Com For Everbody - HE corn pack for 1927 has been f|L counted by the United States Department of Commerce with the result that every person in the United States is entitled to two cans of corn, and there are a number of extra ones ? about thirty-seven million ? left over for those who want three cans. On the basis of standard cases of number 2 cans, there were 10,346,680 cases, or 248,320,320 cans. Maryland is the queen corn stat? if number of canneries is considered, for she has seventy-four; but Illinois with only twenty-nine canneries produces 1,961,433 standard cases to Maryland's 1,493,226. Kinds of Canned Corn One reason for the comparatively large number of canneries is that sweet corn will lose sweetness if there is a delay between the time of picking and canniiig Therefore, canners make every effort to get the corn in the cans and sealed up within a few hours after it is picked in order to provide the best possible I quality, Canned corn, as a rule, is put up in two ways, the so-called wholegrain style and the cream style. In the former, the ears are husked and the kernels cut from them; in the cream style the upper part of the kernel is cut off and the creamy contents are forced out by means of scrapers. Of the two types the housewife can select the one which best meets her needs and yet maintains quality. The best grades come in gold enamel lined cans which preserve the. corn's color. Didn9t Like His Looks; Negro Man Is Killed Kingstree, May 6.?With apparently no more reason than "negro, I don*t like your looks" a stranger shot and instantly killed Dave Finklea, negro, between 35 and 40 years of* age, this afternoon at' a . Ailing station on the Charleston highway one mile on the Williamsburg side of the Santee river, according to the story told Sheriff Gamble and his deputy, G. N. Hammett, by Joe Gamble, proprietor of the station and employer of Finklea, "Cap'n I can't help how I made" is stated to have been the only thing the negro said. "Two white men between the ages of 30 and 35 shortly before 2 o'clock rode up to my stand," said Joe Gamble according to Williamsburg officers. "They both wore light colored suits and felt hats. They opened conversation With me and stated they were going to Camden. "One of the men claimed he was a magistrate in Berkeley county and the other said he was a federal officer, but neither gave any names. Both appeared to have been drinking. "There were three men at the filling station, tyvo negroes, one of them being Finklea, and I. "One ofj the men walked up to Finklea who was a ehort, stout negro and pulling his pistol remarked, 'Negro I dont like your looks.' The negro ran into the filling station and called, "Cap'n I can't ^ help how I made." "Then apparently concluding that the man was only~ teasing him the negro came out. The stranger shot at him gnd missed. The negro ran down the Greeleyville road toward his home lor about 25 yards. The stranger fired a second time, the bul> let entered the negro's heart killing j him instantly. ' f "The strangers jumped in their ear, drove a short distance down the road beyond the body, turned and made their escape acroes the Santee into Berkeley county. Neither I nor the remaining negro got the car number, 30 quick and unexpected did the killing happen It was at 1:45 o'clock. The white men were riding in a Ford roadster of about a 1925 modei. It had recently been painfted grey and was equipped with front and rear bumpers." .Sheriff H. S. Gamble, of Williamsburg, haa offered a reward of $50 for the arrest of the two men and has notified all officers of surrounding! counties to be on the lookout for them. Dave Finklea was a native of this section *nd wis employed at the fill-1 mg station, tio had worked in Kings- i tree from time to time. The two white -men, who claimed to be from Berkeley, were strangers to him as far as can be ascertained Gamble's filling station is located on the Charleston highway at the in. lersection of the Lanes and Greeleyville road.

Cauthen, was held here yesterday after arrival of his body from Oteen hospital at Asheville, N. C., where he had been taken a short ^while ago-in an effort to prolong his life, but where he had declined 1 steadily until hie death. Mr. Cauthen was of a very quiet nature but his unfailing good nature had made him friends without number who will bepained to hear of his passing. .Mr. Cauthen was an ex-service man seeing a full year's service In France as a soldier in the Eighty-first division and the last honors paid him were the funeral rites of his fellow soldiers, members of local post and the Leroy Belk post of the American legion at Camden. His remains were buried at Fork Hill cemetery, the religious services being conducted -by the Rev. George E. Smith and the Rev. J. A. Faile of Kershaw.

' - ?~ J Two Shot to Death In Lexington County Lexington, April HO.?Mr?. Dorothy (iunti'r, wife of Ralph Gunter, and Thurmond Rodger?, single, hoth about 36, were shot to death at the (Junior home in lower Lexington i county, near the Aiken county line late Sunday night. I Sheriff Oswald received a tele-j phone'cat! about 10:80 last night ask ing him to quell a disturbance in the community where the Gunter home is located in Lexington county, near the Aiken line, the call purporting to come from two girls, 16 and 13 years old, who stayed at the Gunter home. They are said to have gone to tho home of neighbors before the shooting took place and to have remained away since. When the sheriff arrived at the scene the shooting was over. According to the 7-year-old son of Mrs. Gunter, who is supposed to have been the only eye witness to the tragedy, Rodgers shot Mrs. Gunter and then killed himself. A single barreled shotgun with a discharged shell was found by the side of Mrs. Gunter's body, which lay just inside the door with the feet in the doorway. A hole made by a load of shot was found in the door by her aide. By the side of Rodgers was a double barreled shotgun with exploded shells in both barrels. According to information given officers, Rodgers went to the Gunter home about 10:30 or 11 o'clock Sunday night and was met at the door by Mrs. Gunter, who carried a single barreled shotgun, Rodgers carrying a double barreled piece. The theory is advanced that Mrs. Gunter may have been shot and her gun discharged as she fell, the hole in the floor bearing out this supposition. The type of shot in both bodies is said to correspond to tho shells found in the gun that lay by the side of Itodgera and aoue. with the sort from J the shell in the gun found by Mrs. Gunter's side. j Ralph Gunter, husband of the slain woman, says he was at his lot feeding his stock when he heard the sound of three shots at his house and going there found Rodgers' body laying just outside the door and his wife's in the fHh-eshold on the inside. Bbth were shot through the temple at close range, the loads of shot hav-' ing entered in almost solid mass. j Rodgers, who was single, lived a tec1 distance from the Gunters but hcross the Aiken county line. Mrs, Gunter is .survived by her husband and the small son. In the absence of Corone R. W. C. i Weed, Magistate B. B. Clarke conducted the investigation and will probably be ih charge of the inquest, which^vill be held at Pelibn Thurs-j day Afternoon at 2 o'clock. I J Order By Phone!

May 2^?With the great outside world echoing acclaim , for the latest feat of modern aviation, . villagers of this isolated sea roof, paid homage today to Orvillo and Wilbur Wright, first to fly a machine heavier than air and propelled by so engine. , Near the lonely dunes, close by ! the ocean, a modest marble monument has been erected. It is inscribed: "On this spot Septembor 17, 1900, Wilbur Wright began the assembly of -the Wright Brothers first experimental glider, which led to man's conquest of the air. Erected by citizens of Kittyhawk, N. C., 1928." Those assembled to watch the drawing of the veil from the stdne included many persons who were intimately associated with the Wrights during their struggle to make their huge box kite fiy. At first regarding them as somewhat crazy, Kittyhawk finally took brothers to heart and was finally electrified when on December 17, 1908, jOrville Wright made the first successful flight in a power driven plane. The executioner of the District of Columbia is said to have refused to execute five persons under sentence of death in the district. A man Hv*v ing at Reesedale,.Pa., has offered to do the job if the price is right. Ho wants particulars.
