JEFFORDS DIES IN '
ELECTRIC CHAIR
]
PAYS PENALTY FOR TAKING (
LIFE OF BUSINESS . j
PARTNER. a
I
The death cells in the South Carolina
State prison at Columbia were \
empty Friday night. j
i On that day the sole occupant since i
prison officials decided to remove all I
prisoners not under sentence to die i
-on a definite date to the ordinary a
cell blocks, paid the penalty for his \
offense against the laws of the state.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Friday morn- t
ing, Frank M. Jeffords, one of the j
slayers of J. C. Arnette, his pArtner >1
in business, marched out of the cell t
?rVii/?V> Vio Viar? ncennierl since earlv T
last summer. At 10:17 o'clock he 1
sat in the chair of .death and at
10:20 the electric current that snuffed s
out his lif^ was turned on. The c
curren was gradually increased from
500 to 1.900 volts and four minutes
later attending physicians announced
that tho- state's claim against
Jeffords had been collected. Jeffords t
wife claimed his body.
Jeffords, according to prison #officials,
was one of the calmest men ^
v that ever went to the electric chair ?
in this state. He stood with his (
hands behind his back, his legs ^
spread slightly apart and leanng j
slightly forward, while Capt. Rob- j
erts, of the prison guard, read to ,
him the death warrant. Newspaper ^
correspondents, who with Capt. Rob- ^
erts were the only persons present (
in the cell when the warrant was r
read, stood wth bared heads. All '
felt the tensity of the situation. But ^
man mAof /?An/*OmO^ in
If^IiyiUO) VllC man iuvov wuvv???vm ? ^
the whole affair, showed not a trace
of emotion. (
"Have you anything to ays?" the
captain of the guard asked the con- t
denrned man.
"Nothing, sir, except that you see ^
that my grip is sent on," was the {
reply. He added that fys belongings y
were in his grip in the cell except
his Bible, which he said, would be
there when the prison officials came {
for the bag. i
Two letters in his pockets he asked
be turned over to his brother.
This was done without the contents
being made public.
Entering the chamber where his
execution was to take place, Jeffords '
again was the calmest person pres- 2
ent. IJe walked firmly and as he near- 2
ed greeted the two score witnesses 1
with cool "good morning gentlemen." ]
' Seated in the chair he said that he j
I wanted all to see in his execution 1
1 an example and that he was ready '
to go. Then he repeated, the Twenty- J
third Psalm and as he added the 2
word "Amen" the current was turned ^
on. 1
While Jeffords was being executed,
Ira Harrison, confessed slajrar of
Arnette and under sentence t<r die on
February 16, unless the supreme
court interferes, lay in a state of j
semi-consciousness in the prison hos- (
pital. Harrison has been in this condition
for more than two weeks. He <
was sentenced to die along with
Jeffords but an appeal to the supreme ]
court resulted in a stay of execution
and Governor Harvey reprieved him j
until February 16.

Less Fertilizer Used.
' The Columbia State says: Considerably
less fertilizer has been used
jy farmers in South Carolina this
pear than was used last year, acordmg
to figures on the fertilizer tag
ax collection from the office of Samael
T. Carter, state treasurer.
Through December of this year the
collection on the tax was $128,643.55
is compaged with $149,570.42* through
December of 1921. This giv^i a difference
of $20, 926.87 and at the rate
jf 25 cents tax a ton means approximately
84,000 tons less fertilizer used
this year than last.
"A comparison of the figures this
year with 1920 shows a big drop in
the use by farmers of the state. In
1920 the tax collections was approximately
$270,000 on
compared with $128,643.5^P^December
8 of this y?ar, a difference of
approximately $141,540. *This would
indicate that in 1920 approximately
564,000 more tons of fertilizer were
used than in 1920."

