Everywhere Mrs. Agnes Ready went in her long, weary trudge for an apartment she was told the same cruel story. Pekinese spaniels, Japanese chows, canaries anj even pedigreed cats, these would be welcomed, but not her babies, Albert, three years old, and John, one and a half. Discouraged, Mrs. Ready kissed her two children, entered the bathroom, locked the door and then shot herself through the temple. When the father came home he found Albert and John playing in front of the bathroom door. "Where's mamma? he asked. "She's in there,'' said Albert. "She's kissed us good-bye and said 'I'm going on a long, long journey.'" Mr iteaav torcea tne aoor and found his' wife dead. "We had received notice to remove 'from this apartment May 1," explained Mr. Ready, "because a member of the owner's family is to occupy it. My work as a building contractor presented me from looking for another apartment, but Mrs. Ready has been looking every day since March 1. Money was no object with us. But it seemed she could not find an apartment where children were allowed. "She became discouraged and then acutely melancholic. Our youngest baby died four weeks ago. She hecame obsessed with the fear that we would be forced to live in a tent or in such fashion that would impair the children's health." Friday for Gibson, N. C.

THREE MEN DEAD IN_AGUN FIGHT TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN AIKEN COIXY Hugh Fanning, Julian Cooper and Bryant Salley Killed on the Spot. Aiken, March 28.?Hugh Fanning, j Julian Cooper an^ Bryant Salley, three white farmers residing near the Salley section in Aiken county, were shot dead at midnight last night by Carlos Corbett, a white farmer, who claims that the men were drunk and after wantonly burning away a cane embankment in front of his place, had cursed and abused him. Corbett also fatally wounded Jones Salley, one of the crowd. Sheriff Howard and Coroner Bell, of Aikent were called at 4 o'clock this morning to the scene of the shooting, which they found upon arriving had taken place just across the Aiken County line in Orangeburg County. Carlos Corbett, after the killing, got into his automobile and drove hastily to Columbia where he gave himself up to the authorities. The story of the killing as told by Sheriff Howard is as follows: "Late last night a car filled with men passed noisily by his home with the muffler of the car wide open. Corbett ran to the door of his home to see who the noisy people were but could not discern them in the dark. A few minutes after the car passed Corbett says he found a newly re-j paired washout in front of his place on fire and believed the men had purposely set it ablaze. In half an hour; me car was neuiu reiummg up mc road toward Aiken and Corbett stepped outside of his home to demand of the men why they set his newly filled washout 011 fire. The men< it is alleged, became abusive and finally cursed Corbett who drew his gun killing each of the men in rapid suc-( cession. "Jones Salley was seated in the car, some distance away and finding that, the first shot did not kill him, it is alleged Corbett went up to the car and shot him again in the head and J body. A young boy in the crowd lay flat on the ground and played dead, thus escaping. The people of Salley are greatly worked up over the affair." I The dead men were unmarried. Carlos Corbett Surrenders. Columbia, March 28?Special: Carlos A. Corbett, who killed Hugh Fan-j ning, Julian Cooper and Bryant Salley, two miles from Salley In Orangeburg county last night surrendered to the State Penitentiary here this morning. He claims self-defense and the protection of his home against marauders. Claims He Shot in Self Defense. Carlos Corbett, who shot three men to death and seriously wounded a fourth, near Salley, Aiken county, Saturday night claims he shot in self defense and to protect his home which was jeopardized by a fire started by the parties shot. The following special from Columbia to the Charlotte, (N. C.) Observer was printed yesterday morning, giving Corbett's side of the trouble: Columbia, S. C., March 28?Carlos A. Corbett, who last night killed Hugh Fanning, Julian Cooper and Bryan Salley and seriously wounded Jones Salley at the Corbett home, in Orangeburg county, two miles from Salley, came to Columbia early this morning in an automobile and surrendered himself to the state penitentiary authorities. Corbett said that he acted in defense of life and to protect his home against the alleged marauding party. According to Corbett's story, he I and his wife were awakened, last i night about 11 o'clock, by flames ! shooting up in front of his home, , which, along with his farm build lings, were threatened. He said that he had cane stacked I in front of his house to the height of three feet paralleling the public highway and this was afire with the flames shooting toward the house. When he had the fire under control, he said. the automobile, bearing a party which had passed his house .came back up the road. He averred that one of the party said: "He + put out the f're> start it again. Corbett said he was standing in dense smoke emanating from the smoldering coals and they did not see him. Threatened His Life. "When this threat was made." said Corbett "I warned the party that I would protect my wife and my home at all hazards and after I had spoken, one of the men. a hoarse voiced man. Jonas Salley T think exclaimed: "Damn you. we will kill you!" With this, two of the men advanced towards me with their hands in their hip pockets and tv* niher men left the rear of the c>with their hands in their side pockets like they vore K?ing to draw their knives. These last two advanced as if they were Irvine to cut me off from the year. I then began shooting. Corhett said that when ho first discovered the fire ho sin el led an ' odnr of either gasoline or kerosene, and ho is of tho opinion that some member of thp party sprinkled the I cane and then ignited it. Ho was of the opinion that the members of the nartv who livo at t,Salley were drinking:. He claims (that he was cold sober and has not ',taken a drink of intoxicating: liquor -(during the past eight years.

