OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
REDUCTION OF MAXWELLS

One of the most momentous and
significant announcements which has
come recently from the motor car in
dustry, was made yesterday by Max
well officials.
1t was to the effect that the Max
we'll reorganization had been COM
pleted with the sale of the properties
to the new organization May II, and
confirmation of the sale by the United
States district court May II: and
that the first step Of the new organi-
cation was to reduce prices $50 on
all models of the good Maxwell.
This action brings the touring car
and roadster to SS45, the sedan to
$1545, and the coupe to s1445.
The Maxwell assets bought in by
the new organization, include finely
equipped plants of great size and
capacity in Detroit; Dayton, Ohio;
Newcastle, Ind, and Windsor, Ont.
Their purchase is the final step IN
the work of reorganization which has
been carried forward by reogan:za-
tion committee headed by Walter 2.
Chrysler. Now that reconstruction
has been completed, the new organi-
zation has placed at its command
s15,0O0,0O0 Of new cash, which has
been held ready for months awaiting
the day when the new organization
should acquire the properties and as
sumo full contru.
The new organization has incor-
porated in West Virginia under the
name of The Maxwell Motor corpora
ton.
"The action of the new 0rGanlZa-
ton in reducing prices said Ar5nur
E. Barker, general sales manager OF
the Maxwell Morotr Sales corpora
ton. 'shas the effect of restoring Jhe
lew-level prices of three years a%o.
Since that time, however, the car haS
been greatly improved as m2nQiac-
tured product. The new organization
since it took hold last summer, has
effected further Improvements by
lowering costs, by increasing pLan'
efficiency, and by betterments N

HIGHWAY
DISCUSSED AT CLINTON
Enthusiastic Meeting Of interested:
Parties at Clinton Last
Tuesday.

tllIlOIl Nii! DiiI(L
The Clinton Commercial club de-
voted almost It's entire session Tue
day evening, May 10th, to the holding
of convention looking 20 the organ
iZation of an association 10 promote
the development Of what IS Temporal
lily called the Seaboara Parallel nigh-
way connecting the Quebec 20 Mann
highway, which passes through Che
r:w, S. c.. from that point 20 Athens,
Ca, where connection IS made Wl,il
the Bank!1ead highway. This means
that tourists from San Diego, Cal,
following the Bankhead National
highway, can make an alternate ront"
at Athens, Ga, via the Seaboard Par
a!lcl when built. to Choraw, s. C.,
then by the Quebec to Miami highway
up to Raleigh, where the Ba1hh2ld
National highway and the Quebec 20
Miami highway JON.
This means also connection at
Cheraw, with the Wilmington, \. c.,
highway, easy access through CheraV
to the upper Pee Dee section Of South
Carolina.
Eventually this highway will prob
ably become a very important factor
IN the development Of The South. The
Bankhead National highway is now
working to raise money for hard
surface road al The way from Wash
ington, D. c., to San Diego, Cal. The
Quebec 20 Miami highway will even
tually be hard surface, as It is a main
line from Canada to extreme southern
Florida.
Clinton IS peculiarly fortunate in
being located strategically along the
proposed Sca5oard Parallel connec-
ton between the Bankhead National
highway and the Quebec TO Miami
highway, formerly known as Capitol
to Capitol highway.
The visitors were quite numerous,
between thirty-fve and forty being
present, representing Athens, Elbcr-
ton, Abbeville, Greenwood, Cross H;ll,
Whitmire, Chester, Pageland, Che
.aw, highway commissions, state and
locals.
Numerous and most excellent
speeches were delivered by represen-
tatives from the towns, and by engin-
GERS. These speeches brought out
a great deal of information as to de-
velopment along. the line, indicating
that large part Of the mileage OF
this road is already completed, some
river problems already solved with
bridge projects under construction
or planned.
Encouragement was offered by
speeches from engineers and others as
10 the feasibility Of bridging the great
rivers of Savannah, Broad and Cataw-
ba. Smaller rivers are already pro
vided with bridges, which ultimately
will no doubt have to De strengthen

spoke and smiled to himself. Her soft
lips were parted ~ shc leaned forward
to look out Of tho window. Harriet
knew nothing Mt all Of the night life
on th" gay"St street in the world. Sh"
nnd barry had never had enough money

taurnnt. and in spite Of her reason for
dining with Charlie Harmon, the CN-

and sinking back into her corner. 1T
all new and exciting to me.
Don't thcy have any white lights in

had given tho taNi driver orders TO drive
to tho Purple Grill.
"In Chicago:" Harriet wrinklcd her
brows.
Yes, ono Of the girls told Inc you
came from there"
Harriet flushed to the roots Of her
hair and stammcrcd out quickly, "Oh, |
wasn't thinking. Yes. | suppose they
do. but nothing lik" this. Of course, |
lived very quiet lifc there.
He was looking at her ont Of the cor

to notice things and llarricts confusion
had not escaped him.
"Not hiding from tho police or any
thing like that. are Hou"' he asked,
lightly enough.
Harrirt's heart almost stopped. and
she was thankful for the friendly dark

OUR hearts went out in sympathy

But there were others who had nn

II there was any love or gratitude
or honor behind their pinning on Of
that symbol, it did not last longer than
the day.
Their devotion was like that Of tho
man who calls his wife 'honCy' in n
purring voice in public, and then throws
her acroSJ the room when they get

For today !ou might GO into the
home OF one of these Mothers Dag
