.SATURN'S RINGS
ARE MEASURED

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March Is
The inner ring OF the planet Saturn.
known to astronomers as the Crepe
ring" on account OF the fact that II
Is much less brilliant than the 9TH
ers, has a thickness OF 1000 miles,
while the other rings are very much
thinner, according to observations
made by Professor William IL. Pick
ering OF Harvard at the Harvard
astron omical station at Vaudeville,
jamaica.
The thickness OF the rings OF Sa-
turn Is a matter which has long at.
tracted the interest of astronomers.
This planet Is surrounded by what
appears through n small telescope
TO be a single flat ring OF exceeding
thinness. Through larger telescope
this is seen to be in reality three con-
centric rings.
Every 16 years or so the earth
passes through the plane OF these
rings. which are then in a position
edgewise to the earth. So thin are
they that for a while they disappear
and cannot be seen until the earth
moves out OF their plane. This phe-
nomenon occurred on November
and will occur again on February 20
and August 3 OF this year. after
which there will be no opportunity
Of observing It again for 16 years.
Professor Pickering reports that
he observed the rings Just before
and after the November transit. and
J found the inner ring to be thicker

BUILDING NEW
LUMBER TOWN

REDDING. Cal, March IS
Garner City Is the name OF the new
town to be started in siskiyou county
by the Weed Lumber company. The
town will start off with an an eight
stall round house and machine shops
l60 feet by so feet, for II Is to be a
sort Of railroad terminal for the log
ging operations on Antelope Creek.
Garner City will be forty miles
northeast OF Weed and eight miles off
the klamath Falls branch Of the
Southern Pacific. in the neighbor-
hood Of Bray. It will take its nam
from Garner Mountain and from the
Garner ranch near by.
The company will erect office head
quarters and dwellings for its en-
ployes.
There will not be any sawmill at
Garner City, which is to be purely a
logging center. The company will be-
gin right away on the construction
OF its machine shops.
The Weed Lumber company at
present is running only one skidder
crew. General Manager J. NJ. White
says he can give no estimate Of the
date Of the opening OF logging on q
good scale. He cannot say whether
the sawmill will start up April LIST,
Anvfl r6th or Nav 1at Tho outlook
is indefinite because the market for
lumber is so poor. Despite the fact
that the price has been cut below
the cost Of last years production.
General Manager white says. there Is
little movement OF the large stock on
hand.
The box factory and the sash and
door factory are running. but they
. are shy on orders and may not be
kept running steadily.

Nine Persons Seriously Ill.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. "A sequel to
the Baldock mystery in which the
wife and three children of J. W. Lee,
a prominent planter, died suddenly a
few weeks ago of strange malady
caused by poison, has taken place at
Martins, S. c., about Is miles from
Allendale, according to information
received in Augusta today, stating
that nine persons are desperately i'll
at boarding house there after eating
biscuits made from -four taken from
the Lee home at Baldock.
The popularity of the situation is
that the affairs occurred at the board
ing house of Mrs. R. F. Creech, who
is a sister-in-law of ]. W. Lee, who
now lies i'll at the University His
pital here.
Officials state that following the
death of Mrs. Lee and the removal
of Mr.. Lee to hospital Mrs. Creech
went to the Lee home and removed
a sack of -four and other groceries
which she took to her home in Mar
tin. Biscuits made from the -four
were served to her boarders and it is

said that all who ate of the biscuits
were taken i'll, the symptoms being
similar to those in the Lee case.
Doctors called to administer to the
sick worked on the theory that their
illness was caused by ptomaine poi
soning from canned goods, although
some of those affected claim that they
did not partake of the timed salmon.
Sheriff Bennett tonight, however,
declared that he favored the theory
of the doctors but to be on the safe
side would have samples of the -four
analyzed.

