THREE MEN GO
| TO CHAIR FRIDAY
C. O. Fox, Jesse Gappins and S. J.
Kirby, convicted of the murder of Williaih
Brazell, have only two more full
days of life, unless something unexpected
occurs to prevent their electrocution
Friday as fixed by Judge
DeVore. The men spent a quiet day
yesterday, penitentiary officials said,
only Kirby offering any sign of restlessness
and this in the form of a
song. Kirby sings a good deal, the
officials say.
Several hunderd or perhaps over i
1,000 applications for permits to witness
the electrocutions have already
been received by Col. A. K. Sanders, i
superintendent of the penitentiary. 1
f Only about 40 persons can be accommodated
in the death house and this i
i f i number will be taken up largely by i
? officers and others who get the first i
call as witnesses. Further aDDlica
' tions will be useless as the peniten- 1
J^tiary authorities can allow only so
j^Kkiany to witness the electrocutions.
- ^ ^'Out of the several hundred applica- '
tions already received we will select !
the witnesses," Colonel Sanders said
yesterday. Many of the applications <
ore from points outside of Columbia, i
No hour has been set for the elec- i
trocutions, but the usual hour is about
11:80 o'clock in the morning. This
time may be fixed for the three men. 1
Jt ia not known which of the three i
men will be electrocuted first, this to <
be decided between now and Friday <
. morning. 1
The first man of the three to die i
will be the first white man to pay the 1
death penalty in the electric chair i
since July 14, 1913, when M. L. Gar- 1
rett was put to death. Only three 1
white men have been electrocuted '
since the establishment of the electric
chair in 1912 as compared with 55
H^naifroes.
?.t the present time the whites under
dtath sentences, however, outnumber
the negroes, the entire death :
IkS ]
Wallace is in Sumter under the same ;
penalty, while Cliff Hawkins, techni- ,
cally not under the death penalty by ]
reason of a new trial granted by Judge ,
Mauldin, is still another white man ,
that has been under the penalty for ,
nearly two years. El Culbreath, Wil- (
iam Thompson and Otto Sullivan are ,
three negroes in the penitentiary ,
awaiting the death sentence to be inflicted
and Ernest Vance, another ne- '
gro, is in Greenville awaiting June
23, when he will be put to death.?

FAVORS TARIFF
BEFORE BONUS
Washington, June 13. ? Senate Republican
leaders who are opposed to
the plan of Chairman McCumber of
the finance committee to sidetrack
the tariff bill for the soldiers' bonus
have the support of President Harding.
The executive, it was stated officially
today at the White House, regards
tariff legislation as most important
and worthy of tho undivided
attention of the senate.
Plans for consideration of the bonus
still are very indefinite, but they may
take shape after the return here tomorrow
of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Republican leader, who has
been campaigning in his home state
Senator McCumber has given notice
that he will call up the bill in the
near future but he has not yet fixed
upon a definite date.
A substitute proposal for the bonus
bill was offered today by Senator McCumber's
colleague, Senator Ladd,
(Republican) cf North Dakota) providing
for a cash bonus to be paid by
Issue of $2,500,000,000 or less of legal
tender treasury notes to be retired
over a periocfof 25 years out of proceeds
from special taxes on 'banks
and interest received from the foreign
indebtedness.
Senator Ladd's plan contemplates a
tax on all banking institutions having
a capital stock of $100,000 or more,
equl to 50 per cent of the profits in
excess of 12 per cent and all other
taxes. Should these taxes and the
interest on the foreign debt be insufficient
to pay the annual refunding installments
on the legal tender issued
to the veterans the deficiency would
be made up out of the federal treasury.

REUNION PLANS
ARE COMPLETE

Kirkland, state commander of the
United Sons of Confederate Veterans,
announces today his official staff and
the official ladies to attend the Confederate
reunion to be held in Richmond
from June 19 to 22.

of Millettville, adjutant, R. E. Causey,
of Hampton, quartermaster; G. Duncan
Bellinger of Columbia, inspector;
C. I. Copeland, Clinton, commissary,
and Robert H. Harloy of Allendale,

Dora Dee Walker, Appleton; Miss
Ethel Williams of Allendale, sponsor.
Maids of honor, Miss Harriet Patterson
of Barnwell, Miss Virgie Miller of
Varnville and Miss Edna Earle of
P.ennettsville.
The official party will begin its
journey to the reunion at Fairfax next
Monday afternoon and will be joined
on the way by a large number of delegates
from other sections of the state.
Commander Kirkland is anxious
mat all delegates from camps of Sons
of Veterans or from memorial associations
get in touch with him in order
that he might furnish them with the
necessary certificate to obtain the reduced
fares allowed delegates to the
reunion. This certificate entitles the
bearer to one way fare. Quite a large
number of delegates will attend this
year it is believed, judging from the
number of inquiries that have come to
the office of the state commander.

