Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-05-02

Macon, April IA decision
by Judge Emory Speer this af-
ternoon in the bankruptcy case
of the Allison Lumber Co., of
Fitzgerald, Ga, puts Editor
j. E. Mercer, of the Fitzgerald
Enterprise, about $4,000 to the
bad. He had used his own cash
in running the mills after he had
been appointed receiver, in the
hope of bringing them out of
debt, but the project failed and
there is not dollar for the cred
itors. The mills, worth $4,000,
created expenses which called
for the receivers surplus cash"
The above special in Sundays
Albany Herald is slightly mis-
leading. There was considerable
money for the creditors. The
money we lost was put in timber
and improvements of the plant
necessary for its successful
operation. After about five
weeks of actual operation it be-
came apparent that the matter
would be taken out of the state
courts or transferred to the U. S.
court and the operation of the
mill was suspended pending
the action of the court. We in
Cured a large expense main
tanning and caring for the prop
erty, which included twenty odd
mules, for about five onths, all
of which expense is denied the
receiver by the court.
The following is the full decis-
ion:
The enactment by congress of
a uniform system Of bankruptcy
has been repeatedly held to sus-
pend the operation of state bank
ruptcy or insolvency laws.
The embarrassments which
attend the parties in this cause
are the direct outgrowths of a
disregard of that settled doctrine.
In Novem Der, 1902, the J. H.
Alison Lum Der Company of Fitz-
gerald, became inso1vent. 1t
subsequently appeared that it
was also bankrupt. A petition
in behalf of creditors under the
state insolvency law was filed in
the state superior court of the
Oconee circuit against that COM
pany. After consideration of
the case made by the bill, that
honorable court appointed Mr..
J. E. Mercer as receiver of the
assets of the inso1veut company.
By the decree of his appointment
he was ordered to continue the
business of the company as go
ing concern. This he did until
| March 80, 1908, when bankrupt
CIV proceedings we're instituted.
Mr.. Mercer, however, remained
in possession of, the assets of the
bankrupt concern until a trustee
was appointed and qualified,
when he turned over to that Off
Ger the assets in his hands as re-
ceiver. He also Submitted to
the court appointing him report
of his services as receiver. In
this he also gave an account OF
receipts and disbursements.
This report was approved by
| the Judge Of the superior COURT
who recommended to this court
that Mr.. MERGERS compensation
as receiver of the state court be
fixed at the sum of ST, 900. There
after the receiver applied to this
court for. the approval Of his

accounts and for compensation
for his services.
| After taking and hearing the
evidence fully, the special master
J to whom was referred the pc
titioe of Mr.. Mercer, also the pc
tition of the attorneys in the
bankruptcy case and the petition
of Victoria Macarthur, filed his
report.
From this it appears that the
accounts of Mr.. Mercer, as re-
ceiver from the state court were
correct, and that he presented
vouchers for all his expenditures
made in the operation of the bus
mess of the lum Der company.
It appeared that from his own
means Mercer had advanced
$3,451.37 more than had been re-
ceived by him from the oper-
alton of his trust, and the master
therefore found that the insol-
vent company was indebted to
him in that sum. The master
also found that $3.50 would be
reasonable compensation for the
services of Mr.. Mercer as receiv-
err in the state court and as GUS
tGdian of the assets during the
interval between the date of fl
ing of the petition in bankruptcy
aud the qualification of the truss
tee. The master having heard
evidence as to the character of
their services and value, also re-
ported the amounts which should
be allowed the attorneys as fees.
The claim of Mrs. Macarthur
against the bankrupt estate was
disallowed.
On the coming in of the mas
ter's report the court was advised
that most of the machinery and
property had been Withdrawn
from the possession of the trus-
tee. This had been done under
orders granted by the referee in
favor of creditors holding con-
tracts for retention of title. It
further appeared that much 9TH
er property had been sold by the
trustee and the proceeds held to
satisfy the lien of certain mort
cages on practically all the as
sets. In addition to this it ap-
peared that considerable
amount of property was burned
Immediately after the trustee
took charge. This was mainly
lumber, drykilns and the like, on
which it was at the time impos-
sible to obtain insurance. The
loss it seems, however, fell prin-
cipally upon individual creditors
who had retained title or who had
mortgages on the property de-
stroyed. In view of these facts
it was discovered that there was
not a sufficient fund in the hands
of the trustee arising from the
proceeds of unencumbered prop
erty to pay the costs, expenses
of administration, attorneys fees,
the com pens alton of the receiver
in the state court and the sum OF
I$3,451.37 advanced by him from
his personal means in conducting
the losing operation of keeping
that receivership going concern
as ordered by the state court.
Certain pressing and obviously
proper claims received an allow
ance on account by order of the
court. A reference was then
made to the referee having jurls-
diction to report.
