HONORS PAPERS IN
EXTRADlTI0N CASE
COOPER ACTS ON REQUISITION
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Gives Out Statement.
Alleged Bamberg County White Men
Brought Two Negroes From
Tar Heel State.

Governor Cooper yesterday honored
the requisition from Governor Beckett
of North Carolina for w. D. Mayteld,
Jim Breedin and Henry B. Sandifer,
charged with kidnapping. The alleged
fugitives are to be delivered to W. S.
Braswell to be returned to North-Car-
olina.
Governor Cooper gave out the fol-
lowing statement with regard to the
"Mayfeld kidnapping case" as it has
been generally termed:
II have given the matter very care
full consideration and have delayed
action longer probably than I should.
"A great many people Of this state have
urged me to refuse the requisition for
various reasons AS public official
obligated to execute the law, I can
not adopt a course which is contrary
to the clear mandate of the law. The
law in this case is clear and my duty
therefore equally clear. I can not be-
lieve that the consequences which
some citizens of this state seem to
fear will follow in this case, but what
ever the consequences may be, could
not refuse to honor the requisition
viewing the case as do
The Mayfeld case has attracted
considerable attention both in North
Carolina and South Carolina and has
been before Governor Cooper for some
weeks.
In April, 1920, Jesse Jones and Eu-
gene Stroman, two negroes, left the
plantation of W. D. Mayfield in BAN
berg county, it is claimed, and went
to work On the place of N. Zorn in
Anson county, North Carolina. May,
field alleged that the men had dis,
posed of property under lien and took
out a warrant for their arrest and re-
quisition papers we're issued by Gov
Iernor Cooper for their return to South
Carolina. Governor Beckett of North
Carolina refused to honor the requisi-
tion papers on the ground that it
seemed that the papers were issued
for the collection of debt.
1t is claimed that on July % the
3Bamberg men, assisted by constable
of Wadesboro, N. c., went in an au'
tomobile to tRe house, where the two
negroes were staying, placed hand,
cuffs on the negroes and brought them
back to South Carolina. 1t is said
that Mayfield claims that the negroes
came willingly.
Charges of kidnapping were ther
| brought against the men involved
and the requisition papers from Gov
ernor Beckett have been before Gov.
ernor Cooper for some time. Yes
terday he honored them.-The State

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE.
County Attendance Officer Calls At
tentiOn to Provisions of the Law.

\. H. Fender, county attendance
officer, makes the following state
ment in regard to the compulsory
school attendance law:
Gas last year was the first year OF
the operation of the compulsory at
tendance law in South Carolina and
as it was an experiment in this state,
it was the purpose of the legislature
that the law should not be too
rigidly enforced in order that
the people may become ac-
customed to it's operation.
This year it will be the policy of the
attendance officer of this county to be
more strict in the enforceemnt of the
provisions of the law and to this end
he asks the cooperation of all the
trustees, patrons and teachers of the
county. The attendance officer wish
es to express his appreciation of the
cooperation which he received last
year. In fact, almost every one fell
in line with the law and seemed to
be very glad to comply with it.
''The following is a brief statement
of the law:
Every child between eight and
fourteen years of age must attend
school for four consecutive months
or eighty days during the scholastic
year.
ANY child physically, mentally or
morally unfit for attendance at school
is exempt from the requirement to
attend.
"Any child living more than two
and, one-half miles from school and
any child under twelve years of age
living more than two miles from
school, may claim exemption.
''In the case of widowed mother
or of crippled father any child above
twelve years of age whose labor may
be necessary for the support in whole
or in part, of any person may be ex-
cused.
"Otherwise, the only excuses ac-
cepted for absence are those due to
providential causes, or conditions ov-
er which the parents or child have no
control.
''The fixing of the date for the be-
ginning of the compulsory term is left
with the local trustees, but it is the
earnest request of the state denart-
ment of education that all schoC:s fix
this date at the beginning of the
school term. Full term attendance
can be secured upon written peti-
ton by a majority of the qualified
electors of any district, and so, if the
compulsory term is put at the begin
ming of the school term this would
enable any district to put on full
term attendance.
''It is the duty of the teachers to
report monthly to the attendance Of
ficer the absence of any child be-
tween eight and fourteen years of
age. Suitable blanks will be furnish
ed this year to the teachers for this
purpose. This will simplify the work
of both teacher and officer.
"The attendance officer would like
to know as soon as possible the date
of the beginning of each school in
the county,"

RECOMMENDS SEPARATION.
Grand Jury Would Install Superin-
tendent of Education for County.

