of the ex-service man. There is still
some of this work to be done.
Under Health Work done by the
Red Cross may be mentioned the
child welfare conference held in
Kingstree under the auspices OF the
Mothers Club, and the one held in
Greelyville, The Red Cross secretary
visited several schools in the country
during the past session and gave
talks on different health subjects.
Last year seventeen schools in the
county Joined the Junior Red Cross.
Altogether there were 1245 Juniors
in the county. These Juniors have
been useful in many different ways,
particularly in helping to knit sweat
ers to be used in this county and to
he sent over seas.
The chief recreational work under
taken by the Red Cross is the Play
Parties that are held in different parts
of the county. There has been one
in Kingstree, one in Greelyville, two
at Cedar Swamp, one at Rock Branch
school, one at old Johnsonville school
and one at Central school. These
were conducted with the help of Miss
Hattie McMurray, the demonstration
agent. We consider these recreation
al gatherings one of the important
parts of the work. They help to
bring the people together and foster
a spirit of cooperation and good will
We hope to do even more along this
line during the coming year.
It might be well to mention also
the fact that the Red Cross had a
booth at the County Fair last year
J This was used partly as a rest room
and was a place where any one could
get a drink of water at all times
Literature on different health subjects
was distributed and there was an eX-
hibit of Red Cross work. There will
be Red Cross booth at the fair again
this year. Any one wishing to rest
a while is invited to come in.
Work of the kind which the Red
Cross is attempting takes a long
time to get really started. With the
proper support the next year should
make the organization a wonderful
: power for good in Williamsburg
county.

FLAWS IN THE Law
SAVE MURDERERS
EXECUTION OF FOX, KIRBY AND
GAPPINS IS INDEFINITELY
DELAYED.

C. O. Fox did not die in the cleo
trio chair at the state penitentiary
last Friday. Neither S. ]. Kirby or
Jesse Gappins. The criminal and ju-
dicial procedure in South Carolina are
so constructed that all three Of the
men escaped the death chair sentence
which was justly imposed by a jury
of their peers in Lexington at the
September term Of court.
Attorneys agree that there are
crimps in the law that should be iron
ed out. This statement has been made
many times lately, prompted by the
C. o. Fox case, whereby on the eve of
his execution, a confessed murderer,
perpetrator of one of the most horri-
BILE crimes in the history of South
Carolina criminal law, escaped the
chair temporarily at least.
H. A. I. Rosenberg, attorney for
Fox, went before Associate Justice
Cothran, of the supreme court Thurs
day afternoon, on a petition Of habeas
corpus, and asked that Fox be allowed
to file an appeal, in spite of the fact
that he had allowed the time for
serving notice of appeal to pass un-
noticed. He claimed that Fox did not
have counsel at that time, or money
with which to employ counsel. JUS
tice Cothran promptly dismissed the
appeal. The lawyer then served on
the attorney general and on Solicitor
Callison notice of appeal from Justice
Cothran's ruling to the entire court,
and under the law ten days time is
allowed for filing this appeal with the
court. With Fox due to go the route
of the electric chair before noon Fri
day, the filing of this appeal notice
Thursday afternoon automatically
stayed the execution, and Fox will
live at least until the next term of
court for Lexington, next February,
when, if his appeal does not stand,
he will be resentenced. Kirby stands
ir the same position, though counsel
for Gappins insists that he is not play
ing for time, but that he will file the
appeal as soon as he can get copy Of
the testimony taken in the trial.
These cases have been the most
puzzling in the state in years. Three
men killed a taxi driver, whose car
they wanted to steal. Two Of them
held him while the third, Fox, bur-
ley man, stabbed him to death, twist
ing the knife around in the body, and
on the stand the three confessed the
entire crime. But they live yet long
er, pending the unraveling of the le-
gal tangle into which attorneys have
thrown their cases.

REPORT OF RED CROSS
Activities From October 1st, 1920
to October 1st, 1921

of the Red Cross has just completed
the first year oil itc new work. When
the war was over most people thought
that the Red Cross was thing of the
past, but Williamsburg county decided
that it would like to try the Red Cross
of Peace, since it had been so success
full with the war work. Following is
brief report of what has been done
under the new conception of the field
of the Red Cross.
The activities of the Red Cross in
this county may be divided into five
parts, Civilian Relief Work, Home
Service Work for men in the army
and their families and for ex-service
men, Health Work, Junior Red Cross,
and Recreation Work.
Civilian relief work has been done
in twenty-ninc families, most of it in
the last few months as it has taken
the public at large some time to re-
alize just what the Red Cross can do
for them. This work has been very
varied. In some cases it has meant
supplying families with food and
clothing, in others, helping take care
of the sick, in two instances it has
been the placing of orphans. One OF
these orphans was taken by the State
Board of Public Welfare and through
this board the child has been adopted
into a good home. Arrangements are
now being made to place two others
in the Connie Maxwell orphanage.
A few weeks ago while the Red
Cross secretary was away, a case was
reported to the Red Cross and the
following report of how it was han
died, was made by w. w. Boddie, the
Publicity Chairman:
"12:57, P. M. DR.. Montgomery tells
me of family in great need.
1:O1, P. M. 1 tell Mrs. Boddie.
Mrs. ------- calls at our house at
this time. I suggest that Mrs. B.
tell her.
2:O4, P. M. An automobile stops
before our office and leaves two bas-
kets of clothing and supplies.
2:O5, P. NJ. Two automobiles arrive
and unburden.
2.O6. P. M. A truck comes with
groceries.
POT, P. M. Two trucks come with
clothing and eats.
2:Os, P. M. Several trucks and auto
mobiles.
2:09, P. M. We phone for masons
and carpenters. The increase of the
holding capacity is imperative.
2:1e, P. M. The chief of police ar
rests several basket bearers for
fighting to get into this office.
2:11, P. NJ. Sheriff Gamble tele-
phones the Governor for military aid
to prevent the town from forcing all
the groceries and clothing herein on
the Red Cross.
2:1s, P. M. Boswell, commander IN
chief, the coughing Red Cross car his
flagship, leads the relief fleet all
speed regulations are suspended for
the time being"
Mr.. Boddie confesses that this re-
port is slightly exaggerated but 1t
shows how big hearted the people OF
this community are and how ready
they are to respond to a call for help
In the Home Service work there
have been eighty cases handled forty
three white ex-service men and thir-
tv-seven for negroes. This included
the making out of compensation
claims, insurance claims and the

No matter how much gives as his membership fee,
all but fifty remains in this county for service here
Fifty each member to the National organlza
ton for its support and for emergency work wherever the
hand of mercy should be extended 1t is hoped that the re-
sponsc of the county during the roll call will
be LIBERAL
1t is certain that these financial days and
that few men give dollar without feeling their
gift These make clearer the duty Of giving IN such
time and more certain the service of the Red Cross is
needed.
Some of the people Williamsburg well prepared

others family church connection without friends
