I ( ( GOES TO DEATH SINGING. Columbia Record. One of the most remarkable electrocutions ever Btaged at the penitentiary was the execution today of Harvey Whaley, Calhoun county negro, who paid the same penalty already paid by his accomplice in crime. \ Feetie Fogle, for the murder of Earl 1 Wadford, planter of Lone Star. Whaley went to hiB death hum . ming a negro melody and with the declaration of his innocence, and with the almost laughable statement that the electric chair felt like a rocking chair. "I am innocent, white folks; I feel so good. This juice you are goinr ir, nlk-n ? J- lL1 '?- " *' ? o W sue II1C -IS iiutlllllg DUl UOU 3 grace," was the statement of the ig. nor ant negro, as he was strapped inJ to the chair, and halting to be assurt ed by Superintendent Sanders that what he was saying was permissable, the neg.ro added: "I am innocent, but I am safe in God. You are putting an innocent man to death, but I do not blame you." And then the spectators of the grim act of the law almost laughed when as the cap was being adjusted on the negro's head, he said: "White folks, this feels like a rockin? chair," and he went on humming until the deadly electric current put 'a stop to his song and sent his soul to another world.where if his last statement on earth was correct he will continue his song with the Angels. Whaley entered the chair at 11:39. He came into the death cell humming, and as he approached the chair, he stopped his song to ejaculate: "All I got to do, white folks is shut my eyes," and the statement seemed to be like a question. Colonel Sanders, the prison superintendent, then asked him if he *">* had anything more to sav befor he ^'T dl-'d. "t am innoceut white folks, and I hope to meet every one of f you in Heaven," he said. During the morning, before his last exist from the 'cell in which he has spent his last days, Whaley talked with Rev. M. G. Johnson, colored minister, to whom he ' first protested his innocence. He asked the minister to see that his body is sent to his people. A 1900 volt current was sent through the negro's body and he was pronounced dead in three minutes and thirty -three seconds. The body was examined after the execution by Drs. Jennings and Dillard. Whaley's death followed that of Fcetie Fogle, who was electrocuted last Spring, for the same murder. When he died, Fogle made the statement that.Whaley, who was then under arrest as an accomplice, was not guilty. Governor Cooper made a searching and costly investigation, and came to the conclusion that ^ Whaley was guilty as the instigator 1 of the crime. The governor refused to interfere with Whaley's sentence. He had already granted one reprieve to allow for the completion of his investigation. When Mr. Wadford was killed, his wife and child and a man friend who was at the house at the time, were all wounded. o Packard's Kniploynienj Plan. Adoption of the "Packard Plan" by manufacturers of this section, as a means of relieving the Winter employment situation was advocated today, following the application of the idea in one of Detroit's largest automobile factories. Mr. Rogers head of the Rogers Motors Co., has received from President Macauley of the Packard Company, a brief outline of the move'ment. , '/The soundness of the "Packard P i'lan" commends it to every manufacturing employer" says Rogers. It is just this: Cut deep into the price of the most popular product in your line. Thereby you will enlarge existing markets. The public demand for your goods will create a proportionate increase of employment for the workers. "Buying is stimulated and the effects of the movement benefit every line of business, every household and every indlvidual'in the community. "President Macauley was moved to this action by the desire of himself and other Packard executives to give employment to the largest possible .number of workmen durintr months (> that, even in ordinary years, reflect 'a seasonal slowing up'of operations. He selected one of the Packard products, the one of widest appeal, and lowered the price on it to a period permitting of the operation of this succession of influences, "Such a plan needs only the consideration of every manufacturer in this district to'insure its success. In every factory where several products are manufactured, one of these units can be reduced in price and so made attractive to the public demand, there by keeping the wheels of industry turning and a majority of the workers provided with jobs. "One of the most .valuable features of Mr. Macauley suggestion is that no elaborate machinery is needed to work this plan. No national, state or municipal organization are ref quired. It can be instituted by any jnr,/ manufacturer. The welfare of the \ community certainly warrants its consideration. ) "Many foresighted business men r " and economists believe that tlio een '/ eral acceptance' of the "Packard Plan" will do more than any measure so far brought forth to combat successfully the widespread unemployment in prospect this Winter." o Columbia Record. Senator Underwood's statement that President Harding is the "greatest man In America" arouses a doubt In our mind that Mr. Volstead didn't Inspect the presidential special before it left Washington. y , T HARMLESS DUELISTS. A dispatch from 'Rome, Italy, says that Count Pletro Rusconi and Lieutenant Altobelll. both of that city, recently engaged in a duel that is believed to have set the record for small gun practice. They faced each other on the field of honor and began hostilities which continued until they had exchanged 78 rounds, neither one having suffered serious damage. At last their seconds and the surgeons in attendance interferred and stopped the duel. o County Fait4 Chicken Premiums.
