Richardson, former president of the Beaufort Bank and Richard C. Horne, Jr., former president of the South Carolina Agricultural Credit Company, were sentenced to two years in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta today by Judge Ernest F. Cochran in federal court, and Miss Beulah D. Harvey, former secretary and treasurer of the credit company, was sentenced to six months in the coun-! ty jail at Aiken. The three persons were convicted on a charge of conspiracy to file false statements with the federal intermediate credit bank of Columbia for the purpose of obtaining money. In passing sentence on Miss Harvey Judge Cochran stated that he thought it best to pronounce the sentence and reserve to himself the power to suspend the sentence later, if further information came to show her lack of knowledge of the transaction involved in the case. c Edgar A. Brown, leading counsel for the defense filed an appeal to the fourth .circuit court of appeals after a motion for a new trial had been overruled. A thirteen year old Kinston, N.

A horned frog, sealed alive in the cornerstone of the courthouse here 31 years agj, was alive when the stone was opened yesterday according to County Judge Edward S. Pritchard. The old courthouse is being razed. It is a West Texas tradition that a horned frog can exist a century without food or water. A skeptical newspaperman had the judge verify the report that the frog was alive when taken from its long entombment. The cornerstone containing the frog and a number of old newspapers, coins, and Masonic emblems, was opened in the presence of a throng of curious residents. When Eugene Day, surrounded by county officials, picked the toad from the cavity in the stone, a cheer went up. The frog appeared lifeless for some time. Soon it opened its eyes and in about 20 minutes began to breathe. The mouth, however, appeared to have grown together. The frog was placed in a box and is on exhibition. Efforts -will be made to induce it to take food, and if necessary the mouth will be openeo by an operation. Veteran Lawyer Drowned Ottawa, 111., Feb. 16.?Leo O'Neil Browne, lawyer and veteran Illinois legislator, was drowned in the Fox river, at his home here yesterday, while awaiting a verdict in the murder case in which he was defense attorney. He plunged from a 30-foot retaining wall along his estate into the rapid current and his body was swqpt down stream for a quarter of a mile. Less than 15 minutes after the accident the body was recovered with grappling hooks and for more than two hours physicians, firemen and first aid squads labored in a desperate effort to revive the spark of life. Mr. Browne, attorney for Harry Hill, Streator youth accused of matricide, .was awaiting a verdict in the murder case at his hoipe and was showing Charles McNamara, Chicago attorney, his beautiful Ottawa estate. Lancaster Merchant Fleeced. An elegantly dressed and highfalutin' woman stranger made her appearance in Lancaster Saturday night and Iqft a well known merchant short $10.50 as a result of a 20 cent purchase of a salt and pepper shaker, each costing ten 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 given her in change for the $20 bill. The error was discovered by the time the woman had'reached the front floor. She was hailed but the words fell on deaf ears and the woman hurried into the street. The game was tried on one or two other merchants Saturday night, but the "lay of the ground" was unfavorable and the trick failed to work.? Lancaster Ndws. Notice to Debtors and Creditors.

Avery built into this business the ideal that "A thing worth doing at all is worth doing well." The result Is a big department , of designers and inventors whose chief business is thinking. Avery P/m Features are the result. For example: Any short couple^ planter can do a passable job of planting in hilly places where rows are short and irregular. But passable does not satisfy Avery. Therefore you find in the Avery line the Terrace King Planter?a double jointed, flexible planter especially deA ? signed by Avery experts to do a per/act job i of planting in the crookedest rows. To do this j B many new features were developed?among . L ' . v-i : them a special pivoted frame* with the pivot j at a point directly in front of the opener. This permits very sharp turns. In addition; , the planting mechanism is driven direct from H . ? yqt the axle. All chains, gears and other friction H producing parts are eliminated.
