'ersey Sale Put Fine
Cattle Into Piedmont
Greer, Feb. 9.^-At a Jersey cattle
lale here Feb. 1, sponsored by banks
if Greenville, Greer, and Spartarfburg
ind other agricultural leaders, some
[00 farmers were present and bid in
ibout 20 head of cattle within a few
ninutes. The animals were sold atost
to farmers of Greenville and
Ipartunburg counties.
These 21 heifers were bought in
Tennessee by W. R. Gray, county
agent, of Greenville, and W. C. Snarr,
of the American Jersey Cattle Club.
The cattle were in thfn condition and
had not been fitted for sale, but were
well bred, most of them carrying
Hood Farm blood. Several of them
were daughters of that show bull,
Gamboge Royal Heritage.. Fourth.
Others, were sired- by .Ayredales
Ringing Bell, Pogis of Debrode; and
Gamboge Royal Heritage' Ninth.
Several of the young heifers went to
boys as calf club animals, and will
be seen later in club exhibits.
(Everybody ocnnected with this sale
us well pleased with the interest
town in good purebred dairy cattle
id "It seems That more cattle could
avc been placed in this section. It
as felt that the - placing of many
urebred bulls in this section during
le past year by the county agents
as partly responsible for the deand
for purebred cows.
Maria Christina, queen mother of
Spain, died at the royal palace in
Madrid early Wednesday morning.
Maria Christina ruled Spain as regent
from 1885 until 1912, when Alfonso
became old enough to assume

Records Are Broken
For Extreme Cold
Berlin, Feb. 11.??Cold of a greater
intensity than has been recorded
since 1590 was experienced in Silesi i
today. Reports indicated that the
frigidity extended well into the
Balkan states.
? Forty nine degrees below zero
Fahrenheit was the temperature reported
from Landeshut, Silesia! Nothing
to equal this has been known
there, it was said, for 239 years.
Berlin, with a mark of 22 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit, had its coldest
spell in 130 years. Breslau
registered five below in the early
hours. Three children were frown to
death near that city.
Breslau was startled by a heavy
detoaation just before daylight. It
was found that the frost had cracked
one of the bridges over the river
Oder, leaving a gap nearly an inch
wide^ right across the bridge from
one parapet to the other.
Two persons were frozen to death
on the streets of Berlin, while 250
were given treatment for "frost
bites.** Birds dropped dead from
trees in the Tiergarten.
Cologne said it had the coldest
earnival time sinee 1895. The River
Rhine' was frozen from bank to bank
at the famous Lorelei rock, an extremely
rare occurrence.
Using an acetylene torch yeggmen
burned th^ir way through the vault
door of the Farmers and Merchants
bank at Fairbluff, N. C., Friday night
and got away with about $11,000.
Nothing else was disturbed and" the
bank opened for business Saturday
morning as usual, money being secured
from near by banks. The loss
of\*the money to the burglars is
covered by insurance.

cotton manufacturer, has purchased

Some Oddities of
The Law Courts
fr"'
Over ^4,000,000 in suits against various
newspapers have been brought
by Dan Hoag, broom manufacturer
of CauandaigqiaL ^1. Y. He charge*
that Sidney Ornish's comic character
"Andy Gump" is his likeness and
that continued publication is holding
him up to ridicule and scorn. Again
he charges thkt the chinless features
of the comic character "Uncle Sim"
libel him. Mr. Hoag's lower jaw was
cut away jn 1015 because of a cancerous
growth. From that time on
his towns-people have referred to
him as "Andy,"
"1 stand ready to defend my homo
against any human being, but the
dream-lover is something else again,"
spid Paul %}u?im, of Chicago, in
petitioning for divorcer He stated
that for two years his wife has been
in quest of a "dream-lover." Judge
Gammill said it was the first time he
ever heard of a ghost being named u
correspondent, but he guessed Boheim
deserved a decree.
When a Chicago jury acquitted a
defendant who, a policeman testified,
was found at midnight on the roof
of a house with a kit of burglar tools, ]
Judge Rush sentenced> the jurors to
sit in the rear of the court for 11
days and "try to learn something of
your duties as jurors."
Seven years ago little Helen McLaughlin,
of New York, lost her leg
when run over by a truck of the
Greiner Contracting Co., which was
hauling bricks for the Audley Clark
Co. Supreme Court Justice Cropsey
dismissed the suit as against the
Greiner Co. and the jury returned a
verdict of $15,000 against the Audley
Clark Co. The appellate court later
set aside the verdict, holding that the
Audley Clark Co. was not liable. The
Greiner Co. was liable, the court said,
but owing to the failure of Justice
Cropsey to note an exception to His
liability ruling the Greiner Co. "is
absolved from responsibility" and the
child has no redness.
A neighbor of Mrs. Vallie McGinnis,
of Washington, charged her in
court with having said the naughty
word "damn" when a truck drivel*'
broke a water pipe on her lawn. Th*
judge, however, said the word waslegal
and the name of the Deity was
not taken in vain.
In a recent suit fc* divorce in New
York Mrs. Regina Parker told of going
through her hubby's pockets to
find incriminating evidence. The
judge interrupted h? r to remark:
"That's every woman's privilege.""
A judgment does not necessarily
mean payment of the money awarded.
For example, some time ago Mrs.
Veronica M. Steuart of Chicago received
(on paper) a $50,000 heart
balm as a result, of suit against'her
mother-in-law for alienation of Mr.
Steuart's alfections. After being divorced
the Steuarts announced their
intention of remarrying to Judge
Joseph Davis cut the damage to one
cent.
And it remains to be seen whether
Herman Brannon collects the $28,000
awarded him by the Nebraska supreme
cou?| for being partially paralyzed
from the bite of a snake while
working for the Northwestern railroad.
"The idea?you fellows willing to
see your father go to jail because he
isn't able to pay alimony," said Judge
William Gammill at Chicago in criticizing
two sons of Dr. William B.
Hanelin. The jurist added; you
i won't help him I will?the alimony
is reduced to $40 a week."?The

