Harris, a World war veteran, had I heen going with Miss Sinlth for about I two years. About a month ago, Mrs. I Hiiuiman said last night, the girl I wrote Harris a letter, telling him that I sin* had decided to break off with him. Mrs. Hlndman said that the girl I had shown- her the letter she had I written Harris, in which she told 'him I that sho did. not think she wus old enough to marry and reminded Harris I thai ho was old enough to be her I Yesterday afternoon Miss Smith I was called to Mrs. Hlndman's home I to stay with her while Mrs. HindI man's mother went up town on busiI ness. Mrs. Hlndman has been ill for I about two weeks and the girl freI i|iiently stayed with her when no one was at home. I The girl was at Mrs. Hlndman's, I left to see Harris, who came to her I home and later returned, accompan ied by Harris. The Smith girl introI duced Harris to Mrs. Hlndman and her mother, Mrs. Surah Watson. Harris and tl\e tsirl nut in the room with Mrs. Htndman and her mother for houio time, then, when Harris buid that lie wanted to talk to ltuby alone, the couple wont into the kitchen, which adjoins Mrs. Hindman's room. After Mrs, Watson had (tone, Mrs. Hlndmau called ltuby to prepare some medicine for her and the girl told Harris to come on in the room with them if he wished to talk further. JWothjjMrf, HJndiiwu said, were talk tug in normal tones with uo indication of a quarrel. When Harris ttntt caiua to the Smith girl's home, she was at Mm, Hindman's but went to her own home after being called by her mother and told that Harris wanted to see her. She and Hurris then returned to Mrs. Hindman's. The girl's mother said that Harris had been trying to see her for some time, but that ,ltuby t would have nothing to do with him. Harris told the girl's mother yesterday when he came to the house that | he had a job in North Carolina and hud come by to tell ltuby goodbye. The mother hourd the shots and ran to her daughter, but the young girl was already dead when her mother reached her Bide. Coroner John A. Sargeant was ^lied to the scene and arrived before the ambulance. He directed the work of removing the couple to the hospital. He announced that an inquest would not be held. Detective P. W.

None of Harris* relatives had been contacted last night. He was said to have been making his home on route No. 2, on the Broad ltlver road. Harris turned to Mrs. Hlndman and told her "I love that girl and she has madb a fool of me." Mrs. Hlndman said that Ruby replied that she hadn't made a fool of him and that she had tried to break off with him several times. She said, Mrs. Hlndman continued, that Bhe was not old enough to get married and told Harris that he was old enough to be her father. She also told him that " if anyone has made a fool of you, you have made one of yourself," and laughed. She added that there was no reason for Harris to act "foolish." Harris then went back into the kitchen and called the girl, who was reclining 011 the foot of Mrs. Hindman's bed. The girl at first did not go Into the kitchen, but after Harris had said, "I have one more thing to tell you and then I'll never bother you again," she went back into the kitchen. Mrs. Hlndman said that the next words that she heard were Ruby telling Harris that she would not kiss him. "I have tried to be decent with you." Mrs. Hlndman quoted her as saying. Then, Mrs. Hlndman continued, she heard Ruby say, "Don't pull your chair up in my face," and that Harris replied that he wanted to look at her. "You must think I am pretty," Mrs. Hindm&n said the girl replied. "I think you are beautiful," Harris was Baid to have answered. ' Then, Mrs. Hlndman said, she heard the Smith girl say, "Doft't shoot me!" and then heard a Bhot ring out. Mrs. Hindman said she heard the girl scream. As three other shots followed, Mrs. Hindman said she ran from the house. When neighbors reached the kitchen, they found the girl's- body sprawled on the floor, with Harris' body lying across her feet. The girl apparently was dead and Harris had a bullet wound In the right temple. Both were rushed to the Columbia hospital. The girl was not living when she reached the hospital, but Harris lived two hours and a half.

Farm Electrification Marches On The Edison Electric Institute reports that 44,480 new farm electric customers were gained by the power industry during 1935. This compares ??#? with u gain of 30.400 for 1034, and brings the total number of electrified farms to 788,795?12 1-2 per cent of Mill farina In the country New Hamp ahlre baa the highest percentage of electrified farina, with 68 per cent Connecticut, New Jersey, Utah and California each luyve 60 per cent. Viewed an a practical matter, the lnatitute says. the record la really much better thun the atatlatlca allow. Forty per cent of the 6,000,000 farma In thin-nation have dwelling* valued at lean than $600--400,000 farina have no dwellings on them at all. Karma of thin character are obvtoualy not in! the market for power at any price, aa la emphasized by the fact thatj 160,000 farma now reached by power line* do not take service, The Industry estimates tliat the nilleage of rural line to ho built in 1936 will be double that of 1935. The increuae in farma served will be about 50 per cent, greater than the 1935 Increase, aa much of the new mileage will bo constructed in leaner territory. These figures show definitely that farm electrlfllcatlon la making progress In the United States?sound, economic and pormuiieuL progress.

Although considered a nuisance by bathers, the kelp supplies more than forty drugs, a definite control for two widespread human diseases and feeds which incro&so the slse, weight and output of both chickens and cattle. It is estimated there are 100,000 tons of the better varieties of kelp available In the marine farms, with 3,000 acres ready for cuttting along the Southern California shore. Two of the principal products are Iodine, Important for treatment of goitre, and a meal which is used by both humans and animals.
