-
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.

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

KittyhawkHonors
Wright Brothers
Kittyhawk, N. C? 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.
