Atlanta, Ca, Oct IA sensa tional com
plexion was given to the Merchants Bank
failure to-day by the disclosure of the
fact that President j. H Porter, as far
back as January. 1895, was indebted to the
bank 100000. Deeds to certain property
set out to be worth $50, 900 were given by
President Porter TO the bank at that time
to secure this sum and these deeds have
just been filed for record, when the assign
ment IS made. Just what President Por-
ters indebtedness to the bank al this
important time is cannot be ascertained
It may be more than the $l06,000 admitted
in 1895, and il may be less. All the officials
refuse to make any statement concerning
it, pending the report of the assignees. who
are making an investigation of the assets
and liabilities
The charter of the bank prohibits any
loan to one party exceeding 10 per cent.
of the capital stock, which was 800, 600.
Part of the 900 went direct to President
Porter on his own notes and overdrafts,
while part was on notes of concerns in
which he was interested, these notes hav-
ing been discounted by the bank for him.
Among the creditors of the Merchants
Bank are the German Insurance Bank
of Louisville, Ky, S14. 900; the Third Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, 5000; National
Bank of the Republic, $925S; Fifth Ma
tional Bank Cincinnati. 5000; Continental

HEARD THURSDAY,

The Discrimination Alleged to Be in
Favor of Charleston and Port
RoyaI-The Secret Cutting AIleg-
ed TO Amount TO 30 Per Cent.-NO
Decision Yet Announced as TO the
Application of Rule 10 the
WrightsviIIe and TennfIle Road.
Atlanta. Ca, oct. 1.-THE state railroad
commission to-day heard the application
Of the citizens Of Dublin to have the
Wrightsviile and Tennue railroad put I'M
der the operation of rule l, which would
mean a general reduction of freight on
all classes. The application was based
upon the ground that the Central rail-
road owns a majority of the stock and
should, therefore, operate the Wrightsville
and Tenniue as a part of its regular sys-
TEN.
a. F. Dooiey. general counsel for the
Wrightsvilel and Tennille. appeared before
the commission in opposition to the appli-
cation, urging that if it was granted, the
road would be injured in its revenues,
an6 while the Central would not be great
ly affected, the minority stockholders
would suffer
President E. W. Perkins also opposed
the application, as did General Counsel
Lawton Of the Central.
The citizens Of Dublin were represented
by P. L. Wade, who insisted that even
at the reduction the legitimate STOCK
would pay a good dividend.
The commission reserved its decision.
The hearing of the application of the
Travellers Protective Association for
thousand mile mileage books, was con-
cuded to-day, but no ruling rendered by
the commission.
Next Thursday the commission will hear
complaints from Savannah and Ameri-
Gus against railroads in that territory for
alleged secret rebates on cotton by which
Savannah as a port is Disseminated
against in favor of Charleston and Port
Royal This secret rate cutting is alleged
10 amount to 30 per cent. and to defeat
it in future. Capt. D. G. Purse Of the
Savannah Freight Bureau, who files the
applications on behalf of that city. asks
that the commission order a general re-
duction of 30 per cent. on cotton from all
points in the state. The Georgia railroad
and the Albany and Northern are partic-
ularly complained of for the secret cut
ting Of rates.

BRUNSWICK ITEMS.
A Few Political Matters of General
and Special interest.

and Special Interest.
Brunswick, Ca, oct. 1.-THE Downing
Company have let the contract for the re-
building of their large brick warehouse
on the corner of Monk and Bay street
1t was destroyed by the big fire Of April
last and was an imposing two-story struc-
ture, 100 feet front and $50 feet in length.
Hon. J. w. Poppell of Wayne county
was in Brunswick last night on a short
business trip. He was a democratic can
didate for the legislature at the last cleo
ton and was defeated by 81 votes. He
explains this by the reason of fusion be-
tween the extreme silverites, republicans
and populists. In the congressional cleo
ton this condition of things will not exist
A carefully prepared table Of the Off
cial vote Of the counties comprising the
Eleventh congressional district fails to
confirm the claims made by the populists
that they have gained a great many votes
since the election of 1894 Basing the
count on Gov. Atkinsons majority alone
they have gained only Isl votes and this
is due to the strong personal fight made
against the party candidate. 1t in no
wise affords grounds for a safe estimate of
Mr. Brantleys majority for in his cleo
tion he will have the support of nearly
every man Of the populist party who an
tagonized Gov. Atkinson. This support
win be the result of personal regard felt
for him.
There will be oppositiodn to the building
of a new county court house for Glynn
Capt. L. Dart in a card published yester-
day afternoon, takes issue with the pro-
posal on the grounds that the tax payers
of Gylnn cannot at this time afford TO be
taxed more heavily for interest on bonds
1t will require the issuance of $3.50, 900 worth
of more bonds to build the court house
