Lawyer Points Out Code Section Prohibiting Cities
Restricting Farmers Disposing Of Their y

That the city council, in attempt

from selling their own meat inside
the city have bene doing something
they had no right to do under the
Georgia law has been brought to the
attention of the Times Recorder by
we'll known Americus lawyer, who
prefers from modesty not have his
name mentioned. He cites the Geor-

prescribing that no municipality shall
assess any tax against farmer for
selling his own farm products with

strued by cited Supreme court decis-
ions to Include not only meat TO mean
that the city council cannot restrict
in anv manner whatsoever the sal"
of meat in the city, by farmers rails
ing it, as has been asked by the
butchers and as was done last Thurs
day. 1t is said, however, that the
law does not prohibit the council from
enacting regulations such as imposing
sanitary measures, etc.
This is the first time il has been
called to the attention of the council
that such d law exists, although it
has long been in the code.

NEGRO REFUGEE
lNCANADA SEEKS
SAFETY FROM Us
Hard Fight Made By Members VI
His Race To Prevent Return
To North Carolina

HAMILTON, Ont, 18.-MattheW
puIlock. the negro whose deporta-
Hop to North Carolina is sought on
tho charge of hitting to roit, will
annear today before inspectors OF the
Canidian immigration department for
Questioning in regard to his alleged
illegal entrance into Canada. The
public wi be excluded.
It is said there are ample funds
to fight his case.
In delving into the ancient court
records, the Canadian barristers have
found at least one historical near
parallel to the Bullock case--that of
an American negro save, one Ander-
son. whose extradition was demanded
in 1862 on the ground that he had
slain his master, an Ohioan, named
Digges.
Bullock's cause is being pleaded by
Canadian members of his own race
and by public officials who demand
that the negro be given every ad-
vantage OF the immigration laws and
the international courts in order that
Canada may continue his haven from
North Carolina authorities. Ander-
sons case was pleaded by Abraham
Lincoln, then president of the United
States, and by British abolitionists,
who based their defense of the negro
on the ground that "no slaves can
remain one when he touches British
soil"
In 1862 American authorities de-
manded Anderson's extradition on
the ground that he escaped fFom
bondage in Ohio, and when about ito
be recaptured, had murdered his mas
ter, Digges.
When the negro was caught in
Canada, the old Fugitive slave law"
still was in effect. But the ashes of
the British abolition agitation were
still hot, and sentiment in favor of
the negro's calm to Canada. as a
haven of refuge ran strong
Then President incoln signed the
emancipation proclamation striking
off the shackles of all American
slaves. But, although it strengthened
British sentiment in favor of Ander-
son, President Lincoln's act did not
affect the Ashburton treaty of 1912,
under which Great Britain, inluding
Ganala, agreed with the United
States to surrender reciprocally all
persons charged with grave non-pol-
itical offenses. Tt was under thsi
treaty that American officials press
ed their demands for Anderson's ex-
tradition.
Preliminary trial of Anderson was
held at Toronto. Two of the three
justices decided against him and
eventually the trial was carried to
England on an appeal.
Here the abolitionists stepped in
with their plea that mo slave remains
one when he touches British soil''
and Anderson was set free.
Canadian officials do not believe
that the Anderson case will govern
the outcome of the proceedings
against Bullock, although they point
to 1t as another notable instance
where all the resources of British
law, combined with wave of public
sentiment, were invoked by the spec
tacle of an American negro seeking
maven in the land across the border

Ford Topmast Snaps at Once
The shift. began to tell. The wind
was good twenty knots, and there was
masthead work for three men Of each

badly and her topmast seemed to be
standing taut against the wind. The
challenger was the first to take in her
sfaysail. and a, few minutes later, Just

serving the Ford's shortened canvas,
reduced his own trim accordingly. The
Canadian took down his foretopsail and
clewed his ballooner down on the horn,
putting the vessel again on even terms.
1t was not only nice courtesy but
smart piece of figuring, for under her
