N. R. GOODALK, JE.| J. W. WILSON, Worshipful Master. Secretary. l-M-27-tf California Attorney To Press Clemency A ppeal Columbia, Oct. Uih~?-Van Ix*e Hoodies Angeles attorney, returned today from a visit to Marlboro county where he said he obtained "strong support" in a movement for clemency for C. 1>. Cooper. 01 Hood said more, than 100 prominent citizens of the county where Cooper in 10-1 was convicted for slay ihg a taxi driver and sentenced to life in prison signed a petition asking Governor Blackwood to fine him. A majority of the jurors who found Cooper guilty und many officials of. the county joined the appeal, he said. The attorney came here to press the clemency appeal after Cooper, who had escaped from prison had been re-arrested in Los Angeles and returned to the South .Carolina pjc-nitentiary. Cooper, assuming the name of lien. M. Jones upon his escape eight years ago, had "made good" in California as a(! moving picture projectionist. Friends and business associates there engaged Hood to represent him. Clinton T. Graydon, Columbia attorney associated with Hood in the appeal, said a. conference would be held tomorrow on a da *il?r a clemency hearing the governor has announced he would grant. In the meantime, Governor Blackwood said a large, number of persons had urged him to set Cooper free. Hood conferred tonight with George Cooper, of Columbia, brother of C.? L).

Broad and Dekalb L M ??????? I III ' 1 Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) [ Washington, 0. C? Oct. 31.- -Opln ion expressed here among those familiar with the situation regarding ' politics in South Carolina is to the affect that Cole L. Itleaso and Olin Johnson will be the two leading candidates for governor next year. If experience should prove to be any advantage Hlea*f* "whould benefit therefrom, us he has been running for office ever since he became old enough 1 some times successful, but more I frequently meeting defeat. Judging by very numerous articles i in the press, it would seem that au- j tomobilists in the state are generally j all "het up" over the order of the Highway Commission that new license tags must be procured N'ovem' ber first. The state collects as high a gasoline tax as any in the union, and the owners of machines no doubt feel.that they are imposed upon, and in an unwarranted and 'indirect manner. , 9 * t * Thfre is published in Washington a weekly paper called "The Pathfinder," with many interesting and valuable features, and claiming a circulation of more than a million, no doubt correctly. Under the head of "Geographic Tabloid" it has. bi'.cn running a- sketch of the different states, and the following, relating to South Carolina, is deemed to be. of sufficient merit to reproduce here: Nk'kname-?"Palmetto."

In the Year* to Come Will T?lk of Revolution of 1933 The year 1933 will go down in history. Just as our grandfathers talked of the Revolutionary period and our fathers of the Civil war era, ao our children will refer back to 1933. The greatest social changes in the history of our nation are now taking place. Europe sits spell-bound at America's daring. We ourselves are almost too dazed tp realize the transition. We are changing from an individualistic society to one of cooperation. There will be anxious moments in this changing process, but those who have adopted the philosophy of John Dewey in regarding each experience, whether happy/ on sad,/ha something to enrich one'Aylife, win benefit most from this experiments There will be anxious moments in this world for this experiment not to succeed. We may falter on the way, but the American people have never known the meaning of the word fail. Frankly, we would rathe,r live in 1933 than in any period in the histop'y of America. For the first time we have a patriotic call without girding ourselves to kill. That in itself would mark out the year 1933 as an historic twelfth month.?Littleton (Colo.)
