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.

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 ^

Iredell Jones, state distributor of; e

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

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.

Monument To
s Be Repaired
Preparatory to the general *exterior
repair owork, which has been started
on the Washington Monument, 600
tons of steel tubing will be requited
for scaffolding. Platforms for use of
the workers will be built 6 1-2 'fat
apart throughout the height of the
Monument.
, Worked out by modern engineering
methods, the great weight of scaffolding
metal set up to the full height
of the 555-foot monument, will rest
on steel tubes whicn will be set together
in such a way that not mors
than 8 1-2 tons will nest on any on*
of the 76 posts which make up the
base of fhe scaffolding structure, Dt-1
partment of the Interior engineers
say.
, When the scaffolding reaches ?
height of 150 feet the work of repairing
the structure will begin. The
cleaning job comes last and will start
from the top -and work downward
It is estimated the entire job will require
110 days and will cost $100,00t
