I SOME GASOLINE PUMPS
I HAVE BEEN FOUND SHORT
| Columbia, Aug. 18.?A number
| of gasoline measuring pumps have
* been found short in various parts of
the state in recent weeks, according
to reports made by the weights and
n easures inspectors of the department
of agriculture. A statement issv.ed
by the department today
I ecvers the findings of the inspectors
| uii two tours made last week.
Abbeville, Newberry, Laurens,
I "Clinton and Chester were visited by
the inspectors last week on the tour.
| Thirty-sever gasoline pumps were
E inspected. One was condemned at
I Abbeville, one at Newberry, and
F one at Chester. Eleven were adjustf
ed, as follows: Newberry 2, Laurens
1, Clinton 6 and Chester 2. The
pump:. adjusted were found to be
short from four cubic inches to one
? and a half pints. Pumps found impossible
of adjustment and therefore
condemned were found to be
short from 1 1-2 pints to one quart.
J. . Another tour in the work of ma.
specting gasoline measuring de
K? vices was* made by Inspector KenjL
nerly. He visited Orangeburg, DenT
mark, Blackville, Bamburg, Williston
and Aiken. There were 17 requiring
adjustment, seven of these
at Orangeburg, three at Denmark,
* two at Blackville, one at Bamberg,
three at Williston and one at Aiken.
The pumps condemnation by Mr.
Kennerly were found to be short as
mu,ch, in some cases, as three pints
in five gallons. Pumps adjusted
were short as much as one and a
r half pints before being adjusted.
The department of agriculture's
statement says that there are . 231
cubic inches in a gallon, so - that a
loss of fifteen or twenty cubic
inches in a gallon of "gas" would
mean the better part of a mile lost
to the automobilist.

SON'S CUSTODY
Spartanburg; S. C., Aug. 20.?
Vr Clarence Edward Watkins, 6 years
of age, was awarded to the custody
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sherman of
Valdosta, Ga., in habeas corpus proceedings
before Judge Thomas S.
Sease here. Charles L. Watkins of
Columbia, S. C., entered suit
against his former wife, Mrs. Arthur
P. Rose of New Orleans, and
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sherman to obtain
possession of their child. Mr,
and Mrs. Watkins separated in May,
1917. In 1918, Mrs. Watkins filed
a bill of divorce in Valdosta and obtained
the decree in the fall oi
1919. Mrs.- J. W. Sherman took
charge of the Watkins child.
Judge Sease required bond oi
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman in the sum oi
$1,000 as guarantee that the chilc
would not be turned over by them
to the custody of its father oi
mother, but would be kept as theii
own. Both father and mother, how>
ever, are at liberty to visit the chilc
at any time, but not at the sam(
time.
The hearing brought out a humar
interest story scarcely paralleled, ir
fiction. Letters Mrs. Watkins hac
written her husband after theii
separation, were read in court, play
ing up the lights and shadows oi
their private life. These letters
counsel declared, showed Mrs. Wat
kins loved her husband, thougl
