LONG CONTESTED CASE.
Final Decree in Case of South
ern Saw MIL & Lumber Com.

pany.
Wilmington Star.
The Circuit Court of Appeals
at Richmond, Va, has just rem
dered a final decree in the long
contested case Of the Union Trust
Company against the Southern
Saw Mil & Lumber Co., Of
Kingsdale, N. c., which is well
remembered by readers of this
paper.
In 1902 the creditors of the
lumber company put it into the
hands Of a receiver. The bond
holders were not made a party
to this suit and in 1904 they
brought a separate suit to fore
close. The suits were later con-
sOlidated. The next step was the
removal Of the receiver because
of unsuccessful management and
Mr.. A. H. Slocomb, Of Fayette-
vile, was appointed receiver. He
managed the plant with success,
making some money for the
parties in interest. The plant
was next sold for $36, ,0O0. In
the meantime there had been a
number Of receivers certificates
issued by Judge Purnell in the
first suit and made prior liens on
all of the property. The bond
holders cOntended these certif1-
Gates were invalid. A special
| master, H. F. Seawell, made an
elaborate report which came up
before Judge Pritchard. He
held that as to some of these
| certificates that the claims for
which they were issued were
prior claims and as to others he
l held that they were invalid. He
also held with the referee that
: some $11, ,0G0 was chargable tc
the bondhOlders for betterments
to the plant. He also allowed
certain other claims as prior tc
: the bondholders.
The Circuit Court of Appeals
has now modified the opinion Of
: Judge Pritchard, overruling hin
! ! as to the charge for bettermentE
! and all claims given priority by
1 the lower court, except Sc, 79(
:. which were labor claims thai
l had been assigned to Mr.. Chas
NJ. Busbee and Chas. H. Belvin
Of Raleigh. The contention OF

distribution Of the assets, wiCE
this exception has been sustain

1 I peals. Among the counsel repre-
y senting the various claimants

VOTE FOR
THE BONDS

If you have not yet voted for
the bond issue hustle down to the
Polls in the City Hall and do so.
The polls close at 5 o'clock and up
to 2 o'clock only 240 out of 367
registered voters had deposited
their ballots. This election is an
important one and every citizen
having the city's advancement at
heart should make it his duty by
going and voting in the affirmative.
The election is to vote on the
proposition of issuing $40, 900 in
81 interest bearing bonds to run
for 80 years and has been sub
ject of much interest to the pro
gressive and advancement minded
residents for some time.
AS we go to press the outlook for
wing the election for bonds is
safe, but if you haven't voted go
and vote right now.

Catholic Missionaries Arrive

The Rev. Fathers =. A. McAIa.
Jhan, eremiah O'Hara and Bren-
dan d. O'Sullivan arrived in Fitz-
gerald on Sunday and are staying
at the Lee Grant. They arc here
for the purpose Of giving miss!en
at the Catholic church on north
Grant street. This mission, which
is for the benefit Of Non Catholics
us we'll as Catholics, will continue
till Thursday. While it lasts ser
vices will be held every morning,
afternoon and evening. The
morning services will be at seven
and eight, the afternoon at $3.50,
and the evening services will be-
gin at 1880.
Besides the usual sermons on
moral subjects the course will also
include Il series of lectures on the
fundamental doctrines Of Catho-
iicity..
The object of the Mission is to
afford to the inquiring mind of the
intelligent and conscientious Non
Catholic, who is in earnest in his
search after truth, an opportunity
Of becoming acquainted with the
belief and practices of the Catho-
lie church. Non Catholics are
therefore cordially invited to at
tend the services. Any question
Catholic doctrine they
may wish to ask will be answered.
There will be q question box at
the door of the church Those
who wish to have their doubts
cleared up Oh any particular point
can write out the question, put it
in the box and the required infor-
nation Will be given afterservices.
Moreover, the Rev. Fathers can be
seen at any time during the day
either at the church or at the
hotel and will be only too happy
to give any information.
The rapid growth and develop
ment Of the Catholic Church in
the United States within recent
years is truly marvellous. 1t is to
day the most numerous and power
full religious organization in this
country. Its wonderful progress
under Divine Providence may be
attributed to the fact that the
Americans as a people are natur-
ally fair honest aud just. When
therefore they make a careful and
impartial study of the doctrines of
the Catholic Church their logical
minds are quick to see the justice
of it's claims on their allegiance
and adherence. The truth of this
statement is evident from the facts
that converts to the Catholic
Church arc much more frequent
classes than among illiterate,
At present the church in theI
United States is governed by one
cardinal, one observation-disclosures,
ninety arch bishops and bishops
and about fifteen thousand priests
1t numbers within it's fold nearly

States alone. Including the philip

for much less than the eighty thou

enable them to place in the county
treasure that which was uneXpend-
ed ON these buildings. This would
enable them to catch up with our
indebtedness with money at 5%
interest while they are now
paying 81 for all mOny paid out
by them. And by doing in this
way they will not have to levy Q
tax to catch up with our back in
debtedncss. We could not order
an election to that effect, because
the law fixes that by saying that
no county can be bonded for any
other purpose than public build
ings, so if they build these build
ings for less than the bonded

lance to the county treasurey for
general purposes then so good for
them and for the county. My

he had his eyes skinned looking

Ia cat. will not close this artic lie
without paying my respects to the
all important question of public

hard for the people to all agree
as to any one thing some wants
this and some want that, so here
we have it. For MY part | had

cial convection of the county. We
should not expect too great d thing
now until get on our feet. While
the County is having to borrow
every dollar she uses. The inter
est is too great and it will cause
orr taxes to be high. ] want to
see the convicts put on the roads
and expect to see before long.
| Altho it will be great expense
to the county at this stage of our
existence. When We have to
borrow the money now and pay
back when We collect tax.
We get the money now at the
Banks at 81 int and the county
treasurer gets 24% for receiving it
and 24% for paying it out then
wheu we collect our taxes the law
compells the collector to turn ov-
yer all money to county treasure
and he again gets 28% for paying
out so you see what the money
cost us by the time VIC pay back
what we have borrowed. l think
under the present conditions OF
things we should all pull together
and at all times work for the adj
vancement of our county. And

and progressive in our ways.
