Man Slays Woman;
I Then Kills Himself
(Tuesday's Columbia State)
Miss Huby Sinlth, 17, of 608 Sumter
street, high ^'hool student, was in.
I stantly killed at 6:30 lust night, vie
tim of a spurned lover's Jealous rage,
while seated In the kitchen of Mrs.
Mary Jiindmau, 606 Bumter street,
* neighbor, talking to the man, whose
offer of marriage she had refused. The
I man, Gleuard Harris, about 38, died
at the Columbia hosplUl at 9 o'clock
I from a self-inflicted bullet wound
through the temple fired a few secI
ondn after he had sent the girl to her
death w)th three bullet wounds In her
I head and face.
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.
Knox and Sgt. L. J. Campbell also
assisted in the investigation.
No funeral plans had been made
last night for either victim of the
double tragedy. Both bodies wore
at the Dunbar Funeral home.
Miss Smith is survived by her fa.-:

Malvern Hill Club
The Malvern Hill Home Deinonstra
lion Club whu delightfully entertain- j
ed by Mrs. Henry Muun, when it met
at her home on Friday afternoon.
March 27. The meeting watt called to
order by the president, Mr*. Clifton
Smith, who wua welcomed back alter
being; absent at lust months meeting.
Mrs. J. H. Sinclair read the Devotional
and "Carolina" was sung. The
ipinutes were read and approved; the
roil cait answered with a favorite
song- Niuety pef cent attendance was
attained at this meeting. Reports were
made by chairmen from the Agriculture,
Finance and CitUoushlp committees.
A general discussion was held
in regards to legislation and the county
delegatioji. Plans for a booth at
the County Fair were also discussed
by club members. Two songs entitled,
"There's A Way Of Cleaning Silver."
and "Throw Away Useless
Utensils," were sung, which proved
both amusing and Helpful.
Business ovpr, Miss Fewell gave a
very interesting tulk on "Healthful
Kitchens." The kitchen, she explain
ed, being the most important part of
the household, should be kept us sanitlier
and mother, two brothers and
one sister. 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.
Harris Was Known Here
The above from Tuesday's State,
will be read with interest here where
Harris resided for about one year before
going to Columbia. He at one
time conducted the Ix>g Cabin filling
station on the Camden-Columbia highway.
Wednesday's State says of him:
"Harris was at first thought to be
a World war veteran, but it was
learned yesterday that he was not.
When he was taken to the hospital
papers were found In his pocket indicating
th*t he was a veteran, but it
developed that he had been employed
for some time In the government service,
first as resident engineer of the
soil erosion service in Kershaw county
and later as field man with the
South Carolina Rural Electrification
authority."
His body waB brought to Camden
at noon on Wednesday where the funeral
was held from the Lyttleton
Street Methodist church and the bur
ial was In the Quaker cemetery.

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. Aa
we recover from depression the extension
of service to farina will
j naturally be greatly accelerated. The
farm presents a tremendous potential
market for tho electric Industry?and
It Is doing everything possible to develop

Farming the Sea For
Foods and Medicines
Candy, pick Ion, relishes, bread, Jollies
ami JaniH, flour, sandwich spruad,
poultry food, but tor, moat sauco, stock
food and medicines are being made
from a common wood that grows In
the sea off the Pacific coast.
In Alaska alone 100 forms of food
are produced from kelp. From Nome
to the Tteflhg Bon tho natives have ? ?
developed dishes to eat with their
diet of llsh, while the Indians south
of Cordova oat kotp extensively. ?
The sea farms producing kelp aro
never threatened with drouth. Operators
of the self-propelled barges And
that the more they cut, the faster dods
the weed grow. Tho greatest and most
prollflc beds are those of the giant
kelp, Macrycystls pyrlfora.
Ingenious automatic machinery enters
the harvesting. A barge, some
hundred feet long and thirty feet
wide, moves Into u bed. Underwater
knives slice off the tops and an end*
less bolt gathers them up, carries
them aboard the barge and dumps
thorn 011 deck.
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.
Kelp, when served as a green food,
has a piquant flavor much like water
cress. When It 1b dehydr&tod before
serving, It Is often cooked with meat
or fish and served as a dressing or
B&uce. When mixed with other Ingredients
it makes a delicious sandwich
spread of distinctive flavor.

"My
TERRAPLANE
doos more than most cars claim"
"It's 'fops' of alt the cars I've ever owned/'
IN our showroom, "owner talk" means more than
"sales talk." We're content to let claims take a
back seat while owners give you facts.
On performance, you needn't take the word of
anyone but the man who knows how much easier his
Terraplane handles in traffic . . . how much better it
takes straight-aways or curves . .. how much faster it
is on the get-away. His economy figures talk louder
than any salesman's claims ... even ours! He can tell
you facts about Terrajplane's long life that would
sound boastful if we said them.
But even a Terraplane owner can't put into words
just what it means to sit at the wheel of this car and
drivel With the Electric Hand shifting the gears,
your hands stay always on the wheel. Just a flick of
the finger . . . and gears shift! And your front floor
is all clear . . . Terraplane is the only low priced car
with real comfort for three In the front seat? . . no
gear or brake levers to stumble over! 4k .ox
Steering is truer. There's an amazing riding
smoothness. At the brake pedal, safer stopping than
you'll find in any other car, with two braking systems
at your command ... and still a third from the easiest
handling parking brake you ever saw. You ride over
the world's first safety engineered chassis ... in a body
really all of steel, with solid roof of seamless
steel. On every side, something new to discover and
qnjoy. Stop in now and take this "Discovery Drive"
. . . see for yourself what a change Terraplane has
made in motoring.
