SOCIETY Hul WOMAN .IN MURDER MYSTERY Former Carolina Girl Found Dead Near Macon. 12 KNIFE WOUNDS ON BODY Mrs. W. M. Bairman, Aged Sixty, In Victim of Unidentified Assailant Macon, Ga. May 10.-With six knife wounds in her left arms, and six simil ar wounds in her neck, the body of Mrs. W. M. Bairman, 60, widow of a former associate editor of the Macon Telegraph, was found near a well traveled country road, thre& and a half miles from Macon this morning. A coroner's jury this afternoon held that she was murdered by an unidentified assailant. The entire sheriffs force of deputies is at work on the case and rewards have been offered for information that may lead to the capture of the guilty person. Numerous raids were made during the day and tonight of negro quarters in various parts of the city in an effort to find some trace of the guilty person. Mrs. Bairman had been in the habit of taking an eight-mile walk every day and she always chose the road leading to Holton, on which she met her death. She left her home Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Failing to re turn at sundown the family conducted an all-night search in vain. Scores of persons joined in the search today and the body was found just off the main road near the waterworks pump ing station. There was evidence of a struggle, Mrs. Bairman's Nlothing having been torn. The imprint ol No. 9 shoe, a hat band, a buckle from Mrs. Bairman's shoe, which was close to a handful of flowers that she had gathered in the woods, and an open umbrella were the only things found which might lead to a clue. Mrs. Bairman's husband came from Lancaster, Pa., settling in Savannah when twenty years of age. He had continued his residence in Georgia until his death seven years ago.

PLANT SOY BEANS Clemson College, May 10.-Soy beans may be planted any time from early spring until mid-summer, says Prof. G. H. Collings, of 'the Agron omy Division. For.a grain crop they should be planted early, but for a hay, pasture, green manure, or soil ing crop they may be planted as late as August 1st. The choice of a variety must be made by the farmer himself. The South Carolina Experiment 'Station has found that Mammoth yellow, Browns, Austin, Tarheel, Black, and Hollybrook gave the best results in the order named. The Mammoth yellow is considered one of the best varieties for hay. The preparation of the seed bed is the same as the preparation of the seed bed for cot ton. However, a thorough prepara tion must be emphasized for by giv ing the plants a good start a long step has been made toward the suc cessful production of the crop. The plant reacts readily to fertilizers es pecially to phosphatic fertilizers. Some potassium can be applied prof itably in the Coastal Plain, but ni trogen need not be applied either in the Piedmont Plateau or the Coastal Plain. Whether grown for seed or hay. soybeans should be planted in rows 30 to 50 inches apart, depending up on the fertility of the land and the variety grown. The seed should be planted just as cotton or corn. An ordinary corn planter can be used very successfully. About 25 to 35 pounds of medium size seed should be planted per acre. The seed should not be planted deeper than one and a half to two inches. Cultivation should begin , as soon as the young plants are above the ground. One deep cultivation is ad vised, but after that the cultivations should be shallow. Level cultiva tion is recommended, because har vesting is thus greatly aided. About 10 to 30 bushels of grain and 1 to 6 tons of hay will be pro duced per acre, depending upon va riety, climate, fertility, and cultiva tion. The vines are cut with a field to dry, and cured the same as cowpea hay. The beans may be thrashed from the stalk by specially prepared harvesters.

Bradham today f issued a warning to thrifty permopM hereabouts to be on their guard against buying counterfeit War Sav- a ings Stamps. Fraudulent blue stamps of the 1919 series hate been made by counterfeiters, the postmast.. er has been advised, and are being sold to the unwary. "But the frauds can be esily de tected," the postmaster said. "Ben Franklin's picture appears on the stamp, and in the counterfeit stamp, old Ben seems to have the mumps in his left jaw. Indeed, there is a pro nounced swelling. Then under the portrait the lower of the two left dots is comparatively indistinct, and the vertical opening between the lines in the lower left part of the numeral '2' in the date '1924' is closed. The principal feature of the fraud, how ever, is the swollen cheek. "It should be remembered that the counterfeit is only of the 1919 series, and, like the original, is blue. Blue War Savings Stamps can no longer be bought from nost offices or other authorized agencies. Orly the 1920 stamos, which are red, are now being sold by agencies. Sales of last year's stamps are not legal. No one should buy a 1919 stamp, though it is true that some have been improperly of fered for sale. "Everyone who bought 1919 stamps last year may feel perfectly safe," the postmaster said in conclusion, "be cause the counterfeit was not made until after the first-of this year. The blue stamps had then been withdrawn from sale by the authorized agencies, and the red 1920 stamp was being sold. Don't buy any 1919 stamps, and keep a look out for the picture. of the man with the mumps. If you see one let me know."
