Jan, 24.?In one hour and 1' rnir.ute* Will' Sander*. 16, negro, was arraigned, tried and con* vie ted of murdering Mi?s Zula Ste- : vensoii, 69, here on Januaiy 2, and .sentenced by Judge W H. Townaend to be electrocuted March 3. Only two witnesses took the stand in the amazingly short murder trial and both were for the state. A jury needed only 28 minute* to bring in its verdict. Sanders was placed in an automobile immediately after he was sentenced and Rural Policeman G. W. Sparrow took him to (o?umbia where he was put in the penitentiary. The negro had nQ caupsei and H. M. I>unlap, Mayor of Rock Hill, was appointed to represent him, but the defense presented no witnesses. John Walker, uncle of the prisoner, took the stand and said his nephew was 10 years old. That was nil ^the testimony he gave. The other witness was Rural Policeman W . G. Pott* who testified regarding Sander's alleged confession police sa,d be made when he was arrested shortly after Mis* Stevenson was found clubbed to death in her room a', the home of a brother here. The confession, as quoted by Ru*a! Policeman I>. J. Boyd and Magistrate J. A. I far-haw when they took the negro youth away from Yf'fk *. mme-j di.ttely after the ko^ig. detailed the -laying. Sanders said he went to Miss Stevenson' to got some clothes for his grandmother who did the Stevenson s washing," the confession said, adding I that the youth started away, realized he had forgotten soap, and returned. The spinster ?t<>ld him she had no soap and he started away again. "As he diil," Sanders was quoted.; he sa.d she said something to him he didn't understand but that it made him mad and he picked up an axe handle' and followed her into the' house to her room." "Mi-s Stevenson, he said, was standing in front of the fi-eplace. j He said he hit her and knocked her 1 j into the fireplace, breaking the xe j handle. He said he then pulled her j out and g'>t a stick of stovewood and hit r.er twice ' !) the head."' A phy.-i'ian who examined the *,r..jy shortly after it wa- found said he -ku'| had beer, crushed in two ! ?- and that an a - m wa- broken.

Pays To Disinfect Irish Potato Seed CWmion (Allege, Jan. 21.?Diain| twtion of Iriah potato seed with cgri rosive sublimate, formaldehyde or ! mercury ha* in many cases resulted j in iacreaaed yield* of 20 to 30 per ! cent, with an even gTeater increase j in percentage of prime potatoes, says | Alfred Lutken, extension entomologi*t, who warns that apparently clean ' seed often carry the apores of disease organism# and that unlesa seed are known to have been grown and stored under disease-free conditions, disinfection will probably pay. Seed treatment, which will control the surface-borne diseases, common scab, black scurf and black leu, should be given before sprouting occurs ami before the seed are cut, Mr. Lutken advises. Treated seed should be handled in new or disinfected crates. Planting may be delayed several weeks aftec treating, if the seed are stored in small baskets or crate* and a-o protected from extremes of temperature. Seed potatoes should be carefully selected, and any showing severe scab or scurf infection should be discarded aloftg with those showing bad . bruises or decayed spots. It usually pays well to use certified seed rather than cheaper seed of doubtful source. The four methods of treatment in j general are: Corrosive sublimate, cold formaldehyde, hot formaldehyde and organic mercury dip. Details of j the methods of treatment will be fur- j nished upon request to the Extension j Service at Clemson College. House In Favor Cut In Licenses After as tumultous a session as the | house has had in many a year, that; body last night advanced to third reading a bill providing for the reduc-; tion of motor vehicle license fees to j one-half of their present costs, except on trucks used for hire. The reduc-' t.on proposed would be effective this year and would mean refunds, it was , ioughly estimated, of about $750,000 to persons who have already pur-; chased their licenses. Ben M. Saw-1 yer. chief highway commissioner, said, he was unable to estimate with any. degree of accuracy the amount of > refunds called for but house mem-; be*- thought the figure would be aiound $750,000. 1*. \va{ the fight night session of, the house fur the year and the gal-, I'eCe- were crowded, with visitors when the bill was called up. The .de- 1 bate wa- often interrupted by two or; three members seeking recognition at; i.n.t- anil frequently the presiding of-!' ?i. er had to warn the house, "We'll j never get through if we keep this j up." On the final vote the bill was} advanced to third reading. 03 to 8. I An amendment by the ways and; means committee provided that the; bill would take effect in 103-1 instead; of 193.3. This was killed after long; debate. The highway department and its1 alleged extravagance came in for. sharp panning by several house members, some of whom claimed that it was "the tail that wagged the dog." The bill will likely be sent to the senate today. It was introduced by Belk of Kershaw, Evans and Bennett of Marlboro, Blatt and W. C. Smith of Barnwell, Stansfield of Aiken.? Wednesday's State. President Hoover vetoed the first deficiency appropriation bill of this congress and was sustained in it by a vote of 103 to 158 in the negative. The veto was 'because the bill carried :i provision that would have directed the joint congressional committee on internal revenue taxation to examine and determine whether refunds allowed by the internal revenue commission of over $20,000 should bo paid. This was held to be unconstitutional.

Sweeping Slash In Cost Of Tags By a vote of 163 to 3 the legislature Wednesday p**acd a bill providing for a new scale of prices for automobile tags, the scale running from $3 to $15. The bill now goes to the senate. The vote on accepting the measure, was 123 to 71. As approved by the house, the bill provides that owners of cars of 2,800 pounds or less shall get $3 tags and that a charge of 26 cents per hundred for. all cars weighing more than 2.800 jjifands. In effect the bill reduces the prices of tags for smaller cars from $11.25 to $3 and cuts the tag. prices of larger cars 60 per cent, as the charge for all last year was 50 cents per hundred pounds. Governor pugene Talmadge, who had advocated a flat $3 tag price for all cars, said Wednesday afternoon that the bill as approved by the house was satisfactory to him and indicated that if the sanate approved it the bid would get his signature. "Of course, 1 would have been better pleased if the House had gone on all the way on the tag proposition and made them all $3." the governor *a u. "However, half a loaf is certa.nly better than no bread at all, ar-.i this measure will save the motor tar owners of Georgia about $2,000,uoO. which is a great saving in this day and time." The bill provides that tags for oneton trucks shall be sold at $7.50 and that tags for larger trucks and buses shall bring the same price as heretofore.
