Stockholders Ask Re-
ceiver for Receivers

Bruins wick, Ga. Dec. 7.-Copies
of the petition for bankruptcy
filed recently in Toledo, Ohio,
against the Yaryan Naval Stores
Company, have been received in
Brunswick. Charges of a SEN
sational character are made
against Jas. S. Bradley, Jr.,
Homer T. Yaryan of Toledo and
E. W. Stetson of Macon, the
three receivers. AS stated in
these dispatches, parties in Tole-
do interested in the plant, are
seeking to put the SIS, 200, 900
corporation into bankruptcy.
While all three of the receivers
appointed as a result of the liti-
cation are named in the charges
brought by the petitioners, the
gravest allegations are directed
against Mr.. Bradley, who is presi-
dent of the concern and in active
charge of its affairs. He iseharg-
ed with Justification of the COM
pany's records, with being in
competent, reckless and extrava-
CANT, and it is alleged that. as a
direct result of his "extravagant
and wrongful methods and poll
cies, :" the business has been so
conducted for some time that it
has been insolvent.

Negro Let Out Of Jail
To Spend His First Free
Christmas in 27 Years

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 1O.-Palmer
Peters, colored, who once sold
celestial tickets that would pass
south Georgia negroes into
heaven, is preparing for his first
free" Christmas in twenty
seven years.
Judge Andy Calhoun, knowing
Of Palmer's recurring misfortune
lat Christmas, has had him re-
leased from Fulton county iail
that he may know the novelty of
freedom at yuletide.
His first preparation will be
baptism next Sunday as a Hard
she'll Baptist. He believes this
precaution will keep him within
the narrow way until after the
Christmas season.
Forty-six years of Palmer's
sixty years of life have bee l
spent in Jail. The sentences have
been short, but they have fol-
lowed fast upon one another, and
such has been his fate, that each
returning Christmas for twenty
seven years has found him in Jail.
His first Imprisonment began
with riot in church. Other Of
lenses followed, and was capped
by the tickets that offered trans
port to heaven.
South Georgia negroes were
agitated then over the prophecy
that the world was drawing to
its close. Property was sold, all
worldly things were put aside, in
anticipation Of the last day. At
this time came Palmer with his
tickets that would pass one
straight through the gates where
st. Peter watches. He sold them
faster than tickets to a circus.
His celestial mileage was in de-
mand in the negro quarters of
every south Georgia plantation.
He seemed in a fair way to reach
the Importance of a financier.
What he really reached was
Jail, and there he has remained
internationally during twenty
seven years. But there has been
no intermission at Christmas.
LATER.
The Atlanta papers give an ac-
count of the re-arrest of the
above negro. Drunk and dis
orderly was the charge. He will
be let out of prison on Xmas day.
Just can't stay out of Jail.

GRANITE MANSION
FOR SAM vENABLE

Atlanta, Ga.-Have you ever
seen a Castle in Spain" built
out of real granite? Have you
ever known a Castle in the
Air. to be built on earth? Have
you ever seen a childhood dream
come true in after years? If you
haven't, the next time you come
to Atlanta you ought to get in a
motor car. or take the streetcar,
and run out to beautiful Druid
Hills, to look at a certain magnif-
icent mansion that has been
built of Georgia granite, taken
from Stone Mountain.
1t looks like a modernized
Tudor mansion, but it is really a
Castle in SPAIN. 1t is dream
come true. For more than a
quarter of century Sam H.
Venable had been saying to him
self, yes. I'll wait, and wait
patiently, and some day I'll build
me a home-a house beautiful
planned and constructed entirely
after my hearts desire"
He is one of the few men who
has realized such an ambition,
and his home today is the admir-
alton of all Atlanta.
