Pickens Farmer Feels
Penalty of New Law
The full meaning of the Jones
prohibition enforcement law, which
was recently ratified by the United
Mates senate, was brought home to
Andersonfvn* yesterday afternoon
when W. E. Sissoh, 60, well known
Pickens county farmer, plead guilty
in federal court here of violating the
prohibition law and was sentenced by
Judge H. H. Watkins, presiding, to
five years in the federal penitentiary
in Atlanta and to pay a fine of $200.
Mr. Siason sold a pint of apple
brandy to a federal agent.
Several representative citiiens of
Pickens county, including a magistrate
and an ex-deputy sheriff, appeared
in Mr. SLsson's behalf and told
the court that the defendant was an
honest hard working farmer and thai
with the exception of selling a little
peach or apple brandy every now and
then, he was law abiding and u good
neighbor. It was recalled by Judge
Watkins, however, that some five
years ago Mr. Sisson was found
guilty in his court of violating the
Volstead act, and that' the sentence
had been relatively light. So being
a second offender, the defendant ran
amuck of the Jones law which is
aihied to check habitual prohibition
law violators, and was, therefore, in
no position to be shown mercy by
the court.
When Sentence was . pronounced
Sisson seemed dumbfounded. He
mumbled out something about not
being abje to ( pay the $200 and
stumbled out of the courtroom. He
i$ said to have told friends that he
expected to get off with two or three
months and a light fine. Sisspn has
a .wife and two children and is reputed
to be worth between $25,000
and $30,000. He lives between
Pickens and Easley.
Judge Watkins stated that all
second offenders could expect to get
the Jones law thumbscrew. The law
provides that a federal judge can
sentence prohibition law violators to
serve from one to ten years time or
pay a fine of $100 to $10,000 or both,
depending on the status of the offense
and the reputation of the defendant.
On the same day, F. A. Keisler
pleaded guilty to violating the pro-hibition
law and was sentenced to
serve three months in the Newberry
jail or pay a fine of $200.?Anderson
Independent, May 29.
Orders Removal of Tobacco
Ridgeland, May 30.?C. C. Kennerly
is deputy sheriff of Jasper county but
that didn't put him above being called
down by Judge J. Henry Johnson
yesterday.
Mr. Kennerly has a great weakness
for chewing tobacco and he felt he
couldn't part with his quid even while
testifying on an important case in
I criminal court. He tried to chew and
jtalk at the same time and that got
on the judge's nerves, so he suggested
that if the deputy would remove
the delectable morsel from his mouth,
he might be able to enunciate more
clearly.
The deputy adopted the suggestion
without hesitation,
Negro Lynched in Tennessee
Alamo, Tenn., May 29.?A mob of
about 100 men early today entered
the Crockett county jail here, removed
Joe Boxley 19-year-old negro
accused of attacking the wife of a
justice of the peace, and hanged him
'on a, tree four miles from town.
The negTO was taken from jail
about 4 o'clock this morning and his
body was found shortly afterwards..
On the tree with the body was a
cardboard on which was written 'Let
this ? ? hang here until 4 p. m.
Thursday."

Ciemson College, June 1.?'Timely
better farming suggestions for June
are given, in a nut shell, by Clemaon
(College specialists.
Agronomy
Leave cotton thick in the drill as
un aid to early fruiting. Side dres-*
'cotton at chopping with readily avail-*
l able nitrogen. Cultivate" all crops
j often against grass and w$eds. When
corn is knee-high side-dress with
readily available nitrogen. Plant an
.abundance of soybeans, velvet beans,
'and oowpeas fojr feed and soil improvement.
I Horticulture
I After picking peaches, burn of
bury rotten peaches and trim out and
burn dead or cankered limbs. Pack
fruit in right kind of atractive package
and get better prices. Set tomato
plants deep to stand drought
much better. Secure Lookout Moun
tain Irish potatoes to plant in July,
and prepare your soil now to conserve
moisture. Spray tomatoes and
melons with Bordeaux mixture. Keep
the grape vines covered with Bordeaux
to prevent black rot. Plant
spare garden land in black-eyed peas
or. some other variety that can be
j used dry during winter. Order celery
plants for July delivery.
Entomology
Secure adequate dusting machinery
wind calcium arsenate for boll weevil
light. Watch for red spider on cot!ton,
destroy plants when first infested,
and if needed dust with sulphur
or spray with Hour paste. Examine
frequently bean fields in upper Piedmont
for Mexican bean beetle and
poison if necessary. Use Bordeaux!
arsenate spray for little black fleu
beetle on garden plants. Transfer
and requeen bees.
Livestock <a
Wean pigs at eight weeks. Castrate
pigs before ten weeks old.
Shade and fresh water will save feed
costs. Treat pigs for worms and if
possible put them on uninfected territory.
Use soybeans for grazing when
knee-high. Feed lambs grain in a
creep. Give ewes copper sulphate for
stomach worms every 30 days'.
Market lambs at four months, when
they should weigh 70 to 80 pounds.
Dairying
See that cows get enough to eat
to prevent a drop in the summer milk
flow. Produce milk clean, cool immediately,
and keep clean and cool.
Start clipping the pasture with the
miwing machine. Groom cows twice
daily to lessen fly annoyance and increase
production. Remove cows
from pastures' infested 'with bitter
weeds several hours before milking.
Feed heifers two pounds of
grain daily to keep them growing.
Poultry
Select the best cockerels for next
year's breeders. Keep feed and clean
water before growing stock, and use
clean range with some shade. Watch
chicks for worms, give treatments
and take preventative measures.
Keep laying mash before the hens;
I cull out non-layers." Plan to have
alfalfa for green feed.
Agricultural Engineering
Remove and store binder canvas
after grain harvest, and grease the
knotter. with cup grease. Keep the
twd-horse cultivator going. Use
sharp sweeps properly adjusted. Get
the bollweevil duster in good working
condition. Keep the mower in good
shape for cutting weeds and hay.

