May 23.?Reese Bailey, who escajH?il trial in South Carolina for murder of A..B, Hunt, (ireenville policeman, by hubeaa corpus proceeding*, today waa under a sentence of seven to ten year* in the state prison for highway robbory. A Buncombe county jury convicted him of holding up Jack Green, rural policeman, last April 2, and taking the officer's pistol. Bailey gave notice of appeal to the supreme court. Greenville officers charged Bailey was one of a gang of gunmen who killed Hunt and a warrant charging him with murder was sworn out there, but Judge 11. Hoyle Sink after a habeas corpus hearing refused to allow him to bo taken to Greenville, ruling there was not sufficient evi4ynce to link him with the killing. Representative Vinson, of Georgia, has introduced a resolution in congress by the terms of which the farm board would be directed to impound the 1,300,000 bales of cotton which it holds or controls until such time as tho season's total supply falls below the average of the preceding ten years. He believes this would not bo for two or three years. When William Turner, 23, was sentenced by a New York judge to die in the electric chair for a murder in a speak-easy, he appeared to think it a joke. "Imagine my embarassment, he observed with a wink when sentence was pronounced.

EYES EXAMINED 4 Glutei Pitted THE IMFITO CWIFAMY THOMAS 1) AX TICK McCEAIN rr* ' % (From Friday's Yorkvillo Enquirer) The earthly remains of Thomas Baxter MoClain, native of Yorkvijle, hut for the past thirty years a resident of Camden, were brought buck to Yorkville yesterday afternoon and tenderly-laid away close by the giaves of live of his children who had in years agono preceded him to the grave, while a group of friends looked on. Mr. McClain died at his home in Camden on Wednesday about noon, following a decline in health of scveraUyears, death being due to a complication of troubles, following a suspension of bin work in the office of County Treasurer llogue of only a few weeks. At the time of his death he was aged 74 years, J.1 months and 6 days. Mr. -McClain was, born in Yorkville on June 13, 1857, and lived here until about 30 years ago when he moved to Camden. He was prominent in the business affairs of Yorkvillo for many years. Ho was u hard worker, careful, thrifty and energetic. For yearH ho conducted a general merchandise store on South Main street, later engaging in the business of a photographer. Hut being a man of wonderful energy and .business capacity he engaged in other business ventures, among them being the muking of brick. A little later he took over the business of the Carolina Buggy company and conducted that enterprise for a year or two and still later, about 1900, converted the buggy factory business into a cotton mill. This venture proved to he unsuccessful and he lost much of what he had built up. He moved his family to Camden in the early 1900's and established the first telephone exchange in that city, and since that time has engaged in various business ventures and enterprises with more or less success. For the past four years he has been assistant to the county treasurer of Kershaw county,Mr. S. W. Hogue, and because of his efficiency in that work and his courtesy and spirit of accommodation to people having business with the tretasurer's office he won and held the esteem and confidence of all with whom he came in contact. When a resident of Yorkville Mr. McClain was. a member of the First Presbyterian church, and served for a number of years as a deacon. He was regarded as one of the church's most loyal members, ever ready to do anything and everything that would tend to make his church stronger. He was a charitable, kind and generous Christian gentleman, and was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends in and around Yorkville. Funeral services were at his late residence in Camden yesterday morning. conducted by the pastor of Bothesda Presbyterian church which he had served for many years as a ruling elder. Following, the services at the home his remains were brought to Yorkville for interment, being accompanied by Mrs. McClain and a large number of friends and acquaintances of Camden. The services at the grave m Hose Hill were conducted by Dr. W. \V. Harrison, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Pallbearers included: Messrs. Joseph Nelson, William Nelson. M. H. Heyman. D. H. Baum. W. C. Moore and S. W. Hogue. Honorary pallbearers were the officers of the church. Accompanying the remains from Camden were Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Riehey, Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Funderburk, Miss Elizabeth Price and others. Mr. McClain was married January 14th, 1880, to Miss Nancy Massina McClain, who survives him.

