LAWS AGAINST CAPITAL.
A Business Mans Views of the Effect
of Protective LegislatiOn-The Naval
Gfrroo Ennfruce TgfII

a Business Mans Views of the Effect
of Protective LegislatiOn-The Naval
Stores Contract Bill.
A bill was recently introduced in the
Legislature to amend section 1898 of the
Code, which has attracted some attention
here. Section 1898 is designed to protect
growers of cotton. corn, rice, ETC., IN the
matter Of business transactions, whlch
allows the owner to claim the property as
his until il shall have been fully paid Tor,
and the amendment increases the scope OF
the provision to include crude turpentlne,
spirits turpentine, rOsin, pitch ana TAR.
which il specially names The wording OF
the act is that any of the articles named,
sssOld by planter or commission merchants
on cash sale. shall not be considered as
the property of the buyer, or the owner
ship given up until the same shall be
fully paid for. although it may have been
delivered into the possession OF the
buver."
'The amendment" said a prominent
business man yesterday, sis simply an
other move to protect the producer at the
expense of the banks or capitalists who
are called upon 10 loan money to assist
in moving the crops. Under the law the
only thing standing between loss and
money so advanced IS the personal nOn'
esty Of the commission merchant or other
party who negOtiates the transaction. On
the strength of a warehouse receipt, or d
ships bill of ladiug, a commission mer'
chant comes 10 US, and we advance hin
so much money. If it should happen thai
he desired to defraud, as has been done
we lose the money, because the planter
not having been paid for the cotton, Oh
whatever article the property may be, car
claim it, and we have no security. Bust
ness negotiations of this kind are very
largely conducted IN naval stores, and the
effect of the amendment is simply Il
make the law more sweeping anC
binding, particularly with reference
to naval stores, as it now is witt
reference to cotton, corn and rice. 1t II
legislation directly against capital, bu
the banks cannot complain, or even more
| obnoxious laws would be passed as {

TIE STATE RAILROAD.

It's Immediate sale not Probable
What President RaOuI Says About 1t.
The proposed sale of the State railroad
is a matter Of some debate. The bill now
pending in the General Assembly to that
effect was introduced in the Lower House
by Mr.. McLendOn, of Thomas county.
The road is what is known as the West
ern and Atlantic, running from Atlanta
10 Chattanooga, a distance of l3S miles,
and is now under lease which has about
six years yet TO run.
A NEWS reporter called upon President
RaOul. of the Central, with an inquiry as
to the probability OF the road being sold.
81 don't think there is any probability
of its being sOld,'' was the reply. "ln
the first place the General Assembly will
not agree to its sale; in the next place
they will not be likely to agree upon a
minimum price, and in the third place if
they should, it would not be very likely
that any road to whom the purchase
would be a desirable acquisition, would
be willing to pay the amount asked"

THE JANUARY ELECTIONS.
The Tax Qualification of Voters an
the Provision of the Constitution.

The Tax Qualification of Voters and
the Provision of the Constitution.
Citizens who wish to vote at the JAN
uary elections are Fastening to pay their
taxes for 1854. The Office of Capt. Nc
Gowan, Tax Collector, is a busy place.
About two weeks ago the ACCESSIBILITY of
those who are already registered, making
the payment was suggested in the NEWS.
The constitution of the State prescribes
that 'nO person shall vote who. If chal-
lenged, shall refuse to take the fol-
lowing oath or affirmation: L
do sOlemnly swear, or affirm, that l am
p years of age, have resided in this State
one year, and in the county six months,
next preceding this election. l have paid
all taxes which, since the adoption of the
present constitution of this State, have
been required of me previous to this year,
and which have had an opportunity to
pay, and I have not voted at this cleo
ton" In view of the foregoing it is gen.
orally regarded as questionable whether
the managers of the election have the au-
thOrity to say or decide that persons who
are registered shall vote without having
paid their taxes.

TaE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
What is Being Done in the Way of Sales
and Building.

What is Being Done in the Way of Sales
and Building.
4 NEWS reporter called on some of the
dealers in real estate yesterday for the
purpose of learning whether there was
any marked degree of activity in the real
estate market. The general expression of
opinion was that there is at present no
particular demand for building lots, and
that it was probable that there would
not be much done in that line
until after the holidays, and perhaps
not until spring. The reason for the
inactivity was explained to be due to the
general scarcity of money. Up to about
two months ago there was quite demand
for vacant lots from parties desiring to
erect residences. This, OF course, is a
benefit to the lots that are unsOld, and
holders believing that better prices will
be offered in the spring are not anxious to
sell at this time. The majority of the new
buildings which have been completed or
commenced during the past two
months are located in the southern
portion Of the city. The Stubs warehouse
property, where the great Yamacraw fire
originated a little over year ago, has
been divided up into building lots facing
north or south upon Joachim, or rather
Bay street. which was opened not long
ago through the warehouse site to the
Ogeechee canal. Four of these lots, two
on the north and two on the south side OF
the extended st. eet, were sold few days
ago, and it is understood that the pur-
chaser is about to erect six twO-story resi-
dences, which will not only be an Orna-
ment to that portion of the city, but will
enhance the value of real estate in the vi

THE BRUNSWICK AND WESTERN.


A Defect in Titles Causes a Hitch in the
Plant Investment COmpany's Pur-
chase.
The statement has been recently made
that there is a serious hitch in the con-
summation of the purchase of the Bruins
wick and Western Railroad by the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western interest. 1t
is to the effect that the title has been
found defective by the Plant Investment
Company. and that the Selgmans.
through whom the road was sold, were
asked to guarantee the titles at the time,
but declined to do so, promising, how
ever, to send an agent to Germany and
have the Objectionable features removed.
This, the report goes on to say, has not
been accomplished, and the sale has been
frustrated. The Columbus ERquireT-Sua
says:
''The cOloring of truth is given to all
the rumOrs in regard to it by the fact that
the new management of the Brunswick
and Western, as organized under the al
legged change of ownership, has never
taken charge of the road or assumed con-
troll of its operations. According to the
Brunswick dispatch the Frankfort CON-
IntJJec. IOgebueI VIII CSItdlu pdILleS d
Albany, will now take possession of the
road again. We see nothing in this, by
the way, which indicates an extension in
| this direction

| the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way, was shown a newspaper clipping
| containing the above, by reporter OF the
| NEWS yesterday, and asked as to the truth
| of the reports. He said that it was sub
| stantially true. The title to the property
| had not been made good, and the new
| owners were not willing to take charge OF
the road, put it in good condition, lay
| steel rails and run their Western traffic
/ over it until they were assured that they
would be protected against expensive

titles is a very complicated one. There

Judge Adams Clears the Galleries of
Hangers-on and LOafers.
During the sitting of the Superior Court
yesterday, James Williams and Aleck
Coleman, two negro lads, were discovered
lOuhging and apparently asleep in the
gallery. Sheriff Roman sent an officer
who brought them before Judge Adams,
and they were each sentenced to pay a
fine OF 81, or be imprisoned three days.
The Judge, in passing sentence, re-
minded the prisoners that he had given
the occupants OF the gallery notice that
yagrants or lOungers would not be per-
mitted to attend the court day after day,
as it was not the place for them. The
boys pleaded that they were merely rest
ing their chins on the gallery rail and
were looking down upon the court. and
had not been asleep. Late in the after
noon the offenders paid the fine and were
discharged from custody.
