THE DECISION IN
WEINBERG CASE
-
Judge Speer's Decision
Says the Mortgage was
Invalid
DECISION FAyORS CREDITORS
Unusual Case Has Attracted consid,
erabIe Attention over the state
What Judge speer Says Of it
In His Decision.

| The case of the Chattanooga Brew
ing Company VS.. DevaFis 6 Weinberg
which has been in the courts for the
past several weeks, and which has at
tracted considerable attention, not on
ly in Brunswick, but in other sec
| tions of the state, owing to it being
of an unusually nature, has been decid-
ed by Judge speer, of the United Stat
es court in Macon.
1t was stated in these columns Sun
day morning that Judge Speer had re-
versed the decision rendered by Spec
ial Master Max Isaac, of this city, such
information being telegraphed to this
city by the clerk of the United States
court in Macon, but, according to
the following which appeared in the
Savannah Press of Monday. 1t seems
that the decision of the special master
was sustained and the United States
court has declared that the mortgages
held by the Chattanooga Brewing Com
pany Is invalid:
Judge speer's decision in the case
of Devaris & Weinberg, bankrupts OF
Brunswick. was received today by
Clerk johnson in the United States
court. The court held that the mort
gage OF the firm on its stock was in
valid.
The case is an unusual one. The
sole question involved was the inval-
idity of the mortgage, and the decis-
ion Ct Judge Speer is favorable to the
Savannah creditors, in that the prin-
cipad lien against the goods is diyest-
ed of it's priority. The mortgage was
given to the clerk Of the court in
Brunswick by Mr. .Devaris, who re-
quested him to withhold it from the
record for several days as he did not
want the people OF Brunswick to know
the price paid for the stock, which
was s3,400. The clerk put the mort
gage in the safe and forget it.
THE case was referred to spec
ial master, with directions to take
the evidence and report his findings.
The special master not only took the
evidence, but, in making his report,
gave his conclusions both as to the
law and the facts in the case. This
action came in for a passing criticism
by the court, who stated, however, that
las the order of appointment was rather
broad, the action OF the master was ex.
cusable. The court then found 1t nee
essary to review the entire case and
make its findings on the records and
the evidence

A Hard Fact.

''There are too many merchants who
sit around complaining that their fell
low townsmen send away for their
goods and do not trade at home, and
yet do nothing whatever to deserve
the local patronage. The home mer-
chant who thinks that people should
trade with him because Of local pride
alone, is making mistake. He must
make it to their advantage to trade
with him."
The foregoing paragraph Is . local
advertisement OF big Ossge firm in
last weeks Usage Press. This frm
had over 800 lines of local advertising
in the Press in addition to q full page
display add. The whole secret of get
ting and keeping home trade is told
in this paragraph and further exem-
plitied by this firm in keeping ever
lastingly at advertising. The fact
cannot be controverted that in the
matter Of saving few cents on an
article most people will go whore they
can get 1T the cheapest.
