Some Happenings OF the Past Week

Giving testimony in a divorce suit

called weaker sex is not always ad-
visable, Frau Emma Kruger is con
WINGED She describes her exper-
fence along that line as "peppery. "
She testified recently that her
neighbor. Frau Minna Boettger,
neglected her house-work and was
the cause of Herr Boettger merital
infelicity.
On her way home from the court
Krau Kruger suddenly heard an
excited voice behind her and before
she had a chance to defend herself,
everything went dark before her
eyes and she felt a biting pain in
her eye-lids and pupils. Her est
while friend Frau Boettger, had re-
venged herself by throwing finely
ground red pepper into Frau Kreu-
gers eyes. Passers-by who witness
e dthe scene threatened to lynch the
assailant, whereupon Frau Boettger
fled into a nearby police headquar-
ters and was promptly arrested.

FEDERAL PEN
INMATES WILL
MAKEU.S. SHOES
Million Dollar Boot Factory
Built Within Walls of Leaven-
worth Prison

FIT LEAVENWORTH, Kan,
Sept 30.-A million dollar factory
within the prison walls of the Fort
Leavenworth federal penitentiary
will begin making shoes for the men
fthe army and navy and federal
institutions next January. Warren
F. Goldwaite will be its superin-
tendent.
One of the serious problems with
which Warden W. I. Biddle has had
to contend is that of finding en-
ployment for his prisoners. The
shoe factory will put to work TOO
convicts whose time now is idle. The
men will be taught trade; small
remuneration will go partly toward
the support of their families and
partly into fund at interest, to be
pail them on their release. The
government will take a profit from
production.
The plant is expected TO turn out
from $500 to 5000 pairs of shoes
daily when operating at its capacity
but this will not be possible until
skilled labor has been developed
among the prison -laborers. When
the peak of quality Indignantly has
been attained, the penitentiary will
begin manufacturing footwear for
the army and navy, and later a
work shoe in a EDITION, for other in
stitutions maintained by the gov
eminent.
The factory was built by man
power at a great saving in cost,
Wherever some expensive machin
cry could be replaced by manual la
Dor. it was done. When it was nee
essary to hoist tons of brick and
steel, cement and crushed stone ito
the workers on the skeleton fourth
story, a series of runaways was rig
eed up from lumber sawed at the
prison mill, and up these runways
the convicts trundled their wheel
barrows of construction material.
81 HUNDRED wards of the govern
ment helped build the plant.
The factory will be fireproof
throughout, with large windows and
white enamel walls. The floor sur
face will be impervious to grease
and shoe backing. Modern sani-
tary and safety devices and the la
test shoe-building equipment will be
used.
Superintendent GoIdwaite came
n Fort Leavenworth frAm Haver-
hill Mass, where he had completed
a quarter Of a century, manutac'
tory. He will be assis by five
civilian foremen.

Oxford trousers, as Lady Wilson
sees them. are all right, in their
place, butt she doesn't think the
legs of English gentlemen the prop
er place for them. She thinks the
students and other young men who
affect them ought to bundle them
all all up and send them to her to
be made over into clothing for the
poor children of the southern Irish
"1oyalists."
"My idea," she said. ais that our

trousers, but these bags are made
of good warm material, and with

UNUSUAL POTATOES
CROWN BY C. A. MOORE

The distinction of growing the
most unusual looking sweet pota-
toes in Sumter County this year
should go to G. A. Moore, resident
Of the 18th District, who brought
two tubers to the Times-Recorder
office this morning, one weighing
two and a half pounds and measur-
ing "a inches in length and the 9TH
e. weighing a little more than two
pounds and measuring exactly IA
inches. Both potatoes came off
the same vine, and Mr.. Moore at
tributes their unusual length to the
fact that they were compelled TO
"stretch themselves" in seeking
moisture. The potatoes are Of
Porto Rican variety.

That's the question that the Rev.

His entire sermon was devoted to
a defense of modern dress.

Medical men say that sunlight
and air are most beneficial to the
body.
"And the society lady with her
low-necked dress certainly is more
beautiful than her Dunlard sister
with her bonnet and cape.
much comment has been made
about women wearing knickers, but
we must at least admit that she is
more completely covered than the
average women. Knickers are SER
viceable and sensible on many occa-
sions, 50 why shouldn't women wear
them?"

TAX IS INVALID
Bill Passed at Last Session Of

ATLANTA, Oct. 3.-The Georgia
Supreme court will be asked to rule
upon the new inheritance tax law,
passed by the recent legislature, it
vas stated at the capital today.
The announcement followed an
opinion by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral 7. R. Gress to the effect that
the new law is invalid, because il
does not specifically repeal the old
one.
State Commission Dozier stated
ehat he would enforce the ruling of
the assistant attorney holding the
law valid.
ATLANTA, Oct. 3.-Collapsa of
one of the major pieces of lepisls-
ton enacted by the recent genera
assembly was seen Friday in a ruI.
ing by Thomas R. Gress. assistant
attorney general, that the inherit
ahce tax law passed by the 19a5
legislature does not repeal the old
law, and that the old law is. there.
fore, still in effect.
Giving it as his opinion that it
Is the duty of James A. Dozier,
state tax commissioner. to assess
and collect inheritance taxes under
provisions of the law as it stood at
the time of the passenger of the last
act, Mr.. Gress declared that there
is nothing in the caption or the
body of the act of 1925 that repeats
the previous act.
Even if the recent act should be
held by the supreme court to be a
valid piece Of legislation, Mr.. Gress
said that he is of the opinion that
no inheritance tax whatever could
be assessed and collected on estates
of non-residents because the act
specifically states that the tax is to
be collected from the estate of ANY
person who may die a residen of
this state" and does not mention
non-residents.
