SENSATIONAL TURN.
Howard S. Clark Arrested ON Charge
of Killing Wife.

Florence, April 6.-Howard S.
Clark, a well-known young farmer,
of Black Swamp Township, was ar
rested to-day under warrant,
charging him with the killing of his
young wife, Mrs. Parrott Clark, on
last Tuesday at their home. 1t will
be remembered that it was at first
reported that Mrs. Clark had COM
mitted suicide by shooting herself
through the head, and that her hus-
band, with two of his hands while in
the yard near the house heard the
shots, and ran to her, finding her
mortally wounded lying across the
bed with a pistol bullet through her
temple, from which she died a few
moments later.
Not content with the verdict Of the
coroner's jury which investigated
the death of this young wife, who,
it is reported was soon to become a
mother, the brother of the deceased,
Mr.. Carl Parrott, of Hartsville, so it is
reliably stated, had warrant issued
for Clark, charging him with the kill
ing. The warrant was sent to
Sheriff Burch, and to-day Rural Po-.
liceman Sam ]. Cole and Deputy
Sheriff Maxey Burch went to Mr..
Clark's home, just across Black
Creek, and placed him under arrest,
bringing him to Florence later and
turning him over to the sheriff.
1t is said that Clark was some
what Indifferent when the officers in
formed him of the nature of their
visit, and without any words came on
to Florence with them. The arrest
of Clark has created great sensa-
ton throughout the city. AS soon as
he reached the city he was permit
ted to see attorneys.
Ever since the shocking tragedy of
last week there has been all kinds
of rumOrs afloat throughout the city
concerning the death of Mrs. Clark,
but nothing definite could be learned
until to-day when Mr.. Clark was
brought to the city.
Mr.. Clark is the son of the late
Fred Clark, who at the time of his
death was member of the house Of
representatives from this county.
The Clark family are among the very
best people in the county. Mrs.
Parrott Clark was only about. 23-
years old, and is member Of one
of the well known Parrott families
of old Darlington county. Mrs.
Clark was married to Howard Clark
less than three years ago and was
a most charming and clever young
woman, and was admired by her
many friends for her lovely traits
of character and womanly virtues.

UNDERWOOD WINS.
Democratic House Leader Sure to
Wear Senate Toga.

Birmingham, Ala, April 7.-Oscar
w. Underwood, for nearly twenty
years representative of the 9th Ala
bama district in the lower house OF
congress, swept the State in his bat
tie with Congressman Richmond
Pearson Hobson for the nomination
for United States senator, according
to to-night's returns from yester-
days democratic primaries. Mr..
Hobson conceded the victory to his
rival candidate before noon to-day,
although returns still were incom-
plete tonight.
Mr.. Underwood's nomination ter
minated one of the most spectacular
political contests in the history OF
the State. With the exception of a
whirlwind speaking tour during the
Christmas holidays, the successful
candidates campaign was conducted
bv his friends. One of the chief
claims for recognition for their can
didate advanced by Mr.. Underwood S
friends was the charge that Repre-
sentative Hobson was neglecting his
duties as a congressman to conduct
the campaign.
Mr.. Hobson entered the senatorial
race nearly two years ago. He visit
ed every county and town in the
State. In stump speeches he charged
his opponent with having been in
fluenced by the liquor interests. He
also charged that corporation in
fuence was behind the campaign of
Mr.. Underwood for the presidential
nomination in 1912. All OF the
charges were denied by Mr.. Under
wood.
The activities of the distinguished
candidates attracted nationwide in
terest in the outcome of the prima-
ries, which was first definitely known
to-day. when Mr.. Hobson sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Mr.. Underwood:
"Accept my congratulations upon
your nomination. AS the democratic
nominee you can count on my sup
port in the election. Richmond P.
Hobson.'

1914 WHEAT CROP.
Yield May Reach Five Hundred
Fifty-one Million Bushels.

Washington, April IA record
breaking winter wheat crop is IN
prospect this year. The department
of agriculture estimated on con-
servative basis the yield may exceed
100000 bushels. The condition
of the crop on April 1 was 93.6 per
cent of normal, or lis per cent
better than the average April l con-
dition for the past ten years. The
area planted last autumn was So
5O6.OO0 acres, and with compara-
lively good winter, it is believed the
percentage of acreage abandoned has
been somewhat less than 9.6 per
cent. the average abandoned during
the past ten years, so that an un-
usually big acreage will be harvest
ed if conditions continue favorable
throughout the season.
In a statement to-day concerning
the crop the department said:
THE condition of winter wheat on
April /, viz, 95.6 per cent of normal,
is lis per cent higher than the
average of the past ten years. The
Weld per acre in the same ten years
averaged Is bushels, an increase of
lis per cent, so this average would
be l 6.7'bushels.
The acreage planted last fall was
estimated at 36,5O6,000 acres; 1877
bushels applied to this acreage gives
O9,650,O00. The average Of
abandonment before harvest in the
past ten years has been about '9.6
per cent of the area planted. If this
average of abandonment be deduct
ed from the estimated planted area
and 1877 be applied to the remain
ing amount, production of about
100000 would be indicated.
The wheat plant wintered un-
usually we'll, and it is not to be ex-
pected that the ten-year average OF
abandonment has occurred this year.
"The final estimate of production
of winter wheat in 1913 was $685.
$4,000 bushels, (the largest ever
recorded,) and in 1912 it was $685.
$4,000 bushels"

SEALS FATE OF GUNMEN.
Gov. Glynn Refuses to Commute
Sentence or Grant Replieve.

