SEVERAL DEAD
BY OLD FARRIS
Taylor Family Nearly Wiped
Out by The Acts of a
Crazy Man
SUPPLY OF GUN SHELLS
Community is Incensed at the
Act of Farris?No
Lynching Talk
On the afternoon of September
6th, following a quarrel among the
children of the Taylor and Ferris
families, living on opposite sides o)
the street, at Clover, a mill village,
about ten miles from York, S. C.,
old man Ferris got his shot gun ana
proceeded to shoot up the entire
Taylor family by tiring into them as
he stood on his own porch.
Several members of the Taylor
family were rushed to the hospital
at Gastonia, N. C., in an effort to
save their lives.
It was an awful affair and wa.
a shock to that entire section of
South Carolina.
A news dispatch from York, S.
C., dated last Thursday, following
up the enactment of this desperate
I deed, sfcys:
"Fighting Bill" Ferris' total of
victims in his slaughter of the Taylor
family at Clover, ten miles north
of here yesterday afternoon, reached
three this morning when Miss Lela
Taylor, sixteen, died in a Gastonia,
N. C., hispital. Her brother, Newton,
the second victim, died on the
operating table about 7 o'clock last
night.
It was reported at the hospital
tonight that Fred Taylor, twentytwo,
had a fighting chance for recovery.
Little Dolly Taylor, ten, is
only slightly wounded, having been
shot in her arm. Miss Gertrude
Taylor was returned home from the
hospital today.
The bodies of Clause Johnson,
twenty, a cousin of the Taylors, who
was killed instantly when Ferris
opened fire on the Taylor home
yesterday, and his two cousins were
buried this afternoon. \
At the inquest this morning
verdict was returned holding Karris
responsible for the death of the
trio.
Tom Perry, star eye-witness to
the tragedy, said that he and Far
ris opened one of the shells, of
which Farris had an abundant supply
on Sunday, and counted fifteen
buckshot in it.
Friends of Farris were busy at
York and Clover today spre^im^
propaganda, seeking to create the
impression that the man was crazy
at the time of the shooting. According

eye with a gun barrel.
While Clover people arc naturally
incensed over the crime there Una
oeen nine or no talk of lynching,
and it is felt that Farris would be
as safe in the county Jail as in tlie
penitentiary. !
Farris has been marned three
times and has children by each
marriage. His older children, v ho
live at Clover and Sharon, are regarded
as good citizens.
SURPRISE CONTESTS IMPROVE
QUALITY OF MILK DELIVERED
Surprise milk contests?contests in
which the milk sold by various dealers
in a city is compared by taking
samples occasionally without warning?have
been very effective in improving
the milk supply of many
cities. Contests of this kind carried
out with the assistance of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have shown remarkable results in
a number of western cities. The
bacterial counts and the total milk
scores for the cities were made up !
from the results of tests of samples
from each of the delivery systems.
In Long Beach, Calif., the average (
bacterial count in the first contest
was 118,288; in the last contest it
was down to 11,823. In the first
the average score of the milk sold
there was 71.56, and in the last it Jl
was up to 90.67. The milk sold in |
Riverside, Calif., improved in bacterial
count from 101,500 to 8,522,
and rose in score from 82.93 to
93.63. Los Angeles dealers, as a
result of these surprise contests,
made great improvement in the quality
of the milk supply, bringing
down the count from 84,1(39 to 12,690
and raising the score from 80.60 to
91.65. The figures for Portland,
Ore., changed from 148,490 to 13,970,
and from 76.19 to 92.52. The number
of bacteria in a cubic centimeter
of Seattle milk was brought from
64,124 down to 31,297, and the |
score was lifted from 80.50 to 88.24
A milk dealer does not like to be
surprised with dirty milk on his
wagons, especially when the results =
of the tests are to be published i;i
the local papers. When his score
goes up he finds the number of his
customers going up; when the bacterial
count increases he finds an inestomc
