Ad Unusual Case In the year 1923, Cuey M Clegorn married Thelma Brown of Alexander, La, To this union a son, Malcom Berkley, and a daughter, Marjorie Mildred, were born. Malcolm will be four years old next June, and Marjorie was three in 4prii. Mrs. Clegorn left her husband inl925, and they have lived apart since that date. There had been corres pondence between Mrs. Sallie Cameron and Mrs. R- J. Oia mond of Raeford, aunts of Coey Clegorn, and Mrs. Clegorn's mother in regard to their taking and caring for these two chil dren. In October, 1927, the mother of the two children, came to Raeford bringing the children, committing them to the care of Mrs. Cameron and Mrs. Dia mond, great aunts of the chil dren. In January, 1928, Mrs. Cleg orn canie to Raeford to take the children away. Mrs. Cameron wired the father of the children and also their grandmother to know what to do in the matter, and both wired objecting to the children being turned over to their mother. Bo it remembered, that Mrs Cameron and Mrs. Diamond paid the expense of Mrs. Clegorn and the children when they came in October. When the Raeford ladies hav- mg the children in chargr re fused to give up the children. Mrs Clegorn employed Mr. H. W. B. Whitley, local attorney, who instituted habeas corpus ornceedings and the matter was Toavd by Judge Devin in Holro Superior court, January term, who declined to grant the prayer jf the plaintiff, but continued the case until the April term for more evidence. At this .\pril term. Mrs. Oleg )rn, who now, it appears, has been divorced from her first hus band, and is married again and is now' Mrs. M lgaarde, bringing with her attorney Mr. Dowling )f New Orleans, La , and hor father. While waiting upon the courr’s LCtion, Mrs. Melgaarde visited the home of Mrs. Cameron with her father, presumably to see the children on Wednesday, slipped out with the children and in her Nash ,se‘dan drove away and at a speed it is said of seventy miles an hour reachedLaurinburg where police stopped her upon notice from the Raeford city an j thorities. Judge Harris, presiding over Hoke Superior court, gave the children into the keeping of their mother, provided certain expense accounts are met. amounting to a sum of about $500 The chililroQ are ?till with Mrs Cameron and Mrs. Dia, .nond, who will comply with the^ decree of the court when th conditions are met. These la dies have acted only from sym pathy for the children, their ^ relatives, and have had no in-, tention of wronging any one in the matter. This case has ere ated quite a lot of interest in Raeford. * - Summer • Underwear for Men and Boys We are selling much Better Values than you’ll find at most stores.

C. / is is General Motors r rovm £ Ground A birdseye view of the 1245-acre Proving Ground maintained by General Motors to assure the quality and value of its cars and trucks. 1. Entrano* to the Proving Ground. The group of buildings includes complete experimental and service shops, engineering ofiices and comfortable living quarters for resident and visiting engineers and for the driving crews. The Proving Ground person nel numbers more than 200 men. 2, The 4-mile high-speed loop. The largest in America, made of concrete, with turns banked to permit continuous high speed . operation. In addition, the Proving Ground has two concrete straight-aw.nys 1% miles long, as level as a billiard table, and miles of brick, tar, gravel and dirt roads which reproduce every driving and weather condition. 3. The hill-test road. Test hill grades at the Proving Ground range from 7.26 per cent to 24 per cent. The grades on public highways seldom exceed 7 per cent. 4. The "bath-tub.'^ A depressed concrete roaeiway which is filled with water at varying depths to reproduce fkx>ded roadway condi tions. Here each General Motors car must prove its value O N a 1245-acre tract near Milford, Michigan, convenient to all its car and truck divisions. General Motors has the first and largest proving ground for automobiles. Here tests are made and facts determined to a degree impossible when cars and trucks are tested on the public highways. Here each new model of General Motors must prove itself, point by point, before it is produced for sale to the public. More than 135 different tests are applied to each car tested at the Proving Ground. J They involve every phase of construction and performance: power, speed, en durance, accelera tion, braking, steering, handling, riding comfort, fuel economy and so on. In three months a car or truck covers more miles than you would drive it in three years. The Proving Ground is another example oi how General Moto*s is serving the public.