Murdered People
For Insurance Money
Macon, <?a., Juno 1? 'The mysterious
deaths of an unknown youth
and an ovcrater on a farm owne<i by
Mrs. J. Powers, tt?day occupied offt
cor# investigating the tangle of "insurance
murder plots" in which they
believe the 71-year-old rooming
housekeeper was involved.
Both men were believed to have ussigned
life insurance policies to Mrs.
Powers, who now is held with Karl
Manchester on a charge of slaying
James Parks for his $14,000 life insurance.
Park's body with two bullet wounds
in the head was found on tho river
front last Tuesday and Manchester,
21-yeur-old ^Canadian, confessed he
killed the youth for the $1,000 price
the aged widow offered for his life.
A confession by the woman later was
repudiated.
An insurance company informed
the police that Mrs. Powers had received
settlement on a life insurance
policy she held on a young man who
died in 1021 or 1022. An agent for
the company said he remembered
making the settlement which he
thought was $f>,000 but hud forgotten
the name of the man.
Simultaneously attention of the
authorities was directed to the death
of Sam Wright, the farm overseer
several years ago. The officers said
the undertaker in the case told them
Wright, who died unexpectedly, hud
been insured for $2,000 with Mrs.
Powers listed as beneficiary.
< Sheriff James R. Hicks, Jr., said
a man had informed him through a
letter that he was coming to Macon
today to, te|l the story of a "different
kind of plot" the rooming house keeper
tried on him.
William R. Pharr, cotton man of
Memphis, was convicted in the
Federal court at Memphis, Tuesday,
of aiding and abetting J. Ramsey
Reauchump, former vice president of
the Old Union and Planters Bank and
Trust company in the misapplication
of $600,000 of the bank's funds.

Dairyman Makes Profits
, by Cutting Delivery Costs J
Puritan Dairy Changes Brant
of Motor Oil and Makes Big
Savings In Truck Operation
Test run shows 42.2% Increase
in Gasoline Mileage
Whenever owners of motor cars get together
and start claiming mileage records, the only
way to prove or disprove any statement is to
make a supervised test. Such tests are difficult
to arrange and supervise. Few motorists
have the time to spare.
But the Puritan Dairy of Red Bank, Mew
Jersey, wished to. use the best oil on the
market for their delivery trucks. Mo use to
waste hard-earned profits on poorly lubricated
equipment. No reason for keeping
trucks needed to make their appointed rounds
in the repair shop because of worn-out bearings.
So a practical test, to be made while one
of the trucks performed its regular work,
was arranged by company officials.
Details of Test
The crank case of a sturdy G. M. C. truck
was drained, Hushed and refilled with "Z"
br^nd of oil?nine quarts all told. The gasoline
tank was filled with "Standard" (iasoline.
In eight days of running, over a regular route,
572.miles were covered* eleven quarts of "Z"
oil were used (nine had been added after the
first day of driving). and:8Qgallons of "Standard"
Gasoline were consumed. j
Drained, flushed and refilled with "Standard"
Motor Oil and "Standard" Gasoline, the
truck started on its rounds again. The same
route was followed. Another eight days
passed. Somehow 680 miles were clocked on
the; speedometer this time. But only 67 galloflL-ofc^'Standard"
Gasoline Had been used

An ihetpue in gasoline mileageof42.2 percent.
Truck operated by Lcc McGuire in which
the test was made .
No motor oil was added after the first day.
Yet 8 quarts of "Standard" Motor Oil remained
in the crank case.
Tested in a laboratory, brand "Z" showed .. 1
extreme dilution. "Standard" Motor Oil,
however, was. comparatively., fresh?still a?
"good lubricant."
Gar "Handled" Easier
"And the car," said Lee McGuire, the driver,
"was* easier to staft and worked better all
along, with 'Standard' Motor Oil."'
Everywhere, this oilier oiV?"Standard"?is
pleasing millions of motorists as well as
truck operators who appreciate how a richer