Timberland Values
Being Recognized
Vsrn Brothei# Company, merchants
and extensive farm and timberland
owners at Smoakn, South Carolina,
are planning to plant pine trees on
*|1 unprofitable farm land and open
places on their holdings where the
present aland of timber is inadequate
to utilise all the timber,growing
possibilities of the soil, and Mr.
W. H. Varn has requested the assistance
of State Forester Staley in
planning hi# reforestation program.
The Viirn property is in the slash
pine belt and well adapted to growing
this very valuable tree. While
the turpentine industry is uppermost
in Mr. Varn's mind, he ha# not
lost sight of the big timber value
after the treep have served their purpose
for naval storearvMr. Yarn la
working on the proposition entirely
from a business standpoint. He realizes
that--paying taxes on "loafing"
acre# is not good business judgement,
and with the cooperation of the
State Forester will start a foreBt
tree nursery on the property for the
purpose of supplying the necessaYy
tree seedlings. While this is being
done, Mfc. Varn is planning further
forest fire protection for all his holdings.
Florida in The Limelight
Fate decreed that Florida should
entertain the President, the Presidentelect
and a defeated presidential candidate
at the same time. While M'-.
Hoover was resting near * Miami
Beach, former Gov. A1 Smith of New
York was vacationing ^ at Sarasota
and President Coolidge was dedieat
ing the Edward W. Bok bird sanctuary
at Mountain I^ake. The Associated
Press relates what .extraordinary
preparations were taken to
safeguard the President-elect on his
journey by special train frotn the
capital to the Everglades' state:
"A pilot train preceded the Hoover
train by 20 minutes, and another followed
it by 30 minutes. Each train
was equipped with full wrecking outfit,
portable telephones and - electric
markers. Freight trains were prohibited
from thi main line'for-three
hours before the pilot train. All
northbound trains were required to
come to a stop at the approach of
the pilot train, and remain standing
until the follow-up train passed.
Switc es were spiked all along the
route. Telegraph operators were held
on duty throughout the night at all
stations .n'ough which the procession
passed. 'Wrecking crews were
assembled at every operating point,
and emergency engines were also
held steamed up and in readiness.
At points where the Coast Line cross^
ed other railroads, the trains -of the
other roads were held off the interlocking
plant _for an, hour before the
arrival of the pilot train."
President-elect Hoover announces
that he will be unable to make a goodwill
tour of-Cuba and the West Indies
prior to inauguration as had been
proposed.?The Pathfinder.
Killed While Dropping Note
. Erwin, N. C., Feb. 11.?Walter
Phillips, a farmer, is dead and Marvin
Norris, airplane pilot, Is seriously
burned because Phillips wanted to
drop a note from a plane to his wife
this afternoon.
They were flying near the Phillip's
home, between Erwin and Dunn, N.
C., when Norris dipped, to enable
Phillips to throw the note over the

in her yard.
The note was dropped but the plane
was unable to gain altitude and it
fell to the ground a short distance
away. Almost immediately it burst
into flames and before the men could
be dragged out, both were badly injured.
