"The money," she said, "was not only in government bonds, but in gold certificates and gold coins, one on the Bank of Maryland, dated January 1, 1840."

The sister, Mra, Heekin's mother, made her home in Louisville, Ky. "Uncle Jake" lived for years in an old stable where he had a repair shop in Mount Sterling. He tried, his niece related, to live on twenty-five cents a day. And the money he saved, she said, he kept hidden around his home, ft There were bonds tucked under mattresses, gold coins in tin cans, seemingly carelessly put aside.

Underhill Dies; Inman Captured Seminole, Okla., Jan. 7.?Shortly after Wilbur Underhill, "tri-state terror," died of 18 bullet wounds in the McAlester penitentiary hospital, one of his confederates, Elmer Inman,-was wounded and captured near Bowlegs early today, further reducing the roll of the south west's fugitive bad men. Inman, one-time confederate of Hay Terrill, member'of the now decimated Terrill gang of killers and robbers, escaped temporarily from a posse of Seminole officers after a midnight raid on a rooming house here, but ^ra^wounded during the chase that followed. Doctors said he would lose the sight of one eye. He was arrested with Grace Cunningham, a Seminole underworld character, who fled with him by motor car. Lona Nichols, sister of Eva Mae Ifichols, who was fatally wounded when Underhill was captured at Shjuynee eight days ago, was taken in custody in the rooming house. The trail of crime of Underhill, narcotic .addict and killer, was ended by death late last night. Suffering from 13 bullet wounds he received in the gun fight with officers who surprised him . in his Shawnee hideout, he died 12 hours after he had been taken in a machine gunguarded ambulance from a Shawnee hospital to the better fortified prison hospital. The desperado's body will be sent to Joplin, Mo., for burial. His aged mother, Mrs. Almira Underhill, and his unmarried sister, of Kansas City, hdrried to McAlester this morning. "I wish they had not brought Wilbur to' McAlester when they did," sobbed the mother. "If they had not moved him when they did, he might have lived. I just begged them to let Wilbur stay in the Shawnee hospital a few days longer." The United States bureau of identification said at Washington it had ordered Underhill transferred because of rumors-of a plot to deliver hiim Fumigating Stored Grains Throughout the central and southern parts of the state the grain weevil and the grain moth infest corn in the field before it is harvested, the infestation toeing worse in loose-fitting shucks. These pests are hauled to the crib from the field. At every load thousands of these weevils sift through the corn and <iie on the floor of the wagon toed. Whdh the wagon bed is swc<pt, the sweepings should be burned and not thrown on the ground. Weevils may be controlled by fumigating with carbon bisulphide. ^This liquid, as well as the gas, is easily set on fire and then explodes violently. For that reason it should be handled even more cautiously than gasoline; hence, fire of all kinds, including lighted pipes, cigars, candles, embers, lamps, etc.", should be kept away. Lofts should not be fumigated when livestock is kept under them.. When the material is not in use.it can be stored in a cool place. Carbon bisulphide may be obtained from local dealers and from wholesale drug houses at from 20 to 30 ce&ta per pound in-small lots, and 7 to^lO cents per pound in 100-pound drums, f. o. to. The cdntainera are furnished at an extra cost but are returnable. Directions for Fumigating.?Clean old bins thoroughly. Make the bins or cribs tight. Select a tame when the temperature of the air is not below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Use carbon bisulphide at the rate of 7 pounds to 100 bushels of grain as follows: Level the com at the surface, and at points three feet apart each way pull out the ears to make holes. - Into these pour the carbon bisulphide in equal amounts. Throw the ears back and spread blankets over the grain. Close the crib tight. Fumigation should be continued for 24 to 48 hours before the crib is opened. .No ventilation is necessary except that if the crib is a brick one it should be ventilated at the end of 36 to 48 hours. Small amounts of seed may be fumigated in a coal oil or molasses barrel, using about three ounces of carbon bisulphide per barrel. After applying cover the barrel with sacks weighted down with boards. Seeks Death Penalty In Kadnap Measure Washington, Jan. 4.?A bill to pro- j vide the death penalty for kidnapers was introduced today by Senator Patterson (Republican) of Missouri, author of the measure known as the "Lindbergh law." At present life imprisonment is, the maximum penalty for kidnapers convictedr in Federal courts of removing a victim from one stata to another. , t In drafting his bill, Patterson said he had particularly in mind kidnaping* in Kansas City where victims were hidden away in Kansas or removed from St- Louis to Illinois. -- - s v. 4... , - .. Vj Dr. Carver Discovers New Oil In Peanuts Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 80.?.Discovery of jk mineral oil in peanuts that had, aided in' the recovery of infantile paralysis victims and in tho rejuvenation of tissues was announced today t>y Dr. George W. Carver, noted negro scientist and head of th^ research department of Tuskegee institute, "It has been given out that I have found a cure,'' said Dr. Carver. "I have not, but it looks hopeful. Doctor Carver said the tissue building properties in the oil were accidentally discovered, after-he had used it as the base for a beauty lotion. "I gave it to some ladies to use," he said in discussing his discovery, "and those inclined to be1 fat brought it back, saying they could not use it because it made them gain weight. "When they brought this back, I saw it had great