Stewart, white, was yesterday convicted of manslaughter in the summer term of bWUr vuuuiy rourt. !t will Vx* recalled that Stewart shot and killed Bartow Y. Milam, near the -Eureka Mill on the morning of April first, last. Immediately following the shooting Milam was taken to the I'ryor Hospital where he underwent an operation but died a few hours thereafter. Much interest has been taken in the trial and the court house has been packed since the case was called. Stewart contended, and pro- | dured witness to prove, that ho was drunk on the morning of the shooting and he further contended that Milam1 was his friend and that he had no malice toward him and that the cause of the affair was due to the fact that he was drunk and not of his right mind when the fatal shot was fired. Before coming to Chester Stewart resided at Great Falls for some time. Milam also lived in Great Falls before coming to Chester. Character witnesses stated that Stewart was of good reputation and apparently he is a man of <.ui..siderahle I intelligence Mr contend* that he re grets the affair exceedingly and th*'. he Would i.'j'. havf killed Mi lam for anything. Mr.- Ad j :airi. widow of the mar. | killed, appeared a.^ a witness Wed* [ nefeday and staled that she knew i of no reason for the shooting, knowj inj^ of no enmity between the two I men.

S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with rural mail carr lers. All states show increases but the greatest increases are in the South Central stales, whore 12 percent of pigs were saved, and in the South Atlantic1 state#, were 10 percent Were saved. The history of the hog industry predicts that an increase in hog numl>ers will be accompanied by a decrease iri price, ari'J less clear profit will be made. Hut farmers using forage < rops and feeding home-grown feeds to hogs need have no worry, says I.. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman. The most successful livestock men are those who feed some hogs every year. When they see that the market will decline they sell down closely, and when they see that hogs are to be scarce and diurn chuufj they increase their herds, says Professor Starkey. | "Fortunately, South Carolina's hog producers are not plungers,' he continues. "Most of the hogs are scat* . tered over the state so that pork ^ will lie produced economically in spite of low prices. A few years ago there ' were plungers, particularly with purebreds, but they lost heavily when the drop came. "We still stick to our program: j'One brood sow for every farm'. We believe that farmers who follow this will profit , regardless of the rise | and fall of prices," Triplets Horn At Sumter Klsie Stewart, colored, of Magood, gave birth last night at the Tuomey Hospital to triplets?three perfectly formed and healthy babies.

Legendary history was that K?'> was a prisoner of war while watching the British bombardment of Baltimore and Fort Mciienry during the war 01 1812.
