SOUTHERN BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
Meeting of stOckhoIders-They want
fo Reorganize.

ATLANTA, GA, February 25-Four
hundred stockholders of the Southern
Mutual Building and Loan Association
met here to-day, to discuss the affairs
of that insolvent company NJ a.
OBryne of Savannah was elected chair
man. and W. H. Black, Of Atlanta, secre-
tary. w. c. Hale, the president OF the
company, was absent, and no one could
tell where he was.
The meeting lasted all day and until
10 O'Clock tonight. new board OF d.
rectors was elected and the meeting
voted to try TO get the temporary re-
ownership dismissed and reorganize the
association. The stockholders, who are
here from all over the South. want to
put an experienced building -and-loan man
in charge. and keep the concern running.
T. A. Anderson, the temporary receiver,
made a report, showing the liabilities to
be sl.3l3.3A
1t Is hard to approximate the assets.
r. NJ Farrar, the treasurer, is charged
with $4,000. but that sum is not tangible.
Farrar was cashier Of the Merchants
Bank. which failed last fall. The re-
serve fund OF s69 600 has not appeared In
evidence. Mortgages 90 the amount or
$4,000 were sent 10 the Iowa Life-lnsu-
rance Company, 10 secure IL lOdh MhtNN
President Hale hoped TO make, in order
TO tide over the associations financial
trouble. There was a lack Of informa-
ton on this point. and no one knew
whether the Iowa Life had ever advanced
anything on the mortgage or not. II. A.
Richard. the business partner OF Hale
said that he understood the mortgages
had been transferred, and still were the
nroperty of the association. Hale hoped
TO raise money on these mortgages ana
pay the Withdrawals. The mortgages were
~ he redeemed i'm ten years. Richard.
who represented Hale In the meeting
said that the association was not really
short more than $4,000, including the
funds In the hands Of the treasurer.
Application will be made to the bederai
Court here tomorrow for the appoint
ment Of a permanent receiver. A mes
sage was received from President Hale
during the day dated Baltimore, stauhs
that he would be here on Saturday.
