Winnie Ruth Judd To Die For Killings Phoenix, Ariz,., Dec. 12.?Winnie Ituth Judd, taciturn "^>londo tigress," must hang February 17, tor the trunk slaying of a former girl friend, the Aii/.ona supremu court ru^d today. It denied her a|>peal from a conviction of first degree murder. The hanging will take place at the state prison in Florence, where Mrs. Judd has been held since a jury of 12 men found her guilty of murdering Agnes Ann Leroi, Phoenix nurse. The decision dispelled Mrs. Judd's last hope of escaping the gallows, barring only intervention by 72-yearold Governor George W, P. Hunt, who * goes out of office January 1, or by his successor, Dr. Edward Moour. Although originally held on charges of slaying both Mrs. Leroi and Mrs. Hedv^g AouK'lson and shipping their partly dismembered bodies to Los Angeles hs luggage, Mrs. Judd was tried only on the one count. She' pleaded self-defense and insanity, but the prosecution charged she was motivated by jealousy. Met at Charlotte Thopmson The Charlotte Thopmson ParentTeachers Association held its regular meeting Wednesday evening, December 7 at the school house. A letter from our state president was read. In this letter she asked that the Association study the existing economic conditions in order to prevent an unneccessary curtailment of child welfare opportunities. A lively round table diseussimi of the tax question then followed which proved very interesting and instructive.. After the business meeting n short social hour followed during which a contest and several game* were enjoyed by the members. Thest created much fun and amusement The meeting was then adjourned. We hope the parents of the conv munity will have as one of their nev year resolutions "To attend all of th< Parent-Teachers Association meet ings during the coming year." Though he will bo out of office before the money becomes available President Hoover asked congress foi an added $0,1S0 for the White i!ous< expenses over the amount asked las: yea r.

Tl RKKYS SELLING LOW At Present Prices State's Big Turkey Crop Should Be Locally Consumed Columbia, Dec. 10.?The present South Carolina turkey crop is the largest ever produced in the state, states George E. Prince, chief of the extension service markets division, who says that last year the state produced seven carloads of turkeys for shipment out of the state and shippers realized 20 to 22 cents per pound. This year, he estimates, the state's production has been doubled, and with a large national production the price is considerably lower. Because of the low prices the consumption within the state should increase, for this is one year, Mr. Prince asserts, when South -Carolinians will have no excuse for not eating turkey meat which is now as cheap as many other meats. Mr. Prince is therefore urging housewives to include turkey in their menus not just once during the holidays but many times and is helping turkey raisers to sell locally rather than ship to hig market*. This is one year, he says, when housewives? can help the producers by buying South Carolina turkeys and make unnecessary the importing of thousands of pounds of dressed turkeys from other states. "Since most South Carolina turkeys are specially fed for market." Mr. Prince continues, ""they are of the highest quality and usually bring a premium on Northern markets. Then why not use them in preference and why not?use--them freely at presen-1 low prices? "The main turkey producing counties are Saluda,' Kershaw, Lancaster and York. These and other counties have hundreds of handsome birds that they will begin shipping from the state shortly unless there is a demand within the state." During the three months hunting, season just closed in the states of Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan, ."{.*> persons were killed in hunting accident. ami it is estimated that a total of r.ot less than To.000 deer were killed by the more than loO.OOO liJcir.-oii men and women hunters of the three -tales. Speaker Garner is quoted a- -aying that the failu'e of his unqualified prohih.t.on repeal amendment to pass the h."U-e <>n Monday by the required two-third- majority, was chargeable to the "lanu- duck" votes.

Death Sentence Given Woman WW?H/?1II York, Dec. 8.?A 29-year-old mother, expecting another child in a month, was sentenced tod%y to die in tho electric chair April, 7 for the fatal shooting last April 17 of Hural Policeman Elliott Harris on a York cpunty road near Fort Mill. The woman, Mrs. Beatrice Ferguson Snipes, thus became tho first womun to face death in the elccti ic chair at the state penitentiary in Columbia since that method of execution was adopted in South Carolina twenty yeiyrs ago. Mrs. Snipes was denied a ..motion for a new trial by Judge Thomas S. Sense in general sessions court here but her attorneys said they would api peal on grounds that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence. She was convicted Tuesday and her husband, against whom charges of accessory before and after the fact in connection with the killing were nol prossed and'dismissed, pleaded 'guilty to using the slain officer s car without his consent and yesterday was sentenced to serve seven months in the state penitentiary.
