FRONT— One thousand farmers and their Wives were guests of State college at the 26th annual state convention last week. M Woman Played Mini Along: I'ntil rvi<.n«*y Was Clone, Then Jilted Him. He Evened Count Columbia —The story of a country farmhand who went to the city, met an attractive young widow and then found that she did not care for him; who in a moment, of rage shot and killed the woman and t-ted to kill himself and then paid with 13 years of his life, has just been unfolded here, with the parole of James L. McElroy. of Spartanburg. Friendless and without money to employ an attorney. McElroy was hailed into court at Spartanburg in June. 1915. He was defended ably by.an appointed attorney and they prevented his being sent to the electric chair. But he got a sen tence of life in prison. The name of the woman he kill ed does not appear in any record in the governor's office. But the documents show that McEirov had saved some money—a few hundred dollars from his work on th '* farm. He went to Spartanburg hoping to make more money and get ahead in the world. There he met an at tractive young widow. ' She allowed him to lavish his money on her. Wfrn hr had reached the end of his resources she let him know that she had transferred, her attentions to another man and that she could not marry him. Tried to Kill Self Calling the young woman to the porch of the home where she lived he talked with her a fev minutes, i Then he shot and kill'd her. He tu ned the gun on hnnself. firing a shot into his head. For we ••Its he hovered between life and death, finally recovering Freni the day McEirov entered the grim old state prison h-re lie was the ideal prisoner. "The disci pline and the work were hard,” he says in his petition, and this is con firmed by prism officials who aided him in getting a parole. But for all of .his 13 years naver a black mark was. chalked against him. Won Over Officials For 11 years McElroy was in charge of a fleet of five trucks op erated by trusties. His attention io work, his honesty and his bearing attracted the attention of man with whom he dealt. These signed a petition asking that McElroy be pardoned or pa roled. Their petition was a strong one. Some 40 men. some of them influential in Columbia, signed the papers In the file in the governor's of fice is a document showing a unan imous report b' the board of par dons favoring the petition. There Big1 Emergence Of Boll Weevil Seen Raleigh.—The first crop of .new boll weevils is now beginning o emerge from punctured cotton form - that have fallen to the ground, ac cording to Ft. W. Leiby. entomolo gist of the state department of agri culture These weevils are the sons and daughters of the weevils th" passed through the Winter alive and found the first cotton forms in which to lay their eggs. There are strong indications, ac cording to Dr. Leiby. that few if any of the grubs, now' in fallen cotton forms and belonging to tlr first brood of weevils, have been destroyed by hot temperatures. Con ditions up until the recent hot spied have been very favorable i the development of the grubs of the latter part of this first brood. Cotton fields are now general! infested with the weevil. The de gree of punctured squares at this time is such as to indicate the: 10 per cent will show either eg? or feeding punctures between Julv 20 and 30. It is at this stage of weevil injury when the entomolog ists advise that cotton be dust' d with calcium arsenate to poison the grown weevils. With last year losses by the weevil fresh in their minds, many farmers are planning to fight the weevil* this season. The Costly Glad 1’and From The Albany Knickerbocker Press. New York City's glad hand bill is running into money. It has cost the city $185,000 for the series of official receptions of flyers whim b-'gan a year ago this month with the Lindbergh function. And Grov er Whalen, chairman of the mayor' committee on receptions to dis tinguished guests, is. getting a trifle apprehensive. The strain of reach ing out with one hand in cordial greeting to the honored arrivals while delving with the other hand deeper and deeper into the ci v treasury is beginning to tell on the official greeter. He has a terrible sinking feeling when he gets io thinking what would happen if his left hand should let the right one know that the bottom of the treas ury had been struck. also are letters from Judge M. L Bonham, who tried the case, arid who says that undoubtedly McElroy was either insane or killed the wom an in a fit of rage. There is an other from Albert B. Hill who was solicitor. Col, A K. Sanders of Columbi y former head of the prison. also wrote the governor recommending that McElroy be freed. TOT STIH WANT IS. t \ou wouldn’t stand unnaturally ( —why sleep in a bed that sags?
