Dickens Made Easy
An order of adjudication In bank
ruptcy was made in the consolidated
cases of R. H. Plant by Judge Emory
Speer in the United States court yes
terday morning in the presence of
prominent members of the Macon bar,
who represented the Interests of the
creditors in this matter. The order
passed declared R. H. Plant and the
estate of R. H. Plant bankrupt.
By order of Judge Speer the case
went to Referee Proudflt and within
days there will be a dividend and a
distribution of not over 50 per . cent,
the funds in the hand* of Receiver
orbin.
The action taken by Judge Speer
yesterday was the last of a series
which have been considered the means
saving to the creditors of R. II.
Plant an immense amount of the
funds involved. The saving of this
large amount has been the result of
the direction of litigation while the
estate was in the hands of the court.
When the court opened Attorney
Thomas B. Felder asked for an order
of adjudication and Judge Speer sign
ed it soon after the work began. At
torneys for Wallace E. McCatv* execu
tor. and Mrs. Margaret R. Plant, exe
cutrix. asked for 20 days In which to
file the schedules of the assets and
liabilities. To this Judge Speer re
plied:
The court is exceedingly reluctant
to pass any order In this case which
will embarrass counsel. It Is. -however,
true, as stated by Mr. Akermnn, that
if 20 days should be granted in which
to file schedules, 4t would be a physl
cal Impossibility ■ to hold the tirst
meeting of creditors within the period
In which the statute makes It lmpera
tlve that It should be held. I particu
larly regret that counsel should be
embarrassed at this season of the
year, but there are considerations In
this case which make It Impossible for
the court to grant any extension be
yond 'that which the law limits and
marks out. We all know how much
suffering this case has entailed upon
large clans of people who are little
able to bear It. and we must do every
thing now that the greater equities of
the case have been adjusted In such
a way that a dividend can be declared.
hasten that dividend. The poor
people need It nnd need it badly.
There are hundreds of them. Some
times we have to work right through,
except ^ Christmas day. Happily
Christmas day comes on Sunday nnd
there will be no interference with the
labors of counsel on that day. Sundny
Is dies non any way.
Mr. Dessau then asked for an ex
tension of five days, to which Judge
Speer replied:
There Is no consideration In this
case which will Justify me under the
For LaGrange. accommodation... 6:45i»n» circumstances in granting any ex-
Frm LaGrange, W. Spgs. Colum.. .11:16am tension whatever. The greatest expe
dition must be exacted.'*
In the order signed by Judge Speer
the fact was set forth that as special
master to take evidence upon the
question as to whether R. H. Plant
was insolvent nnd had committed nets
of bankruptcy J. N. Talley had been
appointed and the evidence ns taken
by him was submitted. The state
ment was further made that the at
torneys for the executor nnd execu
trix had admitted the Insolvency of
R. H. Plant nnd that he had committed
acts of bankruptcy.
This cleared the way for the adju
dication. No objection was made to
any part of the order and little trans
pired at the session of the court other
than the matters Incident to the ad
judication.
The petition of F. B. Stubbs, 8. J.
Stubbs, Mrs. 8. McAndrew and T. S.
Felder against R. H. Plant, nnd that
of L. W. Grace nnd Mrs. I* W. Grace,
Mrs. Rosalie Franks. A. W. Lane nnd
Lee Wages against R. H. Plant, were
the two papers upon which the adju
dication was secured. Those were
filed In the courts soon after the fail-
ure af the banks.
Referee Proudflt now has the case
In charge. Deputy Clerk L. M. Erwin
signed the order which placed the
case In Ids hands soon after Judge
Speer passed upon the adjudication.
He will give notice to the creditors
nnd within ten days the schedules will
he filed In bis office. He will require
all the creditors to have their claims
filed within three months, according
to the bankruptcy laws nnd the affairs
will be wound up with the regular pro
cedure.
The entire amount now in the hands
of Receiver Corbin will not he dis
tributed at once. The course which
will be followed by Referee Proudflt
is laid down In section 65 of the nets
of congress amending the bankruptcy
laws passed In 1903. This Is as fol
lows*'
"The first dividend shall be declared
within thirty days nfter the adjudica
tion, If the money of the estate in
cess of the money necessary to pay
debts which have priority and auch
claims as have not been but probably
will be allowed, equals 5 per centum
or more of such allowed claims, pro
vided that the first dividend shall not
Include more than 50 per cent, of the
money of the estate In excess of the
amount necessary to pay the debts
which have priority, nnd the final div
idend shall be declared.”
As soon as th- proper procedure
has been completed the trustee will
be elected by the creditors of the
•state and the funds will be trans
ferred from the hands of Receiver
Corbin to him. The creditors have the
privilege of electing one or three trus
tees. Two cannot be chosen. It Is
customary for the creditors to elect
the trustee or trustees at the first
meeting and this will be had a* soon
as due notice has been made and all
schedules with the names of the cred
itors have been filed with the referee.
Referee Proudflt will require all
creditors to have their claims filed
within three months from yesterday.
It has been the nurpose of the court
to wind up lltlratlon as eerly as pos
sible and place the funds In the cred
itors' hand* as speedily as possible
and the referee will follow this course
until all business has been transacted.
The ea-e goes Into his hands with
the probability of dividends to the
creditors of not less than 35 per cent.
The report of Receiver Corbin showed
in sight about 33 1-3 with the addi
tional amounts which will come from
the stock yet in the MeCaw Manufac
turing Company and in the Red Cy
press Lumber Company.

