convened by a circular issued by the Mar
quis de Apezteguia, leader of the Spanish
conservative party. The circular said the
conservatives expect and demand only JUS

The Marquis de Apezteguia presided at
the meeting, which began amid great ex-
citement among the two parties of con-
servatives; one party being In favor of
abstaining absolutely from the elections
because Its members have no faith i'm au-

inclining to assist at the election, but un-
willing TO accept any public positions. The
latter section sustains the Marquis de Ap-
ezteguia. The former Is led by Senor Por-
set, at one time governor of the Matanzas
province. Senor Porset accuses the Mar

resented by G. II. Miller, Esq, filed petit
ton in the superior court yesterday for
receiver for the Fort Argyle Brick and
Lumber Company, which was Incorporated
in Chatham county, and which has its
principle office in Savannah, though its
property is in Bryan county.
The company was Incorporated in 1890,
but has done no business since the death
of it's president, S. H. Provst, in 1888 or
1894. Since that time the stockholders
have had no meeting and nothing what

which consists of about 800 acres of land
in Bryan county with buildings and all the
necessary brick machinery. The plain
tiffs alleged that the property would go to
pieces and deteriorate in value unless
something was done for it, and on this ac-
count they asked for a receiver.

rected by the court to see that the prop
erty is kept in good condition until it can

here. Consequently it is to Savannah's
interest to foster the industry in every
way possible
A Savannah merchant. who
recently took trip through
Southwest Georgia, said he
found rather peculiar condition of
affairs there. The farmers, he said, were
in apparently the most prosperous con
dition they had ever known. Their barns
are filled to bursting with corn and oats,
their smokehouses filled with meat and
more on foot, and plenty of syrup and po-
tatoes, but no money, their cotton did not
sell for enough to pay the cost of produc-
ton, they say, and on account of the low
price of provisions they cannot sell their
corn and meat at anything like a paying
price. They have plenty to eat, but they
are not happy, because they have no mon
ely. Their cotton did not sell for enough
to pay their debts. and besides, they want
money with which to buy clothing and the
necessities and luxuries of life, which
they do not make at home.
