The State, 25th.
Jesse Gappins, one of the three
convicted murderers of William Brazell,
the young Columbia taxi driver,
and who is now in the death housl at
the penitentiary awaiting October 21,
the date set for his electrocution,
will not be electrocuted on the day
set, an appeal to the supreme court
staying the ^death penalty until this
court can hear the case.
T. C. Sturkie, appointed attorney
for Gappins at the trial at Lexington,
served notice on Solicitor T. C. Oafllison
at Lexington yesterday that he
would appeal the verdict of the circuit
court to the supreme court. This
notice, Mr. Callison said last night,
would automatically stay the death
sentence of Gappins until the supreme
court could hear the case. Attorney
Sturkie merely served notice of intention
to appeal, but this is sufficient
to stop the electrocution, Solicitor
0?.ll?0/vw CO i ^
VOUaOVU ouiui
Whether or not Mr. Sturkie intends
to prepare his appeal for the approaching
term of the supreme court
. is not known. The court begins its
fall session two weeks from tomorrow
and the appeal could be heard this
fell, but it is doubtful if this will be
v- done as plenty of time is always alw
lowed. If the case is heard at the
term a decision will hardly be i1
readied before Christmas as the court
.will be in session until after Thanksgiving.
If it is not heard at this term <
of court it will probably come before
the spring term of 1922.
Solicitor Callison said last night
that no notices of intention to appeal
in the cases of S. J. Kirby and C. 0.
Fox, the other two convicted murderers.
had been served oh him as yet.
These two prisoners -with Gappins are J
t all in the death hoUse and Fox and
Kirby will in ail probability be put to
death October 21 as sentenced by
Judge Sease unless their appointed
attorneys appeal to-the supreme court
as the governor is not expected to
take a hand in their behalf. The 1
chief executive has not said what he
will do, but from has known attitude
it is practically certain that he wjll
"play hands off." The governor-'has
said that he did not expect any ap-j
* peals to be made and the action of |
Attorney Sturkie will probably come j
as a surprise <to the chief executive !
as Mr. Sturkie was appointed by the
court.
The three prisoners have somewhat
abandoned their attitude of unconcern
over their approaching desth,
so far as all three know, and are beginning
to realize their fate, according
to prison officials. All three seem
to be getting more and more serious
as October 21 approaches.
While Fox and Kfrby are awaiting j
theiT death an ever increasing crowd j
of curiosity seekers are writing or
asking in person for passes to see the
electrocutions. A large number of
requests have come to Col. A. K.
Sanders, superintendent of the penitentiary,
and to Governor Cooper.
Practically all of these will be turned
down, it is said, as only a limited
number can be allowed in the death
house and officers of the law who have
been handling the cases of the three
men will take up most of these nlaces.
Card of Thanks.

CHURCHES OF NEWBERRY
WELCOME COLLEGE STUDENTS
A union service of the churdhes oi
the city was held Sunday evening al
the Lutheran Church of the Redeemei
to welcome the students of Newberry
:ollege who have recently entered upan
a new year at the college.
- ' -' : r>V.nvr.Vi
liiiG main auci.'.uriuiii ui 'uit v.nun.i
and the Sunday school room were
completely filled with the students
ind faculty of the college, the minis;ers
of the town and a large number
3f town people. The speaker of the
jvening was Dr. R. A. Goodman, professor
of the new department of
Christianity^ of Newberry college.
The services opened with the
ivmn. "All Hail the Power of Jesus'
*J """ ? 7 ?
Mame," followed by Scripture reading
Dy Dr. C. A. Freed from the 25th
Aapter of Matthew, and Dr. J. L.
Daniel offered prayer for the stulents
who have come into our midst,
rhe hymn, "I Need Thee, Precious
fr>?nc " ^,-as sun? and tfhe Rev. Mr.
3abb in a few well chosen remarks
;xtended a welcome to the students
n behalf of the ministers and church?s
of 'tihe town, saying that the presence
of so many Newberry people
spoke more eloquently than words the
velcome accorded them. He gracefully
introduced Dr. Goodman and
ilso extended to him a welcome.
Dr. Goodman in his introductory
emarks explained the purpose of the
rkiioa-p Yonnc Men's Christian Asso
U"V6V o
riation and stated that this associa;k>n
would hereafter be open also to
;he young men1 of the town in order
o make them more useful in Christian
service.
The subject of his sermon centered
iround the story of the talents from
;he 25th chapter of Matthew's gospel,
tnd the keynote of his remarks was
faithfulness. This subject was very
ippropriate and he handled it in a
nasterlv manner.
After singing the Doxology beneliction
was pronounced by the Rev.
Mr. Babb.
.West End Defeats Oakland
West End defeated Oakland 7 to

Newberry, Sept. 24.?There are no i
new developments in the case of the i
[ serious beating and robbery of Mr. c
: r.nd Mrs. H. Johns, near Chappells, (
i the night of September 12, except
. that officers succeeded yesterday in 1
finding the money box of the aged jl
couple, an iron box 12 by 14, weigh- !c
ling 50 pounds. It was found some |(
distance back of the store and resi- j
I dence, where it had been broken open i
with a rock. The money, about $30, jl
.had been abstracted, but the papers ?

|
j The negro John Golden, arrfcsted c
the day after the robbery, told the 1
| officers where to look for the box. He t
j confessed to being one of the negroes c
, who attacked Mr. and Mrs. Johns, but ^
! says the other negro, whom de de- *
csribed, was the one that beat the !
, man and his wife and also took the '
money, giving him $5<^of it and keep- j
ing the rest. But the officers have ^
(found about $25 on Golden?$4.25 \
I _
in his pocket when he was arrested,
and since then other sums hidden in
his clothes and in the mattresses in 1
'his cell. |
It is now certain that Golden and '
the other negro who committed the
crime were .on the Chester county
chaingang at the same time, being ,
released September 6. Golden and the !
, Chester county officials agree in the I
description of the other negro, who j
passed under the name of Will Harris:
Dark gingercake color, nearly
black; about five feet 10 or 11 inches j ^
tall; weighing about lt>o pounas;i
about 25 years old; two upper front
gold teeth protruding; may have scar
of old wound in side. The sheriff has
offered $50 for his arrest.

for the first time to the reflection of
L'he sun's glare from the snow.
It is quite common for people unaccustomed
to the bril'liance of the i
sun in a vast snowfield to lose their
vision temporarily. To prevent this,
the twenty-six Goldwyn players painted
black grease square directly beneath
their eyes and on their cheek

from the snow and subdued it before j
it could reach the eye itself. After j

The "Planetary" Ford
There's a question that , puzzles the
whole world I know,
For every'one wonders where all ine i
Fords go,
It's surely a mystery, you'll hear people
say,
While we're turning out over four
thousand per day.
But I know and I won't kep them
long in suspense,
For Ford cars go wherever you'll
find folks with sense,
And they're just learning that to get
their money's worth,
They must purchase the cheapest and ,
best car on earth.
Perhaps some day when all earthly
folks are supplied,
Ford sales will reach out to the universe
wide,
We'll be shipping by airplane Ford
' 1 ? ?
tractors anu cais,
To fill orders taken by agents on ,
Mars.
It might prove too cold for gas cars
on the moon,
But sales should be fine on the planet
Neptune,
And some day Ford cars of the wellknown
"T" pattern,
Will make a speedway of the broad
rings of Saturn. I
f
I know folks who read this will say r
I'm a nut, \
And that brainstorms are raging in e
my occiput,
Maybe so, but just take it from a C
fellow who knows, s
There'll be a satisfied buyer where'c
every Ford goes. jr

is almost remarkable inasnuch
