invented for the s#me purpose that
wire screening, swatters and insccvp
cities were?that of keeping the en ^
emy "on the outside a lookin in,
and not on the inside making trouble.
Screens of the right mesh, the
right width for- economical cutting,
and right prices for everybody are on
band at Hums and Barrett s big hardware
store.
All porches, doors, windows and
such should be examined and repaired.
New screening meaw protection from
insects and tramps. ^
Insecticides will clear a room of
flies or mosquitoes in as much time
as it takes you to spray it about, and
a swatter in each room brings the
fly question down to zero.
. Extra reinforcing wire, locks, bolts,
catches and hooks and eyes on all
downstairs doors and windows will
protect your home while you are
away for a summer in the mountains
or a night in ^ Land of Nod.
Sometimes, however, you just wish
a burglar or a regiment of flies
would swoop in and carry on all the
food in the house, it tastes so same?
and flat. _
That's the time get a new
double boiler in which to make the
lemon part of lemon pie, and a little
brown dish to bake crab-meat, onion,
egg and bread-crumbs with a little
bacon grease so every crumb can be
scraped out.
Mackey Hardware Company has
these, and both oil and electric stoves
you can carry out to the back porch
and set on a table on hot days.
On their bargain tables you find
tiny ice-picks, big gljiss fruit juicers,
extra batteries for the flashlight,
glass knobs for furniture, fruit jar.',
tunnels with handles and other small
but useful things that you are awfully
glad you remembered, to get.
, All kidnapable babies, and all those
! blessed by obscurity could have no
better protection than a faithful dog.
A good dog minds his own .business
and yours, barks only when he knows
an alarm ought to bo turned in, and
is afraid of hothing on this earth, I
except his master's disapproval.
If every yard had a fence around
it and a dog in it, there would be a
scarcity of petty crime rivalling that
of hen's teeth.
Prowlers are naturally afraid of a
barking dog. He may be toothless?
but he is giving a warning.
People could raise and keep dogs
for many years if they would feed
them the right kind of food. The
I Gaines Food people know this, and
put up a food that ensures a long and
healthy lift; to your pet. Sold by

| KING OF HELL HOLE SWAMP
Attempt to Assassinate Him Fails But
Car Is Riddled by Many Shots
Moncks Corner, April 21.?An attempt
was made yesterday to assassinate
Glenn D. McKnight, the King of
Hell Hole Swamp, when a half dozen
j ambushcrs riddled his automobile with
i lead from rifles and shotguns, but the
I only injury to McKnight was a graz!
ing <?f one arm by a bullet. He raced i
into this eounty seat to report the attack.
and a search for his attackers
began at once.
lie said he was on his way from his
I home in Moncks Corner to his store
at lluger about lb miles distant. At
'Alligator bridge, about half way to:
i lluger, he said, nn armed man
stepped into the road.
McKnight said he expected trouble
and sped up his car. Just as he did,'
six other men appeared, he said, and
began firing.
He left the place at top speed, he
said, only one bullet striking him. It
inflicted a flesh wound in the left
[arm.
When McKnight reached here, citizens
counted 10 buckshot holes and
three rifle bullet holes in his car.
j Thirteen of the buckshot went through
the windshield. Several buckshot went
through the hood of the machine.
Alligator bridge is in the midst of
the "Hell Hole Swamp" region.
Sheriff C. P. Ballentine, of Berkeley
county, and his deputies, were accompanied
by rural policemen from
I Orangeburg and Charleston in the
search. Bloodhounds were brought
from Orangeburg to aid in the quest
j fai the aiiegeu amDushers.
! McKnight has been an outstanding
i figure in Berkeley county for years.
He was seriously wounded in the
summer of 1930 when he was shot at
f i 111 ambush as he walked from his
garage.
Later, when State Senator F.. J.
. l)ci."f Berkeley county. was -hot

When the police of Newark. N J
arrested Tony Misiak for peddling
pencils on the city streets without a
; license, they found hidden ir. his
j clothes a total of $32,917. Tony started
out to celebrate because his wife
( had left him three months before.
1 and to help him celebrate he bought
a bottle of liquor and this led the officer*
to question him as to his license.
The arrest followed and then
th? search disclosed the wads' tjf
money hidden in his clothes, including
26 $1,000 bills and 79 $100 bills.

