ATTORNEY FILES
GAPPINS APPEAL
No Word From Fox and Kirby
Ca3es as Yet?May Be Dismissed
by Supreme Court
me ?iaie, isi.
T. C. Sturkie, attorney for Jesse
Gappins, one of the Brazell murder
trio, has completed the appeal to the
supreme court for Gappins and the
4 papers in the case have been filed with
the clerk of the court. The appeal
will be heard on the call of the Eleventh
circuit, which will be some time
in May.
So far the Gappins appeal is the
only one of the three to reach the supreme
court and it is very probable
that the alleged appeals of C. 0. Fox
and S. J. Kirby will be dismissed by
the supreme court as soon as Solicitor
falb'snri makps the nroner motion
for the dismissal, as attorneys for
both of these men have never completed
their appeals, so far as is
known, and the time has Ion?: smce
elapsed.
The notice of appeal to the /nil
supreme court from the refusal of
Justice Cothran to grant a stay cf execution
in the Fox case is all that nas
been received by the court and this
will, in all probability, it is thought,
result in the throwing out of this case.
In his appeal Gappins bases his entire
plea on the grounds that no official
record is available showing that
the grand jury which indicted him
was sworn. On these grounds, Gappins
says that the court was witi out
jurisdiction and that he was deprived
of his .life and liberty without due
process of law as provided tor by
Article 5, Section 1, of the United
States constitution.
Don't let a cold han<* on; it mn\

Last Friday night the scouts held 5
their regular meeting at headquar- I
ters. The troop was formed and religious
exercises held. The routine \
business was dispensed with. We f
turned our attention to the subject of
baseball and decided that we would 5
not make it a :roop activity until va- t
cation. The scoutmaster announced ^
that at the next meeting a committee I
would report on the point system. It ;
was announced that Dr. Kneece would 1
give us our first aid exam, on Tues- 5
day night. There being no further i
business the troop was dismissed.
' t
On Tuesday night the scouts wish- s
ing to pass their first aid reported to i
Dr. Kneece's office. Eighteen ques- ^
tions were asked, among them was. *
"Demonstrate artificial respiration." All
who had been attendant upon the 1
lectures given by Dr. Kneece passed
the exam successfully. One scout on- s
!y, who had missed five of the lcc- <
tures, failed to pass. t

