WIFE-BEATER FLOGGED
m ?,?> l.t ikI Sheriff Administers Five
bashes To Bared Back
Baltimore, May S.?Four women
were a?nong the official witnesses at
the whipping in the corridor of the
Baltimore city jail today of James
H. KinK?mor#, convicted wife beater.
Sheriff Potee administered 6 lashes
with n cat o-nine tails to Kingswore'?
bars back.
"We enjoyed the whipping," said
the women's spokesman. "It was
fine. There ought to be more of
them."
Stretched on the whipping post,
Kingsnure took his whipping without
a murmur. He flinched once,
very slightly. Released from the
post he went to his prison cot with
red welts across his back, but his
skin was unbroken.
"You've licked an Innocent man, he
flung at the sheriff as he was led
away. Later the jail physician reported
Kingsmore to be in a state of
collapse from nervousness, but to
show no effects of the whipping.
Kingsmore abandoned a plea to the
Maryland Court of Appeals a week
ago, after having spent nearly ail
of the six weeks since the sentence
was imposed in vain attempts to
invoke court interference. He stepped
on the whipping t platform jauntily,
nodding to several acquaintances
among the witnesses, and smiled as
he peeled off his jacket, bared his
back, and stretched his arms along
the cross pieces to be manacled.
He flared into anger only once,
when, twisting his head around, he
caught sight of a battery of cameras
trained on him.
"This is supposed to be a whipping,
not a circus," he said.
Sheriff Potee appeared almost
apologetic after Kingsmore had
stripped. A deputy carried the whip.
No more than thirty seconds were
required for the whipping.
"I think I did my duty," the sheriff
later said. "There was no use cutting
him to pieces. The blows hurt
him, all right." ?>
The Moncks Corner Killing
The daily papers of last Sunday
told of a fatal shooting scrape at
Moncks Corner on Saturday, in which
at least two men were killed, another
perhaps fatally wounded,(and possibly
others more or less seriously
wounded. No, the shooting was not
done by law officers nor were any
officers killed... Ij^ waa . evidently a
case where well known men had become
enraged at one another because
one side or the other of the shooting
scrape had done something to raise
the ire of the other to the killing
point.
From a story heard a few weeks
ago, the Moncks Corner affair is not
surprising. Fact is The Yorkville Enquirer
has been expecting just such
an affair to come off sooner or later.
The story we heard, the' truth of
which of course we cannot vouch for,
was about like this, according to the
way the story was told to us:
"That Hell Hole swamp corners in
Charleston, Berkeley and Colleton
counties. There are many illicit stills
in the swamp, and, these stills are
owned by people who are mord or less
prominent in that section. The story
goes that on every gallon of liquor
made by the many moonshiners- in
the swamp there is a split of 76 cents
per gallon that goes to officers ot the
law. This 75 cents per gallon is split
three ways. Every now and then
there is a great raid staged ip the
swamp, and with a great flurry there
is brought into Charleston & number
of copper stills and placed back o^.jthe
courthouse for the benefit of the
gullible. But there is ohe peculiarity'
about the stills that are brought in,"
said our informant, "practically every
still put on exhibition is burnt out
and worthless."
Well, one day last week, perhaps
on Saturday, there was a real raid in
the Hell Hole swamp, the officers/
some from Columbia and evidently
not posted and possibly not buyable,
captured some eight or ten stills,
me 10,000 gallons' of mash and approximately
1,800 gallons of liquor,
Now, surmise a bit, or figure it out,
you pleasev The owners or attaches
or friends of the owners of the seized
stills perhaps accused- somebody of
R-ving somebody away or perhaps
bringing outside officers?officers
u'ho had not been working in that
section?into the swamp with the result
that the stills were captured, and
then there were criminations and re'
ruminations that finally led-up U>
killing. -Sooner or later such
things always happen -that*-way.?

It's Worth It
Every housewife who uses an oil
stove should devote five minutes to
it each morning, filling the reservoir
and wiping off the wicks. This care
Insures perfect flame and no soot or
odor.
Vegetable Cookery
In cooking vegetables use as little
water as possible. Have it boiling
.when the vegetables are put in, otherwise
the vitamins, salts, and flavor
are lost.
Twenty-FOur Children
Aiken, May 14.?Last Saturday
when Judge Rice called the Rev.
Hightower, who had been convicted
of larceny, to the bar to, receive his
sentence, he asked the prisoner the
usual questions and arqong them being:
"How many children are you the
father of?" The prisoner replied
twenty-four. ? He was then asked:
"How many are living?" and after
Borne hesitation, he replied, "I think
there are eighteen." The replies
given to the questions of the judge
created a great deal of interest in the
court room, and several remarked
that a father of .twgpty-four children
wHh eighteen of them living certainly
had a reasonable excuse to steal.

far out of a window at the Charlotte

and marvelously escaped death. The

which has a wire mesh over it. She
was rushed to a hospital, where an
examination revealed the fact that no
bones were broken.
Honest Confession

"Mose," said the judge, doubting.
whether the witness knew the nature
of an oath, "do you know what will
happen if you lie on that witness
stand?"
"Yessuh, jedge, Ah 'spects you'll
send me to jail."
"You're right. And what if you
tell the truth."
"We'll lose dis trial sho, jedge."

Is cake baking
really difficult?
"Not when you have
the right stove,"
say six fafnous cooks
There is no reason why cake-making
should be less successful than any
other cooking operat
cook^can jdepend upon
THAT is the statement of six
famous cooks who have just com?leted
a practical cooking test of the
perfection Stove. All six agreed in
Eraising the Pf rfection highly' for its
aking ability, as well as for its
general performance.
"Speaking of cakes, half the making
' is,in the. baking," sard Miss Rosa
Michaelis,, New Orleans, domestic
(kaence specialist.
Delicate Angel Food .
"An even temperature must be maintained
while an angel food and other
cakas are baking," added Miss Mar*
garet A. Hall, nutrition expert of the
Battle Creek College of Home Economics.
"When I baked cakes in the
Perfection oven I used a standard,
portable oven thermometer as a check.
The flame did not creep or crawl. You
' can depend on the^ Perfection flame to
^ remain as you set it."
"My orange cakes and devil*s foods
were delicious,"cohunented Mrs. Kate
B. Vaughn, Los Angeles, household
economics director. "The air circulation
in the Perfection oven seems
perfect. All excess moisthre was
carried away." -
"It's the 'live heat* of the Perfection
Oven which brings such good results/'
said Mrs. Rorer, famous Philadelphia
cook.
"The Perfection oven is so roomy that
there is room for several cakes^at a
time/' said Mrs. Belle DeGraf, San
Francisco. "Afid, through the glass
'?door oftheoyen you can see just how
they ate baking. No need to open the
door and lose'any heat/'
Miss Lucy G.~Attefi/of the Boston
School of Cookery* commented on the
visible oil supply. 'You can see/' she
_ remarked, "whether you have enough
for your cooking. If not, it's easy to
refill the Perfection reservoir without
. soiling your hands."
High Praise
Thes^are Just a few of Perfection's
good mking points which the six expert
cooks praised highly. You v^ill
find many others when you bake on a
Perfection. I^'s the stove which proves
cake-baking is not difficult.
