tl* motion to Indefinitely postpone the
measure resulted In the opponents of
the bill being lgnomlniously defeated

of class legislation, that It would oper
ate In favnr of the planter with a large
crop in warehouses, and against the
small farmer \vho has not enough cot

place the burden upon the small farm

DECISION IH TAX
ON GEORGIA 0.0.
! Judge Newman Rules Against
I State Comptroller In L. & N.
; and A. C. L. Case as Lessees.
Atlanta, Ga.—Judge Newman, of
'the Fnited States court. Thursday
| rendered a decision in the case of
the Louisville and Nashville, and the
Atlantic Coast Line railroads against
■ the state comptroller general to re
! strain him from subjecting the prop
erty of the Georgia railroad, leased
by the two systems, to an ad valorem
tax.
The court held that the ad valorem
tax could only be applied to :he
property of the Atlanta Terminal
Company and not to the remainder
of the Georgia railroad property. The
latter, the court ruled, would come
under the original Georgia Rallnud
charter exemption, in spite of the
fact that it is controlled by the les
sees.
By the decision the states loses the
tax income on property valued at
$9,500,000, unless the United States
court of appeals reverses the decis
ion. Counsel for the state gave no
tice of an appeal.

DR. fiiIUGHTON
RECOVERS NERVE
i
Will Again Go Back to U. S.
Supreme Court In Plea For
His Life.
Savannah. Ga.— Although Dr. T J.
McNaughton, the Emanuel county
physician, convicted of slaying Fred
Flanders by the adinlnistratio’n of
strychnine, has been denied a new
trial by the supreme court of Geor
gia, he ha s not yet given up Xfc fight
for life.
It is now stated that an effort will
be made to get his case before the
United States supreme court. If this
is done it will mean a delay of sev
eral months, even if his petition is
turned dow'n at Washington.
The next move in the McNaughton
case will be his being taken to
fe’w-ainsboro for resentencing. As
soon as this is done there will be
given notice of the appeal to the
federal court and this will act as a
stay and prevent the execution upon
the date set.
Dr. McNaughton’s case has been to
the federal court once, but the point
raised was never argued, the case
being withdrawn pending the determ
ination of an extraordinary motion
for a new trial filed in the Georgia
courts. This having failed, Dr. Mc-
Naughton can now go back to Uncle
Sam with a plea to save his life.
This has been the hardest fought
case of its kind that South Georgia
has seen in a long time.
Dr. McNaughton, although he gave
slight evidence of having lost his
nerve when the supreme court de
cided against him last week, has re
covered his composure and is ready
to give his attorneys all the assist
ance he can toward getting the fed
eral courts to assume jurisdiction in
the case.
