UND SECTION PAGES 9 TO 16 Weekly Review THE PICK OF THE NEWS CONDENSED AND INDEXED FLORENCE The Fasted Growing City in the State 25,000 BY 1930 VOL. 1. NO. 8 FLORENCE, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 22,1922. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $1.00 A YEAR Bullet-Torn Shirt, Staind With Blood Newest Ward Clue New York.—A woman’s story of the finding of a bullet-pierced and bloodstained shirt in the room of one of her tenants two days after Walter S. Ward told of killing Clarence Peters furnished a new clue to the possible identity and whereabouts of one or both of the men who were sup posed to have accompanied Peters on the night he was shot by Ward. Detectives for both prosecution and defense were at work last night on the details of the story. The woman believes her roomer, who departed hurriedly after Ward told his story to the police, was either Charley Boss or “Jack the Speeder,” who, ac cording to Ward’s version, were the men who accompanied Peters on the “blackmailing” expedition on the night Peters was shot. Ward said that one of his bullets struck one of Peters’ companions in the shoulder, and this bloody shirt is pierced on the left side, near the shoulder. It has another bullet hole in the back, surrounded by blood stains. This new witness in the case, who will be , questioned in White Plains on Wednesday, is Mrs. P. F. Adams, a widow, about 30 years old, who for about three years has kept roomers in her eight-room apartment at 330 West Ninety-fifth street, between West End avenue and Riverside Drive. She told part of her story fol lowing the advice of her .counsel Mrs. Grace Humiston, the woman lawyer who dug up the murdered body of Ruth Cruger in 1916 and solved a murder and disappearance mystery upon which the police had been working here for months. Mrs. Adams said that her brother, who had lived in her apartment for about two years, had been a sailor in the navy, and that he was frequently visited by another former sailor, whose name was given to her as Eld- idge Adams, and who talked famil iarly of towns in Massachusetts, where Peters had lived. She pointed out that the first name given by Adams is also the first name of Peters’ father, and she asserted that she was convinced from the pictures of Peters she had seen in the news papers that the Adams who visited her house was Peters. Another assertion made by her was that she thought she recognized Ward as a man whom she had seen some time in the past. Mrs. Humiston said that she had come into the case only a few days ago on the request of her new client. She has no theories on the Ward case. The name of Mrs. Adams was men tioned in the case several days ago when she called upon District Attor ney Weeks in White Plains and at tempted to give him part of her in formation. Mrs. Adams then told her story to William A. De Ford, who has acted as counsel for the Hearst newspapers, and he notified District Attorney Weeks. An assistant dis trict attorney came to this city from White Plains and listened to the wo man’s story. Not All Pleasure In 1862 an intimate friend of Presi dent Lincoln visited him in Washing ton, finding him rather depressed in spirits as the result of the reverses then repeatedly suffered by the Fed eral troops. “This being President isn’t all as it is supposed to be, is it, Mr. Lin coln?” said his visitor. “No,” Lincoln replied, his eye twinkling for a moment. “I feel someiimes like the Irishman who, af ter being ridden on a rail, said: ‘If it wasn’t for the honor av th’ thing I’d rather walk.’ ” Magic Wand of Screen Make-Up Transforms Slavery Into Beauty 50-50 A plumber and a painter were working in the same house. The painter arrived late and the plumber said to him: “You’re late this morning.” “Yes”said the painter. “I had to stop and have my hair cut.” “You didn’t do it on your employ er's time, did you?” “Sure, I did,” said the painter. “It ^rew on his time.” Funny Stuff Grandma—I could, dear, but I don’t with this problem? Billy—Grandma, can you help me think it would be right. Billy—No, I don’t suppose it would but take a crack at it and see.—Lon don Mail. A Misunderstanding “Where have you been, Henry?” “Didn’t I tell you to beat that rug?” “Down to the drug store.” “I didn’t so understand you. You said to take that rug out and hang it on the line and beat it. I did.” He went to see the dentist The picture of despair, But came back smiling broadly— The dentist wasn’t there. DOROTHY PHILLIPS IS SEEN AS PIRATE GIRL Sr*. TWO CHARACTER STUDIES OF LEATRICE JOY The versatile motion picture ac ross of today is in many respects a modern Cinderella. One moment she is a forlorn and bedraggled little boarding house slavery. Presto!