Taxes From Germany
The Greenville News of Tuesday,
carried the following in its views
columns relative tp a Camden lady
which will be read with interest.
Sheriff C. A. Rector recently collected
taxes in Germany.
Joe W. Little, bookkeeper, at the
sheriff's office was surprised yester<lay
to receive in the morning mail
u large square letter with a strange
looking blue stamp and an exotic
-postage mark.
He was further surprised when,
upon opening the letter, he found a
check for $2.84 for payment of taxes
upon a lot at Lake Lanier by Mrs.
Sadie K. Von Tresekow, of Berlin,
Germ a ny.
One of the sheriff's forma) notices
of tuxes placed in execution, after
traveling around a good part of the
world, reached Mrs. Tresekow in Berlin
and she sent back her check and
the following letter:
"In reply to your letter of August
24, 1927, just received, 1 am enclosing
a check for $2.84 as asked
for taxes due in Glassy Mountain
township in 1920.
"Being 8,000 miles away ami not
having received your letter until two
months after 1 had written 1 could
scarcely pay it within ten days "
So the bookkeeper marked up the
woman's accounts as "paid in full"
as far as the sheriff's accounts
showed.

IMPEACHMENT 18 SOUGHT
' Would Ouat Governor For Alleged
Abuse of Authority
Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 24.?
I nveMigat ion by a njajcial session of
the legislature of charges against
the administration of Governor Henry
S. Johnston and several state dejmrtmenis
Will be demanded in a
petition to be placed on the governor's
desk tomorrow or Wednesday,
M. K. Sullivan, secretary to the chief
executive, said he had learned from
authentic sources tonight.
This development came swiftly
on the heels of an announcement today
from the governor's opponents
that there were 09 signers of the petition,
14 more than necessary to call
a special session. No additional
word came tonight from the camp of
the governor's political adversaries.
Several members of the Oklahoma
hoase have recently openly advocated
an attempt to impeach the
governor Tor alleged abuse of his
authority.
Sullivan said he had received reliable
information that while 69
members had signed the call, 27
would withdraw if the governor did
not approve it.
The governor hps received no information
as to the charges contained
in the petition, Sullivan said,
He understood, however, that the
opposing side seeks investigation of
six state departments.
"We do not fear a special session
when the petition is placed
before him, the members will meet at
their own call," said Thomas Knight,
an active leader in the movement for
a special session.
"I have been so busy running the
affairs of the state that I have had
little time to listen to politicians
'who are asking my impeachment,"
Governor Johnston declared.
"I do not intend to call the special
session, as my decision now
stands."
First Bid Made In Snyder Case
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 25.?Ruth Snyder
and Henry Judd Gray have
made their first bid for salvation
from the electric chair. Counsel for
the two appeared before the court of
appeals yesterday to argue for new
and separate trials for the murder of
Albert Snyder in Queen's Village
last spring.
Resting their case on the single
legal point that Mrs. Snyder's constitutional
rights were invaded when
she was denied separate trial upon
first being brought to justice, her
dounsel declared the trial was surrounded
with incidents peculiar to
stich spectacular affairs as prize
fights and circuses.
Counsel for Gray held his picture
up for the court to see, as a
helpless tool of Mrs. Snyder, who
had been prevented from freely
selecting a jury of his peers and for
whom it was found impossible to
obtain a jury wholly free from bias
and prejudice. Counsel also denied
that a motive for the crime had been
established. Decision on the appeal
is expected in six or seven weeks.
I Lottery Sends ^outh To Firing Squad
La Paz, Bolivia, Oct. 25.?In a
lottery to determine which of four
men should die for the murder ten
years ago of former President Joe
Manuel Pando, the youngest has
drawn a black ballot which sends him
before the firing squad.
Although four men were convicted
of the murder, Bolivian law permits
of the execution of only one,
no matter how many are implicated.
To determine which one should die
a drawing was held in the palace of
justice yesterday.
Fate decreed that the black ballot
should fall to Alfredo Jauregui,
who has spent ten of his 28 years
in prison. Ten prisoners at the drawing
seemed stoically indifferent to
their fate, in contrast to the tensity
and excitement of the spectators.
The first three men to draw drew
blanks. In the turn remained the
one which condemned its holder to
death. Jauregui reached in pulled
out the fatal black ballot and laughed.
He asked permission to speak
and he declared he was innocent, but
would not ask to be pardoned.
He wanted to be executed, he
said, so his blood would stain the
justice of the. same public which
protested th$ murder of General
- Pando. As soon as the verdict
became known several ' women
hurried to the 'presidential palace
, to ask a pardon'. The date of the execution
is yet to be set.
