AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA - An attorney for soul singer James Brown thinks he can stop the sale of Brown&#39;s $400,000 home and the more than 60 acres of land in Beech Island where it is located. <br> <br> Brown has ten days to repay a debt of more than $900,000 for a building he bought in downtown Augusta. <br> <br> SouthTrust Bank, which loaned Brown the money for the purchase, can move to have his property sold unless the debt is paid. <br> <br> The bank won a lawsuit in Richmond County, Georgia, and sued in Aiken County in August seeking the residence and land to help repay the loan. <br> <br> Brown owes SouthTrust $754,544.34. Interest and attorney&#39;s fees make up the rest of the $914,161.13 cents debt, according to court records in Aiken, South Carolina. <br> <br> Brown can stop the process at any point by selling the building for the same amount as the debt. <br> <br> His attorney, Albert Dallas, couldn&#39;t say Wednesday whether a deal would be reached within that time.