SCOUT EDUCATION REAL
CURE FOR "FIDGITARIANISM'
By George S. Wyckoff, scout execu
tive, Terre Haute, Ind.
Some one has said that when Goc
made the first man he mad'j the work
..'.gnifieant, but when he made th(
first boy he made it interesting
Teachers know only too well the cap
acity a boy has for making things in
teresting, and this capacity for mak
ing things interesting is nothing mor<
nor less than what we have long call
ed the "boy problem." And did yoi
ever stop to t!imk that all or our la
ni'iiar problems?the crime problem
the labor problem, the church prob
lem, the political problem, the wa'
problem, are but the "boy problem'
grown up?
It has appeared to another observ
er that "man is made of dust, but i
boy is made of dust-pIus-oJectricity.'
A teacher would express this by say
ir.g the boy is a fidgetarian, and "fid
getarianism" analyzed Is found to b<
constituted of nothing more alarming
than instincts, to run, climb, throw
gang build, hide, collect, make canlp
fires and the dramatic and religiou:
instincts.
All of these instincts, inconvenien
as they are in the school room, an
nevertheless the "tadpole's tail." The)
can not be cut off; they must be ab
jorbed and utilized for full develop
ment. And as the highest aim of ed
ucation is full development, we have
in the scout plr^for applying these
instincts a great big educational pro
gram to supplement that of th:
schools, that of the church and tha
of the home.
And, of course, this point in a dis
course on the educational aspect oj
scouting could not be passed withou'
reference to Dean Russell's celebrat
ed statement that "the scout pro-jrarr
is th*e most significant educationa
movement of the age." It iz char
acter education by "directed doing'
of the things that a boy naturall:
wants to do. It is recognition of th<
fact that a boy is being educated?
that is, he is receiving imprecsiom
and forming habits?four waking
hours out of school to one that he i:
being educated in school.
In brief, the plan works like this
On one side we set up"the things wc
svant the boy to do; on the other side
ve put the things that he naturallj
ivants to do; we tie them together anc
make it all one game, and because
;hey are part of the game he simply
insists on living up to all the virtue:
prescribed.
The things we want the boy to dc
ire represented in the twelve points
)f the scout law: A scout must be
:rustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful,
.1-1
jirniy, wave, mean, icvcicnu
The things the boy wants to do
ippear in the "units of achievements"
lecessary for becoming successively
i Tenderfoot, a Second class, a First
lass and a Merit Badge scout. These
;hings comprise the endless features
)f camping, woodcraft, signaling, fire>uilding,
swimming, and first aid to
he injured, and are all practical, contructive
and definitely useful accomjlishments.
The motto of the scout is "Be Pre)ared."
As education is preparation
'or life, so the scout is preparing
limself to be the sort of citizen who
hall more than ever be needed in the
;mo! tn r?mnr? Arid furthprmnrp.
le is "prepared" for present emergencies.
The scout is the fellow alvavs
at hand who, through his trainng,
knows what to do, how to do it,
tnd intelligently and cheerfully does
t. *
A scout is expected to do a "good
urn" every day. The scouts are the
ichooi's organized and honored helpng
force, the community's organized
lelping force, and the hundreds of
housands of scouts constitute Uncle
Sam's great helping force of picked
)oys.
Truly the patriotic significance of
icout movement can not be over
?ctimated. Uncle Sam recognized
his in 191G when the congress of the
Jnited States granted the Boy Scouts
>f America a federal charter and secJon
125 of the army reorganization
aw specified his uniform along with
he army, the navy, the marine corps,
he national guard and the naval mili,ia.
The question in your mind is,
'What lies together the things we
,vant the boy to do and the things he
naturally wants to do?" It is the oath'
' a boy takes when he becomes a Tenderfoot
scout: On my honor I will
- do my best.
1. To do my duty to God and my
1 country, and to obey the Scout law.
I ' 2. To help other people at all times.
i 3. To keep myself physically
. strong, mentally awake, and morally
. straight.
Surely a safe program to which the
- boys of your school, of your communj
ity and of your country.

RAIN PREVENTS
NEWBERRY GAME
Comers Only Hesitate on College
Campus?No Chance to
Play
The State, 1st.
The Comers marched to Newberry
yesterday afternoon, turned right
around and marched right out again.
It was raining when Manager Zinn
Beck, President Foster and 17 players
reached Newberry and it was raining
when they left. The Comers
dressed and waded out to Newberry
college field, but soon after arriving
on the campus it was seen that baseball
was out of the -question for the
afternoon and the players hotfooted
;< Hnrk to their hotel, did a quick
change act and barely caught a train
that returned them to the Jackson
shortly after 5 o'clock.
The failure to play the game disappointed
many Newberry fans who
were anxious to see Watson Luther,
Columbia boy and college pitcher exfvanv^i'rmrv.
trv his shoots against
professionals. Columbia's team is
very popular in Newberry and President
Foster and Manager Beck were
busy acknowledging good wishes for
success for the champions in the Saliy
season about to open.
Before starting on the hike to Newberry,
Manager Beck released Pitcher
Ditch and Outfielders Riley and Woolnnv,n
Q1?p vnunc and show

promise but their lack of experience
prevents their making the Class B
grade at this time.
As the three go, however, three
more are about to arrive. Catcher
Hartman is on his way here from St
Louis. He is the lad recommended
by Dick Kerr. Outfielder Murphy,
secured from the New Haven club in
the Lacy deal, will report tomorrow
and a telegram from "Bird" Hope
last night said he would report Monday.
NEWBERRY RiAYYET HAV?
rwANPI? TO PLAY COMERS ^
It was a great disappointment to
the Newberry "fan3" that they did
not get to see the Indians cros3 bats
with the "Comers" Friday afternoon.
Hcwever, we may yet have a chance
to see the "Comers" in action as an