The following is the presentment
of the grand jury:
State of South Carolina, County of
Bamberg-Court of General Sessions.
To the Honorable James E. Peuri-
foy, Judge presiding in the second
circuit, Bamberg, S. c., September
term, 1920:
We, the grand jury, beg leave to
herewith present our acts and doings
as such for and during the said term,
also the result of our Investigations
and all other matters required of us
under the laws of this state and your
honor's charge:
/. We take this method of thank
ing your honor for the very courteous
treatment shown us, also the solicitor
and the several court officials.
2. We have passed on all bills
handed us by the solicitor.
3. We have visited all the county
Offices, jail and chain gang, and are
pleased to state that we found all the
offices in good condition and we'll
kept, and all seem to be doing their
duty. The chain gang, we found in
good sanitary condition and the pris-
oners are being cared for and treated
in as humane manner as is conducive
to punishment.
4. AS to the county jail, we are
glad to report that all of our former
recommendation have been attended
to, except the repairing of the leak:
in the back hall and the repairing OF
window panes and certain sashes,
which are still in need of attention.;
also the waterworks, which we recon-
mended, will be installed at an early
date, as funds for the same have been
appropriated.
5. We find that the windows in
Judge of probate's office are en-
tirely worthless as to protection. We
recommend that these be repaired
Immediately.
6. We also recommend that fire.
place and window sills be repaired in
this office and the auditors Office.
Z. In connection with our former
recommendation as to the public
closets, we beg to recommend that
this will be attended to at an early
date, as the money for this work has
been appropriated. e..
8. We urgently recommend to the
proper authorities, that the office OF
county superintendent of education
be separated and divorced from the
office of county auditor, as it now
stands, and that we have competent
man for the said office of superintend-
ent of education, and pay him living
salary, and require him to give his
entire time to the duties of the office,
and to this end, if the same is possible
and lawful, we recommend that the
present attendance officer of the coun-
ty schools be given the duties of the
superintendent of education and sup
plement his salary with an additional
salary from the county, to such an
extent as will enable him to devote
his entire time to this work.
9. We recommend that all books
of the county officers be audited by an
expert accountant once every two
years, including the year ending De-
cember 81, 1920. We respectfully
request your honor to urge that this
be done before newly elected officers
are installed.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

Foreman.

on the battleship Ohio.
1t was in order to be present at this
hearing that Lieut.. Commander Cooke
was absent from the returning group.
According to the story, at about 2
o'clock Wednesday after the So was
about 55 miles off Cape HenlOpen,
when Lieut.. Commander Cooke gave
orders for a practice ''crash dive.
This is a war maneuver, used when
speedy submerging is desired. 1t has
been successful.
Something Was Wrong.
The signal had been given and
every man was at his place. The
matches were closed and water doors
we're opened as the air blast was
forced out and the water rushed in
and the boat began to sink. In
moment the Indicator showed some
thing was wrong. The bow was sink
ing faster than the stern. An lnspec-
ton that required only seconds show
ed the air indication ha 1 failed to
work and one of the sea valves had
not closed. Three minutes passed and
the submarine was still sinking but
unevenly. Orders flashed out from
Commander Cooke from Lieut.. Char
les Grischam and Ensign J. B. Long
staff. Every man knew something
was seriously wrong but not one left
his station. Then there came bump.
''It took US some time to realize
just what had happered,' said Yokcr.
eve were too busy to worry for a
moment" All but three donned
masks, and for hours they had their
long fight for life. The three men
without masks are now patients in
the navy yard hospital.
AS the gas spread through the boat
the 81 men we're forced from one
compartment to another getting near
er the stern each time until all we're
gathered there.
Crowded in the stern of the boat,
the men drank the juice of canned
peas and beans until they were too
weak to open cans. They tried to eat
other food, but the oil and water had
ruined it. Without a watch or a
match, the men were unable to tell
whether it was night or day. Com
mander Cooke suggested that when
they pierced the shell and set "a
signal they would need something
for night sign of distress. One of
the commissioned officers volunteered
to dash into the chlorine filled torpedo
compartment and get one of the bat
teries there He was permitted to
do so, but in his quest got hold of
one that was useless.
Stephen Gavin, seaman, saluted
and said: eve need that battery;
I'll get it."
And before anybody could protest,
he slipped back into the gas filled
room and returned with the battery.
The presence of eight torpedoes
made the bow heavy and aided in
pressing it further into the mud. Eff
forts to- release the torpedoes were
without result. At about O'Clock,
after the ship had been under water
about six hours, Commander Cooke
decided on trying to force a hole
through the side With Chief Gun
ner's Mate Fox, be searched in the
tolls and tried an electric drill. Then
the commander learned that none of
the electrical apparatus was of any
use whatever.
Only one ratchet was aboard, and
this was used to drill small hole in

NEW YORK, July ETA. P0--
More than 1000 moving picture work
ers in New York and vicinity went
on strike yesterday. tying up OF
crippling a score of film plants. The
reason given for the walkout is the

creases in wages, shorter hours and
recognition Of the union.
Union leaders threatened to spend
the strike throughout the country and
include camera. men, machine ope-
ratOrs, stage hands and others employ
ed in the movie industry.
AL film laboratories IN the met
ropolitan district are affected by the