Woman Crosses Atlantic Alone * ? . Culm ore, Ulster, Ireland, May 21. ?Amelia Karhart Putnam brought down her red and gold monoplane in a field on the Donegal aide of Louj$h Foyle this afternoon and thereby became the first woman ever to fly the Atlantic alone. I She landed on this aide of the ocean five years to the day after Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh arrived at Le BoUrget, France,' successfully completing the first solo flight across the i Atlantic. "I've done it!" Mrs/'Putnam exclaimed when she got out of her ship. She had intended to go to Paris but it fcas necessary to cut the flight short because her exhaust manifold had burner! out and the gasoline gauge was broken, causing a u little leakuge. The lithe blonde flier, who took off from Harbor Grace, New Poundlahd, at 4:51 P. M., E. S. T. yesterday got a lift iby motor to dxmdonberry, five miles away, where the first thing she did was to get on the telephone and to report her success to London in order that her husband, George Putnam, New York publisher, and her friends back home might know that she was safe. It was U:30 p. m. (8:30 a. m. E? h. T.) when Mrs. Putnam landed herp. Sho had made the trip of 2,026.5 miles in fifteen hours and thirty-nine minutes. All Britain and France had been waiting eagerly' for news of her, special interest centering on the fact that today was the fifth anniversary of the flight of Colonel Lindbergh, to whom attention had been directed anew by the tragic death of his child. When Mrs. Putnam had reported that she was safe, she got into an automobile and left Londonberry for an unannounced destination. The difficulty with the exhaust manifold and with the gasoline gauge developed about four hours out of Harbor Gracfe, Mrs. Putnam said, but she decided to stick to it rather than turn back. There was hardly any gasoline left in the tank when she landed. "About four hours after leaving New Foundland," she explained, "I noticed flames from the exhaust and became very uneasy, but it would have taken four hours to get back arid I thought it safer to go ahead." Her plane was not damaged in landing and she was unhurt. "For a lot of the way," Mrs. Putnam said, "I was flying through storms?mist, rain and a little fog. "To my friends in New York I want to send this message: I am very glad to have come across successfully, but I am sorry indeed I did not make France. "I am going to speak to my husband as soon as I can by the Atlantic phone." It was the flier's second airplane trip across the Atlantic. Back in June, 1928, .before her marriage to Mr. Putnam, she made the crossing that time as a passenger. "There is no comparison," she said in reply to a question about which trip she liked better. "On this go I was flying low the whole time and had to rely on myself. "I am afraid I am a bit deaf after the terrible roar of the engine in my ears all the time, but at any rate I have done it." Dr. Royal Pinney, wealthy retired physician of New Haven, Conn., reported to the police there on Saturday that two men had abducted Miss Agnes O'Neill, his companion in an automobile ride the night before, after heating him severely The doctor's car was used to carry off the young woman. Four hank robbers who held up a hank at Ipswich. S. D., on Wednesday, shot the president and kidnapped the eashier, and got away with $21,000, were arrested Friday after an automobile accident ir* St. Cloud, M:nn.

Harvey Ogden, chief test pilot of the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor company, was killed Friday in the crash of an army plane he was piloting near Bowmansville, N. Y. The revised estimate by the census department of the 1931 cotton crop places the production at 17,096,000 bate? of 500 pound# frees weight. The 1930 crop was 13,932,000 500pound bales. Chicken Pox Virus Will Protect Layers # 11 Clemnon College. May 21.?Virus vitcination is recommended for chicken pox, sometimes called sorehead, one of the most prevalent poultry diseases in the state, by P. H, Gooding, extension poultryman. This virus vaccination, which produces a mild case of chicken pox, has been used in some states with good results in recent years, and was used successfully by several poultry men in this state last year to prevent chicken pox, which had been giving them trouble every fall for several years. iChicken pox attacks flocks during" the fall and winter months causing] some loss from death, but a greatei loss in egg production and profits j during the high-priced egg season; and Mr. Gooding suggests, therefore, that pullets -be vaccinated between two and four months of age, so that they may go through the laying season free from colds or chicken pox. The immunity usually lasts the life of the bird. Only birds in , good health should bo vaccinated*', and if the flock is infested with parasites, this trouble should be corrected flrst and the birds put in good health before the vaccination, he advises. It is not advisable, the specialist thinks, to vaccinate where chicken pox has never developed. However, if this trouble occurs every fall, the premises are infested and it is not practicable to prevent the disease without vaccinatiflg. The entire flock of pullets should be included in the treatment, though as a rule old hens are not bothered with the disease and it would not be worth while to vaccinate them. Feed Weanling Pigs To Make Rapid Gain Clcmson College, May 21.?'Pigs properly fed should be ready for market when six to seven months old, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the Animal Husbandry ^Division, who advises that proper feeding and management at weaning time will do much to get the porkers started on their way without a setback or stunting period. "It is generally conceded," states Prof. Starkey as to management of young pig?, "that it is a better policy to take the sows away from the pigs than to remove the pigs to new and strange quarters. This will depend somewhat on the supply and kind of feed which is available at each place. If the new quarters are free from stomach worms and have an abundant supply of fresh green foliage, shade and water, it may be best to allow the weanling pigs this territory." As to the rations Prof. Starkey suggests that "if pigs have access to forage an excellent ration is onehalf gallon of skimmilk or buttermilk and all the corn they will eat; or if they do not have forage one gallon of skimmilk or buttermilk and a full feed of corn will give good results. K "Another satisfactory ration is corn full-fed^plus a protein supplement consisting of equal parts of cottonseed meal and fish meal. This supplement may be full fed in dry lot at the rate of 1 to 15 or 20 on forage. Still another good ration for these pigs is corn and fish meal fed free-choice." Simmons in Bankruptcy Newbern, N. C., May 20.?A voluntary petition in bankruptcy was filed here today by Furnifold M. Simmons, who retired two years ago from the United States senate after serving there 30 years.
