t rivial Argument
Causes Death For One
SparUnburg, April A? the ro.
?ult of an argument over the right of
way between the owner of u wagon
and an automobile late today, Jc<?Ke
P. Groce, a well known man of the
city, in dead and Jesse Lowe j? in the
county jail charged with murder.
'J he tragedy occurred near the corner
of Trade and Commerce streets
and was the afteriAath of a knife
fight between the two men the police
stated. The difficulty started, it is
said, when Groce attempted to back
an automobile from a garage. Lowe'c
wagon was in the path, of the machine,
it is sai.d. This precipitated an
argument and a hand to hand scuffle
botween the two men ensued dbring
which Groce was stabbed in the neck.
^ With blood flowing from the wound
Groce is said to have stepped back
into the car and hurried to his home.
He was accompanied by a Mrs. Smith.
Later Groce returned to the scene of
the argument and parked in front of
Lowe s stable. As lie stepped out of
the car he met Lowe. Both men drew
pistols simultaneously, it is said.
Witnesses stated three shots were
fired. Groce fell mortally wounded.
He was picked up in a pool of blood
a few minutes later by an ambulance
and hurried to & hospital, where he
died before he could be placed on an
operating table.
Lowe notified the authorities of
the slaying and was arrested a short
time later.
Although he made no statement
his attorneys declared he would enter
a plea of self defense when arraigned
on the charge of murder. They claim
the slayer was in his own establishment
when Groce is alleged to have
advanced on him with a revolver. According
to police who investigated tho
killing Groce had a revolver in his
hand, when he staggered away from
Lowe and slumped to the sidewalk.
Both weapons are in the possession
of the police.
airplane endurance record
Came Back to America Prom Germany
Last Week
Jacksonville Beach, Fla., March 31;
The world's airplane endurance record
came back to America from
Germany yesterday, when Edward
Stinson and George Haldemann, set
a new mark here of 53 hours, 36
minutes, 30 seconds.
The new mark was one hour, 13
minutes, 58 seconds beyond the record
of 52 hours, 22 minutes, 31 seconds
made last August by Johann
Risticz and Cornelius Edzard, German
fliers, using the Junkers plane,
Europa.
After jockeying their single-motored
Stinson-iDetroiter monoplane, to
take every advantage of breeze and
altitude, the American aviators came
dawn yesterday afternoon at 1:40:10
Eastern Standard time, with five gallons
of their original 550 gallons of
fuel still in the tanks. They hfcd
taken the air at 7:37:40 o'clock last
Wednesday morning.
It was the second time that Stinson,
veteran flier, had made an endurance
record. Overjoyed at the feat,- and
worn and begrimed from the more
than two days and nights in the air
he said simply "tired, yes, but happy
that we are able to bring the record
back to this country."
The first day up the fliers experienced
June-like weather but
yesterday choppy air currents . forced
them to higher altitudes to escape the
bumps and conserve their fuel. - They
had to climb higher still last night
but today a brisk southwest breeze
buoyed them and they took every advantage
of it.
"We/xhad rough going at times yesterday
and today," said Stinson "running
into hjioppy winds, but it wasn't
so bad." The fliers smiled out of the
hotel window this afternoon when a
rainstorm swept up.
"Seems the weather saved up mo3t
of its meanness until we came down,"
Haldeman remarked.
Premature explosion of an aerial
bomb decapitated Buck Steel, stunt
flyer, and also killed Francis Ashcraft,
passenger in an airplane participating
in an air derby at Macon,
Ga. The blazing plane fell 7,000 feet>
into the business district, killing a
pedestrian and injuring two others.

CHANCE TO QUALIFY
Fur One Hundred Bushel C/urn Club
South Carolina
Clemsorf College, April 7.?Membership
in the South Carolina 100
JBushcl Corn Club, is open to any
fa rmer in the state who grown as
much as 500 bushels on five acres,
says 1). W. Watkins, assistant director
of extension. Last year two men,
W. N. Ashe, of Lancaster county, and
B. K. Smith, of Edgefield county,
qualified as charter members of this
honor club.
'Mr. Ashe produced lOS.'j bushels
an acre. By plowing under a heavy
bur clover crop and applying 200
pounds an acre of 12-4-4 fertiliser, he
was able to make this yield. Mr.
Smith grew 100 bushels and 39 pounds
an acre on the same five acres on
which he won the second prize in the
South Carolina Cotton Contest 'n
1926. He sided reused his corn with
1000 pounds of acid phosphate, 400
pounds of nitrate of soda and 160
pounds of muriate of potash.
Although this club was established
in 1926 by the Extension Service to
encourage better methods of producing
our most neglected crop, no
one qualified until last year. Yields
of 100 bushels an acre have been
made on single acres by a number of
farmers and club boys as well, but
it is believed that only Mr. Ashe and
Mr. Smith have authentically made
such five-acre yields in South Carolina,
says Mr. Watkins.
With South Carolina's average
yields about 15 bushels an acre, it is
choaper for many farmers to buy
western corn than to grow it, but
not for Mr. Ashe, who grew his for
19 eents a bushel, Mr. Watkins says, j
Any farmer proposing to qualify I
this year for membership in the club i
must notify his county farm agent
before July, so he and extension
agronomists can check up. Although ,
there are no cash prizes, the 100bushel
club marks a member as a
public benefactor through his example
and as a mighty good farmer.

Henry Laird, a prisoner at Monessen,
Pennsylvania, walked out of jail and ;
went to the show. After the show,
while the police force searched the
city, he returned to his cell, and was
asleep when found.
