TRYING To
DEFEAT JUSTICE

Columbia, Sept. 26. - 3. B.
Evans. attorney for Ira Harrison,
one of. the convicted murderers of
j. c. Annette, yesterday filed his
case. and exceptions with the clerk
of the supreme court, this being
preliminary to the hearing Of the
appeal by the court this fall.
Only four exceptions are made
by AR. Evans. two being on the
basis that the lower court erred
in not granting a severance Of the
case when they were tried. A third
exception is that the judge erred in
charging the jury on implied malice
and the fourth, is that the court
erred in the charge on conspiracy.
Z Frank NJ. Jeffords, another OF
the convicted murderers of Annette,
fled his case and exceptions ,ast
week. Richland county cases are
to be heard for five days beginning
Monday. October % and the JEFF
fords and Harrison appeals will
likely be among the first to be
argued. they having the right of
way over civil matters if the soli-
citor wishes to push them.

;. STEADY DETERIORATION
Noted in the Condition OF Cotton
Crop

Washington. Sept. %. - While
asserting that weather conditions
were exceptionally favorab BILE TO
the picking and ginning Of cotton
nj the last week." the weather bu-
'reau in Its weekly crop review is
sued tonight reported "a steady de-
Iterioration' in the condition of the
crop in the northeastern section Of
the cotton belt. Persistent dry
weather and the weevil'' were re-
ported as the chief factors in the
damage reported.
Little or no rain occurred the
review added. '-and there was
abundant sunshine with moderate
Temperatures. which We're excep-
tionally faborable for picking and
#sually rapid progress. Picking was
about three-fourths completed in
the southern half Of Texas and
nearly half done in. the northern
part and was much further adj
yanced than usual for the season
in Oklahoma.
The bolts had nearly all open
ed in Arkansas and Louisiana. The
staple was clean and in good con-
d!tion in the latter state, but the
fibre was generally short in the
former because of dry weather.
Harvest was Well advanced in the
East Gulf states with boils near

of Georgia and mostly open in
Southern North Carolina
