South Carolina Men Come Into Limelight Orangeburg, Sept. 2*3.?Twice with* in recent months South Carolinians have played important roles in bring-# ir.g solutions of crimes, of national importance, hirst it was a South Carolinian who engineered the cap* ture of John Diilinger in Chicago, and j now it is Walter Lyle, a South Carolinian, who deserves.* the credit for the arrest of Bruno Robert cJIauptmann, the alien German in New York, as the recipient of the Lindbergh baby kidnap ransom money. * The day follow ing the "break" in this famous case, Lyle was the proud possessor of $iuti and a day off from work, both given him by his employer for the part he had played in leading to the arrest by'the police in this case. Lyle has bee nemployed for some time as manager of a Filling station in New York. He is a native South Carolinian, having been born and reared in Cheraw. His father was a native of that place and his mother was from the vicinity of Newberry. The death of two persons and the serious illness of six others in southwest Arkansas is attributed to the drinking of water from a poisoned well. A check up of hospitals in the j vicinity shows that 21 persons of Wheien Springs have applied for antidotes -for slow-acting poison, traces : of which were found in the well on the farm occupied by the family of B. B. Burnett. Fined $5 for a traffic offense and $15 for abusing an officer, W. J. Collins at New Haven, Conn., pulled a $2o hill from his pocket and flung it or. the desk of the court clerk. Then ' the judge said: "Look in that pocket and see if you can find 10 days in jail jal-o." He Was sent to jail for con! tempt of court. "Pretty Boy" Floyd Outwits Uncle Sam N'otuhc* on the gums, of federal J agent* account for the passing of, John DUlinger and Clyde Barrow, notorious outlaws, but Charles <Pretty Boy) Floyd still defies the law from his haunts in the Oklahoma hills. So far the arm of law and order has been helpless in it* attempts to capture Floyd, who is credited with a long string of killings and bank robberies. Hi* present hideout seem.-: .impregnable. Th^jUklahoma hills arc a safe hiding place for^JNuyd because the natives are his friends and refuse to give any cooperation to authorities. They are protecting Floyd not only because he's a hero to them but al- I so because he always leaves behind him a plentiful supply of provisions \ and cash. Many believe that only a $25,000 reward-?similar to the one offered for Dillinger?will bring Floyd bdfore tHF' guns of federal agents. It will take a sun) as large as that to tempt his friends in the hills to betray him. Floyd, who now is 20, b^gftn his career of crime in 1025, when he and a companion pulled a payroll job in St. Ivouis. He served three years in j prison for that act and came out de- j termined to follow a life of crime. He became associated with gangsters m Kansas City, Mo., and acquired a "moll," pretty Beulah Baird. With two others, Floyd started out early in 1030 on a bank robbing career. One of his companions, Jim Bradley, shot a policeman at Akron, O., and went to the electric chair, and Floyd faced with a 15-year prison term, cscapv-d by leaping" from the window of a moving train. Floyd eventually was shunned by fellow-criminals because he acquired a reputation for letting his pals take it on the nose wrhile he sneaked away. That forced his return to the Oklahoma hills, where he has been hiding since 1932. William Green, president of the' Federation of Labor, declares that the unemployed in August totaled 10,834,- j 000 persons, a gain over July of 40.- { 000. He docs not expect any perma- ; nent improvement this fall. A policeman of Birmingham, Ala..1 has been suspended for "conduct unbecoming an officer." His offense was helping boys pull some planks from the fence of the state fair grounds and turning his back while they slipped through. -i South Carolina Hanks High "California, tS^~land of eternal sunshine!" Travel folders have proclaimed it, tourists ha\e exclamied it and neaily everyone has heard the statement at some time or another enthusiastically uttered by some" excited resident as the climax to his discourse on the superb climate of his, the "sunshine state." The coffers of Florida are likewise heavy with wealth derived from the purses of the suiwhine-keeking tourist who, when King Winter sends his icy blasts hovyling out of the northlands, hops inta rhe ole' family bus and points the headlights South. The annual migrations have been going on for years and now it is sud- 1 denly revealed that SouVh ( arolina, i too, fas that "pot of goldj" J If reputed true, facts and cold figures mean anything to the toying public of North Carolina and SoiK^C Carolina, their ranks are due for a pruning this winter because, accord- ^ ing to a "sunshine map," issued by * an Arizonia hotel, which illustrates the average amount of sunshine received ip various states throughput the union, the sister .states exceed** California and equal FldHda in the percentage of actual sunshine received in the course of a year. At least that's the way Col. J. M. Johnson of { the civil engineering firm of Johnson ^ and Roberts of Marion, has it figured out. i t Mr. Johnson, who sent the "sun-; shine map," considers the fact "most surprising." It may also prove most disillusioning to a great number of | people who, for some inexplicable.^ reason, think of California and Florida as fragments of paradise set just a little beyond their reach. They lis- j ^ ten to the stories of their more fort- j unate neighbors who have made the trip to either of the playground states, something after the fashion: that Marco Polo's audiences must J have assumed when he told those en- j trancing tales of his remarkable travels in the mysterious and fabulously j wealthy Fast. Statistics accompanying the "sun- j shine map" were taken from reports. ^ made by the United States weather jj bureau. * j According to the map. the sunniest ^ -tate in the union is Arizona. In j some parts of the state the sun shines >0 to 00 per cent of the time. The next states highest in percentage are ( New Mexico and Colorado, with sun-,, shine in some portions 70 to 80 per ! cent of the year and 60 to 70 per cent j ir. other parts. North and South Carolina come in the next group highest in percentage, of sunshine. I 'c The coast of the Carolinas from < Charleston to the northern boundary ^ of North Carolina has sunshine 60 to t 70 per cent of the time. Farther iri- < land the percentage drops to 50 to 1 60 per cent. In the northwest corner (( of South Carolina, in the vicinity of t Greenville, the percentage of sun-. < shine falls to 40 to 50 per cent. j i The 60-70 percentage holds true in! Florida with the exception of the; i northern part where the percentage j < is 50 to 60. I ( In California the high 'percentage | < attained by South Carolina is only I reached on that part of the western 1 coast which extends from the north- v ern boundary of Lower California to t a distance a few miles north of Los j s Angeles and inland for about 2001 S miles. Some parts of the "sunshine I i state" drops as low as 30 to 40 per ' t cent, which is far lower than the 1 lowest percentage reached in South I ^ Carolina.?Columbia State. Plan To Feed All ; Of State's Needy' Columbia,' Sept. 20.?Needy South: Carolinians will not go hungry this j t winter if state FERA officials have < t their way. 11 Iredell Jones, state distributor of; e commodities for the FERA, said bills jS of lading have been received from d western packers for 1,250,000 cans t of roast beef and 1,500,000 pounds j a of fresh meat for distribution to the r needy in the state. i t Jones also said additional orders h have been sent FERA officials fn c Washington for approximately 12 c cars of fresh veal, 70 cars of fresh j beef, four cars of fresh mutton, 20' cars of canned beef, and 10 cars of y canned mutton. Other commodities order, the re- a lief" officials said, included 25 cars of butter. 175,000 yards of sheeting, h 100,000 yards of bed ticking and 100,- / 000 yards of toweling. In addition, Jones asserted, the approximately 105.000 cattle brought ?' into the state from the drought- s, stricken western areas this summer _ are to be slaughtered and distributed to the state's indigent as fresh and canned meat. e The next eueharistic congress of n the Catholic church is to be held at is Buenos Aires, Argentine.
