BEFORE JUDGE CANN IN I
ANNAH SATURDAY
Mr. Knight Intimated That He Would
Withdraw From Receivership If
Claims Ware Pushed So At To
Bankrupt Qood, People.
The Savannah Morning News
yesterday has the following article
on the hearing of the report of the
Bank of Waycross receivers before
Judge Cann In Savannah on Satur
day:
Reports on the progress of the re
ceivership crested for tie Bank of
Waycross by Judge Cann two weeks
ago. were heard by the court In cham
bers In Savannah yesterday.
"The hearing was of a rather in
formal nature. Amopg those pres
ent were the Hon. A. M. Knight of
Waycross and W. M. Davant of Sa
vannah. the receivers, and the law
yers representing the various Inter
eats Involved.
no time during the hearing
there was an apparent lack of har
mony between the receivers, wlw
reference 10 a question cf policy con
nected wll|h the liquidation of .the
suspended bank's assets. But the
hearing came to a close with all pres
ent thoroughly understanding each
other.
Mr. Knight, who Is president of
the First National Bank of Waycross
which was an assignee of tho Ban*
of Waycross from Nov. 23 to the
date of iho creation of the receiver
ship, made a statement In explana
tion of the small amount of collec
tlons that have been made so far.
It appeared that Mr. Davant, tho
co-receiver favors a more active ef
fort toward the winding up of tho
business of the bank's estate, while
Mr. Knight thinks that conservatism
should characterize the actions of the
receivers. 4 To force collections, ho
explained, would put several good
people In bankruptcy In jWaytrost,
while a conservative policy toward
them would allow them to work out
their trouble In time. Mr. Davant
through bis attorney, stood for a dil
igent administration of the estate.
The men appeared to be only at
variance on a question of business
policy. If the receivers were ex
pected to press collections on the
talk's accounts In a way that bank-
Pt come of the bank's debtors, Mr.
Knight Intimated that he would
withdraw from tfhe pouldon <of re
ceiver. ,
Flans for the most economical ad
ministration of the estate were dis
cussed. Judge Cann made It clear
hat he wishes the business or the
bank wound up with the least neces
sary cost, nad yet he desires tnat
crythlng be done properly. This
view waa concurred In by all Inter
ested par lea present, too. A report

AS TO PASSENGER RATES.
It Is n safe statement that the pas
senger ratu In Vlrgln'a, North Caro
lina, 8outh Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama will bo two.and a half cents
per mile. Tbls will be the rate In
the states and It will bo the Interstate
rate—at least, It looks that nay now.
dome of the roads that traverso those
states are holding out against It, but
there are lr.JIcatloaa that they will
yield. Tho rate In North Carolina was
two and a quarter cents, but tha Leg
islature was convened to accept tho
Southern's proporitlon of two and a
half cents. No nctlon has been taken
by Virginia as yet, but tho legislature
of that state will, no doubt, accept
the Southern's proposition. Tho Geor
gia Railroad Commission has arrang
ed for the two and n- half cent rale
for all the chief roads, and It wilt
permit a little higher rato to a few
of tho small and weak lines. Tha
rato Is two and t quarter In Alabama
but the Loililntura In that state will
como to tho two and a half cent rate.
For a time nt least, we may ex
pect wtjrse xervlce than wo 7mvU

plaint of the can on some of the
lines. It would,have been better all
things considered, to have let tne
