said TO BE the Cause.

city where for several years nave flour
ished six of the largest building and loan
associations in the country including the
Southern. the largest one in the world,
all put two have gone into receivers
hands within the past few days. The
supreme court OF Tennessee, at a recent
sitting in Knoxville, rendered an opinion
which was very adverse 10 the interests of
the associations. This caused hundreds
OF suits to be lied against them TO recov-
cover property and then came thousands
OF applications by stock and share
holders for liquidation.
The Southern WAS placed in the hands
Of temporary receivers. few days ago,
and at meeting OF tho stock holders yes
terdsy they asked that the receivers be
made permanent ana the business be
wound up The Savings Building aud
Loan Association was given receiver
yesterday and the Knoxville Covenant
