tribute to kirk trotter I
Perhaps It la best expressed when
we 8ay Kirk Trotter represented the
Old South. His heritage was a love
of the outdoors, the spur of the chase,
the pursuit of game for pleasure and
sport.
Gentle In manner, lovable In nature,
quiet and dignified?the leisure of the
Southern gentleman.
His interest and work In the game
ami fish association came naturally
to him aB he realized the need for
conservative and constructive measures
if the generation following him
was to be handed the heritage of
sport aflejd he had received.
He served this association in many
offices. He was chapter president
I of his own Camden group; was vice
i president of the state organization and
district head for three terms and this
year was serving as state president.
His leadership is reflected in the successes
of the association today.
In Kirk' Trotter's posing June 1,
this association has lost a fair and
courageous leader;' the game and flsh
of this state have lost a true admirer;
and all of us have lost a beloved
friend.
Thomas Klrkland Trotter, state
president, southern sportsman, has
moved to celestial fields.

Washington, D. C., June 10.?The
Supreme Court of the United States,
on January 6, 1936, declared the
Agricultural Adjustment Act unconstitutional
by a 6 to 3 decision insofar
as it provided for production control
and a processing tax. This caused
consternation in the ranks of the farmers'
friends, and they cannot understand
until this good day why it is
that the law was held unconstitutional
when the Constitution plainly
states that Congress shall have the
power to levy such a tax to promote
the general welfare of the people.
| Therefore, such decision was tantamount
to holding'that it is not in the
nation's interest for the farmers, who
represent almost one-third of our popit
lat+otij to be prosperous* Many believe'the
Supreme Court was clearly
wrong. Recent decisions of the Court
are more liberal thari^in the past, and
if the Court continues to be liberal it
Is very likely that Congress will be
aide in near future to pass a law that
will be held constitutional,, that will
place the farmers on equality with industry
and permit them to earn a
livelihood for the support and future
security of themselves and families.
Information leaked, out today that
the milking prowess of Pacific coast
and middle western congressmen will
he tested at .high noon, soon, when
two teams will contest to establish
their preeminence in capitol circles
and for the benefit of the world at
large.
Representative Harold ~Knutlo*i of
St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Representative
Gerald J. Bolleau of Wausau,
Wisconsin, will represent the milking
fraternity of the middle west.
Representative Walter M. Pierce of
' 1-aGrande, Oregon; former Governor
of that state and Representative
Harry R. Sheppard of Ucaipa, California,
will seek to carry the laurels to
the Pacific coast
The four representatives come from
districts where the dairy cow Is tho
chief topic of converaattoh and each!
claims to be a past master in the art(
of extracting the lacteal fluid from
"old bossy." I
| The^secret was carefully guarded
and it was evidently the intention of
these gentlemen to hold their contest
in private qn a good Maryland farm
; until somebody talked. Whereupon,
the National Co-operative Milk Producers'
Federation and the National
| Broadcasting Company offered their
good services to handle the event in a
most sporting gtyle.
Accordingly, tnese gentlemen have
agreed to stage the milking battle
probably on the capital grounds on
the opening day of the National Dairy
Month.
There are at least a tnousand men,
including the writer, from the Fifth
South Carolina Distrietr?who could i
beat these gentlemen milking a cow.
The main object now is to be able
to get and keep a cow. Anybody can
learn to milk a cow.
Congress has decided the Government's
worn-out horses and mules
should have either quiet deaths or
lives of ease. The Senate passed and
sent to the White House a bill requiring,
that animals 110 longer fit for service
"be destroyed or put to pasture."
Formerly these poor worn-out animals
were sold to highest bidder.
The Senate passed the rivers and
harbors bill Wednesday after claifylngi/
the War Department's power to
determine policies on waterway development.
One amendment by Senator
Norri8 (Independent! Nebraska,
eliminated language which, he contended,
gave army engineers undue
authority to decide national policy on
power development and other water
use. The measure, which would authorize
projects to cost $37,000,000
now comes back to the House for concurrence
in the amendments. It
makes no appropriation, but merely
authorizes the projects as funds become
available.
Adjournment is still delayed by the
tie up in free conference committees.
It was planned to adjourn on Saturday.
June 11. Now the tentative date
is fixed for next week.
President Roosevelt has thrown the
weight of his authority on the alH? of
the Farmer-Labor party In Mtnneaota

in a tangled "politics in relief"
snarl in that state.

