SUIT TO
RECOVER PENALTY
UNDER ACT OF 1907 FOR FAIL
URE TO RELEASE MORTGAGE
OR DEED OF TRUST.

Probably the first suit instituted
under the act OF 1907 giving penalty
to the mortgagor against the holder
Of the debt who fails or refuses to ~
lease the same upon the discharge OF
the debt, was brought recently
before Justice Of the Peace H. F. Far
ISIS. Otey Morrow is suing Thomas
Bates for the penalty alleging the
facts necessary under the act of 1907
to entitle a recovery. The suit will
he resisted, both sides having employ
ed counsel and the case is set for
hearing next Saturday.
Under the act Of 1907, Chapter 473,
it is provided that where the holder
OF a deed OF trust or mortgage which
has been fully paid and discharged
by the mortgaeog, shall upon thirty
days written notice, fail or refuse to
release same upon the margin of the
record where ii may be recorded or
by the execution OF formal deed of
release. shall forfeit penalty of 800
to be recovered by the giving such
notice. This act provides that ali the
costs and fees incident TO the dis
charge of the deed of trust or mort
gage must be paid by the holder of
the debt.
In the suit at bar it is alleged that
the plaintiff on June l made written
demand upon the defendant that he
release the debt which is said to have
been paid in full, but that the defend |
ant has failed and refused to make |
he necessary release. In the event |
hat the suit of the plaintiff is sus-
aimed and the facts are found to be

A CORRECTION.

John Trotwood Moore writes to The
Herald that he was misquoted in this
papers report of his speech at the
barbecue at Indian Camp Springs
that he made no reference to State
Issues. but his remarks were confined
altogether to discussion of National
Issues in the course of which he paid
a high eulogy to President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Moore concluded his remarks by
reading his poem Through the Mar
rows, published in March in the Tay
lor-Trotwood monthly when the feet
passed through the narrows. The
Herald reporter did not hear Mr..
Moore's speech. but got his informa-
ton from what he presumed reliable
sources.

LOCAL CAPITALISTS
Own Large Amount of the Stock of
Hurricane Co.

The Hurricane Mining Co. is com
posed largely of Maury county capt.
talists and the land in question is
near Beaver Dam Springs. George
Campbell Brown of Spring Hill, is
president of the company; A. N. Akin,
secretary and treasurer and John w.
Fry and George Killebrew are direc-
tors. A year or two since Mr.. Brown
sold the number l common logs on
the large tract of land to James T..
Anderson, the deal being subject to
the ratification of the board of direc
tors. The contract was drawn ana
brought here for ratification, but the
board of directors refused to ratify
on the grounds that the sale did no,
include the Gull logs and that this
portion of the timber would be wasted
and would result in large loss.
Mr.. Fry afterwards sold the timber
to the Standard Oil Co. for $4,000,
this price for the timber alone being
$4,000 in excess OF the cost of the
land to the company Mr.. Anderson
undertook to hold Mr. Brown person
ally responsible for the first deal and
that is the basis of the pending suit
Not wishing to try the case in Maury
the complainant brought the
suit against AID Chessor as agent OF
the company, Mr.. Chessor having
from time to time done some work

FOLK OBJECTS TO
PROPOSED MERGER
COMMISSIONER OPPOSED TO ABB
soRPTloN OF INSURANCE CON-
PANIES IN NEW YORK.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 5.-State
Insurance Commissioner Reau E. Folk
yesterday wired kilograms of protest
to the president of the Provident Saw
Vile, KY, and also to the superinten-
dent of insurance of New York, OBJ
jecting to the proposed amalgamation
of the above named company with
the Intra-Southern Insurance Co. of
Louisville, whereby the latter company
would absorb the Provident Savings
Life Co.
The grounds on which Commits
sioner Folk bases his objection to the
merger is that the business of the
Intra-Southern Co, is in an unsatisfac-
tory condition, according to the com
missioners findings in an investiga-
ton of the company's affairs last fall
Neither one of the companies do
business in Tennessee. Commission
er Folk last fall revoked the license
of the Provident Assurance Co. to do
business in Tennessee, because of the
of its capital. The stock
of the concern was shown to be in
the hands of E. r. Thomas and other
New Workers, who were engaged in
dealings that had considerable bear
ing on the money panic in New York |
last October. 1t has been for several |
days rumored that the control of the |

The fruit crop of the lewiston
Charleston valley Is about harvested
and the sum total of the output can
be Appropriated. From estimates
complied from well authenticated
sources 1t is known that the amount
shipped by freight and express to tho
outside markets is nearly 5,0O0,OOO
pounds. being roughly $50 carloads
n 10000 pounds each, the value OF
which is conservatively placed at
426O,0OO.
The above does not include the
amount used In home and local con-
sumption nor the amount sent to the
caaneries. It makes no account OF
tho byproducts OF the orchards nor
0f the second crops grown on the
eame land under the intensive cul-
tivation possible where the grower
can control his moisture supply and
has al the possible values OF rich
and productive soil.
When the aggregate Is made of all
Of these factors 1t will be found that
the owners Of the acreage tracts In
Observation-Disclosures valley have a
competence In their orchard homes
equal to II not greater than the best
farms In the grain belt.
