- Barnwell, May 13: Virgil Wealth
ersbee, a young white man of this
county, aged about sixteen years, was
shot and instantly killed this after
noon on the streets of Barnwell by o.
d. Moore, a business man of Smelling.
The shooting took place at the side
door of Jeffcoat's garage where, it is
said, Moore was standing as his atl-
tomobile was being worked upon by
mechanics. At the inquest, held a
short time after the shooting, it was
testified that there had been bad
blood between the parties for some
time, it being alleged that short time
ago the dead man fired from his house
into an automobile in which Moore
with friends was passing along the
road. 1t was further alleged that
threats had been conveyed to Moore
that his life was in danger at the
hands Of young Weathersbee.

WATERMELoNs AND SEED USED
FOR MANY PURPOSES

partment Of Agriculture has found that
there are numerous uses for water.
melons outside Of their consumption
as popular fruit. Housewives have
long been familiar with pickles and
preserves made from watermelon rind.
In China and other oriental countries
watermelon seed is used as table
delicacy. Seedsmen in this country
not only ship seed for this purpose,
but also find a market for their pro-
duct in Chinese districts of New York
and San Francisco. This liking for
the seed is evidently not restricted to
the Orient, for some years ago we'll

tribe that sharpened the teeth in order
to better strip the bulls from water
melon seeds. Within recent years a
manufacture vinegar from the juice,
and from Russia come reports that
during the past few years of hardship
concentrated wtermelon juice has been
used in place of sugar to sweeten
coffee.
The production of watermelon seed
is an industry by itself. In single
county in Florida approximately 1000
acres of watermelons are grown an
nually for seed purposes. This one
section supplies great proportion Of
the watermelon seed planted in the
United States, and on occasion also
ships to foreign planters. In recent
years shipments of seed for planting
have been made to Tarsus, Asia Minor,
to China, and other far-distant points.
During past years profits in our
southern watermelon industry have
been severely cut, due to the effect
of several destructive diseases. An
thracnose, a fungus disease of the
foliage and fruit, means reduced yield
and pock-marked melons that rot in
the field and in the freight car Stem
end rot is a trouble that occurs in
transit only, and originates with in
lection of the melon by the casual
organism at the cut stem. Anthrac-
nose is controlled by spraying the
vines; stem-end rot by the practice

BUTTERMILK GOOD FOR PIGS
Very Little Danger Of Overlooking An
ima's Provided Some Grain 10
Given Daily.

Several years ago at the Iowa sta
ton they fed spring pigs Ill the but
termilk they would drink, together
with corn and tankage from self-feed-
ers. These pigs averaged about four
gallons of butterlnilk per head daily,
together with about two andaone-half
pounds Of corn and one-seventh Of q
pound Of tankage. But they used the
buttermilk to excellent advantage,
gaining one and one-half pounds per
pig daily as compared with one and
one-tenth pounds for the pigs on self
feeders of corn and tankage with no
buttermilk.
Buttermilk has an almost Identical
feeding value with skim-milk and we
may conclude therefore that there Is
very little danger Of over-feeding pigs
on either skim-milk or buttermilk, pro-
vided at least two or three pounds of
grain per pig daily are fed in addi-
ton.

The high-frequency current Is known
as the carrier-wave and its function
is to radiate into space in the form CT
electromagnetic waves and by its va
ration in amplitude carry with 1t the
, ting station.
It is the frequency of the carrier
wave that determines the wave-length
on which radiophOne station Is trans
mitted. BY experiment 1t has been
found that electro magnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that is, 10000 miles per
second Wave-length is the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves in the same direction,
measured in meters, q unit Of length
equal approximately to one and one.
tenth yards. Converting $4,000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 30O,OOO,OO0
meters. The length Of an electro-mag-
netic wave is equal then to 800 100000
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on a wave
length Of 800 meters. The frequency
of the carrier-wave would be approx
mately 1886, 900 cycles.
Just as a violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that Is, makes a certain string
emit note of higher or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking, sound wave
OF higher or lower frequency, by ad-
justing the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants Of the
antenna circuit of a radiophone trans
mitter be changed in order to have
the station emit a carrier-wave Of q
different frequency.

electrical resonance. Stations trans
hitting on any wave-length other than
800 meters will not cause a current
to be set up in the receiver.
The portion Of radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which It
is electrically resonant is called
tuner. Suppose that "A" station trans
mits on a wave-length Of 200 meters
and ''B" on wave-length Of 800 me
tiers. BY adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make it elec-
trically resonant to a 2OO-meter wave
or 36O-meter wave, either Of the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked up simulta-
neously. This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
at one time and yet only one can be
heard on a receiver without interior
ence from the others.
The other necessary part of q radio
receiver is the detector. The function
Of this portion OF the receiver is to
utilize the small currents In the tuner
that are set up by a transmitting sta
ton and make them audible through
the medium Of telephone receiver. II
the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
!! phragm Of the receiver and even If the
diaphragm were set in motion 1t would
be too fast a motion to be picked up
by the human ear
In simple receiver the detector u.s.
ually consists Of two pieces Of mineral
| in contact or piece of mineral in con-
tact with metallic spring. Either
combination Is known as crystal de-
tector. A detector Of this type is moth
Ing more than rectifler; that is, when
an alternating current is applied at the
terminals the current is allowed to
flow only in one direction.

field about the tips Of the magnet and
this same kind Of field propagates
the electromagnetic force except that
unlike the toy magnet, it's power comes
off in the form Of wavy motions. This
electromagnetic force propagates ra-
do energy in all directions.
The medium that transmits the cleo
tro-magnetic waves is the same me-
dfum that transmits light-the ether.
This medium is supposed to fill all
space, even that occupied by fluids and
critics.
In radio it is more common to speak
Of wave length than frequency. The
wave length of any wave motion is the
distance between any two successive
erests in the same direction. The
w1ve length depends upon the fire.
quency. II the frequency is high the
wave length is short. On the other
hand II the frequency Is low the wave
length Is long Numerically the wave
length is equal to the distance trav-
eled by the wave in one second divided
By the frequency. Suppose, for ex-
ample, that it were desired to know
the wave length Of an electromagnetic
wave having frequency Of ss5, 200
cycles. Electromagnetic waves travel
1T the same speed as do light waves,
nat is, $4,000 miles per second. d.
viding the 10000 by $4,000 the wave
length would be .223 miles or 800
yards. In radio work it is measured
In meters. A meter IL equal to ap-
pronmately IL yards. Converting 398
yards into meters the wave length
would be 396 divided by IL or 800
meters. This is the wave length on
which KDKA operates. It also means
that the electromagnetic waves sent
out from this station have frequency
Of 1896, 900 cycles.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
In a radiophone transmitter there
are two requirements that must be
fulfilled. First, there must be source
Of high frequency current, say, between
$1,000 and 100000 cycles so con-
nected to an antenna and ground sys-
tenn that, energy in the form Of electro
magnetic waves will be radiated. Sec
ond, there must be some method Of
controlling this high-frequency current
or modulating it SO that the variations
in the amplitude Of the high-frequency
current Will be directly proportional
- the voice or music to be transmitted.
