THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE n Carolina Refuses V ~ to Abolish Chair Anti-Electrocution Measure Killed for Second Time This Year by 73 to 13 Votes. Experimenters Pave Way for Useful Drug.. Columbia, April 16.—For the second timetEhi*' session, the house of rep resentatives last night again express ed its disapprove! ,of any plan to abolish the death penalty in South •Carolina. Onc e before thi s year the house killed such a bill. It was rein troduced and last night, by a vote of 73 to 13, wa- again sent to its dea^Jr.* Debate cn the measure held the attention of the house for some time. Proponents of the bill to abolish the death penalty and to. substitute life imprisonment therefor contended that the‘'death penalty was not a deterrent to crime and that, when "mistake’s are made, there is no way of rectifying them. -"Opponents of the bill held that to aboli.-h capital punishment would result in increase-uf cijjne, in ynehings and in general lawlessness. A. L.'Gaston, Chester, spake against the bill, replyirfg to the argument ad vanced by proponents, that capital punishment‘wa- un-Ameiican by say ing American laws were modeled af ter English laws and that • capital ppnishment had not l>ecn abolished in that country. He claimed the law was a recognized necessity in. eivjl- JZe<f countries. C. A. Taylor, Spartanhuig. spoke vigorously for the abolition of capital punishment a* did H. C. Godfry, also of Spartanburg. » “Every man who votes agnin«t this bill i K taking a chance I wouldn’t take foi $104)00," Mr. Taylot’ declared as he said responsibility for the death penalty rested on the lawmakers.

You would have lynching u|K»n lynching.” : Godfrey said “Only the extretnely poor and negrfles are put to death in the electric chair.” . i- The enacting word s of the bill were stricken out.
