Virginia likewise reported generally more favorable crop prospects ttH of .June 1 although cool weather retarded the growth of corn, cotton and peanuts. Hay prospects were regarded us very good with a possibility of reduced wheat yield as a result of rust. North Carolina reported Its tobacco crop as "mighty good in sections but spotted in others."

Two Men Killed In Mill Strike Rioting Union, June 19.?Two men were shot to death an<| a l&*yearol<l hoy wounded today in strike rioting at tho Monarch plant hero of the Monarch' Mills company. A. L. Stints, t?3, employe of tho mill's card room force, and W. U. Franklin, Q7, ? magistrate's constable, were killed. George Tucker, Ifi, a bystander, wan wounded In the leg. j the bullet partially severing a tendon Just above the ankle. The rioting broke out as the textile mill chunked ahlfta at the noon hour. A part of the force of 800 went on strike last night and as those who worked duriug the forenoon left tho plant through picketing atrlkers, several fist fights began. In a few minutes there, was a general melee, broken by the sound of shots. The battlers fled, leaving Htutte and Franklin lying dead. Both men had been killed Instantly. Stutts was shot through the left chest and Franklin through tho left side. No one could give a clear story of the shooting, but Hhoriff James G. Faucett said he hud received two accounts. One wuh that Stutts was killed by Franklin and that George Royaler, a special policeman for the mill, killed Franklin. Tho other was that Roystor killed both men, accidentally, hitting Stutts In shooting at Franklin. No charges were preferred against Royster Immediately. Crowds gathered ubout the mill again a few minutes after the rioting and angry threats were shouted at the special policeman who was In the mill building. The plant closed down and Sheriff Faucett ordered all liquor shops in Union to close. He acted upon orders of Governor Olin D. Johnston In closing the liquor shops. Coroner George Noland suid an inquest would be held, but did not immediately set a time for It. Stutts was said to be one of those who went to work In the plant this morning despite the walkout early last night which caused the mill to shut down until this morning. The plant whistles blew as usual this morning and a part of the force went to work while the strikers congregated outside and formed picket lines. The opening was without disorder, hut the situation was tense and Sheriff Faucett by telephone had asked Governor Olin D. Johnston to suggest to mill officials that they close the plant. The governor was in conversation with the mill office at the time of the shooting. Reports from Columbia said the shots were heard over the telephone by the chief executive. He advised he was coming here immediately to make a personal investigation. A demand from workers that a new employe be fired and another man taken on. which was refused by the management, precipitated the walkout, tjie strikers said. First to leave were 2 a employes of the spinning room. Other workers joined them this morning and the strikers said the plant opened with less than half a normal force. Weevil Interest Shifts Upstate | Clemson College. June 17.?Since j most of the cotton iy (lie Coastal secI Hon is now rapidly passing the size ' when applications of sweetened pois| on. might be ipplied, interest and activity in weevil control center in the I'icdmont section where in certain counties considerable interest is ! shown. One Piedmont county agent reports that in to :">() machines for the application of sweetened poison were purchased by farmers in his county during the past rwo weeks. Fstiroafes by county agents of the acreage receiving applications of ....... , . it H ?- l I >: > I I I I Ct" lourths of otn- per cent in so no- of 'h? Coastal counties to as high us 50 per cent in otic Piedmont county where heavy losses were sustained during 1934. Square infestations are generally reported in the Coastal section. In some instances exceeding in |H>r cent. Several agents report that fanners lixve reconditioned dusting machines and have already applied dnst to fields having a large" percentage of pant tured squares. Since weevil intestations are often localized, farmers are advised by W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, to make square counts so that they may dust if conditions justify. To use more than four to six pounds of calcium arsenate dust per acre for each application is unwise, Mr. Nettles warns. To exceed this recommended amount may oaqse severe plant louse infestation and injury to the lighter soils. Information on weevil control may he found in Kxtension Circular 104, "Boll Weevil Control." Two Boys Killed By Lightning Greenville. June 19.?John Pershing Odom, 17, and Willie Odom. his 12 year-old brother, wore killed in the Lebanon section or Greenville county by lightening yesterday. The bolt struck a tree near a well where the boys were watering two mules. The hoys were sons of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Odom. Lighening which struck the Odom home fourteen years ago killed two other children. ?^i NOTICE OF SALE ? u - L 1? Notice la hereby given that the undersigned, J. II.

The top photo shows the ship itself?the largest floating object In the world? picture on the left was taken in France, just before sailing; It shows hundreds of barrels of marine oil D - H taken aboard to lubricate the ship's 160,000 horsepower motors?enough to propel ten average ships# on ? right is shown the prow of the ship In drydock. NEW YORK CITY (Special)? When the Normandio steamed into New York harbor this week after breaking every trans-Atlantic mart- i timo speed record, it meant that the dream of ship designers and en- ! gineers had at last come true. For here is a ship that is the largest moving object in the world ?and it had proven Itself, both from a standpoint of speed and operating economy, to be everything its designers had hoped. Amazing Size To give an idea of the amazing slzo of the ship: j The 160,000 horsepower which her | dynamos dovelop would bo enough j to propel ten average ships. She has a generating capacity suf- j flctent to supply all electricity needs for & city the size of Boston. It would bo enough to operate 140,000 radio stations; or to drive 100 steam locomotives; or light more than 5,000,000 lamps! Yet this entire power plant 4&* pends on a film of oil less than one fiftieth of an Inch thick to lubricate I the huge shafts which literally float a total horsepower equal to that of 2,000 automobiles driven at top speed. Thus America played a part In the success of the Normandie, for the ship is lubricated by SoconyVacuum?the same company which makes the Moblloil that ia used by American motorists. Turbo-Electric Motors Tho Norrrtandic's engines are of the turbo-electric type. Huge boilers manufacture steam which, In turn, is harnessed for the manufacture Of electrictty. Purring electric motors turn four twenty-threeton propellers of gleaming bronze alloy. The important task assigned to tho power plant can best be realized by visualizing a moving object which would fill Times 8quaro and, if miraculously transported to Fifth Avenue, would crush the facades of tho buildings on either side and extend from Forty-Second to Forty-Sixth Streets. Tho NoTmandlo stood on end alongside the EmpW? State Building would tower to eighty-sixth floor. Yet this great mass was able 1? I average 29.6 knots on her trans-Ai- I lantlc voyage, so fast that a trip* I leas than five days can be assured I and a four-day crossing become * H common experience. Three of th? I fastest ships in the French LI0* I service have been required in the past to maintain the weekly ings in both directions between the United States and France, but tvro ships of the Normandie typo could I j maintain this weekly service wi?. I ease. * Miles of Carpets j Statisticians checking up on tM Bj Normandle's vital data will An' j themselves hopelessly entangled? a | superlatives?ten miles of carpe^j 2.000 miles of electrle wiring, 30.
