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."

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 ,

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.
