Mr Kofoed is one of the best known writers on golf and boxing. He has reported practically every gante that Bobby Jones played abroad, and most of the big championship matches in this country. Not only is he a writer on taxing but has acted as judge in several championship fights. Mr. Kofoed is a frie?ut_of Karl Abbott, of The Kirkwood, and Mil bo a via-1 itor to Camden?along with several other spoking writers from New .York, Philadelphia and Boston?during the spring. I olo, so far as the outdoor game and New York is concerned, is laid away in lavender and broccoli or something . ; - . but down in Camden, S. C., the boys are batting the ball around and wearing their ponies down to shadows; The big field back of the Kirkwood Hotel resounds to the thud of hoofs and the bitter exclamations of the players. "I had always thought that golfers rated high in explosive language . . but they are sissies compared with such experts as Mr. Robert Strawbridge when he expresses disgust at missing a shot. Bobby can talk to his horse and the ball and the rival players in the manner reminiscent of the best method of the bucko mate of a hell ship. "Polo is one of the great thrills of sport . . and incidently costs more per thrill than anything else, I suppose, except yacht racing. Tommy Hitchcock, aboard White Slave, could have posed for a statue of Thrills in Sports, and Strawbridge, Milburn, Balding, Roarke and other stars of hockey on horseback have made my neat brown locks stand on end many a time. "There are no international matctfes^ scheduled for Camden during the remaining months of the winter season . . . but it isn't necessary to have such matches to promote excitement. They have a lot of good riders down that vPay . . . Charlie Little, Buck Smith, Kirby Tupper, Whitty Boykin, Carl Lightfoot. These fellows haven't written polo history such as Milburn and Hitchcock have . . . but they ride hard and make a good show. If Gerald Balding goes down, as he expects to, these boys will get experience they'll love, playing against a great internationalist. "The most theatrical outfit I ever saw^on the polo field was the India Tigers that played on the grounds of the Philadelphia Country Club some ten years ago. Dark-faced, turbaned men, they brought to the staid Quaker City a flash of mysterious Mother India. And what horsemen they were! "They were Sikhs, who are fighting men and fine riders. Without delving into the records it seems to me that the Orange County team won that tournament.: . . but the men from India were the box office attractions of the week's play. . "Golf is the principal sport at most winter resorts . . . but in the bailiwick of Karl Abbott horses and guns hold equal ranking with the mashie. There has been a let-of fine shooting through the pine country, but from now on polo doubtless will hold the center of the stage. 'Tolo requires more precision and [timing than any other sport. Most people find it tough enough to tee up a golf ball, and . . while everyone waits 'breathlessly . . . sock it for any considerable distance. "Yet, the young dare-devils of the polo field go tearing around licketysplit .. . . smacking at a bouncing elusive ball with their mallets, while controlling a fiery horse at the same time. I'll take off my hat to those fellows. How they do it I still don't know, and at one time or another I have seen quite a bit of the game. | It must be noted that the poloists | live a hard and barren life .... sending their time between West| bury, Camden, Miami, California, Buenos Aires and such impossible j spots, poloing and dancing and drinkj ing and in general being ground beJ tween the upper and nether millstone. How they manage to come through | this torture is another mystery that | may never be solved. Take those fellows in Camden as an exampTe. Tough orv them, isn't it? j At this time of year Camden is bright and sunny and full of exciting pleasantries, There are no wet, windy clouds above?no muck under foot. . . Most of us could stand it, I guess, If we had the opportunity. I wonder if any of the regulars down there will develop into internationalists. We can stand a few more. Mflburn and Webb are only names. Tommy Hitchcock seems to find a swivel desk-chair a more necessary part of his life than a horse's back. Of course, there are pfenty of fine young players .... and places like Camden, &.

