OEFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
:—"‘w_fi______—-————-—————_"“‘—#
DAWSON, GA., JuLy 20TH, 1898
THE NEW BANKRUPT LAW.
The fact that the president bas just
put his signature to the bankruptey
measure passed by congress during the
session of that body which has just
come to a close draws renewed atten
tion to what, in some respects, is the
most important piece of legislation en
acted in some time,
The measure provides for volun
tary and involuntary bankrupt
cy. The object .of the voluntary
bankruptey feature of the bill is to en
able men who have become insolvent
during the recent depression to free
themselves from their habilities and to
have lan opportunity to start over
again. The prime object of the invol
untary procedure is to defeat prefer
ences given within four months before
the time when petitions are filed.
The districts courts of the United
States are given jurisdiction over
bankruptcy proceedings with concur
rent jurisdiction in the circuit courts,
The assets of bankrupts are to be ad
ministered through trustees designated
by the judges of the United States
court assuming jurisdiction.
Any person may, one month after
filinga petition for bankruptcy and
being adjudged a bankrupt, file appli
cation for discharge in the court of
bankruptey in which the proceeding;‘
are pending. The judge is required to
hear the application for discharge and
to discharge the applicant unless the
bankrupt has committéd an offense
punishable by imprisonment under the
provisions of "the act,; orj bhas with
fraudulent intent concealed his true
financial condition, and in contempla
tion of bankrupt destroyed, concealed
or failed to keep books, accounts .or
records from which his true condition
might be ascertained. To obtain a dis
charge the consent of creditors 1s not
required, nor is it necessary that a
bankrupt should pay any percentage to
creditors.
Involuntary}bankruptey is provided
for under the following circumstances:
When a man has disposed of his
property with intention to defraud.
When he has disposed of his proper
ty to one or more creditors with intent
to give preferences to them.
When he has given preferences
through legal proceedings,
When a man has made a voluntary
assignment for the benefit of his cred
itors.
When a man admits in writing that
he is a bankrupt.
The bill protects the bankrupt in his
homestcad and exemptions provided
for by the laws of the respective
states.
A SovurtH CarorLiNA merchant ordered
a lot of canned goods from New York,
stateg an exchange, and on their ar
rival he found from the labels that
they had been packed by a canning
factory in his own town. They had
been shipped vo New York aud freight
ed back to the town where manufact
tired. The goods paid two freights,
and could have been bought cheaper
from the factory at first. This illus
trates the folly of sending away from
home for anything that 1s wanted. No
country in the world is better able to
hive within itself than the south, and
the people in the south snould in self
interest buy preferably the products of
her home factories.
ADpMIRAL CERVERA Will be a prison
er 1n a constructive instead of a lhiter
al sense. It is announced that after
a short period of formal imprisonment
for form’s sake he will be released on
his own recognizance, with the free
dom of the United States, with the un
derstanding that he is not to leave the
country, and that he will report his
whereabouts to the Washington gov
ernment once a week. This generous
treatment of a valorous foe will be ap
preciated by the civilized world. Ad
miral Cervera and the other captured
officers of the late Spanish fleet are at
Annapolis.
Some of Atlanta’s “‘smart set’”’ are
hot in the collar because of some re
marks made by Rev. Dr. Broughton.
While the good man of the cloth might
have been too severe in his excoriation,
there was some truth in what he said.
The midale class of beth men and wo
en is the bulwark of safety to society
‘d good morals. The low and and ig-
norant are bad enough, but the wick
ednessin high placesls far in excess,
for money and means cover from the
world that which the lower class can
not hide.
Se~ATOR MORGAN, a leading light of

safe to say that Senator Morgan will
tell the commission how to arrange
the Hawaiian system ol government
so that the white race will govern.

'S VIEWS
SENATOR BACON'S :
ROTTEN BOROU~HS AND CARPET
BAG POLITICS .
Will Ensue from American Possession of
the Spanish Islands. Senate to Recon~
vene If Spain Sues for Peace.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Senator A. O. Bacon, who has re
turned from Washington, was informed
by a Telegraph reporter yesterday after
noon of the surrender of Santiago de
Cuba a few minutes after the news had
been received.
**That would seem to mean," he said,
‘“‘that Spain would sue for peace. If so,
I may lose my summer vacation, for the
president cannot complete a treaty of
peace without the consent of the senate.
However, the preliminary neg tiatiocs
may be long delayed, and it may be some
time before the prerident may think it
necessary to recall the senate. lam,
' therefore, somewhat in the attitude of a
'soldier on waiting orders.”
~ Senator Bacon was rather inelined to
‘he opinion that the period of active hos
tilities was drawing to a close, but he
believed the American people were
about to face some highly troublesome
questions growing out of the extension
of territory.
“If we make Cuha, Rorto Rico, Ha
waii and the Philipgines part of our do
main we will have to maintain a vast
standing army and navy. We wiil have
t) keep an army of about 50,000 men in
the Philippines alone, for that territory
is made up of a multitude of small islands
inhabited by semi-savage, revolutionary
people. I think it would cost us $50,-
000,000 a year to support an effective
governmental establishment there, and
we wou'd derive from the islands vary
little revenue to offset the charge. We
cannot hold the'people there as subjects,
for that would be contrary to the spirit
of our American institutions. The
American people, then, must be pre
pared .0 go down into their pockets
very deep, and to endure war taxes for
a long time. It will be for them to meet
the deficit between the expenses of ad
ministration and the revenues derived
from the new territories. |
**T'hen there will be the inevitable de
velopment of political corruption. Ha
waii, 2,000 miles away, is liable to de
generate into a rotten borough if there
is anything in precedent, and the oppor
tunities for carpetbag rascalily in a re
gion 7,000 miles away, as the Philip
pines are, would be illimitable,”
Senator Bacon mada these points to
incicate the possible troubles that we
may have to encounter when the tradi- l
vional national policy sball have been re
rsed. : |

W ASHINGTON, July 14.—The adjutant
general received the following from
Playa del Este this afternoon:
‘““Adjutant General, Washington:
Have just returned from interview with
General Toral. He agrees to surrender
upou the basis of being returned to Spaiun.
I'his proposition embraces all of eastern
Cuba, from Accerradoros on the south
to Sagua on the north via Paima, with
practically the fourth army corps. Com

arrange the terms,

Another message from General Shaf

conditions of surrender, says:
“The conditions of capitulation in

derstood United States commissioners
will recommend that the Spanish soldiers
return to Spain with the arms they so
bravely defeuded. 'l'his leaves the ques
tion ot the return of arms entirely in the
hands of the government, I invite at
tention to the fact that several thousand
surrendered, said bv General Toral to be
about 12,000, against whom a shot has
not been fired. The return to Spain of
the troops in this district amounts to
