H. Baker, far mer of Kathwood in Aiken County. Baker was taken to the county jail at Saluda. Miss Clark was here to spend the week-end with her friend, Miss Lucy Jones. She and Baker, it is said, had been sweethearts for several years, and when she was leaving Salley t' come here, he is reported to have ob jected to her making the trip. Lnt' Saturday afternoon he arrived herf also. Upo n finding Miss Clark. h< asked her to ride with him to a filling station for the purpose of replen ishing his gasoline. He then drove a short distance out of town and drew his pistol on her. She, fear ing him, jumped from the car, when he. fiyed at her, without hitting her. He returned to the home of J. O. Jones several hours later and waited for her. Upon her approach he seized her by the arm and fired two shots, both taking effect. Ohe shot pierced the chest through and through near the heart; the other entered and passed through the neck near the left jugular vein. Both bullets buried themselves in the wall of the house after passing through her body. t She was immediately rushed to University hospital by Doctors Frontic and Brunson. It is said that little hope is held out for her recovery. After the shooting, Ba ker, it is said, was in the act of shooting himself when the pistol was wrenched from him by several young men who happened to be pres ent.

Two Poultrymen Illustrate Merits Of Feed Methods CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 21.— Eighteen eggs per hen was the high laying average of 30,539 hens repre senting all sections of South Caro lina during the 31 days of March. These eggs, produced at an average feed cost of 16.6 cents a dozen and sold for 26.1 cents a dozen, demon strated to more than 200 poultrymen that practises recommended by the Poultry Division of Clemspn College will return a profit even on low- priced eggs. After buying feed for these chickens and all growing chicks i n the flocks, these hens profited 25 cents apiece. One of the most interest : ng side lights cn this story concerns a poultryman who decided there was “ncthin” in the poultry business for him, with feed so high and eggs so low, and another poultryman of the same county, who was convinced that the more eggs he could make his hens lay the cheaper would be the cost of each. Records reveal that the doubting poultryman quit feeding laying mash, thinking his hens might lay without it. When they laid less than one- third of the accustomed number of eggs, he started to feed more. L. G. Neel, extension poultry specialist, of Clenjson College, says this man made his discovery too late, for his 86 hens laid only 7 eggs apiece during the month and failed to 1 pay for their feed. The fellow-countian found that he produced each ddzen eggs at a feed cost of 16 cents and sold them for 25 to 30 cents. So he kept laying mash before the birds all the time and fed shelled corn and oats at night. He kept the birds free of lice and mites and culled out a few non layers. His 144 hens averaged 22 eggs apiece, paying for all feed and leaving an additional $42.05*.
