The award was made by Federal Judge William H. Bar rett. The other papers were The Co lumbia Record, The Spartanburp Journal and The Spartanburg Her ald. Hall and LaVarre were in iebteded to the paper company in the principal of $870,000. This was secured by a demand note signed by the debtors on April 27, 1929, and secured by certain stocks of the four papers. The difference between the two foregoing sums represents debts, fees, etc., that ac crued after signing of the note. Judge Barrett went one step fur ther and permanently enjoined Hall and LaVarre from proceeding against the properties in any wise. International officials made no statements yesterday as to how long they will operate the papers. Edgar Neely, lawyer of Atlanta, representative of the paper com pany, made no announcement as to plans of operation or disposition of the properties. J. T.

Mother Shoots Child In Fright RIDGELAND, Nov. 8.—A mother accidentally shot and killed her seven-year-old son, an only child, near here last night when she be came frightened while sitting near a campfire. The child, George Edward Sharpe, was the son of Mr. - and Mrs. G. A. Sharpe of Hardeeville. The mother and father had tak en the child fishing with thenjr and a Mr. Horten and stopped on the old Charleston-Savannah highway just before dark and built a fire automobile they had occupied and, placing it near the campfire, warn ed those present to be careful. He and Horten went down the road several hundred yards to a bridge. Shortly afterward they heard a pistol shot and the woman scream. Rushing back, they found Mrs. Sharpe holding the lifeless body of the child in her arms. The nllet bad entered his side, punc- urina- the heart. He was rushed to a hospi^ 1 h^e but doctors said he had died insta?itly. Mrs. Sharpe said she was sitting by the fire when a Negro r~> a nule rode by and shouted, she tho-'^V at her. She reached fc” ust v and in some way it was disc’v^ge? The Negro said the mule shied the fire and he shouted at the ani mal. The child will be buried in Screv en county, Georgia, tomorrow.

Scenes which will keep the ob server sittting up straight in his* seat include the breaking in of the' prison doors by huge army tanks, the wild revolt of hundreds of con victs in the prison yards, the mad' demonstration in the cell house* and the dramatic death scene of Wallace Beery.

X Big Turnips Mr. Jim Christian, a prosperous farmer of the Bethany section of McCormick County, on Monday presented The Messenger with four purple top White Globe turnips that weighed a little over ID pounds, the largest weighing a fraction over 3 pounds. They were ' gathered from his half acre patch which was sown broadcast in Sep tember in well fertilized and pul verized land. He believes they make better broadcast than in the drill. The turnips had a delicious flavor and were not the least bit pithy. txt Tin Wash Pan In 1 Use'Ninteen Years Mr. F. E. Williams, who runs the* water pumps for the C. & W. C.

It looks like the kind that cost 10 cents about that time. It has never leaked, although it is badly battered and ~the only hole in the pah is the one on the edge to hang it up by. He attributes the long life of the pan to the fact that it is kept hanging up when not in use.