Connell, and his cousin, Mrs. Annie Dixon Grooms, last night and committed suicide this morning when officers went to his homo to arrest him. Young Connell became involved in an argument with his father at the latter's home Friday afternoon, officers said. He loft the place, but returned shortly before nine o'clock with a pistol. He began quarreling with his father again and ended the row by drawing his pistol and shooting the old man in the mouth. Connell ran out of the house and fell dead near the barn. Connell then turned the gun on Mrs. Grooms, who had been living with her uncle, and shot her through the head. She died almost instantly, Mrs. Lizzie Dixon, mother of Mrs. Grooms, was the only eye witness to the shooting. After killing his father and cousin, she said Connell turned the pistol on himself and shot 'himself through the head. The wound, however, failed to inflict death and Connell left the house bleeding profusely. He walked four miles to his home on the farm of Adam Reams and went to bed. Rural officers Dollard afid Norris j searched for Connell throughout th? night, but failed to find him. This morning Officer Dollard and City officer Kinney went to Connell's home. Officer Dollard called ,tp Connell to come out of the hobse. Connell yelled back to the officers to come on in the house. Dollard repeated his order for Connell to come out and was greeted by a loud report from a shotgun. Kicking open the door the two officers found Connell .breathing his last on the floor. He had shot himself through the stomach with a shotgun. Later in the morning the officers found the pistol, a 32-caliber Colt revolver, with which Connell committed the double murder, on the railroad tracks a half mile from his father's home. Connell had discarded some of his blood-soaked clothing along with the pistols So far the officers have not been able to fully determine just what caused the row between Connell and his father. The younger man had been drinking, they said and apparently was out of his mind.?Saturday's Sumter Item. Home-Mixing of Fertilizers. It is necessary thjs year that we produce ^ur crops as cheaply as possible and at the same, time make as big yields as possible per acre. Farmers can save considerable by homemixing their fertilizers and at the same time probably make larger yields because they will be able to mix into the fertilizer the proper ingredients and with proper amounts as required by the individual soil needs and individual crop needs. In genernl, it may be recommended that much less acid be used on light or sandy soils than has been customary. In fact, where fair applications of acid were used last year on light sandy soil most of the acid may be omitted this year. However, irt most cases it will be wise to reduce the acid to about 4 per cent, instead of the customary 8 per cent. On light, sandy type soils the potash content of the fertilizer should be materially increased, and it will probably be found beneficial to use as high as 0 per cent potash or even more on soft lighter soils. The situation is reversed in case of red or Piedmont type of soils where the acid should be maintained at about 7 per cent and the potash reduced possibly by one-half of the usual 4 per cent. These are blanket recommendations and should be fluctuated up or down according to the individual case. For detailed information on home-mixing of fertilizers for various soils and crops it is suggested that our farmers secure a copy of Extension . Circular number 126, "Home-Mixing of Fertilizer" or get in touch with the county agent* Respectfully, Henry D. Green, County Agent.

C., Feb. 21.?A very pleasant affair of the past week was the mother-daughter dinner given by the girls of the ninth grade home economics class at the home economics dining room under the supervision of their teacher, Miss Lillian GoodThe decorations were in keeping with the season. A potted begonia was the center piece. The place cards were in the shape of hearts. Miss Fiances Bethune acted as hostess and a delicious four, course dint i ner was served. In addition to the mothers of the class, invitations were | extended to Superintendent J. C. FosI ter and Mrs. Foster, several high ' school teachers and the trustees of | the schools, o The Woman's Missionary Society of the Baptist church held its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday afternoon. The program period was given over to Miss Ilattie Clhrdner of Darlington county who made a splendid .talk on home missions. In addition to u year spent at tho Bible school in New Orleans, Miss Gardner has been engaged in church work in North Curolina and plans to go as a foreign missionary as early as possible. ( The ladies of the Bethune Order of 1 the Eastern Star entertained delightfully last Wednesday evening in honor of their worthy matron, Mrs. G. B. McKinnon.

Tiny Mite of an Infant Breaking all previous records at the hospital, and probably in Columbia as well, an infant boy weighing one and one-half pounds was born at j the Good Samaritan hospital Thursday morning. ? The infant, whose mother is Ethel Tupper, 3507 Main street, rear, is apparently in good health and normal except as to weight. It throws its arms about vigorously and drinks considerable milk, in spite of the necessity of feeding it with an eyedropper. The small baby is kept in a well heated room, but not an incubator, and hospital attendants are hopeful of seeing it grow into maturity. A baby weighing two pounds was born in Columbia last year and was getting along well when last reports were made. Democratic house leaders propose to give President-elect Roosevelt almost dictatorial powers in the matter of revising the government's entire structure from top to bottom, even to slashing veterans' compensation. It has been disclosed that Mr. Koosevelt has asked for this power and is willing to take the responsibility of cutting expenses to balance the budget even if it might cost him re-election.

