Lancaster Merchant Fleeced
An elegantly, dressed and high-caflutin'
woman stranger made her appearance
in Lancaster Saturday night
and left a well known merchant |
short $10.50 as a.result of a 20 cent
purchase of a salt and pepper shaker,
each costing tey cents. 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. The
game was tried1 on one or two other
merchants Saturday night, but the
"lay of the ground" was unfavorable
and the trick failed to work.?Lancaster

NKW WORLD CHAMPION
" . ... ' '* * '
(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. Fred Young, of
Timmonsville, won two world records
on Jerseys in recent month*

Hartsville Youth Suicides.
Hartsville, Jan 12.?Thomas Byrd
Hicks, 22 one of Hartsville's most
popular young men, was found dead
in his room at the home of his
parents this morning, with a long
gash in his throat on right side extending
from collar button to collar
button. His mother went to his
room at 7 o'clock to awake him to go
to work and was the first td make
the discovery.
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.
Nathan Barnet, former mayor of
Paterson, N. J., willed $700,000 tg
charity and poor, relatives.
George Remus, slayer of his wife,
and recently acquitted in a Cincinnati,
Ohio, court, because of insanity
at the time of the killing, has been
committed to the state insane asylum
for life. Remus is now fighting against
the court judgment of his insanity.

K IU.S FATHER AND MOTHER
.V'\
Feared Iking lUiunu-d To Insane
Anyluin (then Ah (auw
Cusseta, Ga., Jail. 11.-.-Robert 1-.
Jlarp, Jr., 21, killed his parent* with
an axe at hi* lonely farm house four
mile* from here today, and wulked
to (,'usseta to give himself up, explaining
that "they wanted to send
me to an Insane asylum again."
Glibly describing his crime to
Sheriff J. D. McGlaum in jail. 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.
Carl, Earl and Bernie Shelton,
gangsters of Southern Illinois, were
convicted at Taylorsville, 111., Saturday*
on a charge of robbing a savings
bank, and * sentenced to serve ten
years each in prison.

"Is it true that you have broken
off your engagement?" queried the
inquisitive visitor.
The young'man addressed shook his
head mournfully.
vNo," he said, "I didn't break it off."
"Oh,.she broke it off, then?"
The young man again shook his
head.
"But it ih broken off, isn't it?"
"Oh, yes," explained the moody one
I with delicacy. "\She told me what her

just sagged in the middle
and gently dissolved."
