HARDING SNUB
ANGERS LEADER
Pittsburgh.?That bitter antagonism
has developed among leaders of
the Republican party in the Keystone
State because of President Harding's
failure to consult Pennsylvania Senators
and Representatives before making
appointments in and from this
State is asserted, following the information
of the Pennsylvania bloc in
Atlantic City last week.
The bloc has the indorsement of
Senators George Wharton Pepper and
David A. Heed. It is no secret here
among influential politicians that
President Harding's method of distributing
patronage has weaned from
him many Keystone State leaders who
will wield a strong influence' on the
personnel of the next Presidential
nominating delegation from this
Srtate.
While in Pittsburgh last week,
Senator Pepper consulted some of the
political lesser lights and then voiced
disapproval, it is said, of the appointment
of Alexander P. Moore, former
publisher of the Pittsburgh Leader.
Ambassador to Spain.
It is asserted the appointment was
made to please United States Senator
Hiram Johnson, of California, one of
the Progressive leaders, and the Pennsylvania
Senators were ignored. They
did not have the slightest intimation
that Moore was to be appointed, and
the first information they had was
when Moore's name was presented for
confirmation the day before Congress
adjourned.
Other minor appointments were
made by the President, it is charged,
without consulting the United States
Senators, but these were permitted to
pass without any protest being made.
The selection of Moore as Ambassador.
however, stirred the leaders to
action.
Pennsylvania may support Harding
at the next national convention for
renomination. but he may not have
the solid support of the delegation. It
;?11 depends upon how patronage is
distributed during the next year. The
forming of the bloc is a warning that
the political laeders of the State cannot
be ignored with impunity.

RICH MAN GETS I
A MURDER TERM
Millionaire Harry G. Brock
Killed Others With
Automobile
FORCES SARDONIC GRINS
Drunk When he Drove in the
Crowd and Killed
Three
Harry G. Brock, millionaire society
leader, occupies a cell in the Eastern
Penitenitary in Philadelphia, Pa., as
a numbered felon, confessed murderer
of an elderly woman, her son
and a girl. Brock, a member of the
brokerage firm of Sinkler & Brock,
will continue a prisoner for six to
ten years, if the sentence of Judge
Audenreid is carried out.
Although sentence called for solitary
confinement, that form of imprisonment
is no longer enforced.
Brock probably will be given clerical
work in prison.
Pale, but composed, Brock calmly
pleaded guilty to a general charge of
murder. He is the first automobilist
in this country to be convicted of
murder after a crash. On the stand
he said he had no recollection of the
accident, which happened in the early
morning of March 2.
Following sentence he was allowed
to go home and bid farewell to his
bed-ridden mother, telling her the
"trouble" he was in had been punished
only by a sentence of twelve
months. Until lately his mother did
not know of her son's predicament.
The three persons whose death
Brock admitted he caused were Mrs.
Ellon O'Donnell, her son, Leo, and
Miss Mary Murphy. The three were
alighting from a street car at 45th
Street and Lancaster Avenue, when
Brock's new car, driven at high speed,
hit the*M, threw the three bodies more
than 100 feet and sped away.
Brock throughout the day in court
carried himself with extraordinary
composure. He looked straight ahead
and only showed a change of countenance
when he was greeted by two
vounsr women and a young man who
smiled. He returned a forced greet- ]
ing which was almost a grimace.
[ Nearly a score of talesmen asked
" to: be excused, and JudgeAudenreid's
manner of disposing of their pleas
' seemed to effect Brock. The Judge
Wis very severe toward them and
J lashed theqi with sarcasm and rebuke.
, . Accompanied by his attorney, Owen
P J. Roberts, Brock walked to the bar
of the court with a firm step and stood
. graspiqg the railing with tense fin'
gers es the Court Clerk rapidly read
l throuffh the first of the four indict-.
Jmcfnts?the murder charge. He was
' also accused of reckless driving, op'
erating an automobile while intoxicated
and refusing to render aid to
, an injured person.
."How do you plead?" asked the
[ clerk.
; Mr. Roberts turned and said in a

low voice to Brock, "guilty in the

"Guilty in the second degree," repeated
Brock.
Judge Audenreid said it was within
the jurisdiction of the court to fix|
the degree. Mr. Roberts apologized
and said he had believed a plea of
guilty allowed the pleader to fix tbe
degree. Then he whispered to Brock

question Brock answered, "guilty."

