KIRBY FILES HIS APPEAL
CAPPINS FILES HIS SOON
Gappin's Attorney to Perfect Appeal
by 18th for Solicitor Callison-
Will ask Dismissal
Columbia Record, Jan. 3.

Columbia Record, Jan. 3.
The appeal Of S. J. Kirby, now
in the death house of the state pen
Iitentary, has, within the past few
days, been filed with Solicitor CALI
son, of Lexington, according to "a
statement made by the solicitor yes
terday. The appeal of Jesse Gappins,
another member of the trio convicted
of the murder of William Brazell,
Columbia taxi driver last summer,
will be filed with the solicitor within
week or two, by the 18th, the soli-
citor states. Attorneys for Gappirs
have recently received copies Of the
Transcribed testimony n the case,
ard this means the appeal will shortly
be perfected. The appeal of C. 0.
FcX, from the decision of Associate
Justice Cothran, in refusing writ
Of ccrtcrari for an appeal to the
United States supreme court, will be
heard by the supreme court, at its
April tenn, and Until the three cases
are disposed of oy the appellate court,
the three men cannot be resentenced
to the electric ck4ir, TO which they
were sentenced .oy the, Lexington
court last summer.
Solicitor Callison states that he in
tends to ask the supreme court early
IN its Ap.:l session to dismiss the
appeals Of the three men, under the
noE rule adopted by the court during
The recent fall term, whereby the
court has the right to dismiss an ap-
pol, Oh motion Of opposing counsel,
if it is found that the appeal lacks
re:t, w;chout the necessity of formal
Arguments n the case and the neces-
s;'% cf formal opinion in deciding
-. iz-@e. 1t is not generally believ-
c& ct :hc appeals Of the three men
have merit, rs no points raised nGw
we've raised :; The time of trial, and
the three men admitted their guilt.
If, when 'tac sclicitor moves for d,s-
m!ssal CT the appeals, no merit in the
sr,rc2s,,s appears to the supreme court,
the arro2!; can ,Se dismissed and the
prisoners 5cNt back to the circuit
court to be re-sentenced. Under
such 4 situation, Fox, Kirby and Gap
pins will be resentelced at the term
CT ccurt which convenes in Lexington
county in May. If the court does not
dismiss tie appeal. but holds thzt
tkc"e is sufficient merit for argu-
T,ei,..; and consideration of the
casr by the court. then the men could
ka~d!y he reserterced until the Sep
t13e- term, following a decision of
tho caces Toy the supreme court.
Kirby, whose appeal has been filed,
Uses the point that the clerk of
court records in Lexington do not
show that the grand jury was proper
ly sworn. He also takes certain ex-
ceptions to the judges charge as to
the question Of malice.

Year Hunters Asked % 'Ioy=rn

Not in years has such an interest
been shown as at present III this CON
ty in hunting, according to sta:"-
men.s of game officials If the codqty
and section. Game. ts>HcI&:t qua.
appe2''s abundant il Ii" coe":y ms
year, ard various ard sYu1cy M!'n'o is
have sailed forth IN quest Of the
birds.
However, county w&.d,.,: h.vo =
sued %ayning 10 those who woul i:i.1.t
without the proper credentials. This
local warning has been supplemented
by an explanation from Chief Game
Warden Richardson, as follows:
The State game department has
already this season convicted 462 per
sons for violating the game and fish
laws. a large percentage Of these
convictions grew out Of cases where
people attempted TO hunc without l.
censes, especially during the holidays,
Each county game warden has been
ordered to be on the alert and to
thoroughly cover his county during
holidays and to demand Of every hun
ter to show that he has the proper
kind of license. Also q good many
special deputies are covering different
sections of the state with positive il
structions to see that every person
hunting has the proper kind of license
and that the game ard fish laws are
o5eyed."
In order that those who wish 70
hunt may understand exactly what is
necessary for them to nave in The way
of licenses, he states that:
"AlI non-residents of South Carroll
ma, regardless Of whether they own
land in this state c. not, are required
to procure what IS kncwn as non
resident hunting LceGse, the cost of
which is $15.25. 4 Nonresident hold
ing such license is entitled 20 hunt III
any county III the state.
"A bona fide resident Of any county
wishing TO hunt in the county in which
he lives is required to procure what
is known as county hunting license,
the cost of which is $1.10. a county
hunting license is saleab:e only to a
resident Of the county, and q resi-
dent Of one county cannot go into an
other county and buy a county Il
censc.
"a BONA fde resident Of South Car
DINA wishing to hunt outside The
county in which ne lives is required to
procure what IS known as a state hUnt
irg license, the cost Of which is S3.10.
A state hunting license entities the
holder thereof to hunt in any county
in the state.
Licenses can be obtained from the
county game wardens or any Of their
agents, said agents being located in
practically every town in each coun-
".
The penalty for violation of the
resident license law is S25, and the
penalty for violation Of the non-res-
ident license law could be as much
as $500.
ALI persons who expect tc DO any
hunting are warned that It will be
well for them to procure the proper
kind OF license"

DECLARES SOUTH WILL
KEEP GROWING COTTON
Samuel Dobbs, Atlanta Millionaire,
Sounds Optimistic Note in
Interview
Anderson Tribune.

God made the South to. grow cot
ton and not even the boil weevil re-
enforced by sluggish markets, or any
thing else Will ever be able TO defeat
that purpose, is the opinion of Sam
uel c. Dcbbs, Atlanta millionaire
banker, merchant, cotton exporter and
one of the big business men Of the
South, expressed here yesterday IN an
exclusive interview with a Tribune
representative. Mr.. Dob5s declared
that I'VE cannot hope to compete with
the middle west in the growth Of corn;
we cannot expect to grow wheat for
market in competition with the Dako-
tas, but we can beat them by growing
cotton" he said. eve can grow cot
ton despite the boil weevil. the pink
boil worm or any other chronological
pests and it will forever be the money
crop Of the Southland" he continued.
Mr.. Dobbs, who 35 years ago made
his way into Atlanta a barefoot Geor-
gia farm boy and secured a job as a
porter in drug store, later became
president of the Coca Cola company,
head of one great Atlanta bank. dirac-
tor of another and a cotton broker
and merchant on an international
scale. He was in Anderson yesterday
in connection with business of his
firm, the Warrant Export and Dis
count company of which he is presl-
dent and was the guest of joseph j..
FretweIl. Thirty years ago l sold
Coca-Cola through this town as an
ordinary travelling salesman he said,
"and to tell you the truth the town
has grown about as much in the
meantime as the dope business. ="
The one time farm boy and drug
store porter insisted that the princ;-
pal section of America in the future
will be the South. "It has natural
raw materials, and above that 1t has
the advantage of virile and brlney
people. The Carolinas and Georgia
will show the rest of the country
something some of these days he
said. He remarked of the fine agri-
cultural land about here, of the IN
terest of farmers in doing their wohk
in the most modern fashion and on
their lack Of skepticism Of anything
lust because it is new.
When pressed regarding his theo-
ry of the weeviI in the cotton belt
Mr.. Dotbs, who has been Interested
in cotton one way or another ever
since he was farm 5oy-with the
possible exception Of his tenure IN
the drug store-insisted that they
are doing it now in Alabama, Missis5-
ippi, Georgia and Texas, despite the
weevn. We can't grow cotton JUS
like we always have, we will have 70
adopt new methods Of combating the
weeviI just as they are now in The
earlier infested areas" Cotton viii
not remain the "sustenarce crop OF
the South as it has in tho pas ba. It
will always De oar Money crap, d'Ter-
sifcation or no d;Versi1c2tjoa, he
concluded.
