Shot Five Times
Holmes was shot five times, one
bullet penetrating the heart while
Halle was shot only once, the bullet
entering the brain and causing in
stant death
An Official statement issued by
President Currell says that there had
been bitter feeling between the two
men for some time, growing out OF a
conflict Of duties at the university
This feeling has practically existed
for a year.
Professor Homes
Professor Homes was born in
1883 in Boydton, Va, and was cducat-
cd at the University of Virginia and
the United States Military academy at
West Point. He has held many import
ant engineering assignments and stood
high in his profession. He is 'surviv-
cd by wife and four small children.
Professor Homes has been a member
Of the University Of South Carolina
faculty since 1909.

The letter also expressed the hope

Anonymous Letters
There had been long standing CON
troversy between Professor Homes
and Mr.. Halle relative to Professor
Homes participation in the awarding
OF contracts for certain minor repairs
to buildings at the university. About
SIX months ago certain anonymous let
ters were received by members of the
board of trustees, impugning the in
tegrity Of Professor Homes in the
awarding Of building contracts. Thes >
anonymous letters were investigated
and found to be trivial. The matter
was brought to the attention of the
board of trustees Of the university and
the boards subcommittee found Pro-
fcssor llomes not at fault at all.
1T appears that Mr. Halle was in
structcd by the president of the uni
versity to investigate the authenticity
OF these anonymous letters, which he
did. a feeling OF animosity arose be-
tween Professor Homes and Mr.. Halle
relative to these charges.
The board of trustees through it's
Subcommittee investigated the charg-
es and found Professor Homes blame
less. Professor Homes was Of the
opinion that Mr. Halle had personal
grievance against him. Mr.. Halle like
wise thought that Professor Homes
was attempting to persecute him. Both
men were thus under the delusion that
each was prosecuting the other This

lamln Halle, superintendent of
grounds Of the university who few
minutes later killed himself by firing
shot into his brain. The double
tragedy occurred in the treasurer's Of

action against the two officers Of the

Sales for Che Entire State
LOOKING FOR ASSISTANTS NOW

Balzer, Molony & Comar of 143
Calhoun Street, Charleston, are be-
ing congratulated by their many
friends on having been appointed the
General Distributors for Kim milk
. for the State of South Carolina. Their
years of experience as Kim salesl
men make them Invaluable men in
this new capacity.
Chance to Get Kim Agency
Talking to reporter the other day,
Mr.. Balzer said that his primary in
terest right now was to find good live
men and women throughout the state
who would be interested in selling
Kim. Considerable headway is being
made but he pointed out that there
were thousands of towns and villages
in the state where Kim is known to
the housewives, and he wants an agent
in each town. 1t certainly looks like
good chance for men who are lookr
ing for something good to work on,
or women who would like spare time
work. From what Mr.. Balzer says,
the work is easy and interesting, and
pays well. He wants to hear from
any man or woman who is interested.
How to Get Kim Now
Until the state organization Of dis
tributors Is solidly under way, Mr..
BalZer wants it known that he is
ready to ship Kim by parcel post to
the numerous South Carolinans who
are using it now. The prices which
will prevail for these parcel post ship
ments are as follows:
Kim whole milk : / h., s 10
-2I5 lbs, 1.45
-5 lbs, 2.80
Until there is an agent in your
town, send Balzer, Molony e. Comar
your order, together with q money
order to their address given in the
first part Of this article.
New Organization Means Much
"With every little town in South
Carolina having Kiln distributor"
Mr.. Balzer went on to say, "much
will have been accomplished towards
giving the different communities q
steady supply of good country fresh
milk.
According to figures recently COM,
piled, many Of the farms in the state
have no cows. That means that good,
fresh milk like Kiln is needed. Be-
cause of It's uniformly high standard
Of purity and quality some of our
greatest baby specialists are recon-
mending It FOR infant feeding. You
can be sure that the value Of such
product will be quickly recognized by
South Carolina housewives. tits just
what Is needed to supply the milk
we lack" -

Temporary Insanity

Columbia, May G.-At the inquest
conducted by Coroner: j. B. Scott, of
lIRichland county, tonight, the jury
found that Prof. NJ. Goode Homes was
slain by Benjamin Halle, while the
latter was temporarily insane and that
Halle died by his own hand
a letter found in pocket Of Haile's
coat was read, written by\Haile, show
ing that the cause OF the tragedy was
the differences between the two men
growing out Of building operations at
the university 1t was not clear
whether this letter was written before
or after Halle shot Homes.
Bitter feeling has existed between
the two men, it seems, for six months
or more. 1t began shortly after sew
eral anonymous letters were written
to members of the board Of trustees
connection with the letting OF contracts
| for certain minor repairs at the uni
versity. These letters and the charges
made were investigated by sub-com-
mittee Of the board of trustees and
professor Homes eXonerated OF all
blame. Superintendent Halle also
conducted an investigation and this
developed the feeling TO which the let
ter left today evidently refers.
| Columbia, May en-. Goodc Homes
professor of engineering at the Uni
versity OF South Carolina, was shot
to death at ten o'clock this morning
in the office of Treasurer Huggins Of
the university, by Ben Halle, marshal
CT the institution. Mr.. Halle then
turned the weapon On himself and
fred bullet into his own brain.
| Professor Homes was shot five
to the shooting. Several were in the
Offices at the time just prior to the
shooting Miss Sawyer, a tsteno-
grapher, was asked by Mr. Halle to
leave when Mr.. Halle entered the Of
fee. This left the two men between
whom there had been sharp bitterness,
alone. Immediately several shots
we're fired. President Currell rushed
in, but was ordered to stay out by Mr..
Halle, who pointed the weapon at the
president Of the university as he did
SO.
Dean L.. r. Baker rushed In and was
ordered to stay out, and a bullet was
fired in his Objection by Mr.. Halle.
Dead Bodies Found
Peace officers were called and when
the doors were opened the dead bodies
Of both Halle and Professor Homes
were found on the floor.
Premedltated killing
A letter was found in Mr.. Haile's
pockets in which. 1t appears that Mr..
lHaile had premeditated the killing. He
refers to the Ill feeling which had de-