given uncontradicted testimony Brock
was put on the stand. He said he
was unable to recall anything that
happened on the night of the killings.
He admitted drinking heavily, hut
would not admit he knew even the
route he had traveled from St Davids
into the city.
CHANGE THE
FEED MENU
Clem son College.?South Carolina,
like other Southern States, has a mild
winter and plenty of heat during the
summer. This environment is favorable
to heavy infestation of animal
parasites. Lung worms, stomach
worms, inlestinal worms, kidney
worms, and many other parasites
cause serious losses among our livestock.
For this reason we should
plan our grazing so that we may eliminate
as many of these parasites
as possible.
Perhaps the best and cheapest way
to eliminate parasites is to change
the livestock frequently from one pasture
to another, for by so doing the
parasites do not have sufficient time
for their complete life cycle and consequently
they fall by the wayside, says
Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal
Husbandry Division, who adds
that not only are the parasites controlled,
but the livestock will make
oetter pains oecause 01 tresn pasture
and the pasture will give a larger
yield because it has had a rest.
At the bottom of this scheme of
changing pastures is the need of more
fences an(J better fences. The cost of
new fencing materials is the limiting
factor in livestock lyogress in South
Carolina today. This cost may be
greatly reduced by buying fencing
co-operatively in carlots. The hardware
dealers will usually agree tc
handle carlots for a five per cent com
mission.
Every county agent in South Caro
lina has as a part of his plan Of ex
tension work the three fundamentals
?better livestock, more forage crops
more' and better fences. Farmer;
should seek the aid of the agents ii
this important work.

MARION FIRE
BUGSCAUGHT
Prominent Farmer Near Marion
is Under Arrest for
Crime
MYSTERY NOW CLEARED
Burnings Run Back for Several
Months 'With Destruction
For some time past mysterious fireshave
been taking place near the town
of Marion, on the farm of James S.
Johnson, in what is known as the
Baker neighborhood.
First a ginnery went up in smoke.
Investigations were made by the local
officers but without any result in finding
the criminal, although there were
circumstances pointing directly at the
hand of some enemy of Johnson's who
did the work.
Later on tobacco barns began to

upon which there could be based a
warrant for the arrest of anybody.
Reports in the newspapers last
week shows that a detective sent to
the place by the Governor's office has,
succeeded in getting evidence upon
which arrests have been made and i
upon which the court will undertake j
to convict at the next session.
The Mullens Enterprise says:
The mystery concerning the burning
of so much property in the Baker
settlement, south of Marion, seems
to be in a fair way of being cleared
up, according to reports received
from various sources. It will be recalled
that in a recent issue of the
Enterprise mention was made of Mr.
James Johnson's property being destroyed
by fire, this following a series
of other conflagrations. Sheriff
Powell and his ever faithful deputy.
, Furman Edwards, has worked hard to
unravel the mystery, and that they
. were succeeding, the editor of Tho
1 Enterprise was apprised last week,
, but we were not permitted to use the
r information we were in possession of.
' as the time was not ripe to tell it.
, However, the situation was so serjous
. in that section, and so eager were
property owners to catch the guilty
party, that the Governor was appealed
to for aid and he sent a special
" detective in the neighborhood to >\crk
'* up the case, resulting in the arrest
'* of I.eRoy T. Baker, a prominent
R farmer owning land and living in
1 that community. The arrest is quite
a sensation and is generally regretted
by citizens, as the chain of evidence
against Baker is said to very
strong. He was arrested Tuerday
v evening and placed in iail, and it was
s further reported to The Enterprise
e that bond was refused at .the time
The accused man is prominently cona
nected with some of the best families
V in the county and State, hence the
- surprise of many. So auiet was the
whole affair workod up that few people
knew that Baker was even under

to Mullins Tuesday afternoon audi
swore out a warrant before Judg*

ty Edwards, who made the arrest.
The particulars, so far as given
out, other than the above, is contained
in a dispatch sent out from Florence,.
dated 17, as follows:
LeRoy T. Baker, prominent whiterfarmer
of Marion county, was arrested
late this afternooh on eharges or
burning a gin house and a tobacco*
bam, owned by neighbors, according?:
to information received here. He i?.
said, to have been taken to Marion by*
county officers, who made the arrest,,
after an investigation in which they^
were assisted by W. W. Rogers, on?
of Governor McLeod's special constables.
The gin house which Baker is alleged
to have fired, was the property
of Dr. L. B. Blackburn, and it was
destroyed by fire in 1921. The tobacco
barn was owned by James S_
Johnson. It was burned recently.
Baker, Johnson and Blackburnowned
adjoining plantations about fiver
miles from the town of Marion. Two*
tenant houses have burned on the"
Johnson place in the last 90 days, it?
addition to the tobacco barn.
James Johnson, a negro, has beerc
under arrest for several days in connection
with the fires. Officers intimated
tonight, it was understood here,,
that other arrests might follow.
Constable Rogers was sent to investigate
the fires unon reouost of*
the owners of the property.
Baker, it was reported here, planned
to apply for bail at once.
