His W:moii of the shooting of Policeman 1'enninger is considerably at variance with the testimony brought out at the inquest. "1'enninger had on no ui .form and 1 had no way of being sure he was an officer when he attempted to arrest me and my brother, Frank. He refused to let me see the paper he said was a warrant and 1 thredf my gun on him and told him to stick up his hands. Instead of doing this he began to hack off toward his repair shop and my brother called to rue tiiut I'enninger was going to get a gun and shoot me. My brother then hit him ui, the head with a pistol and when I'enninger wheeled around and started for the shop 1 shot twice. 1 did not knov. whether m not 1 killed him, wasn t sun- about this until after I confessed to my part in the affair."

Ala., May 23.?The badly mangled bodies of two boys, John and Hubert Sumner? of Stevenson, were found on the tracks of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad near here by a track walker early yesterday morning. It is believed the boys were hit by a train. WINTER RATION BEATS PASTURE IN FEED TEST Experts have never agreed as to the exact value of pasture as a ! summer ration for dairy cows. An unn&ual test conducted at the Ijirro Research Farm, Redford. Mich., seems to settle conclusively any dis pute about the relative merits of grain and grass. Eight cows were chosen for the trials?four pure-bred and four grade Holsteins, nil of which hftd freshened within a few weeks in March nnd April, 1920. These eight cows were divided Into two groups of four, as nearly equal in milk on pnelty nnd production as possible. Two pure-breds nnd two grades were placed in each group. One herd of four was turned out on very good pasture June 1. 1926 Throughout the summer the pasture was better than tho nvcrnge. On September 27. two of these pasture-fed cows were taken off grass. The other two came off pasture October 9, and all four have since been fed on the regular winter ration. The four cows in the other half of the test herd received no pasture at all during the summer months, but remained on their normal ration of grnln, hay nnd silage throughout the test period. When the cows to he pasture-fed went on grass. June 1. they averaged 1.101 lbs In weight, while the fbur cows tr> he stall-fed averaged 1,183 lbs. In the next four months the four pasture cows lost., an aver age of 08 lbs. in weight, while the grain-fed cows made an average gain of 82 lbs?a difference of 150 lbs. per cow In favor of grain feeding. The pasture cows, tin March I, 1927, weighed 107 IbsVmoro than rhey did on the previous June 1. wliereas the stall fed onws averneed 141 more pounds in/weight. More striking ?t/i) is the record ^f.mllk production of the test herd. During April nnd May. 1920. the our stall fed cows had produced ??nly 10T).7 lbs more milk than the other four. In the period from June 1 to October 1. these stall-fed cows produced 0.4S0.8 lbs. more milk than their riv,nl? who were on pns Mire; and from October to January produced 4,158.9 lbs more milk? i0;6S9.7 more lbs. of milk from thf ?tall-fcd cows In the eight monthtarting June 1. While the cows which performs o splendidly through the summei tnd fall months had no pasture at \U. It is not to bo expected that th< average dairyman will eliminate pasture from his feeding schedule but these results prove beyond dls pute that it pays to feed grain as a supplement to r^'u-a.

The defendant in one of the state's most noted murder eases, through a j compromise on the part of his attorneys and the state prosecutor, is given bis life. A little Inter a man, charged with various violation's- of the state banking laws which resulted in a big bank failure and the loss of the life savings of many, is allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges and the more serious charges against him plashed. 1 He draws a fine of $5,000. Lo-xs in his bank ran into hundreds of thousands. A- third man. who confessed to misappropriating thousands of state funds, when put on trial is found not guilty. In two cases, the dec ision was not left to a jury; in the third what movdd a jury of twelvemen to say that it is not unlawful to take the public's money? \N e are not trying those eases nor are we saying there has been a miscarriage of justice in any of these or similar instances but we are asking is it safe for solicitors and other state prosecutors to barter with counsel for the defense; will this promote justice and prevent crime in South Carolina? If one murderer is to be saved from 'he death penalty, if one hank wrecker s to gain his freedom by bartering with state attorneys what is there to | prevent others who commit criminal I acts to aigue that they may not fare 'as well or hettei ? If the men In the two cases cited are innocent, why go to prison at all or pay a fine? But should not their guilt or innocence have been left to a petit jury? Of what use, anyway, is a petty jury if a man can trade himself out of prison or the rlertrie chair??Spartanburg Journal. Argument Over Flier Causes Killing New York, May 2d.?An argument over the nationality of Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, today resulted in the death of one man and the arrest of another on charge of homicide. Joseph Hand, 45, Brooklyn, was stabbed in the heart when the argument became heated and died while being taken from an Fast Side cafe to a hospital. His alleged assailant, Sidney Ivevene, 28, was\ arrested a short time later. ^ ^ One-third of the year consists either of Sunday or national holidays in Brazil, the exact number of working days being 245.

Saw Two Sunsets in Day Probably one ui the first men to see the sun set twice on the same day is an Knglish airman. Flying from London to Paris late one evening, he saw the sun go down.

But give him a good feed ? what a powerful difference that makes I Same way with a cotton plant. Growing uses up its strength and energy. Just about chopping time every cotton plant in your fields needs a good feed. Side-dress them with 150 to 200 pounds of in urate ot Skxla. Watch those cotton plants of yours pick up, thrive, put on squares and get ? fruit ahead of the boll weevil. That assures a real crop. And consider this ? an acre of cotton is just thousands of hungry plants. Feed them and they will pay you. Cotton growers everywhere, practical farmers like yourself, have proved the value of side-dressing with Nitrate of Soda for producing hundreds, of pounds of extra cotton over and above the yield they gf?t off of fields not side-dressed. Side-dressing does great things for corn, too. Do you want that profit paying cotton and corn? The way is easy. Just cut out this advertisement and write your name and address in the margin.
