MAY TAKE HOSPITAL.
Gaffney Offer to Baptists May Be Ac.
cepted.

The offer of the Gaffney hospital,
valued at more than $4,000, and the
gifts from the people Of Gaffney OF
$4,000, was discussed in detail at
the final pre-convention meeting OF
the Baptist general board which met
Tuesday morning and the matter was
referred to the general convention
without recommendation, says the
Columbia Record of Tuesday.
The offer was to give to the board
of trustees of the South Carolina Bap--
tist hospital theshospital at Gahney
and $4,000 with which to build 2
nurses home and improve the hos
pital building in general. 1t is under
stood that the executive committee OF
the board recommended to the gen.
eral board that it accept the ofer,
but it was found expedient to refer
the matter Of acceptance to the South
Carolina Baptist convention, which
was held in Rock Hill.
The session Tuesday morning had
a full attendance of the Baptist board
and the routine business was dis
patched rapidly and with harmony,
according to DR.. c. E. Burts, secre-
tary of the board.

CALCIUM ARSENATE.
Bank In Newberry Buys Twenty
Tons for Use by Farmers on
Next Crop.

Newberry, Dec. 14.-The Exchange
bank has bought carload, 20 tons,
of calcium arsenate and will have it
shipped to Newberry and put in ware
house for the use of farmers on next
years's cotton crop in fighting the boil
weevil. The bank does this not TO
make money, for it does not intend to
make a cent by it; but it believes the
calcium arsenate is going to be scarce
and high next year and is getting this
much in hand for use OF the farmers.
Numbers of farmers in the county
have said they would have made
much larger crops this year but for
the fact that they had run out OF cal
CHM arsenate at the last time or two
it should have been applied and were
not able to get more.

Not to Interfere
In Jefords Case

Columbia, S. G. Dec. 17.-Governor
Harvey will not interfere with the
sentence Of death against Frank NJ.
Jeffords, according to his reply to
personal letter from Jeffords, made
public at the executive Offices yester-
day.
Interference by me solely on the
grounds of Kindness, sympathy and
good will, would be to fiaunt the duly
provided system Of trial provided by
law" the governor says in his letter
to Jeffords. The letter was written
in response to a personal plea from
Jeffords in the form of letter and q
petition for clemency.
'fMy heart goes out to those who
love you, and. I only wish some real
justification warranted me in being
of help to you,'' the governor says.
His full letter to Jeffords is as fol-
lows:
"Dear Mr.. Jeffords: Your letter
received. You will never know just
how sorry I am for you-how feel
for you and your dear ones, and how
I would like to give you some hope
in your trouble. My heart goes out
to those who love you, and I only
wish some real justification warrant
ed me in being of help to you. The
governor is not giving the power OF
clemency, based on sympathetic
grounds. There must be some reason,
not known to the courts. You were
duly tried, according to the law-the
higher courts have passed on the legal
ity of the acts Of the lower courts
appeals through the regular channels
have all been exhausted, and inter-
ference by me solely on grounds OF
kindness, sympathy and good will
would be to faunt the duly provided
system Of trial provided by law. It is
not easy for me to write this. 1t is
heartrending to me-and l am think
ing of you, my poor fellow many
times when you do not know it. / have
my solemn duty to perform, whatever
II costs me, and would not be doing
you fairly, If / answered you other
wise. ...

I believe the most effective meth
cd of eradicating nut grass from a
plot of ground ten yards square
would be to spade your land deep,
throw out all the roots and nuts as
you go. If this is repeated two or
three times, you can completely rid
your ground of the nut grass. Or
course, after the first time this is
not a difficult task. The only other
method 1 know is to shade the grass
to death. On a small plot like yours
this may be done effectively with
building paper or by cropping with
plants which make a dense shade
throughout the year.

