Surplus Poultry Moves To Market Columbia, Feb. 9.?During the last two weeks of January county agricultural agents, through cooperative carlot schedules, have moved approximately 160,000 pounds of poultry whieh have brought to the growers in 12 counties approximately $20,000, announces George E. Prince, chief of the Extension Division of,,Markets. Additional schedules are being operated in several counties during the first two weeks of February and Mr. Prince believes that by the end of February practically all of the counties having surplus poultry will have been served by these cooperative poultry sales. He e&tipoates that more than 350,000 pounds of poultry will have been moved in the period of one month, and states that schedules during this four-week period , moved more poultry than was moved iii a similar manner during all of 1234. Prices are considerably better in the Eastern markets and are more i$ line at the present time with local prices, which make sales of poultry through carlot schedules more attractive to the producers in 'South Carolh^ . . : * Starting in March, schedules will , be operated again and if there is I enough poultry offered, it is probable that additional schedules will be operated again in April. Choir Singer Goes To Prison For Bigamy Newton, Feb. 7.?William (Pete) Gibson pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy in superior court here and was sentenced to the state prison at hard labor for a period of not less than five nor more than seven years, by Judge F. Donald Phillips, of Rockingham. Gibson was married on Saturday before the last Christmas in (South Carolina to Miss Vera Yount, member ! of a prominent Newton family. It was later discovered that he had a wife and daughter living in Madison, where the .marriage took place about seven years ago. Gibson had been living in Newton for about two years, and had established himself in the social and religious life of the community. He was i active in the Sunday school being treasurer of his class, and was h member of the choir of the First Methodist church. He was located in Madison last week at the home of his father and brought to the Catawba county jail by officers Saturday night. He was arraigned Tuesday. Rev. Mahaffey Dead Rev. James Erwin Mahaffey, a well-known retired Methodist minisy ter, died at his home in Clinton after a long illness, aged 70 years. He was for 44 years an active and devoted minister of the Methodist church, holding assignments in a number of places in the Piedmont section of the state. Because of ill health he retired in 1930 and returned to Clinton with his family to spend the remaining years of his life, where he had his first conference appointment in 1886. ?He leaves four sons and three(daughters, besides his widow whty./vt&s Miss Mattie May Wingo, of ^artanburg county, where he himself was born. Sues Sheriff Mary Covington Heustis, of Bennettsville, has sued tjhe Sheriff of Hampton county on his bond, alleging that political motives caused him to fail to collect delinquent taxes, and hence she was not paid for teaching school in that county. The suit ihcluded all unpaid teachers in its result, and the supreme court has cited the sheriff, his bonding company, and other Hampton county officials to appear on February Id, to show cause why they have failed to pay teachers for 1931-32. . Committee Gets Data On Farms (frionj Saturday's Columbia .State) By enlarging the state farm, ope'ated in connection with the state penitentiary, and managing the enlarged area in the same general capable fashion as that now obtaining, the state penitentiary could be made arge y self-sustaining and money appropriated annually for the present Prison could be used in constructing a new state prison, without increase or the tax burden, according to the opinion of a committtee appointed to investigate the state farm. The state penitentiary and its crowded condition have come in for much comment during the present session of the legislature, and there have been several discussions of plans for improving conditions. A committee, consisting of R. I). McDonald, Oconee; J.-p. Isenhoweri 'airfield and J. A. Lofton, Oharles-1 ton, was appointed to investigate the farm ahd report to the house. Yesterday morning it made its report 'as rollows: "We found 1,515 acres of cultivated land on the farm, divided as follows: 600 acres of corn, 200 acres of wheat, 400 acres of oats, 100 acres of truck, b acres of sweet potatoes, 160 acres of cotton, and 30 acres of sorghum for syrup. f ??Und a large body of ???? fertile Wateree river bottom land, reasonably safe in times of floods. I his land has already been worked and harrowed, and is now ready to plant. The upland is sandy loam, all broken and in a high state of fertility. ~u ^oun<i 68 mules, six old mules have been sold, and ten young mules bought this year; 215 head of well cared for cattle; 300 pigs, hogs and shoat8 for 1934 meat supply; 120 h?5* have butchered this winter. We found on hand 7,000 bushels of corn, 250 tons of hay besides a quantity of oat and wheat straw, 6,000 gallon cans of tomatoes, and okra, besides a quantity of small cans. v "We found it supplied with ample barns, stables and out houses, a gin house, saw mill, cannery, shop, etc., two barracks to house 200 prisoners. These