—the magic wand of screen make-up touches her—and lo! he next moment she is a radiant and beautiful creature. Such a modern Cinderella is Lea- trice Joy in “Her Man,” Marshall Neilan’s latest picture for Associated First National release. Miss Joy’s newest screen charac terization recalls to that popular ac tress earlier days in her career when she found it no easy matter to keep the well-known wolf from the vesti bule. Back in New York when Miss Joy received an occasional “bit” in a pic ture, she lived in a small boarding house on Eighty-fifth street with her mother and little brother. Here she became attached to a typical boarding house slavery of the Sis Hopkins type, who came to the actess with her many trials and tribulations. In “Her Man,” Miss Joy plays just such a slavery character and trans forms her pretty self into a homely little boarding house drudge. In re hearsing herself for this character, Miss Joy was reminded of her former acquaintance and mimicked the man nerisms and general appearance of her little slavery friend, to whom she gives much credit for the suc cess with which she handled the part. The picture-going public has be come accustomed to seeing the young actress on the screen in rich velvets, silks and satins, but it is promised an innovation when “Her Man” is re leased. In the greater part of the picture Miss Joy is seen as the little drudge in work-worn clothes. In the final scenes, however, she proves that study of the fashion books and use of borrowed finery can transform even a little boarding house slavery into Dorothy Phillips As the beautiful feminine leader of a band of sea smugglers Dorothy Phillips is said to have one of the most fascinating roles of her screen career in her latest starring vehicle, “Hurricane’s Gal,” produced by Al len Holubar for First National re lease. In it she command the rough crew of a schooner that sails the South Seas and engages in its illicit and dangerous trade. The heroine is known as “Hurri cane’s Gal,” being a wild, untamed girl of the sea who upon her par ents’ death was left only a heritage of hate and lawlessness. The love of a manly man, however, comes to re generate her unbridled spirit. The photodrama that has been evolved is said to be saturated with suspense and replete with thrills. Miss Phillips is supported by Ro berts Ellis, Gertrude Astor, Wallace Beery, Jack Donovan, James O Bar- rows, Frances Raymond and William “Fat” Fong. This big sea drama was filmed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and in a three-masted schooner cruising the Pacific off the coast of southern Cali fornia. an astonishingly attractive and graceful young person. Miss Joy states, however, it is very] doubtful that she would have been: able to effect this transformation so successfully had she not been on intimate terms with the genuine article.

The male bird makes the egg fer tile. “Hatch spots” develop in fertile eggs and these soon become “blood rings.” Blood ring eggs are not fit for food. “Don’t blame the hen if the egg is bad. It was all right when her re sponsibility ended.” Here are a few suggestions to help get more egg money: 1—Confine the male birds and pro duce infertile eggs. Sell, confine or caponize all young cockerels as soon as they weigh 1 1-2 to 3 pounds. (Courtesy of the Florence County Poultry Assn.) POULTRY HINTS FOR JUNE Produce Infertile Eggs Young cockerels will fertilize eggs as well as the old birds. 2— Keep the nests clean. Provide one nest for every four hens. 3— Gather eggs twice a day or oftener. 4— Market eggs twice a week or of tener. 5— Keep eggs in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. Do not keep eggs near kerosene, onions or other odor iferous material. 6— Protect eggs from the sun when taking them to market. 7— Sell to a buyer that pays more for infertile eggs. BETTER EGGS MEAN MORE MONEY. Escape When Vessel Burns Key West, Fla.—Former submarine chaser, No. 205, owned by E. T. Sul- zer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was burned to the water’s edge and sank off Sand Key. Mrs Sulzer, who, with her hus band and a party of friends, was aboard, was slightly burned. The guests and crew consisted of Mr. and Ms. Sulzer, Otis Burrell, For rest Cooper and George Pine, of Miami; Frank Baziler and William Carey, of Key West; Wallace Stuart and Walter Dewoiser, of North- borough, Mass.; Larry Johnston and William Nelson, of Boulder, Col., and Clyde Earle, of Jacksonville. They were taken off by the schooner Cham pion. The vessel which left here early today, after putting into Key West! fo fuel, was en route from Miami to! Matanzas, Cuba. The fire, believed to have originated from a short cir-j cuit in one of the guest rooms, was discovered when the boat was 13 miles from Key West. The 205 was the same chaser which blew up in Key West harbor in 1920, killing two men. The vessel was con demned by the navy depatment, and later was bought by Sulzer.
