FIGHT ABOUT THE BOOKS.
THE DUBLIN AND WESTERN RE-
OWNERSHIP MIDDLE.

Treasurer Johns on R+fus o Turn over
the Company's Books and Papers I'm
til HeAriog Had on the Eth for a
Permanent Receiver-rhn Mater to
be Taken into the Courts ut Once
What Both Sides Say About the
Matter.
The Savannah, Dublin and Western
people do not take kindly to a receiver,
and are going to make fight on every
possible point to escape permanent re-
ceivership.
Yesterday Mr.. Sam II. Jemson, coun-
sci for Ferguson 81 Co., made positive
demand tor the company's books. Treas
urer johnson refused to hand them over
to the temporary receiver, Mr.. Cohen.
Mr. johnson and Mr.. JemisOn both got
mad. Mr.. Jemison said to a NEWS re-
porter that he was tired of fooling and
proposed to go ahead aud make Tre&s-
urer johnson give the books up, if there
are any books, and il there Is any law in
Georgia by which IL can be done.
Mr.. JEMIsoN TALKS.
"Mr. johnson might just as we'll have
told me whether or not he intended TO
comply with Judge Boynton's order the
hrst day l came down here" Mr.. Jemi-
son remarked.
81 have other business to look after,
and do not want to trlfie arguing the
case with Mr.. johnson. 1 will do that
before the court. He has employed ooun-
sci, and says that the order does not in
clude the books. They tried to point out
the difficulties in my way. That is my
lookout. Even il haven't any case at
all they ought not to be concerned for
me-"
TO APPLY FOR RULE NIsI.
What will your next move be?" Mr..
Jemison was asked.
81 will apply to Judge Boynton Mon
day morning" be replied, "for rule nisi,
returnable wherever and whenever he
pleases. 1t can be heard either in his
district or out of it. If the books are
all right | can't understand why MIR.
Johnson should refuse to turn them over
to the receiver. Mr.. Cohen is under $4,000
bond and is certainly entirely responsible.
To NEWS reporter MIR. johnson said
that his lawyer told him that there is
nothing in the order about turning over
the books. 1t is understood that the de-
PENDANTS will take the ground that 1t is
not obligatory upon them to turn over the
property until there has been prellmi-
nary hearing.
THE LINE OF DEFENSE.
1t is supposed that the defense will be
chiefly upon technical points
The defendants claim that Judge Boyn-
ton simply granted an injunction enjOin-
ing the directors from selling the road.
The prayer of the orators in reference
to the appointment of a permanent re-
ceiver asks that proper, discreet and
responsible person De appointed receiver
10 take charge of the Savannah, Dublin
and Western Company, us property and
franchises of every kind whatever, to
hold and to use the same, to receive and
10 preserve all the rents, issues, tolls and
profits arising from the same until the
final order OF the court.
The hearing on the rule nisi, il one is
granted, may take place in Savannah, but
there is no certainty that it will.

THE NEW HOTEL.

Mr.. Wood to Submit Plans and rs
Inmates to the Union Society.
A letter from Mr.. j. A. Wood, of New
York, who has been at work for several
months preparing plans for hotel in this
city, states that the plans are nearly COM
pleted. MIR. Wood thinks they are per-
feet and that the proposed structure will,
il erected, be the handsomest hotel in tue
South. He expects to have the specifca-
tons and estimates Of cost ready at the
time specified, namely, Oct. /, and
also frst-class hotel man to offer
as tenant. AS soon as Mr.. Wood
has everything completed he will
come TO Savannah and submit the
whole matter to the Board of Managers
of the Union Society. 1t the plans and
estimates meet the approval of that body,
and 1t is thought admissible for the soci.
ETY. TO undertake the building of a hotel
on the Pavalioc Hotel site, it is probable
that the work will be begun with AS little
delay as possible.

An Athens special says that the NJ. and
A. railroad is already located to Shady
Dale, in Morgan county, and hands are
grading it. The line has been run from
that point, and In thirty days grading
stakes Will be put down, after which the
work will begin at once. BY Christmas
one will be able 10 take ride from Ath-
ems TO Macon on the new road.
The railroad from Union Point is beng
pushed through at rapid rate. The con-
tractors have about 100 hands at work
grading, and if nothing happens, the road
will be completed in sixty days. The
contract has been given out for crOssties,
and everything is moving along smoothly.
This little road will be a great Georgia
road, and great deal of the trade will
come to Athens.