buildings are of brick, three stones, fire proof. The lower floors serve as dining room and recreational hall; the second and third stories, dormitories. The prisoners here are not locked in cells, but sleep on cots in these large halls?plenty of room and ventilation. "We feel safe in saying that thiB is the neatest, best cultivated farm in South Carolina. Bear in mind that this farm is managed by one man, Mr. Glenn, and judging from the appearance of the farm and the clocklike way things move, he is a wonder. "But your committee had in mind this question: What relation does this farm sustain to the penitentiary; in relieving congestion, contributing to the maintenance, does the farm pay? In order to answer these questions, we call your attention to the follow| ing facts: The legislature appropriates $96,000 for the maintenance of the penitentiary. Out of this must come: Personnel, salaries, guards and | employes, $56,000; power, lights, coal, I 30 cars, and water, $10,000; insurance with sinking funds, $6,000; fertilizer, 80 tons soda, 100 tons acid, and 30 tons potash, $6,000; miscellaneous, [including various supplies, $16,000; total $94,000. I "Here you have $1,000 left to feed 1,300 prisondgp 68 mules, 216 cattle, 300 hogs. Then, where does the food come from? The entire penitentiary population is fed grits twice a day, corn bread twice a day; 68 mules fed every day; and 120 hogs fattened; 300 fed for carry over. Now every grain of this corn comes from this farm, and still on hand 7,000 "bushels, and the 1934 crop cut in half by severe drought. The entire population is fed tomatoes and okra once every day; all this comes from the farm, and still on hand 6,000 gallons, after selling $800 worth to the State hospital and the 1934 crop was cut to about one-sixth by the severe drought. Once a day vegetables are served; nearly all this comes from the farm; 200 acres of wheat with average seasons will yield 15 bushels per acre; this means approximately 500 barrels of flour; 30 acres of sorghum will at least produce 30 barrels of syrup. One hundred and sixty acres of cot| ton produced 160 bales, which sold for 13 cents, here a cash income of nearly $10,000. This cash income is j increased considerably by selling othj er produce n?t needed on the farm? . cotton seed traded for meal, 2,600 Lgonnds of meal for a ton of seed. Every acre on this place suited to agriculture is now under cultivation, and the balance in pasture. "Your committee is of the opinion that if this farm could be enlarged, or another as large as this present one could be obtained by the state, land managed aa well aiUthls one, it would go a lopg way toward baking th* penitentiary eelf-mmlehiing; Another farm could supplement the food wiWr$is devote more nam ibl ifliiiiliin in tfti funfu,; jt iiioMt WW W. imU pUe. ^ Fire Destroys Clemson Dairy Clemson Col leg, Feb. 6.?Fire of undetermined origin tonight destroyed the dairy barn at Clemson college causing damuge estimated at between $30,000 and $36,000; All but three of the 175 cattle in the dairy were rescued. Cadets from the college fought the blaze and brought tWWs to safety. Four siflMl^l^re left standing, but the two wings vfid the center of the u-shaped bqllding were destroyed. About $5,000 wb*?h of feed was also lost. tentiary in such position that should your committee decide to build a new institution, after the Georgia plan, the annual payments could be made out of the regular appropriation for the penitentiary, without increasing the tax burden. "This would not only be a source of revenue, but would for the time being relieve congestion within the walls. Here we could probably use three or four hundred prisoners for two years at least. Buildings would have t? be erected, pastures built, clearing land, roads constructed, ditching, etc., all this necessary in bringing the farm into the proper state of cultivation. Thus another farm could be included in the cost of the new penitentiary, and bo managed that the penitentiary out of its regular appropriation can pay for its own new home. "We cannot close this report without" expressing our appreciation to Colonel Scarborough and Captain Glenn for the courtesies and hospitalities shown us for their open, honest, willingnefca to answer every question, and show us everything." Sumter Woman Kills Her Husband i/ouis Myers, middle-aged white man, died at the Tuomey Hospital shortly before midnight- last night from a pistol shot wognd indicted by his wife at their home in Shannon Town, southeast of the city limits Friday afternoon. Rurul Officers Dollard and City Officer Cummings were called to the Myers home shortly after 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They found Myers lying in the back yard with a pistol shot wound in his side. He was taken to the Tuomey Hospital where' he died last night. Mrs. Myers told the officers hef husband came home drunk and attacked her, pushing her into the back yard. She fired at him twice, she said, one of the shots striking him in the side. Two months ago Myers shot ami killed Joseph iBrown, following a quarrel at Myers' home. He used the ' same pistol with which his wife shot him yesterday. A coroner's jury, however, cleared Myers of blame in the killing of Brown on the ground of self-defense.?(Saturday's iSuanter Item.
