Wants Farmers At Field Day | - County Agent A. S. Knowles I Thinks That Visit To Test > Farm At Willard Will Be Inspiration County Agent A. S. Knowles says that a number of Brunswick county farmers have indicated to him their intention to attend the Field Day at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station at Willard tomorrow (Thursday). Most of these men are interested in cattle and producing feed for them, and the trip to the experiment station is expected to furnish a good lesson in this phase of farming. During the past year the Bruns wick farmers have shown an in creased interest in the raising of livestock. The fact is admitted that the county lacks the num ber of cows and other animals for which feed can be produced. The Willard meeting will give farmers who are interested in cows an opportunity to learn from experts something relative to the feed and care for such animals. Read The Want Ads.

The B-Hiue By: Betty Lou Jacobs We're back again to tell all the gossip around Bolivia high school, and this week we have a double load. The fifth grade gave an Eas ter play last week called "The Wonderful Message". It was very interesting to all who saw it. Everyone that is except the freshmman class. The reason it was not very interesting to them was because after chapel they were scheduled to have a science exam. It was a nice play. Con gradulations, Fifth Grade, for do ing such a swell job. Mr. Page attended a teachers meeting in Asheville last week end. We really missed him at school last Thursday and Friday, especially in algebra class. There was quite a bit of excite ment around Bolivia high this past week when news got around that Harriette Yount was missing, but they found her and she wasn't lost. That really gave us a scare. The Bolivia boys and Leland boys played a very interesting baseball game last week. Although Leland won its no sign that Bolivia will get whipped every time, or at least we hope they won't. Seen around enjoying school this week were Betty Padgette, Elizabeth Johnson, Myrtise Hick man and Betty Jacobs in the de tention hall Monday afternoon . . We're always glad to have visit ors at our school and we want everyone that comes to visit to feel welcome. We hope everyone had a grand Easter- we did. Well that about winds things up this week, so look for us next week. Three Held For Action Of Jury Testimony Places The Gun Which Killed Mrs. Lula Shelley In Hands Of Gary 1 Floyd Gary Floyd, a young married man of the Green Sea section of Horry County, was ordered held Friday night for Investigation by the grand jury in the death of Mrs. Lula Shelley and his wife, Mrs. Florine Graham and Mrs. Dorothea Rabon Graham were held on suspicion as accomplices. A coroner's jury brought in a verdict after Coroner Hugh Nance had placed only two witnesses on the stand to testify as to the circumstances surrounding' the slaying of Mrs. Shelley in Tabor City on the night of March 25. Floyd's bond was fixed at $25,000 and he was still in jail today. It was reported, however, that bond will be posted possibly tomorrow as soon as South Caro lina certification has been grant ed. Bond for Mrs. Graham and Mrs. j Floyd set at $500 each and the bonds were signed by Nathan Wilson of Tabor City. They were released soon after the inquest. Although officers' had quoted Mrs. Graham as saying that she shot Mrs. Shelley and then criti cally wounded her husband, it was apparent at the inquest that such a version of the death was not going to stand up. Several hundred persons, most of them from Whiteville and Tabor City, crowded into the Court Room to manifest their curiosity over which of the con flicting accounts of the so-called love triangle slaying would be supported in sworn testimony. Emmett Graham, 38-year-old' Mullins barber, who was the cen tral character in the triangle, was first to take the witness stand. .Just recovered from the critical injuries received when he was shot through the abdomen, Gra I ham was nattily attired in . a hrown sport coat and grey trous | ers. Colors of his flashy tie blend j ed harmoniously with his grey streaked hair which has a wavy, screeq-star appearance. The allegedly much-married Graham told the jury that he was present when Mrs. Shelley was, shot and fatally wounded in the southern portion of Tabor City on Friday night, March 25. He said he and Mrs. Shelley were | sitting in the front seat of Mrs. Shelley's automobile as they wait I ed for her two children to at I tend a motion picture at a Tabor theatre. TOOK AIR VACATION Mr .and Mrs. W. S. Wells went on a vacation by air last week, flying to Ohio to see Mrs. A. H. Marshall and Mrs. Josephine Styron.
