A $20 bill was produced to pay for the articles, and the error was made when the woman asked for change for a $10 bill which the merchant had giv-en her in change for the $20 bill. The error was discovered by the time the woman had reached the front door. She was hailed but the words fell on deaf ears and the woman hurried into the street.

' '* * ' (iWernM'y From Ceker'a Herd Win* Highest Honors. / HmUvilU', Jan. 14.-?A "ew world's record for Guernsey cows four to four apd a half years old in the Farmers Class was created.teceptly by f'oker Golden Carnation 186468, a cow own*#'by the Pedigreed Seed Company here." "Phis record was made with a production of 12,887.8 pounds of milk and 880.7 pounds of butterfat in HOG days, and with milkIngs juHt twice daily to comply with "Farmers Class" regulations. 'Carnation" broke the old butterfat record for that class by 10 pounds, in spite of the fact that ?he went dry just seven days before the test ended. "Carnation" made a worthy record of 028.6 pounds of fat in 806 days when two year* old. She has sufficient size and true dairy type to mark her as a great producer. She swings an udder big enough to hold as much as 00 pounds in u day under the two-milkinge-a-day handicap. Her ndble ancestry is considerably responsible for her great abilities. She was sired by Amelia's Rocie Gold of Ophir 80,400, whose eight tested daughters have averaged 501 ^pounds of fat in a year, each one producing more at two and a half years or younger than hd* ^mature mother. The dam of our new world champion was Carnation of Coker Farms, producer of 429.05 pounds of fat in a year. ''Carnation" got out of doors every day during the year, on pasture of oats and rye three-fourths of her winter and on millet last spring. Last summer she ate vast quantities of green corn under the breezes of a fan, and last fall was fed gTeen soybeans, with soybean hay and silage for her winter roughage and abundant grain every day of the year. This is the third dairy world championship to come to South Carolina and the first in the Guernsey breed in the South.

The body was found lying on the floor in front of the fire place, his head resting on a pillow. A safety razor' blade was lying nearby. Death is thought to have occurred probably j a short time before the discovery. He was unmarried. No motive is ascribed for the act. Coroner J. H. Kistler empanelled a jury at 9 o'clock. A careful inquiry was made into all details and the verdict reached after two hours was that the young man had come to his death from a cut inflicted by his own hands.

The junior Harp said he slipped up be. hind his father and split his skull, and then chased his mother into the yard, where she met a like fate. Both died immediately.4 "I>ad was at the radio," he said, "and I just walked up behind him. Mother ran out back and 1 chased her. They wanted to send me to Milledgeville (insane asylum) and 1 have had enough of asylums." Two, hours had elapsed before the youth, who until two years ago was regarded as precocious, appeared to realize the enormity of his crime. "My God," ho exclaimed to-Sheriff McGlaum when the officer returned to his cell to question him further. "I've killed mother and dad. What shall I do? What shall I do?" By that time crowds of curious had gathered, and noticing them the youth pleaded to be taken "to the top floor -whero those people can't see me." His wishes were complied with. Today was the second insane outburst of. young Harp, the sheriff said, the first occurring two years ago when the youth barricaded himself in his father's home here and defied a force of deputies. At that time he shot one of his captors, who recovered. , Officers took -him in custody and sent, him at the request of his parents to a private sanitarium in Atlanta, Eighteen months ago he was allowed to return to Cusseta with an asylum attendant. He was placed on a small truck farm. His parents remained in Cusseta, occasionally visiting him. The attendant left and the younger Harp continued to farm his small tract of land alone. It was during one of these visits today that Robert's outburst bccurred.
