Hardy Qralns . Do Well.
Especially hurdy strains of grains do
well in tbe Interior during moat sea
sons, according to tlie report, and when
the summer Is wet or frosts come too
soon the crops can he made into hay
j. or silage. Tests are being made of
promising varieties of spring wheat,
and some work is being done with
winter wheat, although there Js Uttlfc
reason to believe that this type can
equal spring wheat, parley Is the most
promising^ stork grata tff It matures
much earlier than either spring wheat
*" 5T~ OlTfsj tlie .l*"ReF^eing used al m o?t
entirely for hay. Hybridization ex
periments are being made on all these
grains in an effort to develop higher
yielding and uardier Varieties.
11 is predicted ttiat legumes are
destined to play an important role in
Alaskan agriculture as they Are useful
for hay and pasture and for soil Im
provement. Most of the alfalfas lack
sufficient hardiness for this climate,
even some of the Siberian varieties
and Grimm,- but a yellow-flowered
kind, Medlcago falcata, sent from the
department experimental fields In 1909,
has survived tbe hard winters. Next
itn Importance i? a perennial vetch. The
common clovers have been tried and
found wanting, but re<i, clover Is of
value as an annual crop sown early
In May and cat for hsy or plowed
under late in August. Early-maturing
Held .peas promise to be an important
crop In the interior. Sweet clover has
failed.
. Silo 8olves Winter Feeding.
Winter feed is a big problem for
Alaska farmers, but the illo Is help
ing theiw solve it. Oata with peas or
vetch makes good silage, as do also
some of the native grasiws, especially
wild rye and a tall sedge. Among the
tame grasses smooth brome grass Is
the best.
The garden helps greatly in making
life enjoyable, for many of ih?_Com-_
mon vegetables are now grown suc
cessfully In all parts of the territorv
south of "the circle." "Alaska pro
duces as fine potatoes as can be found
In .any country," says4 the report, and
they are successfully grown in all
parts of the territory, even far north
of the Arctic circle, in favorable sea
sons.
Improved hardy varieties hare been
developed and are being grown. Hardy
hybrid strjtwberies of good quality pro
duced by the experiment stations are
now widely grown in some sections as
a commercial crop. Currants, goose
berries, and raspberries are other
fruits which may be successfully
grown. Alaska has scarcely sny na
tive ornamental shrubs and efforts are
beina made to tod suitable ones; of
sufflcUht hardiness. The best one
tried so far la Rosa rugosa, the Japa
nese rose, which seems to be hardy In

Jeff Chandler,; Greenville Man, flat!
Slain Two Worn. it.
(From Saturday's State.)
lli* last word a pleaVfaf the aboli
tion of capital punishment, T. Jet*
Chandler of Greenville, slayer of hi*
wife and mother-in-law, yesterday
paid the penalty for his crime with
hladeath by electrocution. "Chandler,
37 years old, was pronounced dead at
11:18 o'clock. Brought into the'elec
trocution room from his coll fit \11.0S
o'clock Chandler walked unaided tj
the chair and seated himself to watch
without word or sign? save a drawn
factf and twitching lips ? the peniten
tiary officials as they , mechanically
went about their task of adjusting the
chair straps. He glanced about the
room and its 33 witnesses, but no
light of recognition lit up his face*
"JefT," Capt. B. & Evans of the
penitentiary guard, asked him,^ is
there anything you wish to say?"
"1 don't know, Captain," he began
and hesitated. "I woul^ like to say
one thing. I would like to say that
capital punishment ought to be done
uway with. ? I know it's not right." I
lh? spoke rapidly and SO indistinctly
hut his words hardly carried even to
.he group of official witnesses,* seated
just a few feet in front of him. Theso
ho did not appear to notice and his
ayes were fixed only at the wall be
hind them.
??It's not hero sitting in tho chair
hat you mind it," he continued. "It's
n tho. cell beforehand. It's the worst
thing in the world.
"If the people had -the fear of the
Lord -in their hearts they would abpl
sh capital punishment."
Of his crime, which he has nevfcr
denied, he had nothing to say.
? qphe -prisoner closed, his e^o* and
leaned back in the chair and the two
electfodes wfere adjusted. At 11:12
o'clock the current of 1900 volts and I
13 amperes was turned on for 60 ???<?
onds and then off again. The limp
body fell back in the chair and five
minutes and 53 seconds after the cur
rent had been applied the prison phy
sician pronounced him dead. The
witnesses filed out of the death houso
and the body was removed from the
chair.
At Chandler's , request, made to
Captain Evans Thursday, that he be
allowed a companion for his last
night of life, S. W. Nicholson of Co
lumbia, former prison guard, was se
cured for the death watch. "The
hours are l^ng," Chandler said, and
J have no one to talk to/' So Mr.
Nicholson sat with him through the
darkness.
Early yesterday morning his broth
er and brother-in-law went to tell
him goodbye, hear from him his last
mossage to loved ones and friends and
then left him.
The body yesterday afternoon was
removed from the prison and carried
(o Greenville county, his old, home,
xxrhnrft it will be interred.
Chandler, indicted on charges of the
murder of his wife and her mother,
Mrs. Rosie K. Bramlett of Greenville,
was tried and convicted March, 1922,
of the slaying of his mother-in-law.
In 1912 he had married Theodeus
Bt-amlett and for a while, Chandler
admitted, their married life had been
placid and peaceful. Two children
were born, one a boy now nine years
old and the other a girl now six years
o)d. A separation came, however, and
Mrs. Chandler with her mother, Mrs.
Bramlett, rented an apartment in
Greenville; here they lived with the
two children.
Armed with a pistol,; which he said
was not- seeured^for the purpose for
Which it was used, Chandler entered
the house on the night of February 26,
1922. Mrs. Chandler was seated in a
chair sewing and Chandler opened fire
upon her' irilh the revolver, two shots
from which totfk effect. There had
been some little talk between the two
concerning "a man at the picture