It is. therefore, without apology
that I coll attention to a little book
that comes floating In on the first
waves of the autumnal ttde.v It la one
one of the series, the "Handy Infor
mation Series" (T. Y. Crowell & Co..
It Is an 18mo. That is. it measures
about 3 1-2x5 Inches, and it contains
250 pages of toxJ.
Its tide is "Synopsis of Dickens’ Nov

but not primarily. Fur the hurried

characteristic. It l« one of many
books of reference. But thus far we
haven’t touched the real meat of the
matter. Let the author give us\n hint
of the truth In this from his preface:
"A member of the Southern literary
society wrote: ’Can you tell me where
to find an outline Htudy of "Bleak
House," or something about the char
acters? While another lover of Dick
ens asked: 'What book is Pecksniff In?
nnd wdsn’t there a man named Sap-
sea?’ "
And there we have the whole truth!
It Is for the "I,over of Dickens" wno
lshes some one to tell him what
hook Pecksniff Is In. that our patience
delver In the mines of English liter
ature has wrought.
Lovers of Dickens." "lovers of
Rhakespear,” "lovers of Balsac." "lov-
of everything nnd renders of
nothing: , members of Southern—and
Northern—literary societies who wish
outlines of "classics" and who yiil
read books about hooks until their
original Intellectual impulse, such as
It was. ds shriveled to nothingness! It
Is not enough to tempt a bonfire of all
books, good nnd bad?
It Is so foolish and false, this liter
ary twaddle nbout books by "lovers of
Dickens" who don’t know where
look for Pecksniff. If the "lovers of
Dickens" would follow up the Infor
mat ion as tn Pecksniffs whereabouts
study of his character and would
draw a needed lesson from him, there
would be some hope. But this sort
'lovers of Dickens" doesn't ask
where to find Plcksnlff In order

He. or more probably she. merely
wishes to be able to "talk" about Peck
sniff without the danger of being
stumped by some Inquirer who Is hon
est enough to own Ignorance nnd
ask embarrassing questions.
This "lover of Dickens" Is n type.
She Illustrates the emptiness and
vanity of so much that passes for ed
ucation, the falseness of so much
that pretends to be seeking of
ture. There Isn't an ounce of honesty
In It. It Is all' pretense, and it ought
to be punctured nnd flattened
wherever It is found, like every oth
er form of hypoerlcy.

