\egro Arrested in Sumter Murder Following the finding of the multi, , l>0(|y of James Grooms, fiftyeht-yo*r'ol(1 farmer liv?n* Briteig\ early Tuesday morning, rural rtcers arrested Kva Hugh, negro ? nvict at Horatio about noon TuesI v and announced that they believe . ^ave sufficient evidence to con|.kt Pugh of murder. The body was found when a neigh-' k,r went to Groom's home to return a mUle which wandered to his homo i^. Monday. Groom's head wus cut open and his ?kull fractured, one arm broken and [here were numerous stab wounds in h[. j,ac.k. The fatal blow was evidently indicted by a bloody bush axe found nearby. By the stable door was a pistol with two cartridges in it, snapped but not ftred. Indications were that Grooms put up a desperate struggle against his jssailant. Remains of his dinner still in the fire place indicated the murder was committed just before dinner. ' Officers Dollard and Norris investigating the case, traced the negro on a stolen bicycle ' from near . the murder to Horatio twenty-two mile* away, where he arrived late in the ifternon. The pistol was identified as Pugh's. Pufch served three years on the gang for robbing Grooms several years ago and was released only a few months ago. He was also tried for the murder of an old negro man but released by order of the court on insufficient evidence. ' This makes the fifth killing in this community in little more than a year, beginning with the shooting of Tom C. Connell and Annie Dixon Grooms by Ben Connell, who killed himself the next day when officers went to arrest him in March, 1933. An empty bottle was -thrown at King George and Queen Mary as they rode through the mining village of Harthill, Scotland, ,Saturday. The car chauffeur stepped ,?n the gas and swiftly carried the king and queen out of danger. A physical attack on the king and queen of England is almost unprecedented in modern Britain and the incident created the greatest excitement. The bottle, thrower Was arrested. Senator Huey P.

DRYING AND BRINING Prepared by Dora l>ee Walker, Production and Conservation Specialist When proper equipment and containers for canning are not available I drying- and brining is a simple method of conserving some fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables may be dried satisfactorily by cleaning, slicing and (exposing to the sun or to the air outdoors, or the process may be hastened [by placing in "trays (one placed on top of the other) over a stove, so that the warm air will pass upward through them. When drying products in the sun, they should be covered with wire netting or cheese cloth to keep insects away. If drying is done too rapidly, "case hardening" will result, that is the outer a^IIs of the vegetables will harden before the moisture evaporates from the inside and the product will mold. When drying in the sun, it is advisable to start the process in the shade in a strong draft of air for an hour before exposing the product to the direct ray$ of the hot sun. When finished, the products should bo dry and brittle. After drying the fruits and vegetables should be "conditioned" by turning frequently or pouring from one container to another. This permits more complete drying: and an even distribution of moisture. If impossible to have wire netting or cheese cloth covering to protect from insects during the drying period be sure to place dried product loosely on shallow pans and place in the oven for 10 or 15 minutes or until the product is too warm to handle comfortably. It will be necessary to stir the product often in ofder to heat uni^ formly and prevent burning. If this heat is done properly, all insect eggs are destroyed. Immediately pack or store products in paper bags, tin bdxes or glass jars. Syrup cans which have close fitting lids are desirable containers. Peaches: Take ripe, firm peaches, peel, cut from the seed if cling stones, break open if free stones. Quarter or cut in slices, spread in the sun. The peelings may be left on if desired; the product of course is not so fine. Pears: peel, core, slice and dry the same as recommended for peaches. Apples: peel core, quarter or slice and dry the same as recommended for peaches. Cover container to protect from insects and vermin. When preparing brined corn and beans for cooking, soak in cold water for 1 or 5 hours, changing water frequently to remove salt before cooking. Saucr Kraut: -Select mature, sound I heads of cabbage. Wash, quarter and shred cabbage. Weigh cabbage. Use one-fourth pound of salt to It) pounds of cabbage. .Mix salt and shredded cabbage thoroughly before packing. Pack firmly but not too tightly into stone crocks or kegs. When the container is nearly full cover with clean cloth and a board cover or plate. Place a weight heavy enough to cause the brino to ?come up over cover. In warm weather it requires 8 to 10 days for proper fermentation. A scum forms on the surface of the brine, which should be skimmed off from time to time. After fermentation is complete, set container in cool place. Remove scum, pour a layer of hot paraffin over the surface. Properly applied to a clean surface, this seals crock or keg and protects contents from contamination. If glass jars are available, pack accordingly. Place kraut in kettle with some of its juice. Heat to boiling .point. Pack in jars, add enough of the hot brine to cover or add a weak brine made by adding 1 ounce of salt to a quart of hot water. Fill jars with hot kraut. Seal. Process quart jars for 40 minutes, counting time after water begins to boil. These instructions are also applicable to No. 3 tin cans. When Charles Fisher, 68, appeared in a court at Denver, Col., on a charge of manslaughter, having killed Walter Sanford, 38, a street beggar, by knocking him down with his fist, fracturing his skull, the judge told the prisoner, "You did a good job." The court sentenced Fisher to 30 days, making the sentence retroactive, as he had already been in jail nearly 30 days. Sanford approached the old man and asked for four bits to buy a bottle of "moon". Fisher said he had *o money and was on relief. Sanford grabbed him by the arm and then Fisher struck him. Claytn Stone, 14, a Boy Scout of Fresno, Cab, accused by a semi-conscious woman of having attacked her, has been dismissed.

