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

about it?"

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,

M:nn. Most of the stolen money was
!ecovered.

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."
