HEAVY LIABILITIES
OWING HIS CREDITORS A
BIG AMOUNT. ,>

A petition in bankruptcy was filed
yesterday by J. J. lowers, of Brcxton,
Coffee county, through his attorney,
G. T. Roam, of Douglas, and the case
has been set for hearing by Referee
Isaac on January %.
Though the bankrupt states in the
petition that he is farmer, his liza
bilities are heavy, in fact the case
is one of the largest, from the view
point of liabilities, filed in the local
court recently. The Indebtedness of
the bankrupt is placed at $4,000.
while the assets are scheduled at $14,-
900, consisting mostly Of real estate.
such as farm lands, etc.
Among the creditors of the bank
rupt are many business houses in
south Georgia and elsewhere in the
state, but local concerns were not hit
hard by the failure, as only one CT
two of them are scheduled for small
amounts.
Mr.. lowers has been engaged in the
farming business at BroXton for many
years, and his failure is one of the
largest yet recorded in the state for a
farming business.

DEPOTATEvERETT
is DESTROYED
BY FIRE
STATION ON SOUTHERN AND SEA.
BOARD VISITED 81 A SERIOUS
CONFEDERATION EARLY YES
TERDAY MORNING,

The neat little depot of the South
ern railway and the Seaboard Air Line
at Everett City, twenty miles from
Brunswick, was totally destroyed by
tire at All early hour yesterday morn
Ing, and though the employees of the
two roads, as well as the inhabitants
of the little place. made a heroic eff
fort to extinguish the blaze, they were
unable to check the flames, being
without fire protection, and before the
fire was out 1t had burned the depot
to the ground.
The office at Everett was very
neat building, in it being located the
Joint offices of the two reads, the ex-
press office, baggage room, etc, and,
as Everett IS quite an important
point, the structure was one of the
best in the state at station of its
size.
While trains arrived in the city yes
terday after the fire only meagre de-
tails could be ascertained, but it Is
the general consensus of opinion that
the fire originated in the waiting-room
where it is supposed, tramp had
stopped over the night, making fire
and leaving it burning when he de-
parted before day. The waiting-room
was never locked and often tramps,
bound for Florida via the ''crosstie
route" would stop over for the night
1t is understood that the only things
saved were those stored in the office
of the Southern Express company,
which were rescued before the fire
reached that portion of the building.
The Office furniture of the two rail-
roads, including two or three type
writer's, all the records, etc, were
completely destroyed.
During the day telegraphic commun
ication was cut off, but last night a
temporary Office was supplied and
Everett was again in communication
with the outside world.
The exact amount of the loss is
not known, but it Is understood that
1t was almost fully covered by in
surance. 1t is probable that the de-
pot will at once be rebuilt.

CA 1ES- WILL NOT
Be TRIED MONDAY
JUDGE CONVERS ANNOUNCES
THAT THEY WILL BE CARRIED
OVER TO JUNE TERM.

Ready and Asked for Postponement.

Docket on Monday.

ers, which had been arranged for next
Monday in the Glynn superior court,
have been carried over fer the term
and will not be tried until the June
session of the court.
This announcement was made by
Judge Conyers yesterday afternoon,
be sent out at once.
After several preliminary fights, in
which efforts have been made to throw
the cases out of court on technicali-
ties, it was finally ordered by the
Georgia supreme court that the bank
ers should go to trial and the cases
should be tried on their merits.
In the meantime a change of venue
had already been asked, it. being i'm
possible to secure a jury in Ware
county. The attorneys firally got to-
gether and fixed date for the trial,
January II being named
Just why the cases have been car
ried over until June is not known, but
it is understood that the state made
the request on the ground that it was
not yet ready to go to trial
Considerable interest has been man
ifested in the trial of these cases, as
three of Waycross' leading citizens
are implicated, and many people In
that city are interested.
While these bank cases will net be
tried next week, 1t has been aunounc-
ed by Judge Conyers that the court
will continue in session and all Grim
inal cases will be disposed of during
the week. The civil docket is being
handled this week and Monday morn
ing the court will start on the criiui
nal branch of the business.

