Hay, Camden dealer in Atwater Kent radio*, returned Wednea- ( day from an interesting and instructive trip to Philadelphia where he visited the Atwater Kent factory. Mr. Hay joined nineteen other South Carolina dealers in Columbia where they boarded a special train consisting of eleven Pullmans, two diners and an " observation coach.

In speaking of his trip to a Ohron, icle man Mr. Hay says; "I can truthfully say that whatever expectations I entertained?and they were great expectations?prior to my recent tour through the Atwater Kept radio factory in Philadelphia, were immensely overshadowed by the actual event itself. Never in my life have the amazing magnitude and efficiency of modern manufacturing method? struck me half so forcibly, From tho time I walked through the imposing entrance, with its beautifully kept *lawn and trimmed hedges and shrubbery until the time, hours later, when I had completed my tour of the ? world's largest radio factory, I was ^ constantly greeted by ? wonder after wonder?things fascinating and almost incredible to the average lay mind?-but merely one more day's work in the ltyes of the men who huve made the name of Atwater Kent famous throughout the world. The two large brick and stone buildings, comprising^the main plant, are mammoth?breath-taking in their vast expanses. They cover 32 acres of floor space in all and are the latest word in modern, improved industrial architecture. Together they form the the world, as well as one of the largest industrial institutions."

Th ; negress is in Jail charged with nrui Laurent Farmer It Charged Wife Murder ? ? '*7. Laurens, July 23.?Charged with the murder of his wife, Anna Tumb lin Bolt, 44, Lawrence Bolt, 47. was | arretted and committed to jail this afternoon by Sheriff Columbut L. Owens, George L. Mdgeway, rural | policeman, and agent from the governors office, who has been working on the case with local officers for several weeks, Bolt was arretted on a warrant written by Solicitor Homer S. Black well, and was issued by Magistrate Chas. W. McCravy, of Laurens, bn ait affidavit sworn to by De tective L. C. Johnson, The warrant charges "felonious murder" and it is understood that affidavits in support of the action of the officers have been secured and will be used in subsequent proceedings before the grand jury and the trial itself provided a true bill be fottnfi. Bolt was arrested at the home of bis mother, Mrs. Josephine Bolt, who lives near the city on 'the Lauren*Princeton road. The warrant was served by Officer Ridgeway and Bolt made no comment only to say "all right." The wife of the accused died Monday morning, June 24, ftt b?>" homo in the Hickory Tavern section, from a pistol wound in her 4eft breast. Bolt told some of the neighbors that his wife had shot herself and later made the same statement before the coroner's jury. He explained in some detail how his wife had become excited and nervous at the breakfast table, finally telling him, he said, that she wished he would leave, that she did not want to see him again. He left the table, he said, before finishing the meal, walked through the house and had proceeded out in the yayd about twenty steps when he heard the report of a shot his wife sink to the floor on the front porch. Rushing back he said his wife feebly exclaimed: "I told you I would do this." He then notified neighbors, one of whom assisted in carrying the woman to her bedroom. She is said to have gasped once or twice after some of the residents living nearby reached the house. The suicide theory was doubted froipf the first, as it would have been extremely difficult for Mrs. Bolt to have shot herSelf in the manner indicated by the range of the bullet, and the powder burns it is said showed that the "Weapon was not held against her body, but probably close enough to produce the character of wound found in her chest. That there had been domestic trouble in the Bolt home for sometime previous to the tragic death of his wife, was known to neighbors. According to statements that havt 1 been made in connection with the case. Bolt is a farmer and owns a small farm in the Hickory Tavern communjity, twelve miles west of Laurens. He moved from his home after the death of his wife and later came to his mother's, where he has been under treatment of his physician for several days. It is not known tonight whether a preliminary hearing will be asked or if any steps for obtaining bail for the accused are to be taken now or later. General News.

Coker of Hartsvill*, recently elected chairman of tha Darlington County Natural Resource* commission under the plan* now in process of organising every county in the state, said the campaign now being waged by the South Carolina Natural Resources c<umraUsion is a campaign to educate o? own people and through them to educate the country at large in the importance of using fresh vegetables and dairy products, containing the proper mineral element* to insure health. "A very large proportion of our own people are not themselves using sufficient quantities of home produced natural products and I consider the education of our people in the principles of nutrition as a most important part of this campaign. No section of the world has a longer list forage crops that can be raised to forage crops that can be haised to perfection with proper culture and fertilization than in our own state and yet a considerable proportion of our people are undernourished and pellagra and other diseases due to undernourishment or to an unbalanced diet are prevalent to an alarming extent. "I hope everyone connected with this campaign will realize that its principal purpose is the education of all the people here and elsewhere ir. the principles of nutrition and "the teaching of our own people how and what to produce for local consumption and for sale elsewhere."