House Unseats
7. W. Harrison

Washington, Dec. 15.-Represent-
ative Thomas w. Harrison, Demo-
crat, of the Seventh Virginia district,
was ousted today from the House on
the ground Of Irregularities in the
1920 election in his district. The vote
was 2O2 to 100. The House then seat
ed John P. Aull, Republican contest
ant, who will serve to March 4.
In a parting shot at his Republican
foes just before the vote was taken,
Representative Harrison, charged
that the life of the Republican party
in his State was based on patronage,
and then proceeded to read letters
which he declared "proved incon-
trovertibly" that patronage had been
sold there.
Amid the utmost confusion in the
chamber Mr.. Harrison declared that
Representative Bascomb Slemp, OF
the Ninth Virginia district, and Re-
publican national committeeman, was
the dispenser Of all patronage. Then,
holding aloft handful of letters and
cancelled checks, Mr.. Harrison de-
clared they supported his charges.
While he made no reply in the
House, [Mr. Slemp, in a statement to-
night said that neither Powell nor
anybody else had been authorized to
collect money for the party organl-
zation with the promise of office, and
if this had been done it was without
his knowledge or approval.
The first of the letters read by Mr..
Harrison purported to have been
written by Mr.. Slemp to Powell in
answer to letters 'sin regard to the
collection of money for postofices.
Zone must be very careful about
this" the letter said. 'It will bring
the party into disrepute, which would
be bad for every one. We must pre-
serve our stand with the people and
the administration"
It was on the heels of Mr.. Har-
rison's speech, which Republicans de-
scribed as an effort to attack Mr.
Slemp, that the House shut off debate
and voted, 202 to 100, to declare his
seat vacant. With this done, it voted,
POI to SO, to seat John P. Aull, Re-
publican contestant, who was immedi-
ately sworn in to serve until March 4.
Mr.. Harrison was elected in Novem-
ber and will return to his seat in the
new Congress.

Of
Attack on Mine

Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-THE attack
on the Hefin strip mine, the death
march through the town with the
captives and the hunting down of a
few fugitives was described today by
witnesses at the trial of five men held
in connection with the killings.
All but one of the defendants were
named as having been seen with a
gun during the progress of the riot
ing, Ibut all the witnesses so far heard
have declared they could not identify
any persons they had seen in the act
of shooting at the victims.
In an argument between opposing
counsel, Judge d. T. HartWell, rul-
ing in favor of the prosecution, said:
II want the whole thing to come
out, and I do not want to exclude any
testimony on a mere technically"
The defendants who have been
pointed out by witnesses as having
been seen carrying guns during the
rioting are Otis Clark, Bert Grace,
Joseph Carranghi and Levi Mann.
The name Of Peter Hitler, the fifth
defendant, has not yet appeared in
any of the testimony.
Donald M. Ewing, Chicago news
paper man, who wrote the first &C
count of the killings for the Associa-
ted Press, picked out Grace from
among the defendants as man who
had threatened him with gun when
he attempted to bring drink OF
water to two injured men who were
lying on a sun-baked road, surround
ed by crowd of armed men just out
side of Herrin.
The witness said there were six
dead or wounded men lying in the
road, all of them bound together by
a single rope tied about their necks.
"Grace put his foot on one of the
wounded men and pushed" the wit
ness declared, and quoted the defen-
dant as saying with curse:
you'll get no water here"
Three other witnesses testified as
to various incidents in connection
with the tragedy.
At the close of the afternoon ses-
sion Judge Hartwell announced an
adjournment of court over Saturday
and Sunday.

FAIRIES REMOVED
TO CELL BUILDING

Columbia, Dec. 15.-Notice Of in
tention to appeal to the supreme
court from the lower court verdict
was served upon the penitentiary au-
thorities yesterday by attorney for
w. C. FAIRIES, the York county man
convicted of the murder of Newton
Taylor and sentenced to die in the
electric chair December 20. This
notice automatically stays the death

FAIRIES was removed from the death
house after the notice was served and

Yesterday two cells in the death
house were vacant, FAIRIES having
been removed and Ira Harrison being
in the prison hospital.
Harrison was still in his apparent
stupor or state of coma in the after
noon when seen at the hospital. He
refuses to talk and takes no inter-
est in happenings around him. How
ever, he eats when he is fed.
Edmund Bigham, the Pamplico,
man convicted of the murder OF his
brother, L. Smiley Bigham, is round
ing out 20 months in the death house.
Yesterday he again declared he was
innocent and that if he had received
fair trial he could have proved his
innocence. Bigham does not consider
that he has ever been tried.
In the cell next to Bigham Is Frank
M. Jeffords. Yesterday Jeffords was
reading a Bible and when asked how
he was feeling replied "Pretty good"
