' NUMBER 34 TWO MEN REPHIKVKh Kin); and Hkrrell Will Nut Die at Penitentiary Today. Columbia, Nov. 15^?Mortimer N. King and Frank Harrell, under sen tence to die at the state penitentiary here next Friday for the murder of Major Samuel H, McLearv, today were reprieved by Governor* Thomas (i. McLeod until Friday, December 6. The Governor issued a statement in which he asserted that the reprieve was granted by him in order to allow additional time for investigation /and consideration of the. case. "It has been impossible," the Gov ernor said, "for attorneys who are earnestly representing these unfortu nate men to present the case to me until yesterday, and I have just re ceived a transcript of the testimony in the case, "1 feel that I must and I will give to this case every consideration; and in order to do so, in order to investi gate the various angles presented, more time will be needed. Engage ments at the governor's conference, made some time ago, will take me away from my office for the greater part of next week. The reprieve, dated as of the day set for the exe cution of the sentence, allows two weeks, exclusive of next week, for in vestigation and consideration of the vase. , . ? "The allowing of the reprieve does not presage the granting of clemency as asked, but the enforcement of law #and the lives of two men are at stake, and as in all other cases I must make the fullest and most com plete investigation of all facts avail able to mfe.'' Major MoLea^ was slain on the K a leigh-Cdlumbia highway on the afternoon of July 2 about 12 miles i South of Chetaw, after he had given i King.and Harrell a "lift" in his auto mobile. About a week later the War Department instituted a search for him w.hich extended over the South eastern. States, resulting in the arrest of , King1 at his home near Canton, N. C.\ and later of Harrell with- his brother near Nashville, Tenn., where he had fled. Leading a party of army officers. >tate officers and a'newspaperman to 'the spot where the murder occurred, King identified a heap of bones as those of Major McLeary. It was brought out at the trial in Chester field, in which county the murder was committed, that Harrell had signalled when the arjny officer's car. had reached a lonely spot, at which King drew bis pistol, and ordered Major McLeary to halt the vehicle. Both King arid Hajrell, it was testified, drove the ma^OT ahead of them into the woods, Harrell returning to shut off the engine and to watcb for passersby. After robbing the ^htajor, according to the evidence, King*.shot .and killed him. Both . were convicted of murder without recommendation to mercy and were* sentenced by Judge C. C. FeatherstQne to death *by .electrocu t.ion at the State penitentiary here on November 21. For/several weeks the Governor has been receiving communications from citizens writing pro and con in regard to commutation of Harrell'* sentence. EU;Iday a petition signed by ? 500 citizens of Chesterfield county and eleven members of the trial jury was presented by defense attorneys, asking commutation of both sen tences to life imprisonment. The death hduse in the state peni tentiary late today was the scene of a little drama when the reprieve was transmitted to penitentiary authori ties by State Detective Hart. B. K. Kvans, captain of the guard, entered the death house*and announced: "Kirrg and Harrell, the Governor has reprieved you until December .r>." "Gee, that's good," exclaimed Har rell, "I'm sure glad of it. The only other occupant of the chamber of the condemned, Edmund D. Bigham, convicted of slaying- five members of his family, listened with interest to the announcement, it is; ^aid. King and Harrell were visibly, cheered by the temporary respite.

A plan which its sponsors hope will have far reaching consequences of u ^van,taff? *h making Camden stin better known among the riifht sort of people, was launched 6ti Mon day evening at a conference called by Mr. B. G. Sanders, chairman of the ways and means committee of the Camden Chamber of Commerce. Those in attendance at this first pre liminary meeting were Messrs. H. G, Carrison, Jr., mayor of the^ity, C. C, Whitaker, J. If. Burns, J. M. Ville pigue, C, P. DuBose, R. M. Kennedy, If" J- B- Zemp, W. F. Nettles and Dr. R. E. Stevenson. For some time the idea has been growing that the great natural ad vantages of Camden ati a place to work, to live, and to sojourn for a part of the winter, should be made better known to the people of the rest of the country. This meeting was called to see how this could W most effectively done. A great deal of profitable work is being done along similar lines by <Uher cities and states. Georgia, rlorida, and California are finding it to the advantage from everv view point to make their attractions known to prospective citizens or visitors. Individual cities are having the same experience, an example of which is GreenS^oro, N. C., which has been for some time conducting publicity of its attractions, and where the bank rer ?sources have increased in the last six 000 oo</IX?rtl 'ab?Ut ?7,000'000 t(> $22?" The consensus of opinion of this week s meeting was that something similar should be done for Camden, jit would ba difficult, perhaps, to find a place* of comparable size offering more natural advantages, both to the [ business man and to the tourist. Its | excellent pavements, 'artistic street lighting, nearness to raw materials, | avaliable power for mnnnfncturing j.and other advantages, appeal to a man wishing to locate in a prosperous and growing community, while its restful yet invigorating climate, near ness to large centers of population, golf courses, and delightful social life make it an ideal place for winter residence. Those present at the meeting Pledged their hearty support to this purpose and several tourist friends nave offered to contribute $100 00 each and larger amounts. It is hoped j that the hotels, one of -which does several thousand dollars worth of j?d iveitising annually, will combine tneir 1 appropriations with this - common fund, and that the railroads, the banks, the business men of Camden generally, and some of the property owners of the city will add enough to it to make an advertising fund of fair size for the first year. The be-. ? -i8 ,1 ^ to *his is added public, ?spirited effor^ by Camden's news papers arid Business men, and the co operatioh of an advertising'agency of Standing, which has been offered, that the results will .be sufficiently satis factory in dollars and cents to insure its continuance on a larger scale for succeeding years. A meeting of the directors of the chamber of commerce has been called for Tuesday evening, Nov. 25th, for further discussion of this matter. Itns planned to advertise Camden in such a way as to reach the sort of people Camden desires for citizens and visitors, and not to. popular Camden in such a way that its dis tinctive atmosphere?one of its great est assets?will be , in any way .changed, but to take advantage of present conditions that seem to indi cate that the time is right to foster line.'f10 al?ng the right It is thought too that this move-1 ment may develop into a state-wide effort o advertise South Carolina as a whole, but this is a matter for later consideration, and the present effort is to be directed to the benefit ol the prosperous and delightful town of Camden. ~ ! Her Mother Dead. M rs. J. R. Goodale was called to Philadelphia about two weeks ago to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. R. J. Lindsay.
