NATIONAL FOREST

The Standard and Fox Park Tim
Der Companies. operating in the

clear cutting strips from fifty to one
hundred feet in width through the
heavy timber along the highway be-
tween Fox Park n Bear Gulch,
which is the connecting link Of Fox
Park with the characterization road.
All the material is removed and a
double purpose is served as the re-
moval of the heavy timber permits
the sun to play without obstruction
upon the road and thus it is dried
out more quickly and the right-of-
way serves also as a fire lane - a
very valuable factor in the control
of forest fires.
Authority for such cuttings Is pro
yided by a regulation which provides
that timber nay be disposed of

throng was startled about 5 o'clock
this afternoon when Mrs. M. c. Hun
nicut drew a small calibre pistol and
fired one shot in the direction of an
automobile near the intesection OF
Main and Coffee streets, in which sat
her husband and Miss Fannie Hovis.
The bullet did not strike either Of the
couple, but went through the back OF
the automobile, struck the side of a
building, ricocheted and struck Mr..
Crosby, barber, who was standing
at the entrance to his shop. Al
though the ball hit Mr.. Crosby in
the head, it had spent its force and
he was not injured.
Police arrested Mr.. and Mrs. Hun

Cotton Growers Association.

Columbia Nov. 27.-Cooperative
marketing of cotton is the greatest
constructive force now working for
the development of Southern pros
perity, in the opinion Of Carl Will
liams, president of the American Cot
ton Growers Exchange. Mr.. Will
liams has been in Columbia for two
days in conference with the board of
directors and management of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers as
sociation.
"The orderly marketing program
followed by the cotton cooperative of
the South, is generally acknowledged
to be a great stabilizing force on
cotton prices" said Mr.. Williams.
"This has assured the Southern farm
ers of the good price for cotton dur
ing the period when farmers them
selves had cotton to sell. This same
result has been experienced by other
commodity cooperative associations
in the United States. Those agricul-
tural sections, which have profited for
the longest period by this system of
marketing, are today first in the
United States in per capita bank de-
posits and among farmers, first in per
capita trade in stores, first in good
roads, first in quality of country
teachers, first in number and size of
country churches, first in salaries of
rural preachers and first in rural re-
creation.
"These things have direct rela-
tion to city and town business. The
effect of the .cooperatives has been
to increase the percentage of the con-
sumer's time, which the farmer re-
ceives, and thereby to increase his
buying power and raise his standard
of living. The natural result is that
all business is benefited proportion
ally.
81 am very much pleased with the
progress of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative association
and equally well pleased with the
support, which has been given the
association by farmers, business men
and bankers of this state. The as
sociation has already passed the ex-
perimental stage and has become a
permanent part of the life of South
Carolina. There is every indication
that it will handle more than 20 per
cent. of the total cotton crop in South
Carolina this year, and that it has
become a dominant figure in the cot
ton business of this state.
Eight other state organizations
Of similar size, character and policies
are working with the South Carolina
association. Their total membership
is more than 175.000 cotton farmers" !"

am still of the opinion that Mr..
Witherspoon was able to give the
defendant fair and impartial trial,
and that he was a competent juror.
He said he had formed this opinion
from reading newspaper accounts of
the case, and anyone who read the
facts in the case would be justified
in saying the same, thing. If 1 am
in error, the supreme court can cor
rect me.
81 do not see how the jury could
have brought in another verdict, un-
less, of course, they had exercised
their right to recommend mercy.
They chose not to do so and, l be-
lieve were amply justified in choos-
ing that course by the most terri
bic circumstances surrounding the
tragedy.
"Never have l heard more pow
erful plea for mercy than that made
by counsel for the defense. l do not
see how more could have been said,
or said more effectively. The verdict
only shows that counsel must have to
present something more than elo-
quence, something more than words.
So, however eloquence counseps plea,
Me had nothing to base it upon.
"Faries' own testimony wSe .suffi-
cient to convict him of murder. The
details of the four slayings shocked
the sensibilities of the entire state.
If there we're ever case in the
annals of the state criminal law that
was murder, this is it."
Ask for FAIRIES Life.
'T am coming to you to ask you
for his life, and his life alone" Mr.
Mellow told the jury in his argument
Effort was made. Mr.. Mellow said
in court, to secure compromise OF
the case. The defense agreed to al
low FAIRIES to plead guilty Of murder
with recommendation of mercy.
"This Offer" Mr.. Mellow said,
"was refused by the solicitor, and
attorneys for the defense propose to
use every device known to the law
to save the mans life"
Attorneys for FAIRIES in their argu-
ments again raised the question OF
insanity, which prior to the trial
Ihad been advanced by them as their
chief defense. This was based upon
the story of the killing as admitted
lby FAIRIES and recounted by witnesses
for the state, and not upon any ex-
pert testimony as to FAIRIES mental
condition. Alienists had been intro
duced by neither side, and the only
reference to an insanity plea in the
record was the claim of FAIRIES, made
on the stand, that he was not in full
possession of his faculties after fir
ling the first shot.
The nature of the crime was such
lin itself, counsel also argued, as to
furnish proof of the fact that the
murders were the doings of man
mentally unbalanced.
Effort was also made By Mr.: Nc
Dow and Mr.. Blease to convince the
Jury that the alleged injury to one

quent plea for the admitted slayer
