In an Effort to Make Light
and Water Company Name
an Arbitrator
BENNET { CONYERS EMPLOYED
City Says the Mutual Light and Water
Company Refuses to Name an
Arbitrator and They Will Force
Them to Do SO.

Bennett & Conyers, the we'll known
local attorneys, were yesterday EN-
ployed by the city as associate coun
sells with the city attorney. r. d.
Meadel, TO force the Mutual Light ana
Water Company to appoint an arbi-
traitor who. with E. j. q Bierne, arbi.
traitor for the city, is to decide upO |
the value of the gas and water plant
of the above named company. The
attorneys have been authorized to pro.
ceed with the case as rapidly as pos.
sible. and as a result it is more than
probable that the gas and water ques,
ton between Brunswick city coun-
Gil and the Mutual Light and Water
Company will be finally settled in the
courts.
AS is we'll krown. under the con-
tract entered into between the city
and the old Brunswick Light and
Water Company, at the expiration OF
of same, period of twenty years, the
city reserved the right to either re-
new the contract or purchase the
plant at its arbitrated value. This con
tract expired on Monday, and Mr.
O'Bierne. the city's arbitrator. came
to Brunswick from Atlanta and an
nounced ready, but the city claims
that the light and water company has
not appointed their arbitrator and re-
fuses to do Sc.
Acting under the opinion that the
company will still refuse to name an
arbitrator, Bennett & Conyers were
yesterday employed by the city and,
with the city attorney, will procee /
to the courts with the case. Just
what procedure will be followed can
nOt now be stated, but the city will
endeayor to force the light and water
company to name an arbitrator, or.
if the court decides in It's favor, ana
the Mutual people still continue to re-
fuse to name one, the clty will then
seek to have the court name the arbi,
TRAITOR who, with Mr.. UBierne, will
decide upon the value OF the plans.
The officers of the Mutual Light
and Water Company have nothing to
say on the matter and the chances
are that the matter will be In the
courts for some time to come

Suggested That Two Com
merciaI Bodies Hold Joint
Meeting at Once
TO DISCUSS THE MATTER
Brunswick Now Has an Opportunity to
Secure a New Railroad and the
Business Men are Making Every
Effort to Get IL.

The letter published in The News
Emerson, of the Darien G. Western
railroad, was the topic of conversa'
ton in Brunswick business circles
generally. and every business man In
the city was pleased with the an
nouncement that the owners of the
road were ready to extend to Bruins
wick if the people of this city would
cooperate with them.
Just what action the business men
will take is not yet known, but sew
eral suggestions have been made as
TO meeting with Mr.. Emerson and
other officials of the road.
A majority of the business men OF
the city think the Commercial Lea
que and the Board of Trade shoui ]
take the matter up jointly at once
tlX a date for a meeting and notify
Mr.. Emerson. He stated in his letter
that he was ready and willing to meet
with the people at any date they
suggested.
1t is more than likely that joint
meeting of the two commercial bodies
will be held one day next week, am
the matter will be discussed and some
agreement arrived at. The matter
should have prompt attention and the
business men of Brunswick are not
going to let this opportunity of Sc
curing a new railroad slip through
their hands.
All agree that to extend this grow
ing line to the city would mean more
for Brunswick at present than any
thing else. Brunswick would be the
only city or the line OF the road,
which is 70 miles long; it would open
np new and thickly settled section
20 tins city; would increase the trade
OF the city to great amount an
would. in every possible way, mean
a great thing for Brunswick.
1t Is believed that the owners win

the proper spirit is shown. Just what
President Emerson will ask of the
city is not yet known, but he is ready
to come to Brunswick, go before the
business men of the city and state his
plans AIialfE
The matter should have prompt at
tention, and it is sincerely hoped
rhat the officers of Brunswick's two
commercial bodies will call a joint
meeting at once, take up the matter
and decide upon a date for a meeting

JURISDICTION OF
COURT OF APPEALS
THE RELIEF THAT 1T WILL AF-
FORD THE JUDICIARY OF
THE STATE.

Atlanta, Oct 4.-The new court OF
court, from which cases can be taken
to the supreme court and which would
thus further delay litigation and add
to it's expense. 1t will be the court o.
last resort in all cases within Its
jurisdiction. 1t will be a court alone
for the correction of errors in law
and equity, as is provided in regard
to the supreme court. It's jurisdic-
ton in civil cases includes those origi
mating in city courts and those brought
To the superior courts from county
courts, justices courts and other
courts, except the court of ordinary.
Should a constitutional question
arise in case in the court of ap-
peals, however, and a decision of the
question be necessary to a determine
ton of the case, the court will have
to submit that question to the supreme
court for instruction, and would have
to follow the instruction given. 1t
could of it's own motion submit other
questions to the supreme court for in
StructiOn. In order to prevent con-
flict of decisions. it is provided that
the ueclsions of the supreme court
shall bind the court of appeals as
precedents. Except in the particulars
stated it will be a second supreme
court
Its procedure would be more speedy
than that of the supreme court. A
feature which will greatly commend
the court to popular favor is the pro
vision that all cases reaching the court
during term and before it has closed
the docket of the term shall stand lor
hearing at that term. AS the law
now stands in regard to the supreme
court. cases not reaching the court by
a fixed time before the term must be
PLACED on the docket of the succeed
ing term. unless they are of the class
in which fast writs of error are al
lowed. and in this way they may be
delayed for many months. In its
practice and procedure and in all
other respects, except as otherwise
provided in the amendment, the court
of appeals will be governed by the
laws relating to the supreme court
so far as they can be made to apply.
The court of appeals will take
more than third of the cases which
would otherwise go to the supreme
court. and even then the supreme
court will be called on to decide as
many cases as any other supreme
court IN the United States.
