New York.-The present plan OF the
Anglo-French Financial Commission,
it was reported, is to borrow $1,000.
100000 in the United States on
straight British and French Govern.
ment bonds without collateral.
If this vast sum is obtained, it was
said, it is to be spent to the las. cent
in the United States in payment for
wheat, cotton, meat and other COM
modify shipments, including war mu-
nitions. 1t will therefore, financial
authorities say, be classed as COM
mercial loan.
Whether the neutrality of the
United States would be questioned in
case the bankers financing the loan
accept straight British and French
Government notes as security, has
been given serious consideration. 1t
was said the financiers familiar with
the plan have every reason to believe
Washington will not interfere.
Members of the commission would
not confirm these reports as to their
plans, but the scores of prominent
bankers from New York and other
chief cities who have visited the com.
mission here were positive the details
as outlined were substantially correct.
All that the commission cared to pub.

duties of F. G. Tarbox, Jr., who
has just begu IL work in the g X

Mr.. Tarbox, who is a graduate

ing 36, $3.50 bushels, or 1S 9
bushes, per acre. Wisconsin,
In the same year planted 1875,
600 acres, producing 69,S62, ,OOU
bushels, or 4O.5 bushels per acre.
Although South Carolina plant
ed 100000 acres more than did
Wisconsin, the latter state made
33, 1924, 900 bushels more corn-al-
most twice as much as this state.
These figures indicate that there
IS great room for improvement
in South Carolina's corn yield.
That very careful attention

of corn seed is the statement of

Brown of Van derbilt university Nashville He dis coursed on freedom and education, their relations and correlations and the develop ment of character as dependent on them.
 Although hard to define,' he declared, yet freedom is the power of self-expres- sion and education the process whereby is attained self-realization. Worthless this freedom without something to express worthless the self-realzation without free dom to express 1t. Personality must be developed and education into freedom. and for freedom continue beyond the col lege walls or schooling has been wasted. Man must think and act for himself along original lines, become himself an author ity to realize the goal of educational free dom. He must outgrow his earlier limits end leave his outgrow1 shell by lifes un- resting sea
 Other features of the day were the ora torical contest for the society medal, contestants being W. M. Hinton of Pratt vile, H. l. Savage of Camden and F.. H. McGehee of Mobile.

AGAINST
 COMPUTATION OF
 FRANKS. SENTENCE

Atlanta, June 1.-The Georgia prison commission granted hearing today to delegation of Cobb county citizens. who presented a protest formulated at mass meeting in Marietta last night against Leo M. Franks application for commit tation of sentence from death to life i'm prisonment. Mary Phagan, for whose murder Frank was convicted, formerly lived in Cobb county.
 Spokesmen of the delegation in support of their protest declared they represented almost the entire population of Cobo county. We believe in the enforcement. of the law in his case" they declared. 'and we believe the evidence shows Frank guilty. The jury and the courts have said so. If Frank is not guilty he should be set free; if he is guilty he should be hanged" They asserted the courts have held the prisoner had a fai- trial.
 Fred Morris one of the speakers. said; There is no ground in this case on which to ask a communication of sentence
 T. E. Patterson, member of the com mission interrupted the speaker Judge Roan, in his letter, said he had doubts of Frank s guilt said Mir Patterson III thought man ought not to be hanged unless the jury, the judge and the gov ernor were satisfied of the mans guilt and Judge Roan was not satisfied"
 Judge Roan in his letter did not ex- press anything not stated before" replied MT. Morris
 Yes, he did," said Commissioner Pat terson. " He expressed a doubt as to his own action in refusing Frank a new trial. Previously his doubt was as to the cor rectness of the jurys verdict. In another case before this board there was not d req sonable doubt but only an element If doubt. So we recommended commuta- ton.'
 Among other speakers for the protest were Herbert Clay. solicitor general of the Blue Ridge circuit. and John T Dorsey, state representatve-elect. Sev- eral bankers and county officials were in the delegation.
