SALE OF GEORGIA SOUTHERN.
The Hearing of the Petition of the
Bondholders Again Postponed.

The Hearing of the Petition of the
Bondholders Again Postponed.
Macon, Ga, July 1.-THE hearing of
the petition of the bondholders of the
Georgia, Southern and Florida
Railroad came up this morning
before Judge c. G. Smith, of the Oconee
circuit, and was postponed to Tuesday,
July 25, at 8 a. m. All the counsel in the
case were present at the opening of the
court except Hon. A. o. Bacon, who has
been called to New York on matters con-
nected with the Central Railroad
After the jury was sworn in, Judge
Clifford Anderson, representing the Ma
con Construction Company, asked for a
postponement of the case, urging particu-
larly that no hearing be given until the
next term. He gave as his reasons pri-
marily his own feeble state of
health, and also the brief notice
given by the petitioner He thought the
report of the special master arbitrating
and that claims should first be brought
in. He was opposed by Burton Smith of
Atlanta and Mr.. Venable of Baltimore.
The court decided that there was no rea-
son why the case should not be heard at
this term.
THE NEW PLAN.
The plan of the bondholders' reorgani-
cation committee, as given to the News
correspondent, is to issue g, 500, 900 of
new bonds, to cover the old issue of 80
10000, and incidental expenses. Also.
$3.50, 900 of first income bonds, to go to the
Georgia Southern; $4,000 of second in
come bonds, half of which is to go to the
Macon and Birmingham road, and S4 900
600 of common stock, $500, 900 of which
goes to the Macon and Birming-
ham and Macon Construction Com
pany, The opposition claims that the
bOndhOlders are pushing the road to a
sale at this time to secure it at the value
of the bonds and that all other creditors
will be left out in the cold They think
the road is worth more and that the un-
secured creditors and junior holders of
securities can get a share of the price
paid. When the case does come up, the
fight will be hot and strong.

Imitators And Impostors.

The nequallcd success of ALLCocK's
PoRoUs PLAsrEBs as an external remedy
has induced INSCRIPTIONS parties to offer
limitations, which they endeavor to sell on
the reputation OF ALLCOCK's. 1t is an
absurdity TO speak of them in the same
category as the genuine porous plaster
Their pretensious are uutounded, their
Wanted merit unsupported by facts, their
alleged superiority TO or equality with
ALLCOCK's a false pretense.
The ablcst medical practitioners and
chemists and thousands of grateful pa
rients unite in declaring ALLCoCK's PO-
ROUs PLASTEKs the best external remedy
ever produced
