HAITI.liS WITH AN AXK
Hut Three Intruder* Shoot Down Man
mi Ilia Home
< Icorgrtown, Feb. 21.?Oliver Car .!,
who yesterday fought with an
ax<- three armed men until he was
shot down, is in a critical condition
in a hospital here tonight.
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'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..
Cauthen are former residents of
Heath Springs and their friends in j
Lancaster county are delighted over
the outcome of the child's misfortune.

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. \

Florence, Fob. 21.?Discovery of
the manner in which Harry Johnson1,

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. A piece J
of tin had been inserted between the i
bolts of the outer door and the catch i
so that it would not close when the
levers were sprung. After Johnson
and DuPont left they placed the sev-1
ered bars back in place and covered ;
the cut places with chewing gum.

BIX MILK TUNNEL . i
I. 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. C., Feb. 21.?The next
meeting of the Lugoff Home Demonstration
club will be held at "Mrs.
Victor Ward's on Tuesday, March 1,
at 3 p.m., when the fourth lesson in
nutrition and food selection will be
given with the help of Miss Alma
Hurgess, county agent. All members
are urged to attend this meeting, especially
those working for credit in
the courses. Any women interested

and the club will be glad to
have them become members.
Miss Daisy Welling, hotel telephone
operator, was assaulted and robbed
on the eapitol grounds in Washington
last Friday night. Congress will
probably offer rewards for the capture
of her assailant.