Pesji e tho insanity pica, matin by
O.uVtat n hi behalf, Chtiullcr was
found guilty and sentenced to die. The
death uUnce, however, was stayed
by an ,-pp?al to the supreme eourt,
which >n due turn was heard by the
court and October 8 was rejected. This
rejection of the appeal automatically
thou served to set the electrocution
date at December 7, but three days
before. the day so assigned friends and
attorneys for the condemned man ap
pealed to Gov. Thomas G. McLeod for
the oxercise of oxecutiye clemency to
save Chandler'^ life. Three reprieves
wore allowed by the governor as his
inquiry into the case continued and it
was not until last Monday that he an
nounced his decision not to interfere
in the sentence of the court.
"I have carefully considered every
fact," Mr. McLeod said, "and have
been forced to tho conclusion that at
the time of the commission of this act
(?handler was not insane. His life
was unhappy and unfortunate. He
sinned and ho was probably sinned
against. ... 1 am obliged to follow
tho line of my duty and allow tho pen
alty imposed by the law to be carricd

county officers. Tho warrants are
sworn out for J. L. Ramsey, said to bo
a representative of the United Auto
association, and Cecil Simmons, a
North Carolina man, said to bo Ram
sey's "right hand man."
These men and their agents, it is
alleged, sold fraudulent memberships
in a fako automobile association. Ac-'
cording t<J W. H. Evans, of Greens
boro, assistant manager of the Caroli
na Motor club, the motor elub has
been attempting to locate Ramsey for
three months*, but has been unable to
t!o so. It is said that he and his as
sociates have been operating in North
( a i olina, South Carolina and Virginia
for about six months, selling member
ships and conl racts in an association
alleged to be fraudulent.
Mr, Ev?ns asserts that more than
269 persons in Charlotte were de
frauded by Ramsey and his hids.
These included motorists who paid a
membership, fee of $3.06 to enter the
United Auto Association, a?id doctors
lawyers* hotel, restaurants, etc., who
paid $'16 for contracts with tho asso
ciation whereby they were, to benefit
fi'om the patronage of the mombers
of the* United Auto association, Mr.
Evans slated. None of those who
bought membership and contractu
have since heard from the association,
it is stated. "
Information from Washington is to
the effect that creditors have petition
ed -the supreme court^f^hglflBtrlet
of Columbia to declare the United
Auto association bankrupt. The peti
tion states that .1. L. Ramsey and
A. V. Pankey, principal owners of
stock in tho association# are both in
solvent, Pankey is being held in
Washington, it is 'understood, pending
fl.e outcome of bankruptcy proceed
ngs. Ramsey has not been located by
the authorities.
Ramsey, employing1 a corps of 16
or 20 'workers, solicited memberships .
in Charlotte for about six months, it
is said, )flrst coming here in August
and again shortly after Christmas.
No warrants were sworn out against .
the 15 or 20 solicitors employed by
him. Mr. Evans said, because they^
were local men and were ignorant of
the fact that they were working for
\i fraudulent organisation*
Against Ramsey and Cecil Sim
mons, the latter a Hickory man, are
alleged bad checks and unpaid bills
at a local hotel amounting to $140, it
is claimed, $100 in worthless checks
and the remaining $40 in unpaid hotel
bills.
Several Camden automobile owners
paid over some good coin for mem
bership in the above association and
are now sadder, but wiser.
