THAT BIG MORTGAGE Is HERE

One For 100000 Sent by South
western and Gulf Railroad Co. to
BE Recorded in Clerks Office.
The $4,OOO,OOO mortgage given by
the Georgia, Southwestern and Gulf
Railroad Company, of which mention
was made in the last issue of The
News, has been received here by
Clerk of Court Dozier to be recorded
in his office.
The mortgage is on the new rail
road it is proposed to build from
Dawson and Albany to a point on the
Gulf of Mexico.
The following short history of the
project and the recent borrowing of
millions with which to build the road
is from the current issue of the Balm
bridge Search Light:
Two years ago Col. w. M. Legg.
former general manager of the G. F.
q A. railroad, and associates met at
Albany and organized the Georgia
Southwestern & Gulf Railroad Co
The road is surveyed to it's south
western terminus, Panama City, on
st. Andrews Bay, in Florida At
the time the company was formed it
looked well 'On paper but nowhere
else. The state of Georgia was in
the midst of political campaign. and
everything pointed to the destruction
of railroad enterprises and the I'M
safety of invested foreign capital in
railroad securities upon the election
of the dominant political faction.
which succeeded overwhelmingly at
the polls. Such being the fact for
elgn capital seeking investment
Stunned Georgia corporate enter
prises as if they were pestilential.
But Colonel Legg and Mr.. Bruton
Kept pegging away getting the affairs
OF their road in shape for the good
time coming. It seemed to many that
the enterprise had died aborDin'
and had gone the way of all such
but indeed it had not died 1t lived
IN the minds and the actlons of the
two distinguished citizens who head
ed it, and vowed to build it, if neces-
sary, on the ice if a certain warm
place froze over.
Well, after two years Georgia
changed her Chinese wall policy
by a majority more unmistakable
than the one which put it upon her,
and it was also apparent that the
people would soon repudiate at the
polls all men and measures looking
TO change in the government and
financial systems by democratic ia
KRIS and pOpulist vagarists. Then
i was that Messrs. Bruton and Legg
invaded the precincts of a certain
thoroughfare in New York city.
known throughout the world as Wall
street, and made their wants known
in relation to their railroad enter
prise. Backed by their facts and fig
ures, and by revolution of hostile
ment towards foreign capital in
Georgia to one of broad and con-
sentative Hberality, these gentlemen
secured from the Carnegie Trust Co.
money to the amount Of $4,0O0,0OO,
sufficient to build and equip their
railroad.
Col. w. M. Legg is one of the
most expert and practical railroad
men in the south. Henry J. Bruton
is just entering the prime of life, and
is one of the leading merchants and
business men in Georgia He
worked himself up from cash boy
to proprietor of the great business he
now directs with so much ability and
success. He is a natural born man of
affairs, and has been wonderful in
his success in getting the immense
pile of money necessary to build the
Georgia, Southwestern & Gulf Rail-
road. "

RABBIT HUNTERS
ISSUE CHALLENGE
Mt. Pleasant Comes Back at
Nephi on Latter'S Claim
of BIuffing.
Special to The Heraldl

Mt. Pleasant. Feb. 15.-The article from
Nephi in yesterdays Herald, in which
the statement was made that the Mt
Pleasant Gun club had backed down and
out of proposed rabbit hunting con-
test with the Nephi Gun club and that
the members of the Mt. Pleasant Gun
club were a set of buffers. ETC. stirred
up hornets nest among the sporting fra
ternity here. members and non-members
of the Gun club.
The statement from Nephi that the club
backed down and out needs explanation.
Mt Pleasant, in the beginning chal-
leng6d NeDhi for d hunt for money or
for friendly contest The latter was
accepted verbally by telephone early in
the week Later. in arranging details.
the club learned that Nephi had imposed
certain conditions which were not, in the
opinion OF its officers. at all fair Ne
phi wanted to pick the men whom Mt
Pleasant should use. and in doing that
had barred four of its best men, every
one a bona fide active member. That
was one condition. Another was that Ne
phi would pay but portion of the WISH
tors expenses fthe hunt having been ar
ranged TO take place near NephD; and a
third was that Nephi wanted to collect
the bounty of cents per head for every
rabbit killed by the Mt Pleasant team
as well as by its own Mt. Pleasant de-
thing graft, instead of a friendly, social
contest. Incidentally il might be stated
that Nephi offered TO pay only S1S OF
the necessary expenses of the Mt Pleas
attn team. while the bounty sure to come
from the jacks the boys from here would
kill would run from $50 to SO.
Regarding the charge of bluffing. the
Mt. Pleasant Gun club has only this TO
say:
1t will hunt Nephi at any time. in any
place. and for any sum of money. from
500 up to $1,000 The Mt. Pleasant club
will use only its own members chose en-
rolled on its books Jan. I. 1909, while
Nephi may use whomsOever il pleases.
Mt Pleasant is ready to deposit $3.50 at
any time as a forfeit binding the club
to such a contest.
The club would suggest to Nephi that
if that town wants to save itself from
a charge of bluffing. and an ignO-
miniOus backdown, it can do so only by
meeting this offer.

B.y.U. WINS ON
FINAL DECISION
Takes Game From L. D. S. u.
on Foul Committed After
Time Is Called.
Standing of Teams.

The game of basketball between the l.
d. s t. and 3. Y. L. at the Y. NJ. c. A
last night resulted in an argument which
finally resulted in the game being award
ed TO the h. Y. l.. by a score of 26 TO %
1t was only after a wrangle of "a full
half-houT, i'm which the officials and
coaches of the rival schools took part
during which time The result was in
doubt, that Referee Walker decided that
the game belonged to Provo by the above
named score. Il was up to Walker as
referee to make the decision, but this Of
fetal did not know what TO do and it was
only after considerable argument that
he finally gave the game to Provo ON
what he termed technically.
With the two teams Fighting like de-
mons and the score tied al % to %, an at
tempt was made by the official timekeep-
er 10 end the game as result of final
time. The gun used for the purpose miss
ed fire and an attempt was made to call
Referee Walkers attention to the fact.
Umpire Brown well as others blew
their whistles but so loud was the noise
of the roofing that Referee Walker did
not. nor was il hardly possible for him
TO, hear them. Perhaps about thirty sec
onds after the official timekeeper had
tried to stop the game. foul was called
by Walker on one of the L.. d. S. u. play
ers. who, like the referee did not know
time was up. Provo was allowed the
free throw for goal and scored a point,
which proved the winning one. That the
time was up there was no question. and
the l.. ID. 5. L. claimed the game ended
at the time the official timekeeper tried
to fire his gun. Coach Teetzel claimed
The time was not up until the referee end
ed the game upon the request of the Of
fetal timekeeper. Walker finally decided
that this stand was right. and although
time might have been up, he had not been
notified on account of the noise. and that
Provo was entitled to try for a goal from
the foul line on the foul called by him.
The crowd was one of the largest of the
season and so great was the interest that
nearly everybody remained for the final
result. After the game there was a meet
ing between the coaches and officials and
the matter was gone over and over. Ref
cree Walker finally making his decision,
which gave the game to the b. Y. L.
The Provo boys took the lead at the
start and the first half ended with a score
of Is to 10 in their favor. In the second
half the Saints improved and near the
end of the half had tied the score. From
this point on the men played fast and
fierce. Until the unsatisfactory end came.
These two teams have met ONCE before
this season and then il was a foul called
just at the end of time that gave the
game to Provo.
