Contest Circular
Heady For Farmers
* **
Clamaon College, March 22. A
total of 408 farmers representing 45
of the 48 counties of South Carolina
entered the corn contest last
spring, 270 of which completed and
submitted records on their five-acre
J?lots, says 8. L. Jeffords, extension
1St' in Extension Circular
102, Ihe Corn Contest?1020" which
was recently published. A summary
of the 270 records shows that the
average five acre corn plot produced
^'7 bushels at a total cost of
$110.50 and a total profit of $154.21.
or $20.58 per acre.
, That the average farmer in /South
Carolina can produce corn economically
was shown by the results of the
1020 contest in which the contestant*
averaged 50.5 bushels per acre
ugaints a 14.5 bushel per acre average
in the .state for the period 1021
to 1028 inclusive. The 50.5 bushels,
valued at $52.51, were produced at
a cost of $22.12 per acre, leaving a
net profit of $20.58. The per bushel
cost of producing 50.S bushels of corn
per acre was $.40, leaving a profit
of $.57.
1 he contest was started in South
Carolina in the spring of 1929 to encourage
the farmers of the state to
grow more goo^ <jorn per acre at a
smaller cost per bushel, and the results
published in Extension Circular
102 show that this can be done. The
contest will be continued in 1930.

may obtain Extension Circular 102

Chose Firing Squad
.As Means of Death
Salt Lake City, March 20. The
firing squad at the Utah state prison
today faced another gruesome
task, the execution of Delbert Green,
21-year-old confessed slayer of his
wife, her mother, and her stepfather.
Green yesterday chose this method
of death when offered his choice of
oeath by shooting or hanging, in accordance
with state laws. He appeared
unmoved at the question and
selected the firing squad, as have
most of the approximately 30 prisoners
given such preference since the
passage of the legislation.
Execution was set for May 17 by
District Judge Eugene E. Pratt,
holding court at Fnrmington. Previously
the judge passed the death
sentence, which was mandatory, and
'ovey-ruled a motion for a new trial.
Green followed his wife to her
mother's home near Layton, Utah,
lust January and after she had refused
to return with him to their
home at Ogden, shot and killed her
and her mother as they lay in bed
with his infant child, and then killed
his father-in-law who also was
his uncle. The baby, together with
green's 9-year-old sister-in-law and
his aged grandmother, escaped.
lie submitted a defense of insanity
at this trial. '

a course of action relative to

a member of the Presbyterian synod's
permanent committee on education,
and W. G. Query, chairman of the
board of trustees of Chicora college,
showing that "the chamber of commerce,
although wishing to see the
college remain in Columbia, can only
coincide with the action of the synod
of South Carolina, should it adopt
the recommendation of its committee
and decide to move the college."

with Charleston the lowest 26.4.
New York's rate was 7.1, while Philadelphia's
rate per 100,000 is given

( Hester Hospital
Suffers Fire I^oss
Chester, March 22.?Twelve patients
in J*ryor Hospital here were
removed to safety without injury or
loss of life tonight when fire seriously
damaged the three-story structure.
The flames are believed to have
originated in the dumb waiter shaft,
supposedly from defective wiring.
The patients were brought from
the burning building lying on their
beds. Several were taken out of the
hospital through Windows when
smoke and flames bun yd passage
down the stairs.'
No official estimate of the 'damage
was given, but Mayor S. ?. Carter
estimated the loss at well above
$10,000. The top of the building was
burned away, und heavy damage was
done to other parts of the structure
by fire and water;
Hospital attaches and Chester citizens
assisted in bringing the patients
from the burining building. Those
most seriously ill were taken by the
Rev. Paul Pressly, 1). I)., Associate
Reformed Presbyterian minister here,
and Mrs. Pressly, to the manse opposite
the hospital. Others were carried
to nearby homes. After the first
excitement the patients regained
their composure, and several were
sufficiently calm to watch the burnng
building.
The fire was discovered shortly
before 10 o'clock and raged for more
than an hour before brouglfl. under
control by local firemen.
Kstimates as to the loss ran higher
than the $10,000 figure fixed by
Mayor "Carter when given by several
who had made a close examit.jition
of the damage.
The loss is partially covered by
( -ure.nee, Chester physicians say,
but the definite figure will have to
he given by Dr. Ralph H. McFad(b
n, of Charlotte, the sale trustee
of the building.
The hospital was built a little more
than 12 years ago by the late Dr.
S. \V. Pryor, who operated it as a
private institution. U-pon his death
the- building was taken over.' by the
Chester Medical Association. It is
now headed by Dr. Robert E. Able.
The building was constructed at a
cost of $125,000. Modern equipment
and fixtures in the building were
valued at- a large figure.

LINCOLN'S LAST AFTERNOON 1
I
H* mid lli? Wife Fn joyed Drive In
Which They Had Happy Chat
Although Abraham Lincoln and
Mary Todd Lincoln were not always
happy together, the afternoon before
the death of the Emancipator win
cue of the happiest they had enjoyed,
according to I)r. William E. Harton,
in Woman's Home Companion.
"Mrs. Lincoln exercised a beneficent
tyranny over him in dragging
h.m forth iu the fresh air," says the
uuthor. "Such a drive they had on
the lust day of his life and they built
air castles. They tulked about what
they would do at (he expiration of his
second term. They would go back
to Illinois and probably make Chicago
their home with a place in the coun- 1
try, perhaps in the Hock River district,
which he remembered from his
service in the Black Hawk war.
"But first they would travel. They
v/ould, cross the continent on the
Union Pacific Railway which Lincoln
hud so earnestly ndvoeuUul, and
would see the miners digging gold
in California to pay the national
debt. They would cross the ocean
and visit London, Puris and Jerusa- \
1cm. Those were the subjects they
ti.lked about on ,th.pt .last afternoon.
"That night came the assassin's I
bullet in the darjt. Mary Lincoln ,
was never quite a sane woman after J
that night."'
Adults Contract Children's
Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many j
children's diseases. And usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually i
associated with children. Sometimes <
they suffer intensely and take ox- |
pensive medical treatments, without '
realizing that worms arc the cause I
of their troubles. Yet, the symptoms j
are the same as in children, loss of
app"tite and weight, grinding the !
teeth and restless sleep, itching of j
the nose and anus, and abdominal
pains. And, the same medicine that
surely and harmlessly expels round
and pin worms from children will do
the same for adults?White's Cream

of the proximity of the flock
to human habitations a dog might
have been the killer.