FIRE AT MANNING.
Several Buildings With Contents
Destroyed by Flames.
Manning, Dec. 26.?A disastrous
Sunday midnight fire ushered in the
Christmas anniversary in a most
spectacular maimer. The Thomas
livery Stables, located in the rear of
>ne of the most prominent business
docks of Manning, amj with the
tables crowded with horses and
nules, was completely destroyed b\
ire, also the office of W. G. King,
otton buyer, and a negro drug store.
The Western Union Telegraph ofice,
the Bank of Manning, the Man
ling Times office building and T. M.
dimmers' colonial residence were in
noximity to the fire. A total deitruction
of the block/ seemed inivitable,
but by the splendid activity
if the fire department and with ony
a light breeze the flames were
teld in sway to the protection of the
ront building.
There were about twenty-five
lorses and mules burned up in the
tails, approximately forty hogs, toother
with toAs of foodstuff and
orage. The floors of the stables
vere broken down and with poles
ind sticks men rushed in to drive out
he animals but no sooner were they
Iriveh out than they made a dash
iack into the burning building. Two
ine veteran horses belonging to the
own were among the horses that
nade a leap back into the stalls and
rere burned to a char.
The estimated loss from the fire
s $40,000, with an insurance of about
3,000. >
South Carolina Near the Bottom.
This state as a whole came very
tear the bottom of the list in the
>er capita record of Christmas bonds
.nd seals sold. Last year only one
eal was sold for every person in
he state and yet the death rate from
ubterculosis in South Carolina is very
ligh, 1,835 deaths resultling from
his disease last year. Surveys r$ently
made show that there are 8
o 10 cases of tuberculosis to every
leath from that disease. It is also
stimated that each death means an
conomic loss of $5,000.00 to South
Carolina.
Although New York has the highst
death rate from tuberculosis, this
tate also had the highest per capita
eco;d for the sale of Christmas seals.
The record last year was 7.4 seals
o every person.
In this state Richland county had
he largest number of seals bought
o its credit last year. Greenville,
Chester and Laurens comities came
ext in order. \
The largest number of deaths
rom tuberculosis reported from any
ne county in the state last year was
.78 from Greenville county, which
ncluded the figures from the Govrnment
Hospital. Charleston came
econd with 170 deaths reported,
tichland county had* 84 deaths exluding
those from state institutions.
The funds secured from the sa'
f Christmas bonds and seals furnish
he means for the fight against tuberulosis,
except for the legislative appropriation
for about 150 beds in th
tate. The sale this year is go'
letter than last Und encouraging re>orts
are coming into the state tu
erculosis headquarters from all over

From California to Florida on Foot.
Charles Greenleaf, carrying about
40 pounds 6f luggage,sand walking
from Los Angeles, California, to
Florida, arrived in Kingatree Thursday
afternoon and called at The
County Record office to pay his respects.
Greenleaf says that he is
making this hike for three reasons,
health, moving picture scouting and
lastly, material for a book which he
proposes to write. He is the picture
of health, strong, robust and ruddy
of complexion. He started on his
trip, which is being made entirely
on foot, in Mafch. On the hike the
young man claims to have encountered
rattle snakes, wolves,, bear, tarantulas,
mountain lions, escaping them
all without injury. He suffered his
greatest hardship in crossing the
great western desert because of the
scarcity of water. He is surprised,
he said, at the scarcity of men and
women suitable for movie actors and
actresses, having only located four
girls and one man of a type possessing
potentialities for development into
movie stars. "Everybody jumps
at the word, moving picture, yet it
is astonishing how few really possess
the inlying qualities to be brought
out into stardom. I always discourage
those without ability from going
to Hollywood and overcrowding
an already overcrowded market.
When I was in Hollywood there were
about 150 persons for every job, now,
there must be 300," he stated in
1 : TO... U llrn. tknilffhf U'pll

of Kingstreebut commented severely
upon the poor condition of South
Carolina's highways. He left here
that afternoon for Charleston.

Wilson Ends Law Partnership.
Woodrow WilSon's action in terminating
the law partnership which
has existed for the past two years
between him and his former secretary
of state, Bainbridge Colby, will
be sure to set a good many tongues
wagging, says the Roanoke Times.
Especially is this true on account oi
Mr. Colby's explanation that the
partnership has been dissolved because
of the former president's desire
to turn his "energies once more to
subjects which have long invited
him." In Washington circles this
statement will be constructed as tantamount
to an announcement that Mr.
Wilson proposes from this time on to
take an active part in politics, more
specially as regards the activities
within the Democratic party looking
to the selection of a standard bearer
in the 1924 presidential campaign.
