IULt PROPERTY

ON SAYS c, ,UR1
QUITE AN INTERETING DECISION
HANDED DOWN BY THE SU.
PREME COURT.
1t Sustained Judge PendIeton in A.
lowing a Car of the Mobile and
Ohio to be Chained to
the Arack.

The supreme court of Georgia estab-
lished an important legal precedent in
an opinion handed down Wednesday
in the case of the Southern railway
against Charles Brown. The court
holds that sthe equipment of foreign
railroad corporations may be levied
on in Georgia, even though it is en-
the levy Is made when the equipment
is not actually in use.
The case is unique. Several months
ago Attorney Marion Smith, of Allan
ia, representing Charles Brown, a
claimant against the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, a foreign corporation, levied
upon box car of the company in At
lanta. The car was then idle, and At
torney Smith, through an attachment.
had the car chained to the track and
guard left on duty to see that it was
not moved.
The purpose of the levy was to es-
tablish jurisdiction and compel the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad company to
acknowledge service of the suit
The Southern railway fought the at
tachment on the ground that the car
Though the property of the Mobile and
Ohio, was in its service, under contract
! for a stated time. The case was heard
before Judge Pendleton.
The court in this instance, held
that the Southern railway was en-
titled to the use Of the car provided
! it would give bond in the sum of 81 900
! to insure that the car would be re-
| turned to the court at the expiration
, of the contract.
! The Southern objected to the condi-
tional bond, and appealed the case to
the supreme court, where Attorney
Smith argued to sustain. the decision
of the lower court The supreme
court sustains Judge Pendleton.
During all of the litigation the car
has remained where it was captured
Under the supreme courts decision
the foreign corporation will be forced
to acknowledge service in the suit OF

Georgia being tied to the tracks.

ALL DOGS MUST BE MUzZ[EO
Or THEY WILL BE KILLED
WAS PRONOUNCED
AS HYDROPHOB|A
DOG KILLED HERE WEDNESDAY
HAD RABIES SAID PASTEUR
INSTITUTE.

Mayor Hopkins yesterday morning
received telegram from the Pasteur
Institute in Atlanta announcing that
the dog which was shot in this city
Wednesday afternoon had hydropho
bia.
AS stated in The News yesterday
morning, the head of the canine was
sent to the institute by the city author
Iities Wednesday night and an imme-
diate report on the case was requested.
AS son as the physicians had made
an examination yesterday and discov-
cred that the dog really had hydro
phobia, the authorities here were mott
fed by wire.
1t is understood that two people and
several dogs were bitten by the hound
before he was killed by the police. 1t
lis feared that some erouble may re.
suit from the bites. It cannot be
learned who the two people are re-
ported to haTe been bitten. One of
them, it is sta&edwas negro living on
the outskirts of the city. The other
it is understood was a child.
Efforts the being made to capture
all ofeFhe dogs bitten by the hound to
preYEnt further trouble.
At is feared that some of these dogs
may later go mad, which would cause
considerable trouble in the city and
efforts will be made to keep them
penned up to await developments.
During yesterday a total of seven
dogs were killed, some of them were
bird dogs and other family pets, but
they had been bitten by the mad
hound which was running at random
"Wednesday, and it was thought best
jby the owners to kill them.
There are still one or two others in
the city which are known to have been
bitten and they will probably be kill.

STATE DAD Ill
WAS DEF hItD
IN The SENATE
COMMISSION WILL NOT BE AP-
POINTED TO LOOK INTO AD-
VISIBILITY OF EXTENSION :.
Senate Refused to Concur With the
House and the Amendment was
Killed BY Good Major
ity of Votes.

Before the Georgia senate finally ad-
journed Wednesday night, it took up
lne amendment to the bill of Repre-
sentative Alexander, of Dekalb county
providing for the appointment of a
commission to investigate the wisdom
of extending the state road to the sea
and tabled the bill by vote of 20 to
IL, which ended the measure as far as
the present legislature was concerned.
This action on the part of the senate
will come as surprise to the friends
of the bill, who were resting under
the impression that the senate would
concur in the action of the house and
pass the amendment, which merely
called for the appointment of a COM
mission by the governor to look into
the advisability CT extending the road
from Atlanta to the sea and to re-
port back at the next session of the
Legislature.
When the bill of Mr.. Alexander
came up in the house it was fought
by large number of members and
finally it was agreed to pass this
amendment, which proved satisfactory
to the friends of the. bill and to those
who we're opposing it.
The matter has not since been heard
from, but it was generally thought
that the senate would take a like
action, but when it came up Wednes-
day night it was defeated by a good
majority
The action cf the senate means that
the measure is dead for the present
session at least. 1t is expected, how
ever, that Mr.: Alexander, who will
be a member of the senate next year
will keep up his fight for the exten-
sion of the road to the sea. 1t has
been his pet measure for the past
two or three years, but it seems as
if he is having some trouble in get
ting it before the house for vote.

PRICE OF LUMBER SOARES
TEN PER CENT HIGHER
Another Increase Expected, According
to Atlanta Report


to Atlanta Report.
Atlanta, August 13.-Because of the
great building activity and general
Improvement. in all lines of business,
lumber has advanced ten per cent,
and dealers say they expect another
ten per cent raise within the next
few days.
At the time of the panic last Novem
Der, lumber dropped heavily, and mills
that did not shut down, cut down their
forces, and in several instances work
ed just enough men to keep going
Framing that before. the panic brought
1918 dropped to $14. "A' flooring
from 1892 to $23; shingles from SAFE
to $3,4O, and "B". weather boarding
from SIT to $14.
While the present increase would
istill make the price of lumber much
lower than that before the panic, an
other increase of 10 per cent, which
lis expected, would raise it closer tc
, the original figures, and the beliei
is general now that lumber will clint
, steadily upwards.
The amount of building in Atlanta
, has increased enormously in the pas
few months, and this increase, coupled
with the general betterment Of busl
ness, is said TO be the cause of the In
icrease in the price of lumber.

LOCAL BOYS LOST GAME
TO THE WAYCROSS TEAM

While nothing was heard from the
Brunswick ball club, which played at
Waycross yesterday afternoon, it is
understood that the club lost the first
game of the series to the Waycross
club by a score of 2to l.
This information was secured from
passenger who arrived in the city
from Waycross last night. The fact
that none of the boys wired the result
of the game is good evidence that
they were defeated.
Two more games are to be played
between the two Clubs, one this after
noon and the other tomorrow.