CANDIDATES FOR
COUNTY OFFICES
RUMORED
r. S. PYLES IN THE RACE FOR
COUNTY TREASURER AGAINST
C. p. THoRNToN-oTHE INTER
EsTINe CONTESTS EXPECTED.

County politics IS beginning to warm
up in Glynn county, an before many
more weeks the pot will be simmeriug
and candidates for various offices VIII
be bobbing up in every nook and
crook.
While number of prospective can
didates have been mentioned, as yet
not a single announcement has been
made through the press, though some
of those who will be in various races
do not hesitate in stating that they
will announce later on.
One race which promises to be un-
usually interesting, will be for the
office of county treasurer. Rev. G. p.
Thornton, the present incumbent, will
be opposed by r. S. Pyles, at pres
ent deputy sheriff. While Mr.. Pyles
has not yet made his official an
the race, and this contest between
the two is already under pretty good
headway, with the outlook that the
race will be one of the most interest
ing of the spring primary, as both
the present treasurer and his oppon
ent are unusually popular in the city
and county.
But this will net be the only con-
test to attract the attention of the
Glynn county voters, as various other
candidaes are being mentioned for
some of the county offices, and it is
expected that besides Treasurer
Thornton at least two or three of the
others now in Office will have oppo
sition.

PLAINTIFF GETS
First VERDICT
N DIVORCE SUIT
ToRRAs DIVORCE CASE OCCUPIED
ALL OF YESTERDAY lM
SUPERIOR COURT.
Public Was Again Excluded During the
Introduction Of Testimony. 'eot the
Courtroom Was Crowded While Al
torneys Made Their Arguments.

IN the superior court yesterday the
divide case of Rosendo Torras VS..
kaS Tsey Torras, occupied most of the
day. lie hearing of evidence occu-
pied ntst of the morning session, and,
as on the previous day all except
those interested in the case were
excluded from the courtroom by Judge
Conyers.
The arguments opened shortly after
court was convened after the noon
recess, and both of the attorneys, r.
d. Dart for the defendant and D. W.
krauss for the plaintiff, were quite
lengthy in their arguments
The case went to the jury late in
the afternoon, and after deliberating
for three or four hours verdict was
returned finding verdict for the
plaintiff. This, however, does not
mean that the case is definitely set
tied, as it was only a first verdict
returned last night and another fight
will be experienced when the case is
called at the next session of the
court.
This has proved to be the most SEN
sational divorce suit probably in the
history of Glynn county, and though
spectators were barred during the in
PRODUCTION of testimony, the court
room was pretty we'll crowded during
the time that the attorneys were argu-
ing.
Other Cases.
After the case was given to the
jury Judge Conyers took up one or
two small cases and disposed of them
dnTing the late afternoon. They were

toward the top. He is self made and
self educated and this means just what
he was found TO be in the legislature,
a man who is undaunted by opposition
man with n mind once made up hard
TO change without solid facts to prove
his error. Mr.. Rice was born In New
York state. but has been resident OF
st. Joseph during the last As years of
his busy life. For AZ years Of that time

change of business between the river
and the railway lines. In his state
ment to the association he advises the
cities to begin at once on plans to
provide the river with outlets for traf-
fic carried on a new channel, and to
establish modern river harbors where
traffic coming in 20 river ports via
rail lines, may be transhipped with
minimum cost. In most river towns
he points out, the cost of transporting
river carried coal from the terminal
docks to the factories ordering IL,
would be greater than the total of the
water weight. To cure this condition
he recommends joint river front tracks,
reaching the warehouses and wharves
where without transfer charges or at
minimum expense, heavy river
freight may he unloaded into cars and
delivered at its destination without
expensive carriage.