The most important thing to do in developing a livestock enterprise is to provide adequate and efficient pasture. The cheapest feed that can bo had for livestock is pasture or grating crops. | Space here will not permit detailed information on pasture develop-' ment but those interested in more detailed information are requested to secure a copy of Extension Circular j number 07, entitled, " Better Pas- ( tures for South Carolina", from the ^ county agont, I It is urged that those farmers who have not yet gotten started with carpet grass do so without delay if they have any part of their pasture which is fairly moist. There are many hill- j sides in oven our sandy sections j which are seepy or moist and which will grow carpet grass successfully. This has been conclusively demon- j titrated at the Sandhill Experiment station at Pontiac. It is also strongly recommended that farmers interested in developing good pastures visit this experiment station pasturo and ask questions of Mr. R. B. Carr or other members of the station organization. Carpet Grass.?Carpet grass is a perennial grass that spreads by creeping stems which root at eveiy joint, and thus forms a dense compact 80(1. It h?? blunt or rounded leaf tips, and this characteristic wil distinguish it from Bermuda and other creeping grasses. It will not endure shade, therefore, land must be cleared of heavy bushes, vines, and weeds. It is not a pest and one plowing will kill it if desired. In planting I carpet grass it should have a firm ' seed bed. It should be planted in February or March. Lespedeza or Japan clover is another pasture plant which should be used on practically every type of soil in Kershaw county. This is a legume and not a grass, and is particular y useful on the poorer types of soil. Below are listed pasture mixtures for various types of soils and the proper amount of seed to use: Piedmont poor uplands?Bermuda outings, Lespedeza, 20 to 26 lbs. P acre; Piedmont good uplands and hillsides?Bermuda cuttings, Lespedeza, 15 to 20 lbs. per acre; White Dutch clover, 2 to 6 lbs. per acre; Dallls grass, 5 to 8 lbs. per acre; Herds grass, 6 to 6 lbs. per acre; Coastal Plains dry sandy lands or uplands?Bermuda grass cuttings, Lespedeza, 20 to 25 lbs. per acre; Coastal Plains moist or bottom lands carpet grass, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre, Lespedeza 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. White Dutch clover, .2, to 5 lbsn-per acre. , For further information consult your county agent. Roy L. Peterman, a vice president of the Southern Public Utilities company, was shot to death in hia home in Charlotte on Saturday night by his wife,'who admitted the shooting to the police and claimed that she killed her husband after the two had engaged in a fight. Later the wife repudiated this confession and the coroner's jury brought in a verdict of "suicide." The case presents many mysteries. The heaviest snowfall in New York since 1925 spread over that city Saturday. More than 18,000 jobless were given work in clearing away the snow, the jobless employed including men of all classes. Over the New England states the snow fall ranged from 12 to 15 inches. - Youths Arrested For Threat of Kidnaping Roanoke, Va., Fob. U.?Police took into custody today Joe Bryant, ll>, and Norman Harvey, 26, in what they charge wan a crude attempt to extort $60,000 from Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh under threat to kidnap hie second son. Tho two youths, both residents of Roanoke, arh being held for United States authorities. A denial that they had any connection with threatening letters or that they engaged in correspondence with a Roanoke policeman who represented himself as a representative of Colonel Lindbergh, was made by both men. Bryant and Harvey were arrested on a ruse employed by police when Bryant took a $17,000 check that had been planted in a stump in a wooded section in the Weaver Heights area some days ago, to the State and City Bank to obtain cash. ^ Bryant walked in to tho bank about 1:30 a. m. and went to the window at which W. M. Skelton is toller. Bank tellers and cashiers had been tipped off for two or three weeks to bo on tho alert for this check and Mr. Skelton recognized it at once. "I want to got tins cashed," said tho youth, who appears to be of limited education and writes a poor hand. "All right, just a minute," said Skelton, and turning about in the cage, handed tho check to Leigh Stevens, assistant cashier, and asked him to get the bundle of money ready. "How do you want it?" Skelton inquired of Bryant. "Make it in big bills," ho replied. Stevens took a money sack and left to get tho money ready. He stopped in the repr part of the building and telephoned police headquarters, then took his time to tio up several pade of blank receipts that were nearly the size of currency. He tied the pads in a bundle of brown paper and placed it in a sack and when he returned to the window, he saw plainr clothesmen were waiting and turned tho bag over to Skelton, who handed it through the cage. "Thank you," murmured Bryant as he walked away wearing a happy smile. Robert C. Johnson, chief of police identification burenu, and Howard Ferguson, a special officer employed by tho department, followed Bryant for some distance. The boy walked about a block away, where he was joined by Harvey and when Harvey sighted Mr. Johnson, he broke and ran, it was said. Bryant . went in another direction to a parked automobile occupied by Harvey's wife, Ethel, and a small child. Johnson arrested this pnir and took them to headquarters. Ferguson waited in the vicinity and soon Harvey returned and was captured. Roanoke police have been trying to trap the person attempting to extort this money from Colonel Lindbergh for more than two months. It came to their attention from federal authorities after Colonel Lindbergh had received two threatening letters and had turned them over to New Jersey state police.