Albany, N. Y, April 7.-Governor
Glynn tonight refused to either COM
mute the death sentence of the four
gunner convicted of Staying Herman
Rosenthal or to grant them reprieve
until after the second trial of former
Police Lieut.. Charles Becker. They
must die by electrocution in Sing
Sing prison some time next week,
probably Monday.
1t would have been a miscarriage
of justice to have granted commuta-
ton and an improper exercise of exc
cutive power to have granted a re-
prieve, the governor said in state
ment. The case of the gunner does
not depend on the result of the Beck
er case, he said. No evidence has
been offered him tending to show
that there is any reasonable prob
ability of anything developing in the
second Becker trial which would
change the result in the gunmen's
cases.
The full names and ricknames OF
the condemned men are:
Frank Cirofici, CDago Frank; y
Harry Horowitz, C'Gyp the Blood;;')
Louis Rosenberg, C'Lefty Louie, y
and Jacob Seidenshner, c"Whitey
Lewis.")
Included in the governors state
ment were the texts of the letters he
received from Supreme Court Justice
Goff and District Attorney Whitman,
who acted in the case, strongly op-
posing a reprieve. The district at
torney declared that Ito delay or pre-
vent the execution of the just judg-
ment of the law against them would,
in his opinion, tend to destroy the
sense of security which every law
abiding citizen should feel The
justice declared there was no doubt
as to the prisoners guilt.
Il have carefully reviewed the
record of the trial and the opinions
written in the court of appeals of the
affirmanee of the judgment OF con-
viction in this case,' the governor
said, and l am unable to discover
any reason that would warrant re-
prieve.
LAS near as absolute certainty
can be attained by human means IN
a human tribunal it was attained
when these four men were convict
ed of murder. The conviction has
been unanimously affirmed by the
court of last resort"
At first the governor was inclined
to,grant the 'reprieve, but after study
ing all of the evidence and the de-
cision of the court of appeals, his
view was changed.

The Turnip i'm Various Styles.

Turnip Puree a la Creme.-Peel,
slice and mince dozen small turnips,
blanch and drain them. Place in a
saucepan with about two ounces of
butter, fry for a few minutes with
out coloring, then add enough white
stock to cover and few stalks of
parsley. Cook until quite tender,
then drain and take out the parsley.
Pass it all through a sieve, reheat
the puree in the saucepan with a
piece of butter and pinch of sugar.
Season with salt, pepper and grated
nutmeg. If the puree is too thick
reduce it. Finally add two or three
tablespoonfuls of cream.
Turnip Soup-Cook the turnips as
stated in the above recipe, but add
rather more stock to the puree to give
it the consistency of soup. Pass it all
through sieve and reheat the soup.
Let it simmer slowly for about half
an hour. Skim and add one-half
gill of milk or cream and piece OF
fresh butter. Serve the soup with
croutons of fried bread.
Glazed Turnips.-Wash and peel a
bunch of young turnips and cut them
by means of a large vegetable spoon
in the shape of olives or large balls.
Put them in a pan with one ounce of
butter, season with salt, pepper and
a pinch of sugar and moisten with a
little stock. Bring to the boil and
simmer gently until cooked. They
must have absorbed all their stock
and be slightly colored. Turnips pre-
pared in this way are served as a
vegetable or a garnish for entrees.
Turnips a 'rItalienne.-Wash a
bunch of young turnips and peel them
thin. If large, cut them in half, cook
them for twenty minutes in salted
water. Strain off the water and drain
the turnips. Melt one ounce of but
ter in an earthenware casserole or,
failing this, use pie dish. Put IN
the turnips, adding a little white
sauce between each layer. Season
with little salt and pepper. Sprinkle
a small handful of breadcrumbs over
the top. also some grated cheese and
a little melted butter. Bake in an
oven for about thirty minutes and
send to table in the same dish.
Turnips au Gratin.-Peel lightly
eight or nine medium sized young
turnips, cut them into slices and wash
and drain them thoroughly. Melt
two ounces of butter in stewpan.
When hot put in the turnips and stir
over a brisk fire, season with pepper
and salt, moisten with little stock
and cook until tender. Rub through
a sieve or drain them. Arrange the
slices on the puree in we'll buttered
pie dish and pour over them a bech-
amel sauce. Sprinkle the surface
with fine breadcrumbs and add few
tiny bits of butter here and there.
Bake in quick oven for about ten
minutes, long enough to brown the
top nicely.
Bechamel Sauce-AIake a white
sauce, using equal quantities of
chicken stock and cream as the
LIQUID. If the chicken stock has not
been favored with vegetables, etc.,
fry a generous tablespoonful of veg
etables, carrot, onion, parsley, etc.,
in the butter before adding the -four.
Do not, however, allow them to color.
