders piling up. Day and night, shipments are going out from the seven assembly plants in the United States to keep dealers everywhere stocked with an ample number to as sure prompt delivery. March promises to out-do even the high figuies set during February. As February volume set new rec ords, so January production and sales exceeded by a wide margin any similar performance for the month in the history of the company. January ictail deliver’es in the United States totaled 61,007 cars, against 42,680 in January, 1927, and 27.487 in January, 1926. P reduc tion was 91,584 cars and trucks aga’nst 73,676 the previous January. Up to March the total number of Bigger and Better Chevrolets built was 241,300 units, 32,773 hav ing been manufactured in December and shipped to dealers so that they might have cars for display purposes when the car was publicly announced on January 1. The achievement of building nearly a quarter million new cais in so short a space of time has never been duplicated in the h : story of the industry. As a result of the reception the new car is receiving, which made possible the new records so far es tablished in 1928. unbounded enthus iasm existed throughout the Chevro let organization. Factory officials are more than ever confident that 1928 volume will be considerably above last year’s figure, when a mil lion units were built by the Chevro let Motor Company.
