I
e Columbia, Nov. 10.?The board of
directors of the state penitentiary de-j
elded Wednesday to deliver to the!
i? South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co- i
. operative Association all of the statej
farm's old cotton, 466 bales. Under,
the terms of the contract, signed by
the State of South Carolina, delivery
. of any cotton grown prior to 1922
was optional, the same as with other
, members of the association.
At the meeting of the directors of
the penitentiary today, the matter ofi
[ delivering the 466 old bales of cotton, |
which the board has been holding
, over, to the association, was brought
up and the board voted unanimously
j to take this step. The association was J
^ Immediately notified.
s The board has already turned over
all cotton produced in 1922 to the association
and the old cotton will be 1
. delivered tomorrow by Col. A. K. San'
ders, the superintendent.
At the 1922 session of the general
assembly a joint resolution was pass- i
ed authorizing the superintendent of
the penitentiary to sign the coopera- 1
tive marketing contract of the asso- '
t elation and subject the state to the
t provisions thereof.
Officials of the cooperative associ-1'
ation state that much enthusiasm for 1

generally given the cooperatives of

price of cotton. New contracts con*

32 came from Fairfteld county alone.

CONDEMNED MAN IN
APPARENT STUPOfl
1
To all casual observation eiths
sleeping or semi-conscious for nearl;
a week, Ira Harrison, convicted wit
Frank M. Jeffords and Glenn Trees
of the murder last May of J. C. Ai
nett, has been lying on his cot in th
death house at the state penitentiar
without having spoken a word sine
last Friday morning when he fin i
learned that his appeal to the si
preme court had been turned dow
and that he now once more faodt
death in the electric chair. HarriiOi
during the seven days has taken c (
food voluntarily and the penitential i
officials have been forced to feed hi t
in order to prevent his starving U
death.
The aunramn pnnrt knnHiul itnara <ii
decision Thursday afternoon rejectiiu
Harrison's and Jefford's appeals fe.
new trials, but both of the two prisoners
had gone to bed when penite^
tiary officials learned of the result el
their appeals until Friday morniijq
when they were allowed to read a fqll
sccoUkK of the supreme court decision
as carried in the newspapers. Jeffords,
according to penitentiary officials,
showed little emotion, bfi
Harrison almost immediately went
into what appeared to be a semi-conBcious
condition, lying on his cot wit)
his eyes closed, speechless and seeiti
ingly asleep. When
all lay efforts to bring htyr
out of his seeming coma failed phy
sicians were called in and since thai
time Harison has been under theii
care. Since this time the prisonei
has bene more or les under constan!
observation an<i has been given va
rious tests to determine whether hii
lethargy is actual or not and the phy
Bicians' conclusion is that the symp
toms and condition are feigned. Th<
usual tests revealed the fact that al
bodily functions are being carried ou
normally and Harrison, though taking
no food himself, swallows all food pu
in his mouth without difficulty. Yes
terday, according to penitentiary of
ficinls, he showed some improvemen
and when propped up in his cot wai
able to drink the milk and other ?o<
Kim Ha ta V?omnr faH thv*A4
times each day on milk, broths an<
similar foods. A nurse is also beihi
day.
It is not an unconscious state tha
Harrison is in but is, the physician1
believe, a sham stupor, the fact tha
bodily functions are normal being
practically conclusive evidence, the]
believe, of the fact that he retaini
consciousness. He also appears t<
sleep at normal intervals.
There are, of course, precedents ir
modern psychiatry for genuine stu
por caused by such a mental shock a:
Harrison received and cases have beer
cited where prisoners under shadow
of death have lapsed into dep torpors
to become normal again once the]
were informed that the sentence hac
been commuted or in some other manner
found the menace of death remov
ed. The Vaughan case in South Car
olina, if the insanity was genuine as
was believed, is a similar case.
Harrison and Jeffords, under the
normal procedure of the law, are t<
be brought before Judge Mauldin ir
court, opening November 27, and re
sentenced to die in the electrci chair

POINCARE SAYS
> FRANCE WILL ACT
e Paris, Nov. 9 (By the Associated
i- Press).?Premier Poincare told the U1
senate this evening that the French '8
L government had decided to act alone b]
e with respect to Germany if the Brusi
sels conference failed to give France "c
- satisfaction. Hj expressed the opinion
e that no general settlement of the
e reparations problems was possible un- na
less the question of interallied debts cx
was solved at the same time. ev
"France is not imperialistic,"
f declared. "I can say that she is the
1 least imperialistic of the nations, but be
? she has rights to defend. We do not wl
r contemplate any personal action be- in
t fore the Brussels conference but if
nt do not obtain satisfaction there is St
; nothing i nthe world that can prevent nu
us from acting alone in the fullness qf of
i cur rights." tic
t "There is not one Frenchman who of
r doubts the solidity of France and no ini
I foreigner has the right to doubt it," su
s Premier Poincare declared. The pre- mi
mier rejected the idea of establishing
a customs barrier along the Rhine for ve
> the benefit of the allies on the ground do
i that it would result simply in turning se
traffic in other directions. th

. Versailles treaty and the payment of fu
t German reparations. W)
M. Poincare agreed that energetic be
, action was necessary, but avoided the jn
r question of occupying the Ruhr. He Bt
k recalled that he was ready last Au,
gust to present a general plan for the
. payment of reparations and interal- H
. lied debts, but the British cabinet isj
sued a note in which the debt to Great
Britain was linked with the British
a debt to the United States. At the same
. S'
time, continued M. Poincare, Lloyd *
, George declared solemnly that it was
r necessary to accprd u moratorium to
Germany without charging her default
against her. n
I "I Remarked at ^he time," said M.
}V>:ncare, "that a moratorium ^vas a
r not contribute to uplifting the Teisch 1
^ 01 the world. I proposed that before J
granting a moratorium the allies take ?
as pledges 60 per cent in the dye industries
and aviation and establish
customs houses on the Rhine, but I ''
