Hundred and Two Years I A*o lie Kan Away and j Wan Branded an Fugitive; Later Returned President! OLD HOUSE STANDS And the Shear* He Used in t the Tailor's Shop Are J Now Preserved in the; Hall of History Sir Walter Hole!, RaleJuh. Juno; 16. ? Otre hundred and two yearn j ago tonight, a chubby, tow-head ed. freckled .ad of sixteen slipped out of Raleigh. under cQver of I darkness. In company of his broth jer snd two other companions, all In their teens and went to Laurens. South Carolina. That boy was Andrew Johnson, afterwards sue- 1 cessor to Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, during what Is termed the "Recon struction Period." He returned | two years later, only to accompany I his motheT and her second hus- J band, his stop-father, to Tennos- 1 see. The family located at Green ville. where Andrew's Journey up- | ward began. When Andrew Johnson. legally j bound out as an apprentice, to James J. Belby, ran away from Ra leigh, June 16. 1824, a price of 910 was placed on his head. In j other words, he was branded in an ( advertisement appearing In the i old Raleigh Star and Gssette of June 16, 1824, as a fugitive from j justice ? one who had played slacker in a moral and legal obll- ! gallon. There is no record, how ever, that anybody ever claimed the reward, as it appears that when he returned to Raleigh two years later, to accompany his fam ily to Tennessee, he did It of his own freo will and accord. nut the next time Johnson vis ited the elty of his birth in 1887. ilt wis aa President of the United 'States. Picture the scene ? throngs cheering the President ? "the President Is In town! ? the same fellow who as a tow-headed, freckled youth, aklpped out by night. I One of Andrew's three compan ions on the night he left Raleigh as a boy. was his brother, Wll Ham. described by Selby, when he advertised for them, as having j"dsrk complexion, hair, eyes and 'hsblts." The names of the other I I wo are nowhere prominently men tioned. They were "Just two ap 1 prentices," hound out under the j old system that went the way of negro slavery, free and unlimited rolnsge of liquor and other things (thst used to be tolerated. '< Relby. the tailor, to whom An drew Johnson was bound, wanted his brother. William, as well an , Andrew, but the wording of the advertisement, as It may be seen In the North Carolina hall of his tory, would Indicate that he val ued Andrew's services more, for he declared he would pay f 10 to anyone who would deliver them both to him, or "for the return of Andrew Johnson." The tailor, in his "ad.M de scribed how these lads were dressed. They wore, he said, light blue homespun, home-made coats snd new hats, with the name of the maker In the crowas. Now. Andrew Johnson #as not an Ingrate. that Is, he did not lack fills! affection. Although his father. Jacob Johnson, died In 1912. he erected a monument to hltn In 1887, while he was Presi dent snd evidently at the first op . portunlty to do so. The monument Is a simple granite affair, iocated In the west side of the old Raleigh Cemetery, and engraved on It Is the fact that Jacob Johnson's death was due to a disease which resulted from his successful ef forts to save a friend's life. Andrew Johnson's father was no piker. In the first place, he f*d been s soldier In the Revolutionary War snd hsd helped the colonies w|n their Independence; and the man whose life he saved was the publisher of the Raleigh Star, who Is quoted by Captain 8. A. Ashe, historian, as having said this: "Although for many years Jacob Johnson had occupied but an hum hie station, he was visited (In his last Illness I by the principal In habltsnts of the elty, by all of whom he was esteemed for his honesty, sobriety. Industry, and his humane, friendly disposition Among all by whom he was known and esteemed none lament ex cept perhaps his own relatives, more than the publisher of his pa per. for he owes his life on a par tlculsr occasion to tne kindness and humanity of Johnson.* That was wrlttaa In till, and In 1887 President Johnson hsd the eauss of his father's death ea grsved oa graalte.

I Nor will the effect of the two principle? bo felt particularly In leases like the Goltra. barge milt, i which wan unique. Rather In It 'likely that the first principle rc 'jftlng to the personal responHlbll jlfy of the individual who happens to be a Government official will be referred to t Inte and again In con nection with the aria of Federal officers attempting to onforcc the Volstead law. ! If a prohibition agent, for In stance. discover* liquor held illeg , ally and destroys the liquor sum marily Instead of taking It before I he court as required by section 2f? of the Volstead Act, the agent may be sued personally for his Illegal ! act. It already has been provided that If a prohibition agent exercis es his authority with undue aover Ity In execution of a search war rant he may be fined $1.000 or Im prisoned one year. On the other hand, an agent of the Government may use all the power necosnsry 'to execute a specifically author ised power. The point developed in t ho Su preme Court decision Just an nounced is that (lovernment offi cers must be careful not to act rashly In behalf of the (lovern ment. Mr. Goltra contended the boats were taken from him by Army of flcera without notice on the day of Hclsure. | "Neither they (the officers) nor the Government they represent," ways Chief Justice Taft who deliv ered the opinion, "could trespass on the property of another .and It Is well settled that I hey may he ftlayed In their unlawful proceed ing by a court of competent furls diction even though the United States for whom they may profess ' i# act Is not a party and cannot be made one.
