S.C. Highway Patrolman D. C. Henderson testified that his investigation showed that the Jernigan boy, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Silar Jernigan, was riding his bicycle along Highway 39, the Old Laurens Highway, when the bicycle was struck from the rear by a 1970 Oldsmobile driven by McCall, 38, of Waterloo.

However, in order to get a bill on to the President, we had to accept some compromise," Dorn said. know your Carpeting INSTALLATION If you are planning on buying wall-1 carpet, then it would wise to check with a professional installation specialist, rather than attempt the job yourself. This is sound advice, because the installation of carpet is difficult and time consuming, and the specialists have tools that enable them to cut down on the time and energy. There are carpets available that can be installed by an amateur, but it would wise to check with your dealer before such a purchase is made. 'The major question to be answered in this case is whether or not the carpet is intended to be a permanent fixture in the room, or is to be removed within say a 5- year period.

In the case of a permanent carpet, the extra expense of an installation specialist would be offset by the long lasting professional job they would do. Specialists are important, and we are carpet specialists. See us today for expert advice. We can help you. Free Estimates 223-2829 KARPET KORNER 144 Maxwell Ave.
