Antioch Farmers
Attend Meetings
A good number of evening class |
farmers and part-time farthers nt- j
tended the poultry meeting at An- |
tioch Thursday night. The subject I
discussed and studied was feeding i
laying hens. Dutu on the subject
from Kentucky agricultural experiment
station and from Purdue university
was studied carefully. From !
these results the farmers found that ;
all the feeds required for egg pro- !
duction can be produced on the farm
at a tremendous annual saving over
commercial feeds. The following at
tended the meeting: Luther Bute,
Kurman Pate, Barney Stokes, Mr.
and Mrs. 1). G. Joyo, Jim Holland,
Luke Davis, B. S. Stevens, Sumpter
A mints, Eugene Pute, DuBose Davis,

On Wednesday the Antioeh vocational
boye joined the other county
agriculture boys at the South CaroJthu
experiment station for the purpose
of learning now tilings about
farming. Mr. Riley, the superintendent
of the station, led them around and
explained everything in detail. A
noticeable thing at the station was
the use of ail kinds of legume crops j
used for soil improvement. Practically
every field has hud some kind
of legume planted in it for soil improvement.
An interesting crop is
crotalaria, a legume for soil improvement
and also for feeding. There
are several different types or varieties
of erotalnria growing side by
side. Then soybeans and velvet
beans are grown abundantly. Ex- ]
peri men ts with different fertilizers
for cotton are interesting including
the use of opaom saltB as a fertilizer.
The dairy, the'herd of Guernsey cattle
and the wonderful pasture and
grasses are interesting.
Those making the trip to the experiment
station were L. A. Shiver,
I). W. Traxler, Tom Johnson, DuBose
Davis. Lacy Galloway, Clyde Dority,
Williard Johnson, Donald Davis, R.

Alleged Slayers Of
James Are Returned
Bennettsville, Sept. 23,?Two negroes
were returned here this afternoon
from Georgia and remanded for
trial on charges in connection with
the .slaying?of- ^Jobn?L,?James, o?
Laurinburg, N. C., near here the
night of September 7.
The negroes are Hilton Williams,
charged with the murder, and Tom
Newton, charged with being an accessory,
were arrested in Mount
Vernon, Ga.
On their arrival here they were
taken before Judge VV. H. Grimbail,
who remanded them for trial, probably
at the February term of court.

on the Bennettsville-Cheraw

Hill.
A metal lung Sunday afforded Miss
Frances McGaan another day of life
?the ninth since her chest muscles
became paralyzed and she was placed
in a mechanical respirator at a hospital
in C hicago. 111. When nature
failed nine days ago in a swift attack
of infantile paralysis, science was
called upon to save the young woman
s life. She was placed in ar
aluminum cabinet that encased hei
body from neck to foot. An electrically
operated pump alternately
created air pressure and vactiun
within the compartment, forcing th<
girl s lungs to function and gradu
aU.Y compelling helpless chest mns
cles to return to normalcy. The doc
tors believe that unless some unfor
seen complication occurs that withi:
the next few days the girl will b<
restored to natural breathing.
