3-Year-Old Boy
Shoots Brother
A H^tle <white headed boy not ye*,
four years of age shot and instantly
killed his eight year old brother on
Sunday afternoon in the Pixie section.
Deceased is Mux l^ee Strong
and the little boy who accidentally
fired the shot is Ralph Strong who
will be four years of age in March.
The little fellow is too young to realize
what he has done.
The gun used was on the porch of
the home and was loaded. Not realizing
the danger of th? gun the
younger boy carried it into the house
and in some nianner it was discharged
with the shot going completely
through the head of Max Strong.
Another brother of the deceased and
a sister of the dead boy were
room at the time but they were "unable
to tell how the tragedy. occurred
as they did not see the little boy
with the gun until the weapon had
discharged. > y.
The dead boy was sitting in front
of the fire and the presumption Is
that the little brother in carrying the
gun into the room stumbled and fell.
Evidently the gun was fired at close
range as the hole made in the head
of the deceased was not a large one
when the fact is considered that the
shot was from a 12 guage single barrelled
shot gun. The shot entered
his head near the cheek bone close
t to the ear and came out about in the
same place on the other side of the
head.
Sheriff Dabney and Deputy Sowell
investigated the accident and they
decided that an inquest was not necessary.
This sad accident occurred at the
Mullis farm in the Dixie settlement.
The Strong lumily moved, to this
county from Union county. N. C.,
some time ago. They lived in Union
county for a numebr of years and
have a number of relatives in that
county.?Lancaster News.
O. E. S. HoweF
Dies in Chair
Q. E. S. Howell, former Sumter
carpenter and night watchman, was
electrocuted at the state penitentiary
Friday for the slaying of E. Hart
Williams, whom his wife pointed out
to him as her attacker.
The 42-year-old man walked into
the deatb-TOom untouched by a guard
before and behind him and with a
semblance of a smile on his face.
As he sat in the electric chair, he
asserted he had told "the truth"
when he'said he shot and killed E.
Hart Williams, filling station opera-!
tor, at Sumter, "to protect my home."
"I feel li^ I did what any oth<?r
man would have done under the circumstances,"
he said. "I ask the
Christian people to take care of my
babies. Always tell the truth. That's
what I have always done."
At 10:08 Sgt. Matthew Wallace
.the penitentiary executioner, threw
the electric chair switch. Howell was
pronounced dead at 10:13, five minutes
afterward, by Dr. P. E. Payne,
prison physician.
The electrocution was the end to a
legal battle of more than two years
to save Howell's life and to one of
the strangest cases in the annals of
the state.
Howell shot Williams down at the
tatter's filling station in the Sumter
business section June 18, 1930. His
wife, Carrie Howell, had gbne with
him down the street and pointed to
the filling station operator.
She was arrested along with her
husband and made a statement that
he, insanely jealous, had demanded
that she name "the other man," and
she pointed out Williams at random.
Howell signed her statement, but
later repudiated it, asserting that it
was untrue.
Mrs. Howell was acquitted of a
charge of being an accessory in the
slaying in July 1930. Her husband
was convicted and sentenced to die.
The state supreme court granted
him a new trial but he again was
found guilty of murder and sentenced
a .second time to be electrocuted. The
court recently refused him a third
trial.
Mrs. Carl H. Jones, of Great Falls,
was fatally injured during the sleet
storm, when her car collided with a
cotton truck, driven by a Chester
negro seven miles east of Chester.
Lieutenant Wilkes, of the highway
patrol, jailed the negro on a charge of
reckless driving. Mrs. Jones was returning
from a shopping expedition to
Rock Hill with her sister-in-law, Mra.
T. W. Jones, who had a scalp wound
and Mrs. B. O. Drennan, also of Great
Falls, who received a lacerated lip
and contused eye. The husband of
the dead woman is an employee of the
Dnke Power company and the funeral
was held at Fort Mill.
Estimates place American money
invested in the Krenger and Toll company
enterprises of Sweden, now defunct,
at $127,000,000 to $130,000,000.
The investor* will recover nothing.

Cow and Sow
For Every Farm
wgm " i i
Hundreds of Kershaw county farmers
have become owners of bogs for
the first time within the past two or
three years. However, there are others
who need to do likewise ami this
is a special appeal not only for tbpse
who do not at this time have * brood
sow and a milk cow to (ret tme but
also for people who are more fortunate
to help the less'fortunate neighbors
to attain this need.