Blake! ly; thirty-four, member of the Laurens county board of commissioners, was arrested at his Clinton homo today on u warrant charging him with robbing the South Carolina State bank at Fountain Inn of $1,500. Deputy sheriff Dick Richardson and L. P. Whitfield, a detective, quoted Miss Mary McDowell, assistant cashier of the bank, as identifying Blukely as the lone bandit who walked into the bunk lobby Tuesday afternoon,^ locked her in the vault and scooped up the cash. The warrant on which Blakely was i arrested charged him with committing the robbery, and also "bringing stolen money .into Laurens county." After his a rest, he was brought here to be questioned by officers and detectives. Blakely denied any knowledge whatever of the crime, saying that ut the time the robbery was committed he was eating lunch at his home in Clinton. NRA has created an industrial appeals board for the special protection of small business against monopolies. Amos J. Peaslee, a New York attorney, is to be chairman of the board which will bo organize# August 1st. This appeal board is the outgrowth of criticisms by Clarence Darrow to the effect that the NRA codes were creating monopolies that threatened to wipe out small business concerns. nmmmmtemmpmmBmmmmmmmi-amexmmmtmim Hot Weather Bad On Boll Weevils ?< V / Clemson College, July 16.-?That the hot weather is holding the weevil in cheek over most of the state is indicated in reports from county agents j for the past week. In the Pee Dee section where in-, testations now average less than three per cent, a slight increase in infestation has been noted, the reports show. The greatest decrease in Infestation,, occurred in the southwestern portion of the state where infestations as high as 50 per cent, were reported, though most of the agents report infestations of 14 per cent or less in this area, s I The greatest increase occurred in the lower Piedmont counties" just above the Sandhill belt where infestations slightly exceed 10 per cent. In the upper Piedmont counties, it is significant to note that overwintering weevils are still present and that much cotton is not yet too far advanced for application 'of sweetened . poison. Farmers are advised by W. C. Nettles, .extension entomologist, to keep a close check on individual fields and begin dusting when 10 per cent of the squares are punctured and repeat at live-day intervals as often as is necessary to keep the weevil under control. Usually three applications in series are sufficient. In upper Piedmont counties many farmers may still apply the 1-1-1 mixture profitably, he states. Elizabeth Walton, 10f had her head cut off when she ran in front of an express train at Whitford, Pa. The Great 'Salt Lake of Utah is said to be approaching its lowest point?and saltiest?on record. If the drouth continues it is expected the water level will fall below former records by November. * ' "I ~ ?

We found out what car owners wanted most in a tire?then we gave it to them. Out of more than ten million visitors to the Firestone Factory at the^World's Fair last year, we obtained this opinion: "Give us Blowout Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear, at a Moderate Price." That was a large order, and the price part of it was our biggest problem. We said to ourselves: "Surely, if millions of people could get the tire they wanted, they would BUY!" We could see volume production . . . resulting in unbelievably low prices ? and savings for millions of car owners who wanted the safety, long wear, and dependability of a first quality tire, at a price that would permit them to replace not only one tire hut all four tires. So we built the greatest tire ever made to sell at these low prices. Then the wave of buying started?car owners from Coast to Coast bought ? not just one or two tires ? but complete sets!