LURRY
L I A
It isn't gossip, scandal or oven
slander that makes women suddenly
go into a huddle and discuss something
in hushed, awed tones. It's a
new dessert being rehearsed and memorized.
A small box of marrfhmallows, over
which is poured a cup of strong hot
coffee. Left till melted and cool,
then rather stirred and put in the
ice-box, When chilled, a v cup of
cream whipped and beaten into it,
then put bacK in t'he ice-box, and the
Prince of Wales invited to supper.
Chopped nuts, cherries and more
whipped cream on top, and he will
want to board with you till the cows
come home.
He will know that when the cows
come home that means more whipped
cream, and so on till marshmallows
are no more.
Judging from the wuy clover is
filling the vacant lots this year, the
whole world can have cream. It isn't
high like it used to be^?and it
takes a mighty little to whip up to
a quantity. It is delicious on black
coffee, but if you serve it with coffee,
serve plain cream along with it,
for those who. like cream in theirs
and not just on top.
Another nice dessert is made witji
a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, a
layer of raspberry, strawberry or
pineapple jam, topped with whipped
cream in which a little powdered sugar
and plenty of chopped nuts are
mixed.
PeAns are cheaper this year than
ever before?and 'they are grand
things to dress up a dessert, a salad,
for sandwich mixtures and roasted by
the handful, to serve with roast chicken.
* *
Plant a few young trees around
your home, keep a 'hole near one of
them in which you put all the household
trash?cans, papers, garbage,
etc., and leave the hose trickling near
each one inN turn, and soon you'll be
in the midst of a large impenetrable
forest.^ ?
. Trash, chips, leaves and best of all
leaf mold make all plants grow. They
break the hard soil, afford mulching
qualities, moisture holding propensities
and catch the rainfall, besides the
leaves being full of fertilizer.
French people set out their garden
plants in a deep litter of strawy,
leafy compost, and don't know what
it is to have wefcds and grass. They
j get quick-growing, juicy vegetables,
one crop on another. .J
A little 8-4-4 or 7-5-^5 (?) added
will do wonders to make things look
like something out of a catalogue
' but he sure and get the right proportioned
fertilizer for the right
place, or else your garden will tell
you, "Wrong number!"
An example of things. that growl
from their own fertilizing is a forest,
and weeds, and that lovable snowy
bush the blackberry, thpt makes the
whole country sweet just about now.
I "Here we don't go 'round the blackberry
bush" because it has such rank
roots and briars?but we do snip off
la few stems for flowers, and come
j hack later for the fruit. First come
the sprawly dewberries; best and rarest
are the huge sweet swamp
berries; but for everyday use, we like
just ordinary blackberries sold at the
doorstep a'bout five in the ,a. m.s
That's what all the little empty
glasses on the top shelf are waiting
for right now. And at the same time
! under the closet under the stairs are
l some smelly old bottles and jugs.
I They are old, and sad. They
so many memories of the sweet old
(lays when they "worked."
I Anyway?sugar . is cheap and
I there's no law against making vine|gar?if
you like sour things.?J. B. T.
Little Local Lines
There is really no "depression" in
Camden but it is about the smallest
boom we have had lately, as evidence
watch the new cars on the street.
Our Police boys were certainly on
the job this week; they are just about
to fill up Jailor Arledge's hotel.
More than sixty-flve houses have
been built in Camden north of Chesnut
street in that section which was
known as Kirkwood, during the last
twenty-five years and not more than
two or three ar? unoccupied at present.

not to remove Sheriff John C.
Greer, as the g?*nd jury presentment

; r.o justifiable cause to remove the
>heriff, especially as the Union county
delegation had also gone on record
i as wishing the removal proceedings
dropped. But the governor^ admonished
the sheriff that any future complaints
will bring to mind the present
proceedings. The sheriff waa charged
originally with habitual drunkenness
and immorality.
