; DUPRE MARCHES TO
DEATH WITH SMILE
SHOUTS GOOD-BYE TO SWEETHEART
HELD IN CELL?WAVES
TO CROWD IN STREETS.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.?Maintaining his
stoicism to the last and with a smile
on his lips the black cap was adjusted
preparatory to springing the trap
i under him, Frank B. Dupre, nineteen
years old, paid the death penalty at
TTiil+rtn /?rmntv tail hera todav for
the murder of Irby C. Walker, private
detective, December 15, last.
The trap was sprung at 2:04 o'clock
and sixteen minutes later the youth 1
was pronounced dead.
The scenes attending the execu- J (
tion of Dupre were described by old i
.jail officials as the most dramatic
ever witnessed by them. Outside
the jail the streets on three sides J
were blocked with persons eager to,
get a glimse of the proceedings.
Even the tops of buildings nearby
were occupied by men, women and ,
children. Police reserves were call- j
ed out to keep order. Inside the
prison walls, Dupre probably was
more composed than any of the of- 1
ficials, witnesses or fellow prisoners. (
The youthful bandit was engaged 1
in religious services when the fall of '(
the death trap for Luke McDonald,
negro, convicted of the murder of a
negro woman, could be heard through- .
out the jail. He paid no attention .
to the subject which within the hours 1
was to mean his own end. He con- ]
tinued in prayer until fifteen minutes (
of the hour set for his execution, ,
when unfalteringly he started for the ,
gallows five stories above.
Upon reaching the death chamber, j
Dupre stopped and looked out a window.
,
"That's some crowd, isn't it," he
said to his brother, Joe Dupre. ]
He then pointed out acquaintances 1
below and waived to them, shouting
"Good-bye." j
A deputy sheriff called his atten- .
tion to Betty Andrews, the sweetheart
for whom he robbed the jewel- j
ry store and killed Walker. She was ,
in a cell two fioors below, her face
pressed closely against the bars of
the window. She became hysterical ;
at the sight of the condemned youth,
Who shouted to her:
Good-bye, Betty. I want you to be
a good girl. Won't you 7"
Has words were drowned in the
. cries of the crowds below.
"Be good, Betty, be good," Dupre
repeated again and again. Then as
the crowd became quiet:
"You are going to meet me in
Heaven, aint you Betty?" the bandit
shouted at his sweetheart.
"Yes," was the reply.
Dupre turned to a deputy sheriff
and asked:
"Well, are you all ready?"
The deputy, too choked with emotion
to reply, led the boy away to the
11 -
g&llOWS.
"God bless you all," Dupre shout- j
d as he waived a farewell.
The condemned youth led the pro-j
cession to the gallows, surveyed his,
surroundings and then asked his
spiritual advisers to sing:
"A mother's prayer has followed
- roe."
Dupre's last audible words, uttered
as the black cap was being adjusted
over his head, were:
"Please brush back my hair."
The suit in which Dupre was hanged
was the same one worn by him
on the day of his crime.
The execution of Dupre brought to
an end one of the most determined
legal battles ever waged in the history
of Georgia criminal courts. All
other efforte having failed to stay
execution a final'appeal was made to
president Harding yesterday duc ne;
# replied that he was without author- j
ity to intervene in the case.
** ???? I
Abbeville, Sept. 2.?Attended by
his father and brother, a few friends,
from Atlanta, and a crowd of sym-1
AjL pathetic and curious townsfolk, the'
W'* funeral of Frank B. Dupre, nineteen'/"
year-old "Peachtree bandit," who was,
hanged at Atlanta Friday, for the
murder of Irby C. Walker, private
detective, was held here this afterr
* noon.

i-j Taking oi.e of the most drastic
W ' steps ever attempted in a strike sit*
uation, the United States government
? ' Friday obtained a temporary federal
| order restraining striking railroad

bodies throughout the country from

SUCCESSFUL SALES
BY TOBACCO CO-OPS,
South Carolina Growers Urged to
Hasten Second Cash Payment
By Prompt Deliveries.
Such succesful sales have been made
by the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association to the important leai
dealers and manufacturers that cash
advances have been increased en the
deliveries of tobacco by South Carolina
mnmhpv< nnd n second cash nay
mcnt will be made in the near future
provided the members increase their
deliveries sufficiently within the next
two weeks.
The system of marketing which
started smoothly at the August opening
of the Cooperative warehouses in
South Carolina and Eastern North
Carolina is now in perfect working
order and can handle very heavy deliveries
according to T. C. Watkins,
manager of warehouses for the association.
In a letter mailed this week to
all South Carolina members, M. 0.
Wilson, secretary of the association
urges the growers to aid in hastening
the second advance by delivering
as rapidly as possible. Secretary
Wilson says "Our members have delivered
to the Tobacco Growers Association
in the South Carolina belt
ten million pounds but as the sales
department have made these sales
and can handle your tobacco as rapidly
as you will bring it in we desire
that you make your deliveries as
rapidly as possible. If you will make
the delivery of your tcbacco promptly
you will have rendered the association
and yourself a service for you
will enable your officers to make a
second payment at an earlier date
and we will save some expense in
handling the tobacco.
On a new appraisal that has been
made by the banker committee the
advance will be greater than it has
been on what has been delivered, but
the growers that have delivered will
receive the benefit of this advence in
the second payment, so that if you
will make the deliveries as early as
you can get the tobacco in proper
condition it will mean an early distribution
of the next payment."
Enthusiasm for the new marketing
plan is rapidly spreading from South
Carolina and the East to the old belt
of North Carolina and Virginia where
increasing members of growers are
joining the cooperative every week.

Kings tree School Opens September 18.
The fall session of Kingstree high
and graded school will begin Monday J
morning, September 18th, at 9 o'clock.
On Friday morning, September 15th,
at 9 o'clock all conditioned pupils
and those who have studied mrougn
the summer and are candidates for
advanced standing, will be expected
to report at the school building for
examination. Teachers will be on
hand to give these examinations.
High school pupils who wish to secure
state high school diplomas, can
do so by entering the high school in
the tenth grade and continuing
through hte eleventh grade. Two
years in an accredited four year high
school are necessary before a pupil
can receive one of these diplomas.
All pupils who expect to enter
school this fall are urged to come on
the first day and to attend regularly
thereafter. Pupils who are irregular
in attendance cannot expect to ao
the required work and they retard,
not only their own progress, but the
progress of the entire grade. We
have an excellent corps of teachers
and we expect to accomplish much
during the coming session.
All patrons and friends of the school
are invited to attend the opening exercises
in the school auditorium on
the morning of the eighteenth, at
nine o'clock.
