Local Dealer Returns
From Trip to Factory
W. O. 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. The
special was made up of dealers from
the sett the* t? tern states. While ht
the factory Mr. Hay met Ben P. DeLoache
and Arthur Harris DeLoache,
two Camden boys now working in the
huge factory.
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."

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.

Many People of State
Not Eating Vegetables
lUrttville, July 21.?In a statement
given out today David K. 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."

Gaffuey, July 10.--A lawauit under <
way in a magistrate's court hero came *
to an abrupt end for the time being 1
whan the defendant undergoing 1
cross-examination on the stand struck i
the attorney for the plaintiff over the <
head with a heavy office lodger, and '

with the intention , of administering i

He admits owing $7, but denies any 1
greater amount. G. Wf Speer, well i
l known Qaffney lawyer, is attorney for i
Mrs. Monroe. Both men have been 1
known to fight under provocation.. <
As Mr. Jefferies was on the stand '
yesterday afternoon he, understood
Specr to comment, "You'ft u liar" on
the response he made to on# Of the
attorney's questions. Without hesita- <
tion he raised the heavy lodger from
his lap and with the full force of
both l}ands brought the book down
across the top of Mr. Spier's head. '

Reasons for New Money i

The secret service has just disclosed
another good reason for changing
the size of the bills. There are now 1
