Shocking Tragedy At 'Ridge
Springs Sunday Morning
RIDGE SPRINGS, April 22.—Miss

school at Salley, was seriously and
perhaps fatally Wounded early to
day by two pistol shots alleged to
have been fired by J. H. Baker, far

Miss Clark was here to spend the
week-end with her friend, Miss Lucy

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

ent.

High Egg Average
Is Made In State

tried to blow up the king with a

and take a few accuracy lessons.
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*.
