A large percent of this property can
not be identified. Among the collec-

TWO RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
FOR SOUTHERN HOME BUILDING
AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.

Institution in Atlanta which Did
business All the Way From Texas
TO virginia - Reccivership Was
Granted in the United States Cir
cult Court by Judge Pardee-The
Amount involved Is in the Neigh
borhood of $I,OOO,OO0.
Atlanta, April 4.-Judge Don A. Pardee,
of the United States Circuit Court has ap-
pointed Judge John T. Pendleton and WI
liam II. Henderson receivers Of the South
ern Home Building and Loan Association
of Atlanta.
The answer of the defendant associa-
ton which was filed at the same time as
the bill admits the allegations of the
plaintiff and states that the association
cannot longer continue a profitable bust
ness and 10 further continue would be 20
the disadvantage of the shareholders.
The compliments in the bill are: Mrs.
NJ. c. Alexander, resident of Tennessee,
and owner of thirty-two shares of the as
sociation stock, with a value of $500; w.
s Bradley of Virginia, owner of zen
shares stock, valued at $3.50, and A. 7.
Spalding of Texas, owner of two shares,
valued a $500.
The principal cause of the liquidation of
the affairs of the corporation as stated
in the bill is excessive taxes, state, coun-
~ and municipal, which. according TO re-
cent Supreme Court decisions, have been
assessed against the company, and the
numerous other decisions in 'other states
than Georgia, which affect the business
of the concern, especially in the way OF
loans. many of which are adjudged us
urious.
The proceedings were taken by mutual
consent 10 end litigation, which has been
proceeding for some time, and it is eX-
pected the receivers will close up the al
fairs of the concern at once. The amount
involved is believed to be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000
The company has many shareholders in
the Southern states and its loans and other
transactions extend from Texas TO Nir-
ginia.
The closing of the affairs of the company
will affect vast interests in some local.
Ties The bill which has been filed will
be followed by others in the states where
the association operated and is likely that
the court, as soon as the receivers begin
work will appoint co-receivers for each
of the states where the corporation has
assets. The principal cause Of the -liquida-
ton Is the excessive taxes. state, county
and municipal, which. according to recent
Supreme Court decisions, have been as
sessed against the company.

DEATH of MIR. w. II. LOWE.
Was the Last of the Former state
Convict Lessees.

Convict Lessees.
Atlanta, April 4.-Mr. w. B. Lowe died
in this city this afternoon. He was the
last of the original lessees of the state
convicts under the twenty-year lease that
expired with the Inauguration of the pres
ent convict system. Among the other
lessees were the late Gov. Brown, Ben
Lockett and others, all of whom are now
dead.
The lessees then contra cted to take all
the convicts, many or few, for $4,000 per
year. During the first year of the lease
the lessees had only about 450 convicts,
but it was nearly 1000 during che last
year. Under the old lease the state re-
ceived 50 per head per year for her con-
victs, while under the present manage
ment she gets 500 per head.
Mr.. Lowe was perhaps personally known
to almost every legislator during the ten
ure of the twenty years lease, as he was
quite often put upon the rack for some
attraction of the rules governing the
keeping of the convicts or permitting his
subordinates TO make these infractions
During Gov. Gordon's administration the
lessees were fined each 5000 for permit
ting cruelties by guards to the convicte.
Mr.. Lowe is regarded as a very wealthy
man

O'Brien's resignation is not accepted in

of Collector Tolbert and Deputy Osten-
