August 8 Hanaman's Day,

The supreme court on June 81 desig-
mated Friday. Aug. 6. next, to be OBJ
served and conducted as hangman's
day in Mississippi. Unless the execu-
tive arm is outstretched to stay the
work of the official executioners, five
men, In foul counties Of the state, will
go to the gallows. either within Jail en-
closures or in public, as the supervis
ors may elect.
The five men whose death sentences
were affirmed are j. Tabor, white, over
20 years Of age and a Confederate PEN
%sioner. OF Lafayette county, for the
murder Of his own daughter.
s. l.. johnson, a nomad, also white,
convicted Of the murder and robbery
Of Elston Brewer. an Arkansan, on the
latter's shanty boat near Vicksburg:
tried in Claiborne county on change
of venue.
The three negroes are Henry Seals
and Peter Bolen. tried and convicted
in Oktibbeha county on a murder
charge, and Runyon Walker, on the
same charge in Jefferson county.
Associate Justice Stevens handed
down the cases of Habor, Henry Seals
and Runyon Walker, holding that there
were no judicial errors or mitigating
circumstances in either. While there
was a natural disposition to sympa-
thize with the old man, verging ON to
four-score years, who ends his career
in the shadow OF the gallows, yet the
court could not find error in the rec,
ord, the state having fully proved its
case.

SOLDIERS PROTECT SLAT0N
Action Of Georgia Governor in Grant
ing Leo Frank Ciemeney Arouses
Ire Of MODS.

Atlanta, Ga.-With several hundred
men and boys clamoring to get into
his front gates. which had been barri-
caded by barbed wire entanglements,
and threatening to overpower the 20
county policemen. armed with riot
guns, Gov. Slaton called upon the mi
litia late June 81 to protect his home.
Upon arrival Of four companies of
state guardsmen, which had been held
under arms and rushed to the COVER
nor's country home in automobiles, he
proclaimed martial law in a district
extending half a mile in front Of his
home, half a mile back and for a dis
lance of about a quarter of a mile on
either side.
When the soldiers lined up with
fixed bayonets to dispense the crowd
stones, brick and bottles were thrown
at them. A brick struck Lieut.. Arnold
Parker In the stomach and rendered
unconscious for a short time. A bot
tie, thrown at Private W. W. Foope,
struck his gun and cut his hand. The
commanding officer, Maj. Catron, was
struck by a stone, as were several Of
the men.
The governor proclaimed martial
law at exactly II o'clock, and by mid
night the crowd had practically been
dispersed. There was no firing.
A telephone message from Milledee-
vile, where the state prison is locat-
ed, and where Leo NJ. Frank was taken
June 81, after Gov. Slaton had com
muted his death sentence to life i'm
prisonment, said that trouble was
feared there and asked that the gov.
ernor order out the Milledgeville com.
pany Of militia. The goeyrnor told his
informant that such a request would
have to come from the sheriff Of Bald
win county.
The governor was surrounded in his
home by about a dozen friends, nearly
every one Of whom was armed with a
rifle or pistol. The unexpected ar.
rival Of a member OF the family at a
dark corner of the front porch caused
the governor himself to hastily pick
up a large pistol.
In front Of the governors house
were more than 100 automobiles

Ancient Artisans In Africa.

The question has often been asked.
Was there any earlier a in occupa-
hon Of the arena in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that In the Kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work Of a people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana-
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art Of iron working. Mr.. Beech
with some amount Of pl~ausibility. sug-
gests that they were possibly bush
men. pygmies, or both. and that they
were a local Indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint implements
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art Of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
OF this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
arst discovery Of iron was made IN
Africa.
