Until May and plant them in the open
The seed is fine and terminates quick
ly and should be scattered thinly
where the plants are to stand and
thinned to 10 inches apart. A pinch
of seed scattered at 14-inch intervals
would solve the problem. thinning to
the healthiest plants in the colony.
They can be transplanted successfully
If moved with good ball of dirt so
the roots are not disturbed too much.
Their growth is surprisingly slow at
the start and they seem to have de-
cided to stand still. 1t may take
them a month or more to reach a
height of three inches, but after that
they start sprint If the weather is
warm and by August will reach
height of from feet to 80 inches.
They need a rich soil and it is well
to allow two or three plants to stand
in each little colony to select the
sturdiest as even with this care some
of them are likely to give up the
ghost. They resent any check in
growth which is one reason why they
stand transplanting badly. Give them
liberal cultivation and plenty of wa
ter and you will have a wonderful
sheet of bloom.

BIGHAM REMOVED
TO CELL BUILDING
Only Those With Definite Day Set to
Be Kept There Hereafter
New Plan

The State, 19.
Edmund D: Bigham, the Pamplico
man who has been in the death house
at the penitentiary for 20 months,
was removed to the main cell build
ing, where he will remain until dis
, posal Of his appeal to the supreme
court.
Hereafter no prisoners under death
sentence except those who have q
definite execution date set. VIII b.
kept in the death house, Col. A. K,
Sanders, superintendent of the pris-
on, announced. Bradford Boyd,
Richland county negro, and Otto Sal
Ivan, Greenville negro, will be re-
moved from the death house this
morning to the main cell building. Or
ders for their removal were issued
yesterday.
Frank NJ. Jeffords will be the only
occupant of the house after the two
negroes are removed. Jeffords is
sentenced to die Friday.
Bigham has been AN occupant OF
the death house since April, 1921
! and was very much pleased to be re-
moved to the cell building. In this
building he will have use of one Of
the entire corridors during the day.
At night he will be locked up the
same as the other prisoners.
; Although removal makes escape a
little easier, Colonel Sanders said, he
decided upon the new plan after ma
ture consideration in an effort to ac-
cord such prisoners under death sem
tence a little more opportunity for
exercise, etc. Life in the death
house is extremely monotonous and
not calculated to build up the morale
OF the prisoners.
Boyd was convicted for attempted
criminal assault in Richland county
and Sullivan was convicted of killing
negro man in Greenville county.
Both have appeals before the supreme
court.
