S^ABS ? BUDDY" IN CRIME
Near Fatal Fight Between Murderers
? ;in Chicago Jail ,
Chicago, June' 20. ? -Walter Krauser.!
charged, with the murder of a police
man, today stabbed five times and
possibly fatally wounded Bernard
Grant, under sentence of death for
the same murder, while the two wore
receiving visitors in the .fjnty jail., j
Grant and Krauser wa'.e taken to I
the visitor's room to meet relatives
of each.
When Grant entered the room;
Krauser ignored the greetings of his
relatives and immediately attacked his
companion. Relatives, powerless to
interfere, collapsed and the jail, hous
ing several hundred prisoners, was
thrown into confusion.
Both Krauser and Grant were con
victed of the murder of Policeman
Ralph Spuders whilje trying to hold
up a tea store two years ago. Both
were sentenced to hang, but the case
was carried to the supreme court '
which upheld the decision of the
lower' courts as to Grant, but granted
Krauser a new trial on his represen
tation that Grant fired tHe shot which
killed the policeman.
Grant has succeeded in obtaining
four or five reprieves, twice almost
on the eve of the date fixed for his
execution. He is now under sentence
to be hanged August 14.
His hair has turned white and he
has become partly bald since his con
viction. He was barely past the age
of 19 when sentenced.
The ill feeling between Grant, and
Krauser, jail guards Said, had its
inception after the supreme' court de
cision. Tr.
Grant, at the jail hospital refused
to make any statement, answering
all questions with a curt "I don't care
to talk." v
Krauser was more talkative.
, "Grant i^ afraid he will hang for
?Sure August 14," he said, "and he
wanted ta put all the blame on me,
so that he would be pardoned by the
governor. He was going to get me.
I_was afraid of him, so I decided I
would kill him before he got a chance
at me."

Kershaw County cari determine whether her people are to reap the
benefits of the present favorable outlook for a Cotton Crop, or whether,
due to our indifference, we will allow the boll weevil to profit by our
labor and take unto himself that which by the rules of the game is
justly ours. Below we print a few MBoll Weevil Pointers" gotten out
by Mr. Frank H. Lathrop, State Entomologist, which we believe are
timely and well worth the attention of the farmers of Kershaw County:
More will be needed If weevils are
had. It will keep if nut used.
Start .poisoning early where weevils
are abundant (20 or more per acre.)
Start dusting as soon a* 10 per

Boll weevils are ulreudy in many
" of our cotton fields in sufficient
9 numbers to destroy the crop.
The situation demands attention.
Keep the punctured square picked
up, this is most important.
Procure in advance 20 pounds of
calcium arsenate for each acre of
cotton that will probably need to be
duflted. This is an emergency supply.

A Tribute To Mrs. Emilv Post
?
The Hobkirk Hill Chapter D* A. R.
is again called upon to mourn the
loss Of a valued member, Mrs. Emily
Post. Each year takes its toll of
those who are proud to be known as
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution., And though we mourn their
loss, a great truth is brpught home |
to us. that no individual is necessary
to the Divine plan, and that #the
spirit of our organization transcends*
any human' loss, so that even in "the
Valley of the Shadow" hope sees a
star arrd faith hears the flutter of
an angel's wing. So many ? of otir
co-workers have passed to the other
side ? so many have walked to meet
the night '"that soon shape ahd
shadow overflow," that through them
we, as a chapter can claim a closer
kinship with things immortal and
death, the great leveler, stands pow
erless before a bond that is in the
nature of things eternal. We sorrow
with her daughter, our beloved co
worker, Mrs. R. B. Pitts, and as we
extend to her and to the other daugh
ters who' mourn their great loss, our
sympathy, the air is .heavy with in
cense, mingled with the perfume of
rosemary and of rue. To Mrs. Post,
life's fullest need had been given
and she was not permitted to vtetch
the shadows grow long at her feet
but was called on to depart
"While memories as flowers in
bloom,
Were fresh within her heart,"
As a friend and co-worker we, of
the Hobkirk Hill Chapter retain > a
sunny memory of her, but her pass- ]
ing also brings a serious thought
tlUll v
"Out from tho earthly harbor shall
wo drift ifi tho by and by,
Unnoticed the clinging of lovfcd ones,
unheeded 'tl\e kiss and tho sigh,
IJut the compass of faith will avail,
us and the prayers that we have,'
prayer
Will twinkle as lights in the distance
illumining tin* heaviest shade;
And instead of the bell buoys sound- .
ing a warning of ambushed harm
We will hear "It is I" from the
Saviour, (
As He called once before through
the storm!"
