THIS DECISION Is IMPORTANT
It Settles the Matter of Mortgages
Not Recorded

It Settles the Matter of Mortgages
Not Recorded,
Macon, Ga. Oct. 23.-The United
States Court had rendereda decision re-
fusing the appeal of the Exchange Bank
of Macon in the bankruptcy case of 81.
mon Josephson of Macon. This is the
famous case in which the question twas
raised as to the right of the Macon
bank to keep mortgage unrecorded
and finally enforce it against subse-
quent creditors who had been through
all of the ''mills of the gods"
The case was started in the bank
ruptcy court of Macon before the
referee. From there 1t was appealed
to Judge Emory Speer, who decided
in favor of the bank. The other credi-
tors next appealed the case to the
United States circuit court of appeals
at New Orleans. In this court Judge
Speer was reversed.
The bank was dissatisfied with the
reversal and garfield the case to the
supreme court of the United States at
Washington, D. @
In this court the case was. argued by
briefs on the 18th instant, the bank be-
ing represented by Hall & Vim berly
and Bacon & Miller. The trustees of
the creditors were represented by Hon.
Fred @. Foster, of Madison, and Hon
FL. @. Cohen, of this city. Yesterday 3
decision was quite victory for Foster
& Cohen. This ends the case, as the
supreme court was the last resort.
1t declares the mortgage in the case
void because it was no. recorded by
bank. The amounl involved in the case
was about $4,000, which has been held
up by the bank since the case started,
something over four years ago.

Col. G. B. Whatley Iectured in Amer
icus last night upon .'The Old and the
New South" q subject which should
have been of interest to every patriotic
citizen of this community. There were
probably dozen people in the house,
among them three Confederate vete
rams. The Times-Recorder does mot
know who invited this gentleman to
come here, but states without hesita-
ton that unless lecturers are given
q more respectful hearing that itwould
be better for the city of Americas .at
large to refrain in future from allow
ing gentlemen from abroad to come
into our midst and be turned down as
was Col, Whatley last evening. The
lecture was interesting, and the Times
Recordercommends it to the people--of

NERVOUS exhaustion and liver trouble so
affected my wife's health that she was greatly
run down; neuralgia of the heart set in and
for long time she was very close to the bor
der line of life and death. She was attended
by two good physicians, who did all they
could for her, but in spite OF everything she
grew worse right along. One day saw an
advertisement of DR.. Miles Nervine and
New Heart Cure, and the doctors explana-
ton of the effects of nervous trouble upon
the heart seemed so logical that decided to
give the remedies a trial. We now know
that the stomach and liver troubles were part
of the heart weakness She improved won
derfuly at once Her appetite picked up,
she slept well at night and the pain around
her heart rapidly disappeared. Thanks to DR..
Miles Heart Cure in a few weeks she was
able to be up and attend to her household
duties, and in few months every sign of
nervous and heart trouble had vanished"

GENERAL NEWS.

The town OF Littleton suffered panic
Saturday by reason of forest fire on
Mt. Eustis, which directly overshadows
the town, and on which is located a
powder house. The 6remen, at the risk
oil their lives, arrived on the mountain
just in time to prevent disastrous ex-
plosion. AS there are dwellings at the
base of the mountain the effects of such a
disaster, had it occurred, cannot be esti-
mated. There was also a forest fire near
the Breezy Hill House, an important
summer resort two miles from Lisbon.
Although some alarm was felt for the
safety OF the house, no damage was done.