Washington, March 30. ? South Carolina and Georgia, according to I Senator Dial, have a vital interest in I AM nmAn/lmAnt Ktf inh tho Qhtl QtP { an aiiiciiuiiicui u * muvu tuv wvi*Mw has added $20,000 to the amount which the House allowed in the pending agricultural appropriation bill for investigations of truck-crop insect pests. The patron of the amendment is Senator Harrison of Mississippi, and as Senator Gronna, of South Dakota, chairma^ of the committee on agriculture, is understood to be acquiescent, Southern Senators have strong hope that the item will be retained in conference. "This appropriation,*' said Senator Dial today, "finances investigations which the Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the States, is conducting stored vegetable products as well as certain of our important truck crops, including potatoes, cabbages, opinions, tomatoes, bean, peas and sugar beets. Must Stop Potato Borer. "But the feature in which our people of the Southeast are mainly interjested", continued the Senator, "is that 'the Department of Agriculture has allotted, from the sum provided, $65,000 to fight the sweet potato borer. [This pest is the worst enemy the sweet potato has. It has invaded Florida and has reached Charlton county, Qeorgia. Our state entomologist, Mr. A. F. Conradi, tells nie that owing to the habits of the pest it can be kept without bounds and very likely can be eradicated. But unless prompt measures can be taken to check its advanee we may expect it in South Carolina very soon, and inevitably ruin our rapidly developing sweet potato industry. "The borer now exists in seven states. The sweet potato crop of five of these states has an aggregate value of $135,000,000. Sweet potato culture is one major item in a new scheme of production which we are developing to offset the advance of the cotton boll weevil. Already we have built many potato warehouses, and hope that we shall go on now to build up a sweet potato packing industry such as is centered about Albany, in Georgia. >1 A yuaioiiiiiic nuivawivu. "This pest can survive temperature conditions which exist in every state producing sweet potatoes. It is best controlled through quarantine while eradicative measures are being taken; and through the researches of jthe federal experts, including oversight of more than 30,000 farms, | adequate quarantine laws have been put in effect in Georgia, Florida and 'Alabama, while Mississippi has what i may be regarded as a model crop-pest | law and Louisiana has one only a lit; tie less excellent. Field laboratories maintained in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas have studied the history and habits of the pest, tested various insecticides proposed and studied methods of economic control, ifumigation of stored potatoes and |the eradication of wild plants which , furnish food to the insect. "Finding that the borer thrives on I the wild morning gloryf the department has experimentally cleared of these plants a zone of about thirty miles long between the infested coastal region of Florida about Daytona o vrwo in TTI n crl pr aim an Ull luicQtvu aivn >u * county. It has been demonstrated . on the experimental plants at Kings, ville, Texas, that the insect may be held jn check by spraying or dusting several times with arsenate of lead. Destruction of wild food plants over the many several thousand acres is under way at New Orleans. The labaratory at Ocean Springs, Miss., has determined that heat is an important control measure for stored potatoes, temperature of 110 degrees destroying the weevils with little effect on the potatoes. Eradication work proper is done mainly in the Baker-Charlton region of Georgia and Florida, comprising about 300 infected farms; in Alden County, Alabama, where there are about thirty farms, and in Southern Mississippi, where there are about 200 farms."?K.

He is is about six feet tall, of sparse, powerful frame, clean cut face and piercing, fearless eyes. Whe? seen at the state prison he was calm and collected and no element of nervousness was apparent. He said that he came to Columbia to give himself up to avoid possiblp further trouble. He said that hp has large family connections in the Salley section as have the dead men. Had lie remained, these two elements might have come together engenderinc possible riot and further bloodshed.

I HERBERT HOOVER BREAKS SILENCE ' SAYS WILL ACCEPT NOMINATION FROM REPUBLICAN PARTY. Wants Conservative Platform i^nd league of Nations that Will Establish World Peace. v San Francisco, Cal., March 30. ? Herbert C. Hoover, in a statement issued here tonight, said he will accept the Republican nomination for the presidency if offered him. The defeat of the peace treaty and the "stagnation in adjustment of our great economic problems," said Mr. Hoover, convinced him that it waa his duty to confirm the activities of fh- Wnnver PoniihH/?o_ nlnha nt PolL fornia in his behalf. Mr. Hoover said he was for a league of nations with proper reservation, safeguarding American traditions and interest, as opposed to no league at all. "If the Republican party," said Mr. Hoover,1' with the independent element of which I am naturally affiliated, adopts a forwards looking, liberal, constructive platform on the treaty and on our economic issues, and if the party proposes measures for 30und business administration of the country, and is deither reactionary nor radical in its approach to our great domestic questions and is backedf by men who undoubtedly assure the consummation of these policies and measures, I will give it my en- ? tire support. "While I do not an<j will not myself seek the nomination, if it is felt that the issues necessitate it and it is demanded of me, I cannot refuse service." o MARION COUNTY FARMER DISAPPEARS FROM HOME.

There was a distressing accident at Little Rock late Saturday afternoon when C. H. Jr., the five year old son of Mr onj Mrs. C. H. Myers was killed by an automobile. The car was driven by Miss C. McQueen, the 14 year old daughter of Mr. Jenks McQueen of near Judson. The car, a heavy Cadillac, was proceeding down the street at a low rate of speed when the little fellow attempted to run across the street to his fathers place of business. Another car was coming in the opposite direction and as he ran from in front of this car he ran squarely in front of the car driven by Mi3s McQueen. The fender knocked him down and (he front wheel passed over his chest and head, crushing him so badly that he died in a few minutes. Miss McQueen showed great presence of minj and brought the car to a standstill almost in its length, but not in time to save the little fellow's life.

Mr. and Mrs. Myers hav0 many friends who deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement. The little fellow was buried at Mt. Holly Cemetery Sunday afternoon. * * * * * * * ? ?
