Xr (VENT TO BIS DEATH WITH THE
PHLEGMATIC STOICISM OF
Ch A BRUTE.
Ejp^. Columbia, July 14:?For the murder
on May 18 lot Aaron Campbell,
his son-in-law,and J H Campbell,the
S-13-a father of Aaron, in Lee county, M L
Garrett, who had served terms on
the chaingang on his county and in
? ^ the State penitentiary, was this
d morning electrocuted at the State
jL prison in the presence of some thirI
v ty-five witnesses. In the crowd were
several citizens of the neighborhood
(*" where the crimes were committed,
brother of Aaron Campbell was
sent to witness the legal atonet
for the deed prompted by jealrage,
which resulted in death to
rother and father.
.rrett, who, during the period
i confinement at the penitentiaas
apparently faced death with
greatest fear, this morning walkito
the .death chamber and satin
chair with splendid composure,
nough it was evident in the low
tones that he used that he felt deep
ly the awful seriousness of the moment.
His last request was: "Kill
me quick and don't nurt me any
[Tr more than you can help,."
wf f At 11:30 the witnesses to the elec\
trocution gathered ijrthe death house
and two minutes later the doomed
man was led into the room. He was
neatly dressed and limped painfully
on one leg, the result of an old j
injury. The death warrant had ear- j
* lier been read. His trousers were
ripped to the knee to allow the clamp1
\ *"*' to be placed around his leg, and all,
that remained to be done was to turn
the switch which sends the powerful
current through the body of the
condemned.

The straps were quickly placed
and Col D J Griffith, superintendent
of the penitentiary, gave Garrett an
opportunity to make a final statement.
"Don't hurt mp any more
than Dossible." he began and told of
having talked to the preachers. "I've
prayed all I could," he said, but expressed
no belief that he would be
saved. He asked that his body be
sent to Sumter for burial and ended
his brief farewell by repeating his
request that he be quickly killed.
State Electrician T Q Boozer adjusted
the helmet of copper and at
11 :H7 o'clock gave the signal to Guard
J C Robbins to turn the switch that
sent 1,900 volts of electricity through
Garrett's body. At the end of a
minute the current was turned off
and an examination of the body by
physicians followed. Death was pronounced
by Dr J T Jennings at 11:41.
Garrett's deed was prompted by a

who married his daughter caused
him to go to her home and the double
killing resulted. Garrett then
forced his daughter to accompany
him to the woods nearby, where he
stayed in hiding for several days,
i Blood-hounds from the penitentiary
trailed the man and finally led to his
place of hiding, where he was captured
without blood-shed.
blease's comment.
Henderson ville, July 14: ? "It
seems that M L Garrett, who was
electrocuted in Columbia today, had
not a friend in the world," said Governor
Blease. The Governor said
that no living soul had spoken a word
in behalf of Garrett. The only let|
ter Governor Blease received in reference
to Garrett was one asking permission
to witness the electrocution.

when he was handed $20,000.

made doubly pleasurable by being

A Record Auto Trip.
A despatch from Sumter says: Mr
D C Shaw and three sons, Gilford,
Whit and Charles, made the trip to ^
Sumter from Hendersonville Thursday
in a touring car, something over 5
two hundred miles, arriving here b<
about 8 o'clock in the evening, after w
a moat successful journey in which ei
they did not have a single mishap to ^
delay them. The trip is generally
considered too long to be taken in e]
one day by automobilists, but this
party made it in one day, driving ni
hard all day long, and only stopping P
once to get gasoline and 'once for
lunch? The trip was made by way
of Greenville, Laurens and Newberry,
where the roads were found in good CI
condition. e?
Mr Shaw is a dealer in automo- rl
biles at Sumter and a valued friend
of The County Record. H
If you can learn to meet to-day's
trouble with a placid soul, tomor- ^
row's problems will come to you with
their answers in their hands.
