Very Few New Jobs
In Cotton Campaign
Clomson, College, June 24,?"The
falso impression has circulated thut
there is to be employed a large numher
of new government workers in
I connection with the administration of
[ the farm act. Up to this time we
have received just the opposite impression
in instructions coming to
this office from Washington," says
I)r. W. W. Long, director of extension
service, CI em son College, S. C.
"The administration has drafted the
different extension organizations,
which are a branch of the Department
of Agriculture, to carry on thnp
work and we are advised that very!
few new workers will be employed
and these only on the basis of eligibil-j
ity under examinations now being j
held by the United States Civil Ser- j
vice Commission, Washington, D. C.,"j
Director Long explains.
"The administration is counting on
tho voluntary aid of farmers and ull
other agencies interested in better
prices for cotton for getting the work
done. I/oeal committeemen will do
much of the work on a basis of receiving
expenses while visiting farms
where the acreage is to be reduced,
checking the acreage and making
other necessary records.
"Unless, tl^grefore, we get instructions
that are entirely different from
'those already received as to tho policy
for employing workers it is a waste
of anyone's time, to make application
to this office for positions that do
not exist," Dr. Long concludes.

Woman Tells Details
Of Mysterious Death
Charlotte. N. C.. June 24.?The
Observer says a woman's statement
from a hospital that she had been
poisoned because she knew "the
Rudisill killing" today led to a new
investigation of the death of Albert
Rudisill, found hanging in a warehouse
garbed in woman's clothing
here a year ago. *
Nellie Long, who was taken to a
hospital Thursday after eating poisoned
food, the paper says, was reported
tto have told detectives oet&ils
of young Rudisili's death.
Mystery of the Leaven
The above sermon subject is the
fourth sermon in a series now being
preached at the Methodist church by
the pastor. What do you know about
leaven? Does it signify the Gospel
to leaven all society, and a process
of saving the whole world? No, it
does not mean such things. Come
and hear this most misunderstood
subject, invites Rev. C. F. Wimfcerly.
Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Mrashall and
family have gone to Lake Alfred,
Florida, to visit relatives.
Arthur Jordan Kills
Negro Farm Tenant
Arthur S. Jordan, son of L- J. Jordan,
of the Lockhart section of this
county, shot and killed Bud Lightly,
a negro tenant, on Tuesday afternoon
of this weok.
As testified at the coroner's inquest
I by a number of witnesses* including
the wife of the deceased, Lightly, along
with the other croppers, had
I caught out his mule to return to
plowing after the noon hour Tuesday.
The mule threw Lightly, who became
violently enraged, beating the' mule
and cilrsing. He then went, still
cursing, toward Mr. Jordan's home,
his wife following him and begging
him to stop swearing and go back to
work. He continued, however, into
Jordan's yard, when Jordan appeared
upon tho porch and ordered him
away. He paid no attention but continued
advancing on the house, with
j his hand in his hip pocket, telling
Jordan that he had come down there!
to kill him. When he reached the I
porch steps Jordan shot twice at his,
feet. Lightly then jumped on the
porch and grappled with Jordan, who
! fired twice into his body. Lightly
| was brought to the Camden hospital
but died the same evening.
Jordan's attorney, M. M. Johnson,
appeared before Judge W. H. Townsend
in Columbia Wednesday afternoon
and secured an order for bail
for Jordan at $1,500. The case will
likely be tried during next week's
court.

Plan Other Crops j
For Retired Cotton
! . TClem&on
College, June 24.?i$outh!
Carolina cotton farmers who cooperate
in governmental plans to retire a
pa it o[ the, acreage this season in the
effort to increase the price of the staple,
still may utilize the land so released
with good effect, thinks R. W.
Hamilton, extension agronomist, who
suggests that they may use the land
to grow the foodstuffs lacking and
needed on many farms, such as Sudan
grass, soybeans, cbwpeas, millet and
sorghum. Even though it may bo late
to plant these crops with best results,
t hw land may be kept in condition and I
ready to plant this fall with small
grain and clovers or other legumes.
Planting tho acreage retired from'
cotton to smull grain this fall has the J
double virtue of keeping such Acreage!
from being put to cotton In 1934.:
This Is considered important by administrators
of the Agricultural Ad-,
justment Act since the operations of
tho act call for a continuous and
long-time effort to keep the cotton'
acreage within reasonable bounds.
Growers who plan to cooperate with
the government in an effort to restore
prosperity to Southern farms
will give careful consideration to the
use of all land retired from cotton |
cultivation, believe officials of tho!
United States Department of Agri-j
culture. To do so is to further bal- j
ance production on a sane basis for
the ultimate benefit of the grower. I

One Convicted
In Kidnap ("use
Barnstable, Muss., June 24.-?Kenneth.
Buck wus sentenced tonight to
not less than 24 nor more than 25
years in state's prison for the kidnaping
of 10-year-old Margaret
"Peggy" MeMath and the extortion
of $00,000 ransom from her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Noil C. MeMath, of
llarwichport and Detroit.
The sentence was pronounced by
Judge Edward F. Hanify a few minutes
after Kctvneth had been convict- *
od and his brother, Cyril Duck, acquitted
of the kidnaping and extortion
charges.
Kenneth', who shed tears during the
trial, stood up and received the long
sentence without llinehing. lljs aged
mother, Mrs,. Bertha Buck, collapsed
and was taken from the courtroom.
Other relatives cried openly, and Mrs.
Albert Chase, a sister of Kenneth, left
the room near collapse.
The crime foi which the brothers
were tried was one which drew national
attention. "Peggy" was kidnaped
from the Harwich Center
school May 2 by a man who had
telephoned the school saying he was
the child's father, Noil C. MeMath,
a former Detroit engineer who is
now employed us a boat builder at
llarwichport, and was sending a car ..
for his daughter.
The kidnaper was blacked to look
like a negro, and after leading the
child mto the automobile he bound,
gagged and blindfolded "Peggy" and
hid her in a cranberry bog shack
until midnight. He then took her
to a vacant house almost opposite
the home of the Buck brothers and
held her there until after midnight
morning of May 5 when she was
turned over to her father on board
a boat in Wychmere Harbor in Harwichport
upon the payment of $00,000.
The arrests of the Buck brothers
came later that day and the money
was recovered, police said, in Kenneth's
home.