"South Carolina stands today tenth
in the nation aa to financial soundness,"
the governor declared.
"Your five-mill levy was wiped Out
of your governor'? yeto," he aald in
speaking of hla own record, adding,
sixteen labor bills have been paaaed
durlug my administration, more than
during any other administration.
Johnston cnarged that "the failttre
of cooperation with the greatest president
the couutry has ever known is
costing you South Carolina farmers
millions of dollars.
"What I'm interested in," he si*ld,
'is in seeing thgt South Carolina gets
proper recognition."
Smith, rounding out thirty years of
service, at the outset of his speech
termed criticisms made agaiuat him
"false bosh."
I "if I'd written the farm bill, we
would have had prosperity down here.
I'm not going to get on the defdhslve.
1 want to give you some facts.
I "I have cooperated wheuever I
thought it was right, and have opposed
when I thought it was wrong," he
declared. "I want to Btate here and
now we are facing the worst situation
since the horrid days of reconstruction?oh,
yes, I'm going to tell you
about Philadelphia."
He referred 'to his having walked
out of the last Democratic national
convention when negroeB appeared on
the program.
' "They (Brown and Johnston) said
1 was going to harp 011 that, and they
were right. They would have walked
out of the convention too. if they had
the presence of mind and gutB to do
It," he continued.
The south, he assorted, will "never
stand for social equality with
negroes." He said the Philadelphia
convention "looked like a checkerboard,"
because of the number of negroes
present.
"If (the negro's prayer) was not
done for the Divine blessing but to
ask the primary blessing." he asserted.
"Yes, 1 walked out. and I don't
apologize for it."
Saying white and negro women
I marched up the convention aisles together,
Smith snorted, "hell, it was
too much for me."
| He described the anti-lynchlng bill
, as "an Insult to every man, woman
land child in the south."
booking at Johnston, he shouted:
"Now, if you are a hundred precenter,'are
you for the anti-lynchlng bill?
If you are not, you are not a hundred
percenter any more than I am.
"You boys will have to ride your
horses. You can't ride yours and
mine.
"I have served this state thirty
years and the crime that has been
brought against me is that I didn't
grab myself a piece of coat tall and
swing on It with both eyes and ears
shut.
I "it's an Insult to South Carolina
to come here and say I'm a renegade,
a do-nothing. By God, If I had sat
down and done nothing I would have
been in their class."
WARDEN OF ALCATRAZ SAYS
.CRIMINALITY NEAR IN8ANITY
San Francisco, June 10.?James A.
Johnston, warden of Alcatraz, the federal
Island penitentiary here which
houses A1 Capone, Machine Gun Kelly
and other desperate men, today
pictured criminality as It looks to him
jand said it Is "overlapped by insanity."
The warden, who seldom talks,
| presented a 6.000 word paper to the
American Psychiatric association. He
gave 10 case histories of prisoners,
but no names.
He drew^a word picture of what the
warden looks at as he sits waiting for
a criminal who has cracked to enter
his office for medical examination.
"As hospital attendants or guards
bring the patient to the door," he
Isaid, "sometimes it makes a rather
pathetic procession.
"Some are quiet and dean, others j
are untidy; unclean and violent. Some
of them cut capers and if it happens
to provoke a laugh, they langh at
themselves as if they were happy in
their tragic foolishness. Those with
delusions of persecution are often
difficult to handle." ...
The prison gets the drainings of
society. These men Warden Johnston
said ^pdude "latent, unrecognized insane,
borderline cases and numerous
^aViants, deviates, defectives, abnormal,
subnormals, neurotics, - epileptic
anil paychonalhs." ?
"Then, too," he went on, "there are
special types who germinate and flourish
in cells and prison surroundings,
In this class are some lifers and longtermers
who <;rack from time to
time." ' ~ . t\ "
The warden said a tferdentage ol

