After! shooting Deputy Sheriff Parris when an attempt was made to ar rest him on a lunacy warrant. Dargan Beaco, 50 year old farmer of near Greer, was almost instant ly killed near his home at noon to day. Deputy Parris-was rushed to the city hospital here and is reported as painfully, though not seriously, injured. More than 100 shots of about No. 6 size took effect in his legs, left side and left hand. Deputy Parris and Deputy G. L. Jones attempted to arrest the man Friday night, but on account of leaving the warrant behind and be cause Beaco drew his knife sugges tively when mention of his going to Greenville was made, the officers withdrew in the hope of returning today and persuading him to ? ac company them without difficulty. When Deputy Parris returned this morning with Deputy Cothran to get the man, who it is said, had terrified the neighborhood with his threats and cruelty to '.his family, they sighted him in a field nearby. When they stepped from the car and approached in a friendly man ner in an effort to spirit him away, the man retreated several steps and, picking up. a single barreled shotgun, ordered the officers to leave his premises, firing at Deputy Parris as he uttered the com mand. When this officer was shot, Deputy Cothran leaped. behind a - L terrace and with the wounded of ficer emptied his pistol. Apparent ly noting that Deputy Parris did not fall the deluded man loaded his gun a second time and, throw ing it to his shoulder, fired a sec ond time at the officer, then load ing a third time, discharged it in the direction of Deputy Cothran, the bullets clipping the top of the terrace. As the man attempted to push a third shell into the barrel, the j gun refused to breach and the fatal pistol bullet took effect in the > man's body. Falling backward, he died before he could be carried to the car. The body was rushed on ito Greenville by Deputy Cothran, together with the wounded officer. Beaco, it is said, was held at one time in the state asylum. MAJOR HAMMOND . PASSED AWAY Served! as. Staff Officer in Confederate War, Also as Legislator Blackville, June 11.?Maj.

TROUBLED TIMES FOR IRELAND Country Not So Well Provided With Funds as Was Case f Year Ago ! N - ?Dublin, June 9 (By the Associat-. j ed Press).?A meeting was h Id at 1 Mansion House this evening in sup port of the panel candidates for parliament chosen by the Free Staters and the Republicans, Ea mon de Valera presided. Michael Collins in a speech said he could foresee for the new par liament great possible difficulties. Ireland had passed from the stage of violent revolution, to a stage of lesser revolution, but was not yet ! out of the revolutionary stage. The country now was a good deal poor er than it was a year ago. "We are faced by a situation," Mr. Collins continued, "in which inertia is coming into the national life and productivity is reduced. I j received today a report from the ! inspector of taxes stating htat the collection of revenues. was ex tremely unsatisfactory, the main cause being a lack of any effective means for enforcing payment. 'This is no time," Mr. Collins added, "to take on war with North-r east Ireland and with the British empire, too. We have seen the ar tificial situation created on the Formanagh-Donegal border in the last days and the British troops called to aid the Northern govern. :nent. British troops entered the Donegal area for a certain distance,; and it' only needs that sort of an (advance to bring war into all the J rest of Ireland. ? "Such a situation can be avert ! ed. The difficulty in the northeast is not on the border but in Belfast., We must meet the trouble at its' j seat and not give others the ad vantage of meeting trouble where there should be none. Otherwise ! the whole of Ireland wiil be over run and an artificial trench made around the six counties. The Northern leaders are planning for I this, and if we do not act wisely the trench will make partition permanent." PRESIDENT SAYS CRITICISM UNDESERVED Acceptance of Money From Campaign Fund by Nat. Goldstein is Subject of Let ter St. Louis, June 12.?President Harding has written Nat Goldstein" that the criticism produced by the nomination of Goldstein for inter j national revenue collector here, j caused by Goldstein's acceptance of ! twenty-five hundred dollars of the j Lowden campaign fun was an 4,un j deserving character."

ADMIRAL KATO BECOMES PREMIER Acceptance of Premiership Regarded as Triumph For| Ndn Militarists Tokyo, June 11 (By the Asso ciated Kress). ?: Admiral Bar?n Kato today accepted the premier ship. His non-party cabinet comes iato power with the avowed inten tion of carrying out the agreements of the Washington conference ? to the letter. ? : '."

Kato will have the support of the Seyukai majority party in the diet and the Kenkyukai, the largest group of peers in the house of lords. It is understood that Shiedehara has the refusal of the foreign of fice portfolio in Kato's cabinet. With malaria seting in, this is the time for all good lemons to come to the ade of their country.

B. Hare Saluda, June 11.?-B. B. Hare, agricultural statistician in' South Carolina for the bureau of mar kets and crop estimates. United States department of agriculture, has prepared estimates which show the condition of crops>eport ed below on June 1 as follows: Wheat 75 per cent of normal, oats 88 per cent, rye 85, hay 88, alfalfa 90, cowpeas 85, cabbages 87, onions 87, apples 66, peaches 77, pears ^65, watermelons 80, and cantaloupes 78. The indicated production of wheat in the state is reported at 1,218,000 bushels, production for the entire United States being re7 ported at 855,000,000 bushels as against 795,000,000 bushels in 1921. Total production of oats in -the state is estimated at 9,327,000 bushels, or 1,137,000 bushels more than last year. The total produc tion in the entire United States is reported at 1,305,000,000 bushels, against 1,061,000,000 bushels in 1921. the five-year average being 1.413,000*000 bushels. Peaches in the western, central, and eastern counties will show a marked increase in production over last year. Condition of pears and apples fair to good. Weather conditions for the past 60 days have been highly favorable for clover and alfalfa, 4nd excel lent yields ? have - been reported. .. Condition, of - watermelons and cantaloupes fairly good, though there has been too much rain for both. The same is true of cab bages, onions and other truck crops* Commercial crop of cucumbers larger than usual and prices have been very unsatisfactory. Black ville is the-principal shipping: point. Rainfall during the month of May was far above normal in many sections and farm work has been much delayed, especially in harvesting wheat and oats, for this reason farmers have been unable to get into fields with reapers and binders. All growing crops have progressed slowly on account of moisture, lack of sunshine and proper cultivation. It is seven years bad luck for breaking a mirror and often more than that for breaking a law. Why not let Russia have the money she wants on condition we use her country for trying the Still man case? M It is said there are 750.000 varie ties of insects. This does not in clude those who read movie sub titles aloud. ER! m tf>HE ISnVi THERE.1 WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HAf TO M?M?E?
