DARLINGTON
MAN is SHOT
TO DEATH
Lee Sanford Killed by Paul C.
Council on Public Square

Darlington, July Lice San
ford was shot and almost stlinstantly
killed by Paul G. Council on the
public square yesterday afternoon
about 4:30 O'Clock. Four shots
were fred. three in rapid success
sion and another was fired into
Sanferd.s neck as he tried to walk
away. The first shot is the one
that caused sanfora's death, as
it took effect in the heart. The
next two shots went wild, one go
ing through the plate glass win
dow Of the Peoples Bank and the
ether being imbedded in the wood
work. The fourth and last shot
entered the feshy part of the
shoulder. A SO caliber revolver
was used.
From the accounts of the killing
it seems that Council drove up TO
the drug store in front Of where
Sanford was sitting, in a car. to
make a purchase. Sanford asked
Council if he was feeling i'll. and
Council replied that it was no
business of his and used some
curse words. Sanford took .offense
at. what was said and went over to
Council, and there were more
words passed that led to blows.
Council, it is alleged, then pulled
his pistol and fired. Sanford hit
Council a terrific blow in the face
before the gun was brought into
play. He begged Council not to
shoot, but to no avail, it is re-
ported.
Pete Council is proprietor of a
plumbing shop and has lived here
for several years. Lee Sanford
was a skilled mechanic, and was
employed by the Imperial Tobacco
Company. The men had always
been friends and no previous hard
feeling was known to exist between
them. Both men have lot Of
friends here and are we'll known.
Sanford is survived by widow and
two daughters, the oldest being a
graduate of this years high school
class.
Council did not resist arrest and
was placed in the county Jail by
Policeman Bryant. He told friends
from the Jail that he was sorry
for what had happened. but it could
not be helped The coroner's jury
brought out a verdict that Lee
Sanford came to his death from
gun shot wounds at the hands of
Paul c.. Council
There was a large crowd on the
street when the killing took place,
but it happened SO quickly that
there were only a few eyewitnesses.

REPORT ON
COTTON CROP
Improvement in Condition
Figures Noted in South
Carolina

Was ashington, July 19.-An un-
usually good week for cotton was
reported by the weather bureau to
day in it's crop and weather re-
view for the week ending yester-
day. The weather was favorable
for cotton in nearly all sections Oh
the belt. it was said.
@The temperature averaged near
normal in all districts with general
light to moderate showers east OF
the Mississippi river and mostly
| light rainfall to the westward ex-
tcept for moderate TO heavy rains
| in Central and Eastern Oklahoma,
the review added.
"very good progress of the crop
/ was reported from the Carolinas.
Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana,
and also in Texas except the late
planted which was mostly poor.
The crop made excellent growth
| in Oklahoma. where it was bloom
/ ing and fruiting nicely in most
| sections. Progress was poor to
| fair is Mississippi and generally
! fair in Alabama and Georgia. Some
shedding was reported from South
ern Texas, but in general the crop
was fruiting fairly we'll in that
State.
Improvement Noted.
Cotton was in very good con-
dition in North Carolina except In
the eastern portion where it was
still showing the effect of previous
wet weather. Improvement in the
condition Of the crop was noted IN
South Carolina and Georgia with
bolls forming nicely in the. latter
State.
Condition was generally fair IN
Alabama, except that it was poor
in some southeastern sections: the
plants were generally small but
/; fruiting. Its condition was gen
!. orally fair in Oklahoma and ranged
| from fair to excellent in Southern
and Western Texas and generally
fair elsewhere in that State.
While temperatures were mod
crate in Oklahoma and Arkansas,
sunshine was somewhat deficient
and there was considerably cloudy
weather which increased weevil ac-
tivity. but damage was somewhat
kept in c.eck by dry weather. The
weevils were appearing In increas-
| ing numbers in the, more north
eastern portions Of the belt and
continued numerous in the central
and southeastern portions. with
MUGS damage in somel ocalltles.
Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes made good to
excellent growth in the Southern
States under favorable weather
/ conditions. and sugar cane con-
tinued good growth in the lower
Mississippi Valley. but some fields
were abandoned to grass. Peanuts
we're doing we'll in Florida. but
continued in poor condition in Viz
ginia.
Tobacco was generally fine in
Kentucky and much was topped,
but there was some complaint OF
rust locally. The late crop was
growing we'll in Kentucky, except
in the northern Burley district
yhar" rain was needed. 1t was
somewhat too vet in parts OF Ten
nessee for the best growth Of this
crop. Curing continued in South
Carolina.
