Actual results obtained by farmers of the state and methods employed in carrying out farm operations will be featured in the educational exhibit of the Extension Service of Clemson ('allege at the State Fair this year. This exhibit, based on demonsLialions in various phases of progressive farming, indicates it is not only a question of what is grown but also how and under what conditions it is grown and sold or used that spell* profit or loss, says I). \V. Wutkins, assistant director, who is supervising the making of the exhibit. Efficiency methods in production and selling arc the lessons which it is sought to promulgate. "Already," Mr. VVatkins continues, "the state has made enormous strides in these matters, strides which are frequently overlooked under tho stress brought about by bad weather conditions that have prevailed to such an ui.usual extent for several yearpast. These farmers whose work will be set forth in this exhibit have already realized a truth which the ran J: and file must soon understand; namely, that every crop now grown successfully is being produced by a man who has specialized in that crop. He may grow more than one crop but has studied each so carefully that he becomes a specialist in its require ments. Fairs are educational opportunities, Mr. Watkins thinks. "Many people attend fairs for pleasure and social reasons, which is one of the good reasons for having fairs. But it is a great mistake for people to use the entire occasion for these purposes, letting the opportunity ' to learn ' Something more about their business slip by. In this particular exhibit at the State Fair there will be an unusual opportunity to get the benefit of teachings of the various divisions at Clemson on such subjects as crops, horticulture, crop pests, livestock, dairying, poultry, marketing, and farm machinery," Officer Shoots Father and Son. Chester, October 13.?Chalmers H. Gaston, 50, well known farmer of Chester county, and his son, James Gaston, 22, were in a serious condition late tonight at the Pryor Memorial hospital, where they are suffering from pistol'wounds, said to have been incurred when Constable Sam Dove fired at them tonight in the Wilkesburg section. The Gastons are said to have been assisting in getting a wrecked car to Lockhart when the constable walked up to them and asked to search their persons. According to J. W. Love, of Chester, Mr. Gaston cursed ?he officer and pushed him away, and at that time the latter flred, emptying all six chambers of his revolver. The father is wounded in the face and the son in the abdomen. Small Town Banker Getn Long Prison Term New York, Oct, 10.?An elderly small town banker who came out of the west with a scheme thjit cauaed six of New York's biggeat banks to turn over $500,Q00 to his credit, plcuded guilty today to mail fraud, but insisted that he was a Robin Hood of high finance, rather than an ordU nary criminal. The man was Charles I)elos Waggoner, president of the Bank of Tulluride, of Telluride, Colo., and before sentence of 15 years in Atlanta penitentiary wus imposed, he told the judge before whom he entered his plea, just how he thouffht his fraud should be looked on. "I was under a moral obligation, to commit crime," he said. "It was a matter of duty. The people of Telluride were largely dependent oh that hank.. It was a master of protecting depositors, persons of Telluride whonr) I knew and whom I did not want to suffer." United States attorney Charles H. Tii(tie, however, said that his investigation had shown that Waggoner long had been looting his own bank and lie thought at last that the day ,,f reckoning was upon him he concocted the half-million-dollar coup in the hope that he could cover up his earlier misdeeds. "The only reason why the Bank of Telluride went under," Tuttle said, "was the same that caused the private hank of the Clarke Brothers in this city to go to the wall a few months ago. It had been scuttled from the inside. Federal .Judge Frank Coleman imposed sentences of live years each for three counts in the indictment, the sentence to run concurrently and five years for the remaining three counts, that time to run concurrently with the other, a total of 15 years tu serve in the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta. e> Waggoner had messages sent to six New York banks in bankers' code, signed with the signatures of six Denver banks authorizing' them to place in one Manhattan bank an aggregate of $500,000 to the credit of WaggoneF!* He then came east, walked* iuto the banks selected a* a depository, identified himself, and was given paper representing -the half million.

The compar.* gave figures showing its inve-tmerits in South Carolina and what the proposed changes would mean in additional revenue. Determined opposition to the proposed changes was 'manifested. Business firms, the state highway commission, chamber of commerce and numerous companies argued against any increases, the fight being led by State Senator Edgar A. Brown, Barnwell, former speaker of the house of representatives. The principal argument advanced was that the proposed increases would work a hardship on the average telephone patron.?Co* lumbia State, October 10. Will Have Mid-Way at Fair. Columbia, Oct. 10.?Secretary Paul V. Moore of the State Fair Association stated today that he was receiving many inquiries as to whether or not there would be a Midway at the State Fair'to be held October 2120. "This request is rather general" said the Secretary. "We beg to assure the public that there will be no dearth of amusements at the 1929 Fair. The Rubin and Cherry Model Shows will furnish all of the shows :ind rides. This is one of the foremost aggregations of its kinds in the United States. "The inquiry was perhaps occasioned by the order of the Governor that no wheels will be allowed to operate at any Fair in South Carolina. "The State Fair is cooperating heartily with the Governor. We desire to eliminate any flagrant gambling abuses of the past. There are, however, many concessionaires coming, who will operate within the law. We can assure the public that from the advance sales already in hand, the public will have a real Midway with no wheels and without buy-backs or money-premiums." The strike of 2,000 union market truck drivers in New York was brought to an end last Tuesday night with an increase in pay of $5 per week. The strike cost the handlers of fruits and vegetables several hundred thousand dollars. Honor Roll for Midway.