At this time hogs and pigs . are
very cheap in Kershaw county and
even n tenant farmer without money
may arrange to get a sow pig by
swapping something that he has or
else doing a few days labor for the
man from whom he secured the "pig .Q.r
hog. Like>vi*o?-thj-'re are a lot of
^farmers In the county who have more
female cattle than they need for home
use and in many instances deals of
mutual advantage may be made between
the owner of a surplus cow or
heifer and the man who needs one.
While it is true thai they have made
great progress recently in this undertaking
of feeding our people it is
also true that the job is no|i near
completeion.
Men interested in the development
and welfare of their communities will
do well to take an interest and initiative
in this work and by cooperation
among us all we can hasten
the day when our people shall be
self-supporting and then and only
then will they begin to shake off the
shackles of economic bondage, for
they can theft eat at home the pro-,
duee that they have raised and not
be dependent upon some uncertain
! financing.
[ Even thopgh conditions at present
I are hard we still have a great deal
| to be thankful for and it behooves all
t patriotic South Carolinians an.d Amerj
icans to buckle down to the hard task
and see it through to a successful
completion. This can be accomplish-,'
ed through harder thinking and
greater cooperation. It is requested
that the county agent, Henry D.
Green, be called on wherever and
whenever needed.
Kitchen Contest
Creates Interest
The kitchen contest proved to be
one of the most interesting contests
held for home demonstration club
women during the past year. M the
beginning of the year twenty-four
club members joined the contest, and
most of them improved their kitchens
by rearrangement to save time and
steps. Other members caught the
contestants' enthusiasm and one hundred
and eighty women rearranged
their kitchens to make them more,
convenient. Many kitchen cabinets
j have been made, and four homemade
sinks have been put in. ,
Miss Harriette Layton, assistant
state agent in charge of women's
work, from Winthrop College, spent
last Tuesday and Wednesday in the
counly assisting Miss Sadie B. Craig,
the home agent, in scoring the kitchens.
It was remarkable that so
many improvements were made for
such a small expenditure of money.
Mrs. J. J. Young, of the Midway
club won first prize. -She ceiled her
kitchen, had a cabinet built in and
convenient shelves built, a sink put in
and the windows and doors screened.
In fact, she has a completely new
kitchen for $11.95., Most of the carpentry
was done by Mr. Young, thus
eliminating that expense.
Second prize was won by Mrs. E. T.
Truesdale. of the Lugoff club.
Mrs. N. P. GettyS, of Lugoff club,
won third place.
Honorable mention goes to Mrs. A.
A. West and Mrs. H. H. West, of
Midway club. Both these ladies improved
their kitchens by rearrangement
and by building in convenient
shelves. Neither spent any money.
The contest has proved so helpful
that the women are asking for another
one next year.
Will you walk into my kitchen
! Said' the lady to her guest;
Tis the handiest little kitchen
I You have ever seen, I guess.
The table has its rollers.
Which makes, it easy for me
To roll it where it's needed
And it saves steps too, you see.
Oyer there's the corner cupboard
Over here's the 'homemade sink
And here's the new ice box
That keeps our food and drink. <
Many new shelves have been added
On which to- store mjr thingsAll
this saves time and energy
To give to worthwhile things. <
My kitchen work is cut in half
I am glad I joined the contest;
I now have time to read and sew
And then some time to rest.

Watch Out For
This Old Scheme
Speaking of rackets, you want to be
on the lookout for the ones built around
neckties and hosiery.
This i9 the time of year when you
receive in your mail a letter from
the tie man, who will tell you that he
is a cripple, unable to get around, and
so on, and that he has an invalid
sister; they make the ties and that
the only source of revenue ethey have
is through the sale of these neckties
and stuff like that.
Same old racket and has been worked
long enough. Thd necktie man
wants to sell you a 15 cent tie for 50
cents, or 45 cents worth of neckties
for $1.00. If you fell for this racket,
or a similar one, la.st year or year
before", he will ship you the neckties
without your permission, and tell you
that you have, been mentioned to him
as a fellow who goes to the front for
the unfortunaite, and that he is taking
the liberty of sending you the necktfes
because he has a lot of confidence
in you.
Hie truth of the matter is you are
on the sucker list. He is confident you
will send the dollar, because he figures
you are a picker. ^
He is not a cripple. He is a comfortably
fixed man who works a few
weeks a year around the holiday season
in the necktie rucket. So don't
worry about him.
This is the year of all years we >
should patronize -our own home town
merchants. They need our business.
They are taxpayers. They provide
employment for our people. They pay
rent, they buy light, they contribute
to the charitable organizations apd
they stand back of their merchandise.