HARDING URGES
PROMPT ACTION
Washington, June 13.?Warning bj
President Harding that he would foel
obligated to call congress in special
session if it failed to take up the ship
subsidy bill prior to adjournment \va>
supplemented today by a White House
announcement that the administration
was determined to press for action
now.
The president's views on the question
of an extraordinary session were set
forth in a letter written May 20 tc
Chairman Campbell of the house rule?
committee, expressing the hope that
the committee in charge of legislative
machinery, would open the way for
speedy consideration of the measure.
Copies were obtained meanwhile hv
the merchant marine committee framing
the bill?which was ready tonight
to inti'oduce it tomorrow?and Republican
committeemen declared the notice
served by the president would
rally many Republicans to its sup
port.
It was disclosed at the White House
that the president could suffer no
greater disappointment than thai
which would come through failure to
put the shipping bill to a vote. House
leaders who have talked with him or
the subject have stated that he haii
been most insistent that the measure
be taken up, if necessary, as a
straight party issue, believing its en
actment of the> trrpjii^ef vnlim />
business welfare of the country.
While the merchant marine commit
Lee was working rapidly to have th<
bill in shape for the house tomorrow
Representative Davis of Tennessee
launched the first minority attack or
it, declaring it "vicious" in its pro
visions, and that it gave more powc
to the shipping board than "good men
ought to want or bhd men ought to
have."
Something About the Recent
Trial and Rise in Cotton
New York, June 10, 1922.
While the writer was not indicted as
a director, nor was our firm in any
way involved in the recent mixup?o>
rather in the malicious charges
brought against the American Cotton
BscbgiH*, wq were jnst; yy b
cerned as anyone else. The men who
did us the greatest damage were those
who themselves admitted under oatli
that thy were crooks and liars, while
dozens of men of the highest character
swore in defense of the American Cotton
Exchange. But listen to our president,
Judge A. W. Graham.
Statement by Judge A. W. Graham,
President.
"The action of the people against
the American Cotton Exchange, Inc.
upon an indictment that some of the
members with the knowledge ot tin
Exchange had violated the statutes of
New York, relating to the purchase ol
cotton, not intending to deliver the
same vhich has been on trial in tie
Supreme Court before Justice Marcus
and a jury since May 18th, was con
eluded on Wednesday, June 7th, 1922
It was shown that a clique on tin
New York Cotton Exchange had d?
clnred their intention to crush tinAmerican
and to establish a new odd
lot exchange to work in connectio
with the New York Cotton Exchange
and upon which trading would be con
fined to units of less than 100 hale;
While the judgment in this action 1
disappointing to the directors and oth
er officers of the American Cotton E>
change, they are not at all dis our
j aged. They have instructed tlu ii
counsel, Messrs. Seabury Mass y &
Lowe and O'Gorman, Battle. Vandivc!
& Levy to take an appeal to the \n
pellate Division of the Supreme Court
feeling sanguine, after conference
with their counsel, that the verdict
and judgment would be reversed, li
the meantime, the American C"tt.><
Exchange, still conscious that it ha
violated no law, will continue to trans
act business in accordance with the
laws of the state of New York."
Since the jury's verdict our owr
firm has enjoyed two of the biggest
days in point of patronage this year
We have never failed to pay prompt
ly, our services have been exceptiona
and we shall continue operating a;
usual, with assurance of honorahh
dealing to everyone.
The Cotton Market.
Beginning when cotton was nroum
16 cents we have seriously endeavom
to prove to our customers that thi
Drico must tro ur> close to 25c. Beint
alone in this mental attitude we hav<
been subjected to the ridicule of many
but again it is the old case of "He wh<
laughs last, laughs best.' Why, evei
in our last market letter we said ii
CAPS at the bottom: "WATCl
YOUR CHANCE AND TAKE Or<
SOME COTTON AROUND OR JUS1
BELOW TWENTY CENTS." The da:
our customers received this lette
the price was about 20.40. The fol

We cant do better than this no mai

LLOYD GEORGE
RESISTS ATTACK
r London, June l.'l (By the Associat|
ed Press).?Premier Lloyd George
[ successfully resisted another poweri
ful attack in the house of commons
today when a proposal to reduce the
! cost of his cabinet secretariat was re
jected by 20f> to 111 amid scenes of
excitement. The majority was considerably
smaller than customary and
occasioned shouts of 'resign!" The
secretariat consists of the premier's
i private secretaries with a large stuff
i costing about 2J,000 pounds yearly.
It is an outgrowth of the war and
in the opinion of opposition parties
is no longer needed, giving the premier
too much executive control, especially
in the domain of foreign policy,
besides destroying the traditional
cabinet secrecy as the members of
the secretariat now attend cabinet
meetings and take notes.
Mr. Asquith attacked the system
mainly on this ground, inasmuch as
it destroyed the confidential nature of
cabinet councils.
1 Austen Chamberlain, defending the
vote, said he had experience with
1 both systems ami greatly preferred
1 the new one. He would not think of
returning to the old unbusinesslike

Iitu mr UIIIJ rrviiiu UI iauinet
discussions was a brief letter,
perhaps from the premier to the king.
Mr. Lloyd George, in discussing the
subject, predicted that no responsible
minister in the future would cast
away this new machine. He denied
that the secretariat exercised mysterious
functions or usurped the functions
of parliament or enabled the
prime minister to override the parliament's
decisions. The secretariat had
nothing to do with politics, it had no
control over foreign policy. He asserted
that the world wanted new
methods, and ridiculed the idea that
thex*e should be a return to the old
system, which had plunged the world
into war.
