Appeal for Harrison and Jeffords

EPPSoI lSE anu
Columbia, July 14.-Motions to
dismiss the appeals of Edmund D.
Bigham, Ira Harrison and F. NJ. JEFF
ords, three of the six men in the
death house at the state penitentiary.
will probably be made before the
supreme court at it's next sitting on
September /, when an en- banc ses-
sion of the court is to be held in Co.
lumbia.
Bigham of Florence county was to
have died on July IA, for the murder
of his brother, Smiley Bigham, but
an appeal stayed the execution. Har-
rison and Jeffords of Columbia were
to have died on June IS for the
murder of J. C. Annette of Columbia
but appeals stayed their executions.
Solicitor Gasque of Marion and So
licitor Spigener of Columbia will like
ly appear before the court on Sep
tember to move for dismissal of the
appeals, and if the motions are
granted the men will be taken back
to their courts to be re-sentenced.
The time for Jeffords and Harri-
son to perfect their appeals would
have expired on the 18th, but Judge
Townsend at Camden Wednesday
granted an extension of ten days, so
htat they will have until the 22nd
now in which to perfect their appeals
the extension being granted because
of the fact that the transcription of
the testimony was not completed un-
til a few days ago, the testimony be-
ing very voluminous. If the appeals
are not perfected by the 22nd, they
will automatically be dropped, and
re-sentencing will be the next step.
Should they be perfected, the solici-
tor would have the privilege of NOV
ing their dismissal.
The time for perfectlng Blgham' s
appeal has not yet expired. If it is
perfected, Solicitor Gasque will, he
has indicated, appear before the su-
preme court at it's next session and
move for dismissal.
There are six men in the peniten-
tiary death house now. Besides Big
ham, Harrison and Jeffords there are
Otto Sullivan of Greenville, Brad
ford Boyd, young colored man of
Richland county and Elliott Gull
breath of Saluda.

How many Of US use the power which
we possess in pushing forward as
much as we use it in meeting an
emergency? Is there not tendcn-
cy after having made great achieve

ness? In other words how much of
this vast storehouse of power within
each of US is called into action each
day that we live? These are queS-
tions which we ought to be concern
ed about. The world is potentially
powerful-immensely so-but only
through the combined efforts Of those
who are converting the possible into
the actual, and the ideal into the
real is there anything really being
accomplished,
God has blessed us with wonderful
possibilities. He has made our ma
ton the greatest potential power on
earth. He has placed in our hands
sway, government. Poten-
tiaI power is blessing only in 50 far
as it is cultivated and made available
for active service. Shall we be po-

great. Unless we make use Of our
potential greatness we cannot hope
to occupy our rightful place as cog
in the great wheel which is grinding
out human history.
Potential power-how thankful
we should be to possess it. How
eager to make it actual, real, COM

State Chairman Rules Contrary to
Attorney General Regarding En-
rollment of Women
The State, IL.

The State, IL.
The State is in receipt of a COM
munication from Edgar A. Brown of
Barnwell, state chairman Of the DEM
ocratic party, enclosing formal
statement, in which he rules that in
order to qualify as voter in the ap-
preaching primaries, the applicant
must declare his or her age. This
ruling conflicts with a recent opin-
ion from Attorney General Wolfe, in
which it was held sufficient that the
applicant show that he or she would
be 21 or older. Mr.. Brown is law
yer.
Writing to a member of the staff
of The State, Mr.. Brown said yester-
day:
81 have given some serious thought
to the rules of the party referring
to the age of applicants for member
ship in Democratic clubs, and for

cat first blush l felt like concur
ring in the opinion rendered by the
attorney general, to the effect that
the rules only require women to indi-
cate on the enrolment book that they
are 21 plus. However, the more l
read the rules and the more think
of the matter, l am convinced that
his ruling is entirly contrary to the
true intent and requirements Of the
party rules. Read carefully Rule 6,
and then read carefully Rule II.
81 am therefore constrained to
give it as my opinion that in order to
qualify as voter in the primary, it
is absolutely necessary that the ap-
plicant shall write in person upon
the club roll, his or her full name
and age, occupation and postofice
address, etc.
81 hand you herewith a statement
which l have prepared for publica-
ton. I hope you will see that it gets
the widest publicity, in order that the
women may have an opportunity to
avoid improper enrolment in this
respect"

POTENTIAL POWER

Potntial Power-what a thought
Who knows the secrets which are con-
cealed beneath the folds of influence
so great; who knows the possibilities
of potentiality; and who can foretell
the magnitude of power. Potential
power, that force which exists in pos
sibility but not in actuality. All,
there the rub, not in actuality. Why
not in actuality? Who is responsible
that so much power in the world to-
day is merely potential; possible but
not actual; capable of being done
but not existing in reality. And why?
There is so much potential power
in the world today and men every
where are prone to await the emer-
eency before exercising the strength
of their might. We have no doubt
whatever that should the occasion de-
mand it, the forces of our great
country would combine again to
crush an enemy even more powerful
than was Germany. We are con-
vinced that the potential power of
the United States IS as great as that

IRISH VOTES ASSURE
COALITION CABINET
Pro-Treaty Men Will Have
Big Lead in Dali.

DUBLIN, June II ASSOCIATED Press).
Lacking definite announcement as to
the outcome Of the elections for new
Dali, the results OF which are not
expected to be known until next Tues
day at the earliest the estimate is
hazarded in some quarters that the
Republicans will have forty representa-
tives. that the group which represents
pro5treaty sentiment in the old Dali will
have sixty members, while the newcom-
ers will number twenty-eight.
If all the newcomers support the
treaty, the likelihood of which has been
pointed out, it would give the Free
State forces majority of forty-eight
on the treaty issue The Republicans,
however. do not expect the division will
follow these lines. and prefer to re-
gard the new Parliament as likely to
consist of 100 old Sim Fein members
against twenty-eight not attached to
that party organization.
They say that the coalition Cabinet.
therefore. Is safe against attack on any
policy advanced by the combined Sim
Fein wings. The Cabinet is expected to
focus it's attention on administration
and the Ulster problem.

for fresh election. If the coalition can

based on universal adult suffrage.
1t was assumed prior to the election
that all Sim Fein voters would vote the