McCall Confesses
To Kidnaping Child
Miami, Fla., June 10.?The text of
Franklin Pierce McCall'* eight-page
confession iu the Cash kiduapplng
was nut available for publication but
J. Edgar Hoover in an interview summarized
it as follows:
"We have a full and complete confession
from F. 1*. McCall admitting
the kiduapplng of the child, the death
of the child and the placiug of the
body as well as his previous statements
that ho wrote the rausom
notes, collected the ransom, hid the
money and disposed of tho shoebox
in which it was paid.
"He claimed ho wuntod the better
things of life for hie wife aud himself
and bad been unable to get steady
employment. About two weeks before
the kidnapping he conceived the Idea
to klduap some persons In or about
Prlncetou. The reason he chose someone
there was because he had no
automobile aud so had to handle It
within a narrow area.
| "lie considered three persons to
kidnap:
"First was the son of Charles
Chambers, whom he ellmluated because
the child was always with Us
mother and could never be scon
alone.
"Second was the son of Charles E.
Elchenberger, who was finally eliminated
because he was nearly McCall's
age and was away at school.
I "Third was J. II. Cash, Jr.
I "He prepared the ransom note a
week before the kidnapping on May
28. and about 9:30 that night McCall
entered the Cash store, asked Mrs.
Cash the time, saw that both Mr. and
Mrs. Cash were there.
"Ho came out of the store and went
to the back of the Cash residence and
with a knife we have recovered he
cut the wire and put his hand
through the unlocked door. He went
to the bedroom and placed two handkerchiefs
over the Cash baby's face,
one ovor his eyes* and one over his
mouth.
"He lifted the child and walked out
of the door through which he had entered
and carried the child to his
home, about a half mile away, taking
about fifteen minutes to walk it.
| "McCall said the child did not move
at any time he held it and he thought
it was asleep. He entered his home
through a rear door and Bnid he tried
to awaken tho child but found It to he
dead."He
picked it up and ran and then
walked through the woodB to the
rear of his home to the glade which
ho knew and where there was thick
underbrush. He had been hunting in
that section. He threw the body Into
the thicket of scrub palmetto palms
and ran back home, about a half mile
away.
"McCall went inside and got the
first ransome note and went to the
home of a negro? John Emanuel. He
disguised his voice and called to
Emanuel to take the note he was
slipping under his door to J. B. Cash,
turned home and wrote the second
note on a piece of wrapping paper removed
from a piece of meat in the ice
box. This he placed On the door of
R. A. Cash's home. R. A. Cash is the
uncle of the kidnapped hoy.
"Back home, McCall read a magazine
until a searching party arrived
to search John Emanuel's home. He
joined them and rode to Princeton.
There the note on the uncle's door directed
them back to the negro's house
and McCall rode back with the party.
"That time the ransom. note was
found. All went back _ to Princeton
where J. B. Cash read the note. McCall
and others rode around until 3
a. m. Sunday searching.
** "Sunday and Monday he also rode
with the searchers. Monday he composed
the third note and slipped it
under the filling station door of W. B.1
Cash, another uncle. McCall waited to
see if the filling station, closed for
the night, would be reopened, then
asked for gasolines and himself discovered
the note he had written,
U out to an attendant.
"This note told Cash to try again.
^McCall then took up his position
at the spot where the ransom was
paid and waited for Cash to drive by.
When he saw the father's car approach
he fiaahed two flashes at him
with a hand flashlight, the prearranged
signal. Mr. Cash got out of his car,
put the money beside the road and
returned home over the route outlined
in the note.
"With the ransom, as directed,
Cash delivered the three ransom
! notes - - ^ :
"McCall went over, picked up the
money and went to an orange grove
and extracted $250. He then went tc
- a spot in front of John Chamber's
' home and threw the money over a
wall. He walked Into the woods and
| fore up the shoebox, which was hid
' de*^ under a rock. Then he went to s
. third place and burned the three ran
- som notes. '
I "We have photostatic copies of th?
three notes to be used as evidence. !
- cannot make their contents public.'
r ^The |250? HcCall took Co the hom<
of Hat Mclaughlin and stnfTed it lnt<
i " *' vfv Vjcpr:
yj- :--yt?- Off
?n oil drum. Mclaughlin had no connection
with the cubo and was not
aware of this act. McCall expected to
pet the money again easily without
arousing suspicion.
"The kidnapper then took part in
all the searches for the missing child.
"He said he did not plan to kill the
chili h?t to tie it in an old
house where there are some very
thick Australian pines?this spot is
about five miles from Princeton.
"McCall made an extremely unjust
and untruthful statement Involving
It. A. Cash. He said R. A. Cash was
his accomplice, conceived the kidnap
idea, carried out the actual kidnapping
and disposed of the body. We
questioned Mr. Cash and completely
exonerated him.
"MoCall's later and complote confession
which was finished this morning
after an all-night interrogation,
also eliminated Mr. Cash from any
part in the crime.
"We will now turn over all of our
evidence to Qoorge A. Worley, state
attorney. Our agents are available as
witnesses. Our facilities are available
during the trial.
"The case 1b completely solved, Is
definitely ended so far as investigations
are concerned and wo have a
full and complete confession from the
Bole participant In the crime."
Miami, June 10.?J. Edgar Hoover,
director of the federal bureau Of investigation,
announced that Franklin
Pierce McCall signed today a detailed
confession that he kidnapped and killed
James Bailey Cash,. Jr.
Hoover named the twenty-one-yearold
truck driver as the single-handed
kidnapper and killer, said the police
Investigation was closed and turned
the case over to state prosecutors today,

child.
