Poorly Arranged Kitchen Hin
ders Farm Work.


The kitchen is the most inn
portant institution on the farm.
Some folks will disagree with
that statement just after meal
time or in winter when they are
fat and lazy. But make the
same suggestion about II o'clock
or in mid-afternoon of a summer
harvest day and the resolution
will carry without a dissenting
voice. Now dosen't it seem that
the most important farm insti-
ton should be efficient? Miss
Carrie L. Pancoast, in Extension
Circular II Of the University
of Missouri, Agricultural Elk
tension Service, says, "The farm
kitchen is the farm weman's
most important workshop and
in many ways the chief room Of
the house. It's equipment and
arrangement may easily make
the difference between a tired,
over-worked, WORKOUT house
wife, and one who has some
time and energy left for recrea-
ton after the days work is
done" This circular has just
come from the press and con.
tains a general discussion of the
efficiency of the kitchen. 1t also
contains plans and suggestions
for arrangement and equipment
of the kitchen. 1t is illustrated
with pictures and drawings of

the department of horticulture
showed also that in a few Sec
tions of the state leaf curl was
sufficiently abundant to do con-
siderable injury to peach trees.
Peach leaf curl first makes It's
appearance shortly after the
blossoming season Of the peach.
The disease is caused by a fun
gus which grows in the leaves.
The affected part Of the leaf has
a thickened, pulled appearance
that is more or less curled or
wrinkled. If the weather is cool
particularly, a reddish color Is
likely to occur along the border
of some Of these pulled and
thickened areas. Injury to the
leaves is likely to continue I'M
til some time in June when the
diseased portions, for the most
part, turn black, soft, and badly
infected leaves drop.
1t is not feasible to check this
leaf curl during the summer

on the leaves. To prevent its

TRAGEDY ON BUSY
FLORENCE CORNER
BOTH WERE COAST LINE
FLAGMEN.
Domestic Trouble Alleged as
Cause-Dead Man Single,
Accused Married.

Florence, Sept. 21.-J. r. Gull
ledge, of Wadesboro, N. c., was shot
to death on the streets Of Florence
this afternoon by S. Jess Kennedy
of this place. Kennedy was imme-
diately arrested and is now in pris-
on. The shooting took place at or
near the corner Of East Evans and
Harlee streets, one OF the main
thoroughfares of the city, about
O'Clock, and was witnessed by a
number of pedestrians and others.
From what can be gathered other
than what was stated by witnesses
before the coroner's jury it seems
that bad blood existed between the
two men for some time because OF
an alleged domestic trouble. and
that shooting scrape was only
averted some days ago by cooler
heads and friends. However. the
two men met this afternoon and the
shooting resulted. Kennedy fired
five shots from a 32-caliber Smith
& Wesson pistol, each ball taking
effect in Gulledge's body
No Chambers Empty.
When Chief of Police Brunson ar
rived he found in Gulledge's hand
32-caliber Smith & Wesson "side-
wheeler" but it had never been
ifired.
Gulledge was a flagman on the
Atlantic Coast Line, running be-
tween Florence and Wadesboro. y.
c., and was about twenty-five years
old. He was a Mason and a Shriner.
Kennedy is a fiagman on the same
system, running on passenger trains
between Florence, Charleston and
Savannah.
The coroner's jury rendered q
verdict about 8 o'clock tonight to
the effect that Gulledge "came to
his death from gunshot wound in
the hands of S. ]. Kennedy"
Gulledge's body was taken in
charge of by Vaughn's undertaking
establishment and is awaiting dis
position instructions from his fam
lily. Gulledge was unmarried.
