Fgrmer Texas Judge
Kills Son-in-Law
Amurillo, Tex., May 6.?H. H.
Hamilton, a former judge on the commission
of appeals of the Texas state
Supreme court, yesterday jihot and
killed his 21 year old' son-in-law,
Thomas Walton, Jr., and explained the
slaying only by saying: "I had rather
be dead than kill a man, but 1 had to
protect my family."
The shooting occurred, in Hamilton's
law office, where the boy was
reported to have come to disclose that
he had married Hamilton's daughter,
Theresa, 19. Both' Walton and his
young wife formerly attended Texas
i University.
Although Mr. Hamilton, after the
shooting, denied his daughter was
married, records in the county clerk's
office at Georgetown, Texas, near
Austin, site of the university,
revealed that Thereat^ Hamilton and
Thomas? Walton, Jr., were married
last February 10.
Mrs. Hamilton had been in Austin
I with the daughter since January it
became known after Walton's death.
Mrs, Walton had been a patient in an
{Austin hospital for a period recently,
{friends there said. I
Byt efforts to find Theresa and her
I mother tonight were unavailing and
lit was assumed they had left for
I Amarillo.
J Friends said Walton had been sent
jto Hamilton's office to "explain everything."
He was shot a few minuses
I after he entered the door and said to
a stenographer "if you hear some
I shooting you'll know I've been shot.
Mr. Hamilton was released late
I today on $20,000 bond after waiving
1 preliminary hearing^

1 Hill-Drop
Planter8
To Save Cotton Seed
Clemson College, May 4.?In view
of the serious damage to cotton from j
recent winds fand sandstorms neces- I
sitating much replanting and the re- I
suiting scarcity of seed, hill-drop 1
cotton planters are suggested for use
where available, says Prof. J. T. Me- I
Abater, Kxtension agrieultural en. I
gineer, for these planters save seed
as well as subsequent labor in phop- I
ping and hoeing." A further advantage
is that plants are uniformly I
placed in the drill.
It is not necessary, Mr. McAlister 1
explains, to buy a planter just for I
hill dropping, as a number of I
machines that handle all kind of seeds I
can also be had with the hill-dropping I
attachment. Some of these tend to I
scatter the seed in a hill, while others I
place all of them together, The lat- I
ter type will insure a more uniform I
stand, hut plants will bo somewhat I
harder to thin than those scattered in I
a hill. Usually five to ten seed are I
placed in a hill and these are thinned I
to three plants at the first chopping.
This will vary according to the distance
between hills.
Some of the machines that seem to 1
be giving good results are the
Covington, Avery Red Fox, Memphis
10, and Cole 40. The John Deero
two-row planter can also be equipped
for hill dropping. It is weU to keep
r m nd that the gauge shoe on all
cotton planters should be carefully
adjusted to give a uniform depth to
seed.
Died From Bull's Injury
i
> Sorrow was caused throughout
York and Chester Counties hy lhe
death of James Cloud Hicklin, 62,
well-knowru farmer of the Fishing
Creek section of Chester County,
( Tuesday * afternoon, resulting from
, severe injuries that he sustained by
. being attacked by a raging bull at
his home Sunday afternoon while
. driving his cows home.
Mr. Hicklin would probably have
f- been killed outright, except "fbr the
fact, it is said, that he grabbed the
I bull by the ring in hiB nose and used
a. stick on him. He suffered three
broken ribs and one was shattered
over his heart. He was hurried to