value, and I And that it is the greatest fat producer I have ever seen." Dr. Carver said after drawing off the emulsion, he had made tests and then used Lt in the treatment of two young boys, one 13 and the other 14, who had suffered from infantile paralysis. Improvement was noted early in the tests, Doctor Carver said. Pink returned to the skin and the muscles increased in size by actual measurements. After nine applications of. the oil, which was massaged into the affected limbs, one of the subjects who had been walking with crutches was able to walk with the yse of only a cane. Tho other boy, less severely afflictedi had increased use of his leg and joined other boys in playing football. "I have used it on 250 persons, and it has never failed, so far as I can find out," said Doctor Carver. "I am using it as a fact finder, and I am working out its complete pharmaceutical value. "For certain things, I Know it has a .definite value, but for others it remains to be proven. "The oil is translucent and limped and is readily absorbed by the skin. It is extracted from the peanut by tho cold process." Doctor Carver demonstrated it, rubbing a few drops Into the* arm of a subject, and in a few moments the immediate area of the application glowed rose-colored and small veins throughout the arm became visible with the larger ones standing out vividly. _? _ Former Pastor looses Mother-in-Law Camden people will read with regret of the death of Mrs. William S. Stoney's mothei\ Rev. Stoncy was the former rector of the Church of the Ascension at Hagood. The following is from the Gainesville Sun 6f January 4: * ^RevT Wl:11am S. Stoney, rector Of the Holy Trinity Episcopal church, accompanied by Mrs. Stoney and her aunt, Mrs. G. R. Manning, of Tampa, left here last night for Sewanee, Tennessee, after receipt of a telephone message that Mrs. Stoney's mother, Mrs. John B. Hunt, had died at her home there yesterday morning. "Mrs. Hunt had visited her daughter, Mrs. Stoney, in Gainesville several times and had many friends here who will learn with sorrow her death." - -'i. Fred Cox, 14 yearfc old, was acquitted by the jury in sessions court on the indictment for killing Robert Blackwell, 16 years old, at Hemlock Station, in Chester county. Cox said Blackwell was accidentally stabbed while tfhe "boys were scuffling on the ground in play, last December 1. ? ??????? I1KRK IS "PUTRID" The American legion Champion Membership Getter; . * , J; For a month last year The Legion X)f South Carolina each week "awarded" "Putrid" to one of the Leglbn Districts because of" that District's low percentage of membership quota attained for that week. There was much enthusiasm over not "winning" "Putrid."- The goat was usually sent to the Post within the District which had the lowest percentage of membership quota. To be rid of "Putrid" in a. hurry The Legionnaires of Cheraw would hitch "Putrid" fit front of a delinquent member's place of business until he paid , his duos. Legionnaires over the entire state caught the spirit and it was a greatfight to keep "Putrid" away. The goat is credited with fifteen hundred members last year, due to the enthusiasm he created. This campaign of "awarding" the goat started on January 1st, and will continue until the Spring Rally about March 16th. One Post in the state last year won "Putrid" twice. The Richltfnd County Post at Columbia entertained the famous membership getter the first week he was out getting members. Commencing the week of January 1st "Putrid" will bo awarded on the same basis as last year. District Commanders and Post Commanders are warned that "Putrid" is one year older, larger and "stronger." Meat?Shall We Can It? There is no job on the farm that pays better than the canning of meat, and nothing in the farm store room that affords, more good "eats" than your canned meats. It is a grand and glorious feeling to know that you have steak, roast,, sausage, spare-ribs and backbone to openj on a moment's notice. There is no better way to preserve the inherent goodness of fresh meats than by canning it, for the canned meats have the same fine appearance and taste as the fresh food. The economy of mea| canning can be proved in dollars and cents. Allowing for the worth of the animal at market, the cost of materials and a reasonable amount for one's own labor there is a tremendous difference in the value of meat canned over what it costs over the counter. Practically every farm family has some surplus animal or animals which should be feeding them instead of their feeding it over the Winter. If he has not, he can make a deal with a neighbor, offering labor in return for canned products. It is estimated that 640 pounds of meat will provide five servings of meat per week for a family of five persons throughout the year. Such rft quantity of meat might be secured from one beef animal weighing 600. pounds live weight, three hogs averaging 180 pounds and one lamb weighing 60 pounds. The hams, shoulders and sides of the hog should preferably be cured, but there is much of the sausage, spare-ribs, loins and other fresh cuts that should be saved for later use. 142 pounds of dressed pig will produce eight No. 3' cans of roast, twelve No. 2 cans of sausage, six No. 2 cans of liver paste, six No. 2 cans of scrapple, three pounds of head cheese, eight pounds of pickled pigs feet, 34 1-2 pounds of lard, 14 pounds of cured bacon and 28 pounds of cured hams. Miss Sadie B. Craig, the home agent, and Miss Mary Hayes, the assistant emergency worker, will assist with meat canning throughout the county. They ere making up their schedule for January now so see them at once if you have meat to can. This is a part of the emergency campaign and the "live-at-home" movement. This canning program is also a means of providing the farm family with the equivalent of fresh meat the year 'round. ?