Farmer Kills Fay Poston and Wounds
Brother as Riders Come on Tract.
Florence, Dec. 1.-The Florence
Times tonight received the following
dispatch from Johnsonville:
when Fay Poston, Alger Poston
and Dallas Poston, of this place
crossed near the yard of ]. c. NJ. Ben
ton about three miles west of here
early this morning, Benton shot at
all three of them killing Fay Poston
and hitting Alger Poston whose in
juries have not been fully determined,
Dallas Poston escaped without in
jury. The three young men were in
a party on fox chase, the party haV-
ing divided and these three were pass
ing near Benton's place. Alger Pos
ton, making his escape, was hurried
to this place for medical treatment
and spread the news of the shooting.
Not knowing at the time whether Fay
Poston was dead or not, Fin Poston,
the father of the dead man, in COM
pany with E. C. Ventress, went to the
scene of the shooting and as they
approached the house, Poston going
toward his dead son, Benton left his
house by the back and others drove
up about the same time. Some shots
were exchanged, one of which hit Fin
Poston in his hand, another passing
through the sleeve Of Mason Elan.
These shots were fired by Benton at
long range from .32 rifle. Benton
escaped into the river swamp and up
to this hour has not been captured,
although there is large posse on
each side of the river and blood
hounds are being put on the trail.
Deputy Sheriffs Joe Conner and Eich-
elberger are here and every effort is
being made to capture Benton

SEVENPRISONERSDIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
RECORD FOR 1921 PASSES LAST
YEAR.
TEN UNDER SENTENCE.
Statistics Show That Fifty-five Men
Have Paid Death Penalty
Since 1912.

Seven men, all negroes, paid the
death penalty by electrocution In
South Carolina during the present
year, according to records at the state
penitentiary. No more electrocutions
are scheduled for this year, so far as
is known, and the record therefore
will probably stand at seven.
Tillman Choice, the Spartanburg
negro, who was put to death Friday,
was the last scheduled electrocution
of the year, others that are now pend
ing having been postponed. J. e.
Wallace, of Sumter, white man, is
under death sentence for December
16, but an appeal to the supreme
court for new trial has automatical-
ly stayed the sentence.
Ten men are now under death sent
ence, but in all cases appeals have
stayed the verdicts of the lower
courts. Of these ten six are white
and four are negroes. The whites are
S. J. Kirby, c. o.. Fox, Jesse Gapins,
Edmund Bigham, Cliff Hawkins and
J. G.. Wallace. The negroes are Ell
Culbreath, Abraham Williams, Will
lam Thompson and Will Hood. The
first three are in the penitentiary,
while Hood is in Greenville.
Record to Date.
Since the esta blishment of the elec-
trio chair in 1912 and up until yes
terday 55 men have been electrocut-
ed. Of this number 50 were negroes
and three white. In 1920 three ne
groes paid the death penalty. The
number increased this year to seven,
a record equaled only by one or two
previous years.
The seven negroes this year were:
Ivey Littlejohn, February Is, who
was sent up from Spartanburg for the
murder of chain gang guard; Adam
Griffin, March 4, who was sent up
from Sumter for numbering guard
at the state farm; Feetie Fogle,
March 25, who was sent up from
Calhoun county for the murder OF a
white man at Lone Star; Albert Will
son, May 8, who was sent up from
Richland county for the murder of
a white man; Pink Griffin, September
2, who was sent up from Greenwood
for the murder of white man; Har-
vey Whaley, November 4, who was
sent up from Calhoun county for his
part in the murder of Earl Wadford,
a white mai; Tillman Choice, De-
cember 2, who was sent up from
Spartanburg for criminally assault
ing a white woman.
First to Pay Penalty.
William Reed, a negro, was the
first person to be electrocuted. He
was put to death August 6, 1912.
Reed was from Anderson county, and
a coincidence is that the first white
man, Samuel N. Hyde, to be electro
cuted was also from Anderson. He
was put to death October 1, 1912.
Hyde was convicted of killing several
people at the Orr cotton mills at An
derson and was very anxious, accord
ing to his statement, to be the first
man electrocuted. He was disap-
pointed when Reed was the first
man to die by the new method.
Since the electrocution of HYDE
only two other white men have paid
the penalty. C. P. Rushing of Ches-
terfeld was electrocuted April 1S,
1913, he being the second white man,
and NJ. L. Garrett, of Bishopvllle,
paid the penalty July IA, 1913, ac-
cording to penitentiary records. No
white man has been electrocuted
since 1913.
