York Negro of 16
Sentenced To Die
York. 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.?

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.

Dr. Maritt T. Eddy, America's oldest

his 100th birthday anniversary at j
Middlebury, Vt., Wednesday. He nasi
practiced since 1865. He is not only |
the oldest practicing physician, but |
also the oldest graduate of Middlebury
college, oldest member of the
Chi Phi fraternity, and the oldest
Methodist and Mason in Vermont.
Due to his feebleness he now advises;
his patients from his bed. He re- J
ceived ^y^ents for his first call when
he started practicing medicine.
Demands will soon be made on the j
interstate commerce commission by
organization? representing large ship-^
pers of the country, for sharp reduc- 5
tions in freight rates comparable with,
present low commodity prices. It is |
charged that industry in general is j
being forced to pay rates maintained
at an artificially high level, and that
the present rates are in the nature of j
a subsidy to the railroads.
