Carter and his wif* told police they weie awakened at 4 o'clock Sunday morning by the noise of someone attempting to break into their home. Inquiries shouted to the asserted marauders are said to have been answered with curses and demands to open the door. Seizing an axe, Carter opened the door, and stepped out onto the porch, where three armed men are said to have rushed to his side, apparently ready to grapple with him. Carter swung his axe, striking one man a glancing blow. As the axe found its mark, three shots were fired and Carter fell, a bullet in his left lung, another shot in hi- light eye, and a wound in his side from the third missle. The attackers then flew, carrying with them their wounded companion. A trail of blood pointed the course of their flight, but police investigators today have been unable to fully trace the men. Mystery surrounds their identity, Carter having been able to give only a slight description of his at t ackers. Police, however, have a clue, a cap dropped by one of the men. Paul K. Hilton, 27, known as the "radio burglar," was electrocuted at Sing Sing prison, New York, last Thursday night. He made a specialty of stealing radio outfits, and killed a policeman after he had stolen a machine and was making his get-away in Long Island Cltv.

I | GOING IN FOR JUVK8TOCK7 I'roperly HaadM Hoga and Sheep Will Pay, Bay* BUrkey . Clemaon College, Feb. 2U?The low price of cotton and an abundance ot feed are two reasona why there i9 at present more interest in hogu and sheep than there has been for muny years, and farmers are seeking eagerly to buy hog? and sheep. In discussing this increased inter- j est in livestock in South Carolina Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of animal husbandry, says that it is his opinion after several years of observation that there is no state where livestock will return a greater profit stock will return greater profit than in South Carolina, provided we have well bred stock, produce our feeds on an economical basis, and put into practice the right principles of feeding and management. On these points Prof. Starkey says further: "We cannot hope to get the best results unless our livestock is well bred.' This does not mean that we must stock our farms with highpriced purebreds, but it does mean thut we should not have scrubs. We all agree that it takes as much or more feed to produce a pound of meat on u scrub as on a well bred animal. And still the scrubs are here in large numbers, though purebred sires can be purchased at a reasonable price. j "We must not purchase livestock unless we are prepared to give them an opportunity to make good. If we put hogs on the furm we must have enough home-grown feeds to feed them. The purpose of livestock is to market feeds. We cannot hope to produce livestock at a profit over a period of years unless we provide forage crops and1 pastures. It is possible for us to have forage crops . for twelve months in the year ami in this way reduce the amount of grain required about 30 per cent." Child Freed of Nail Mary Elizabeth, three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Durham A. Cauthen of Richbourg, Chester county, swallowed a horseshoe nail Wednesday and was carried , to Pryor j Memorial hospital in Chester, an X-ray photograph revealing that the nail was in the stomach with its1 point downward. The child miracu-i lously passed the nail without an op- \ oration and has been taken bark home1 smiling and happy. Mr. and Mrs..

I Would Abolish Game Warden Abolition of the county game warden's office, without interference with the work of the chief state game warden's office, is recommended by, Governor Richards in a special mes- j sage sent to the legislature this week. ! The functions of the wardens, the chief executive said, should be tie- 1 volved upon the various magistrates and constables, who, he asserted, now do a little more than draw their pay and should be made to earn their salaries. A great saving to the taxpayers would result from the change,! with better enforcement of ^he game ' laws, he predicted. \ ii Higham Again in State Prison Florence, Fob. 21.?Discovery of the manner in which Harry Johnson1, and James Dnp<>nt, held in connection J with the theft of an automobile ef- i fee ted their escape from the Florence! county jail Tuesday night, has been followed by the transferring pf Edward Higham to the state penitentiary. Higham was carried to Columbia on orders of Governor Richards, i it was stated, the action resulting J from a conference between the Gov- j ernor and Sheriff Barnes in Columbia, j The men cut the bars of their cages ; with a hack saw and gained entrance' into the hall of the cage.

I-I* III* II II Bringm EumI and Went Together Over Continental Divide | Denver, Colo., Feb. 19.-?-A tunnel more than six miles in length today pierced the grunite heart of James l'eak on the Continental Div4de to prove the most difficult of many engineering theories advanced by the late .David 11. Moffatt, pioneer western railroad builder. Moffatt's dream became a reality, last night when President Coolidge pressed a gold key at Washington to set off the blast that tore out an eight foot rock barrier between the east and kvcst bores of the pioneer shaft which runs parallel to the main tunnel. Although much work remains before the main tunnel will be opened to trains next summer, completion of the small bore was regarded by engineers as significant, because it revealed the various strata through which the main tunnel must be constructed. Moffatt's plan was conceived almost half a century ago when he found Huch a project would shorten the route between Denver and Salt Lake City nearly 173 miles. He also found it would eliminate thirty miles of four per cent grade and reduce the incline across the mountains to an average of two per cent. l.ugoff Club to Meet Tuesday Lugoff, S.
