FORD PRODUCING * Ford is building cars at full speed. And, according to an official state-1 ment from the factory at Detroit, the ! demand for Ford cars and trucks | still exceeds the output, despite the I fact that a new high level of production has been reached. By the first of May the figures representing daily production were in the neighborhood of 4,000 a day, so the May schedule was set at 101,125 cars and trucks, not including the output of the Ford Canadian plant or any of the foreipn assembling plants. The output mounted daily. May 12 brought it to 4,092, the (greatest number that have been produced in one day so far this year. Since the month has 25 workinp days, present indications point to a new hiph record. (A comparison of Ford production fipures for 1920 and 1921 discloses tht. fact that for April 1921 the output was preater by 34,514 than for the corresponding month a year apo. The output for May 1921 will probably overshadow May 1920 by between fifteen and Iwenty thousand cars and trucks. \ Approximately 43,000 men are at work in the Detroit plant of the Ford Motor Company. The factory is operatnp on full time, six days a week and three shifts a day. "We were never in a better condition than we are ripht now," said ilenry Kord recently.

The address of Dr. Wilson. Gee was t\ conoclastic. Many thinking people vho heard it were enthusiastic in the j iraise of Dr. Gee for his courage, his :onvietion and his ability as a speak- ^ jr. The speaker talked tf the \' i rreatness of the old South Carolina, n the days of Calhoun and his con- j emporanies. But that greatness has leparted, he said. South Carolina is row and has been for twenty years, it the bottom of the list of all the ^ itates. While other states in the union lave been building more and letter schools, more and better roads ^ ind thus building up a stronger and letter citizenship this state >.as been content to slip further and furthei' >chind. _ One_of the principal causes of this, ie'sa, 'has"been"our * politics. Our :itizens have heen occupied with per- ? tonalities rather than principles. We lave been busw thinking and talkng ibout Tillman or Blease instead of 'ducating our children. ? He denied that we are a povertyttricken state, citing the face that we tpent last year 84 million doiairs for ? lutomobiles and repairs. He did not ind fault with the purchas? of auto nobiles, but with the fact that for education we were willing u> spend ? inly one-twelfth as much. One of the first remedies he suggested was to elect honest and progressive men to the legislative offices _ md to correct our tax laws. The speech of Dr Gee seems to iave been well received.

When Policeman Brock went afjr Lloyd he did not know that he as about to capture a reaily and *uly bad egg. Mrs. Mamie Laney's smoke house id been robbed on the night of Friiy, the 27th. Mr. Brock found evii'nce leading to the cabin of Lewis loyd, a single negro, who had re ntly come from Darlington. When r. Brock approached the house, acimpanied by Mr. Charley Lanoy, iw Lewis going hurriedly to his irn. The negro took to his heels and >r a long time gave Mr. Brock a erry chase through the swamp. He opped only after a well directed .i 1 let grazed his cheek. It was when the policeman jvturni with his quarry to the cabin that k'idence of the real character of his risoner was discovered. All of the hams taken from Mrs. aney's smoke house were found, oods were found in the hcuse identied as coming from the Pollock ore at the cotton .mill; from ainey's store and from the Preee ore in Marlhoro county. But most important of all was the iscovery of goods that had been stoli from the Cheraw post office two eeks ago. These items consisted of vo suit cases and some packages, ulucd at about $200.00. It is underood that the government had ofired a reward for the capture of the lief who stole the goods. I.loyd had in his house a secret-.jerice special revolver. And Mr. Brock jemed rather glad it was in the tlllso nnd nnt willi 1 i as chasing him through the swamp.
