SACCO, VANZETO PUT TO DEATH Charlestown State Prison, Boston, Aug. 23.—Nicola Sacco and Bartolo meo Vanzetti shortly after midnight this morning paid the penalty of death exacted by the state for murder. Celestino Madeiros preceded them to the electric chair by a few minutes, the world known radicals following as rapidly as the execution routine would permit. ' Madeiros died at 12:09 a. m., for the murder of a Wrentham bank cash ier. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed J. A. BAILEY Clintoa. S. C.

Vi siting also were the press wires wh'vh informed the world that the long fight to save the men was at an eni. j The fight in behalf of the men con tinued until the last minute. Both Sacco and Vanzetti made brief speeches in the death chamber before they took their seats in the chair, Van zetti protesting his innocence to the last. % Sacco, pale but steady, shouted in Italian: “Long live Anarchy,” as he sat down in the chair. Then in broken English he went on: “Farewell my wife and child and all my friends.” The straps were being adjusted as he said his last words: “Good even ing, gentlemen. Farewell, mother.” Vanzetti entered the death chamber the calmest of all the three men. Shak ing hands with two of the guards as he came through the door of the elec trocution chamber, he walked unassist ed to the chair and seated himself. As the guards began the hasty ad justment of straps to his head and body he began a speech. In the broken English that charac terized his dramatic plea for "justice” when sentence was passed on him in “I _ , _ _ __ wi want to tell you I am innocent and Fresh Ground Lorn Meai. we ai- never eonn ected with any crime, but SO buy Grain in exchange for any sometime some sin.

A welcome awaits you. man .*• Then just as the guards slipped the straps and head cap in place, cutting off further speech, he shouted: “I wish to forgive some people for what they are now doing to me.” A moment after the official witness es entered the death chamber, Madei ros was led in between two guards. The youth, who had won five respites because of his confession that a gang with which he was connected commit ted the South Braintree murders, was stolid and expressionless. His eyes wandered about th^ little group of witnesses as he was strap ped to the chair, but he said nothing. 12:03:37 the shock was applied. He was pronounced dead at 12:09:35. Madeiros came in at 12:02:47. At Then came Sacco. Apart from the prison pallor, the little shoe worker ed denim shirts,, gray trousers, gray sicks and black slippers. The left leg of the trousers had been split up to the knee to permit appli cation of the electrodes to the flesh. In each case exertion was made by Dr. George Burgess Magrath. medical examiner from Suffolk county. Sur geon General F. P. Williams, Dr. Jo seph I. McLaughlin, prison physician, guests of the warden. These were Doc- and two physicians were present as tors Howard A. Lothrop of Boston, and William Otis Faxon, Dedham jail physician. The other official witnesses were Warden William Hendry, Deputy War den James Hogsett, Sheriff Samuel Capen of Norfolk county, and W. E. Playfare of the Associated Press. The bodies were removed from the death chamber shortly after the exe cution and taken to the North Grove street mortuary, where an autopsy was performed by Dr. Magrath. Ar rangements were made last night by Gardner Jackson, representing the Sacco-Vanzetti defence committee, to claim the bodies later on behalf of the relatives.

He walked erect between the guards, his eyes flashing brightly about the group in the death chamber as he came. He sat down in the chair tihd as the guards began to attach the straps he shouted in a voice that rang strangely through the little white room: “Viva I’anarchia!” (Long live anarchy). Almost without pause lie continued, this time in broken English: “Farewell, my wife and child and all my friends.” When the work of the guards was almost complete he looked about the ;group of witnesses again and said: “Good evening, gentlemen.” Then just as the head straps were being applied came Sacco’s last re mark. It was “Farewell, mother.” Hardly had Sacco’s body been plac- !ed behind a screen at the rear of the chamber than the guards appeared again in the doorway leading in from the death cells. This time Vanzetti was in their charge. •He showed no sign of nervousness or hesitation. As he entered the cham ber at the rear and to the left of the chair he shook hands with several guards. Seated in the chair, he launched at once into a brief speech. “ I wish to tell you,” he said, “that I am innocent and never committed any crime, but sometimes some sin. I thank you, Mr. Warden, for all you have done for me. “I am innocent of all crime, not only this one, but all. I am an inno cent man.” Vanzetti paused while the guards continued their grim task of attach ing the electrodes to his leg. Then, just before his eyes were covered, he continued. “I wish to forgive some people for what they now are doing to me.” Then the current was applied. In the case of Madeiros the amper age was from nine to eleven, and the voltage from 1,499 to 1,900/ For Sacco the amperage was from 12 to 15 and the voltage frpixLJAOO to 2,000. In Vanzetti’s execution the am perage was from nine to eleven, the voltage from 1,400 to 1,950. It was explained that the greater voltage in the case of Sacco was made necessary by the fact that he was an unusually ragged and vital type. The men were dressed in blue strip- ♦ FARM DEMONSTRATION * j ♦ NEWS ♦ ♦ C. B. CANNON, Count, Af.nl ♦ a ♦ Clemson Expert To Discuss Care of Cream In Shipping R. E. Waters, dairy specialist, Clem son college,-will be in the county on Friday, August 19, for the purpose of discussing care of cream. Three meet ings will be held under the direction of the county agent: Laurens court house, at 10 o’clock' Harris’ store at 2:30, Youngs sec tion. Greenpond school house, 4:30. Those who are^ interested in dairy ing are urged to be present. I feel that those who are using a dairy cow are the ones who are passing through the depression with least resistance. Boll Weevil Situation A number of reports are coming in to my office concerning the boll wee vil. I find within the last ten days our infestation has increased.^ Traveling rather extensively, I do not find any thing serious throughout the county just yet, although there are spots where dusting is justified, and a few farmers are dusting no.w. Inspecting a large majority of the fields I find that dry weather, wet plowing, insuffici ent amount of fertilizer and wet weather has been our biggest loss. Of course with wet weather goes the grass crop damage. I do not believe the county has over five per cent wee vil infestation. I recommend that wherever ten per cent infestation oc curs that a farmer use calcuim arse nate dust, at the rate of ten to twelve pounds per Acre, four to five days apart, and at least two or three dust ings. With the prospect of a crop it would seem to me unwise for a farmer to run the risk of weevil damage sim ply by not using a few dollars’ tforth of calcium arsenate. I am of the opin ion that if the weevil infestation is held from ten to Fifteen per cent for the next three weeks, and the season favorable, we are bound •for a good cotton crop. If you are in doubt as to whether or not you should use dust I shall be glad to visit your farm and make an estimation. ; Four H Club Boys to Clemson On the 25th of August there will be between 45 and 50 boys who will at tend the Four H club encampment at Clemson college. These boys are farm boys of Laurens county, who are tak ing project work under the supervision of the county agent. These boys will be carried to and from the college in school busses, under the supervision of the county agent. They will return home on the afternoon of August 27. The last day will be visitors’ day, to which an invitation4s sent to all the parents to visit Clemson that day. Farmers’ Week Most of the farmers of Laurens county have received from this office literature concerning Farmers’ Week at Clemson college on August 29 to September 3. A number of farmers have been to this office, stating that they are making plans to attend Farmers’ Webk. This being the first Farmers’ Week Clemson college has eveijield I am sure that it is to your interest to attend it. Fall Garden I insist that each farmer begin now for his fall and winter garden. He may plant at this time beans, English peas, cabbage, collards, radish, carrots, kale, spinach, and parsley. Cuttings from tomato vines may also be planted at this time. These will produce green to matoes by frost time, of which the vines may be pulled then and hung under a shelter for ripening of toma toes. NOTICE!
