GEORGIA NEGRO FACING
DEATH 0$ THE GALLOWS
IN A VERY UNIQUE CASH

The Home Journal.,
Swalnsboro.—Emanuel county has a
most unusual criminal case. At the
spring term of superior court in 1921,
Seab Johnson, negro, was tried for
murdering his wife, and was sentenc-
ed to hang. The verdict was sus
tained by all the higher courts, and
the negro was again sentenced to
hang. The case was then carried to
the prison commission, which declin
ed to Interfere, and then to the gov
ernor, who likewise declined to, com
mute the sentence.
About an hour before the execu
tion was to take jplace, Governor
Hardwick telegraphed the sheriff
respiting the condemned man for thir
ty days on the strength of statements
by his attorney that they had newly
discovered evidence.
This evidence was finally present
ed to Governor Hardwick, who or
dered that the negro be tried at the
April term of Emanuel superior court
for the murder of a sister-in-law r who
was killed at the same time the wife
was killed, and if the jury recom
mended him in that case for life im
prisonment, Governor Hardwick .would
then commute the death sentence to
life Imprisonment. Judge Hardeman
called off the April term of superior
court and held court in some other
county. It was expected that the ne
gro would be tried at this term - of
court, but it is understood that Judge
Hardeman has made it known that
he does not intend trying a man for
murder who is at present sentenced
to hang.
Unless some other steps are taken
in behalf of the condemned ;man, it
is thought that the death sentence will
be executed on July 27, when tne
respite expires.
formed President 1 Harding that ho re
gards his decisions as final, and ap
pealable only to congress. He is will
ing to "consider’’ the views of inter
ested officials at all times, but the
opinion of none of them, he holds, is
controlling on his office.
The comptroller general’s "declara
tion of jurisdiction’’ came to light
In publication of a monthly ruling by
the general accounting office. The
statement bore directly on an opinion
handed down in May by the attorney
general’s office, construing portions
of the federal employees’ compensa
tion act contrary to a decision by the
comptroller general. Mr. McCarl in
dicated he would decline to approve
disbursement vouchers from the com
pensation commission despite the rul-
'ng of the justice department unless
the payments were in accordance
with the comptroller general’s view
3f tho law. ’
Earlier in the day Mrs, Besale P.
Brueggeman, chairman of the •- com-
mission, had announced that it would,
'pay cases dealing with occupational;
diseases as formerly,’’ Mr., McCarl
had held that such pawments were to
be made only in cases where injuries
were determinable in point of time
while the department of Justice had
igreed wjth the commission that such,
\ restriction was unnecessary.
The opinion of the attorney gen-
aral’s office was transmitted to Mr.:
McCarl late in May and he wrote the
president that to follow such a ruling,
"would result in the unauthorized ex
penditure of public funds on unlawful
vwards.”
NO BACK TAXES
American Merchant And Warships
1 Will Have Full Freedom As
Granted By Straits Pact
Lausanne. — The American and
Turkish experts reached an agree
ment whereby the Unite# States re
ceives the most favored nation treat
ment concerning the freedom of the
straits for merchantmen and warships.
The United States, without signing
the Btraits’ convention, will receive all
privileges. ■
: Also it will be restricted by all lim
itations composed by that convention,
which gives each signatory power the
right to maintain three warships not
exceeding 10,000 tons each, in the
straits. There is a substituting privi
lege that each po\$er may have as
many, ships there as are possessed by
any country bordering on the Black
Sea. This, of course, includes Russia,
which has decided to adhere to the
straits treaty.
The clause in the Turco-American
treaty covering these questions does
not go into details of the regulations
.code set forth in. the straits conven
tion, but refers to them in blanket
form.
: Another important matter agreed
Upon was that concerning the collec
tion of taxes on American companies
and American individuals resident in
Turkey, A declaration in the treaty
.will apply the-provisions contained in
the allies’ treaty. From May 15 of
this year Turkey engaged not to col
lect back taxes. If, however; any back,
taxes have been paid, Americans can
not claim a refund.
Another meeting of the experts will
!be held soon. Both Ismet Pabsa and
Joseph C. Grew probably will require
additional advices from Angora and
Washington, respectively, before they
are hble to conclude the unsettled
points, namely, assurances concerning
the protection of Christian popula
tions in Turkey and the .question of
claims for damages suffered by Amer
icans in Turkey during the war.
‘Maryland Towns Hit By Serious Flood
; Baltimore, Md.'—Cloudbursts and a
series of terrific'' thunderstorms,
sweeping the coast of western Mary
land, caused the Patapsco river to
bverflow its banks, sweeping bridges
bnd buildings before it, driving hun
dreds of families- from their homes
and causing damage that will run
into millions of dollars. So far us
known no lives were lost. Tho flood,
]put the act into operation.
: Some time during the* first weolc in
.’August, they trust, Wallace will offi-
ioially recognize various granariep as
government warehouses and thus en
able the twelve member banks of the
farm loan board to lend money on
wheat which is Btored in them.
The amount of money which will
be needed to tide the farmers over
has not been estimated by officials
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration here, but enforcement of the
loan act, they believe, will lead many
other banks to extend credit on the
farmers’ government warehouse cer
tificates. Terms of the government
loans will lend the farmer money on
up to 75 per cent of his wheat’s value,
at 5 1/2 per cent interest, the value to
be fixed by the price of wheat at the
: place where it is held.
; O. E. Bradfute, president of the Na
tional Farm Bureau Federation, sought
to make clear to newspaper men that
the government is not “assuming” the
amount of wheat involved, Business
loans will be made on the farmer's
collateral, which is wheat, Neither
Bradfute said, are the farmers trying
to corner the market, although the
.wheat-holding movement Just begun
may be expected to boost the price, v
. The farmers, Bradfute explains, are
merely borrowing from Peter to pay
.Paul, for It is tho demands of the
banks for payment of loans on their
crops which had put them In their
present hole. Tho price went down
when farmers were forced to unload,
their wheat all at once, at a time
when both Europe and America are
living from hand to mouth, insofar a?
.wheat is concerned. ’
This emergency was foreseen by the
farm bureau when It originally
fathered the farm loan act.

Too Many Rights Tanen From People
New York.—United States Senator
'James Couzens of Detroit, on tho eve
of his departure for Europe on the
Leviathan, gave his views on various
Issues, including an opinion that Unit
ed States Senator Hiram Johnson was
"unnecessarily alarmed" about the
world court. "I believe that wo should
vntor the court, with proper reserva
tions," he said, "not so much to help
Europe as to establish contacts. The
things that make for war will be elim
inated by contact rather than by long-
drawn-out judicial proceedings.” Too
many rights, he said, wero taken from
the people. .