From the naltlmore Hun.
PHILADELPHIA. Dee. *, Dr. Hen-
ry K. Piinenaat. the unlveralty X-rny
specialist and sklngrapher, discovered
that the continued use of the JC-rnys
King Edward, at a meeting of his
privy counoll, held ten dayp ago, pre
sented the lord high chancellor with
the new great sea! of the empire. The
one which has been in use for the lost
sixteen or eighteen years, hearing the
heraldic devices of the late Queen, with
her name and effigy, after being sol
emnly "broken” or "defaced" by the
monarch, has become the perquisite of
the lord chancellor, who, In accordance
ith cur tom, la having It converted
Into a salver hearing his own arms and
those of the sovereign.
The new grent seal of England js
constructed of finely tempered steel,
instead of Bllver, as heretofore, and
•annot ho broken. It consists of u pair
f dies more than six Inches in dlame-
•, nnd when made of silver these dies
ere three-quarters of an inch thick.
When required for the completion fit
any state document the dice are closed,
melted wax Is poured in, nnd in due
time the great senl Is ready for attach
ment. lhe pecultir shnpe of the gre».^
real has led to Its being occasionally"
devoted to strange uses, and when the
ccentrlc first Lord Brougham was lord
high chancellor of the realm, he, on one
slon,. while slaying with the Dow
ager Duchess of Bedford at Rothle
murchus, permitted the two sllve*
disks constituting the grent seal, to be
used for frying panenkes In the klteh-
n by some of the younger members of
the house party.
So great Is the Importance attached
to this emblem of British sovereignty
thnt there are all sorts of ancient laws,
still imrepealed, providing tot the cus
tody of the grent seal. One old stat
ute deolares thnt It may not be tnken
out the United Kingdom. In fact, one
of the offenses for which Cardlnnl
Wolseley wns Impeached nnd punlsheJ
during the Telgn of Henry VIII, was
thnt he had violated the law by tnklng
the great seal with him to France In
his capacity ns lord keeper and high
chancellor. The law makes It high
trenson to counterfeit the great seal,
nnd a lord high chancellor who allows
the great seal out of his own custodv
renders himself not only liable to re
moval from office, hut likewise to still
more serious pains nnd penalties.
On two or three occasions In Eng
lish history, when the grent seal
teinpQrarlly out of the ke r 'p'r.g of the
l-oncolor, statute* were en°et*:d pro
claiming the nullity of nil documents
sealed with the great seal during lio
nhrehce from Its hands. Lord Chan
cellor Thurlow loat the great seal
tiuongh the burglary of bin London
residence in Great Ormonde street,
and It was ne.cr heard of again. The
party spirit was so ntrong in those
days that Lord Loughborough actual
ly ascribed the burglary and theft to
the Opposition a* n maneuver destln
cd to cinbarrnsM the government.
laord Chancellor Eldon was In the
habit of sleeping with the great xenl
under his pillow, nnd when, on one
occasion hls house caught fire,
hurried Into the garden and burled
for safety in n flower In d. "But." says
Lord Campbell In hls matnolres:
"What between hln alarm on Lady
Eldon's account and hls admiration
of the houBemnlds In their vestal at
tire, he could not remember the next
morning the spot where ho had hidden
the seal, nnd you never SUW anything
so ridiculous ns tho whole family nnd
servants engaged In probing nnd dig
ging about III the flower beds with
sticks until the great seal whs found."
In 1888 when James II was fleeing
from England he deliberately dropped
the great seal Into the Thames, off
Vniixhall, knowing that nothing could
poMKlhly cause so much Inconvenience
to the government which hud do|H>s
ed hltn as the absence of the great
sen I, and tho Impossibility therefore
to summon Parliament or to under
take any sovereign act until a new
one was engraved. For a few days
the grent seal lay nt the bottom of
the Thnmes, until It was picked up In
a fisherman's net and restored to Its
pro|ier rustndlnn>,
In olden Mines the grent seal when
It went out of use wns broken In earn
est, usually In the House of Lords by
means of the sledge hummer wield*
by a sturdy blacksmith. But In these
modern times tho "breaking" or "do

order, and consists in a gentle tap

It waa found thnt after the treat

a month the akin on the affected part
had heroine entirely white. In aorne
way lhe plxment of the akin had hcen

During the summer Dr. Pancoist

pletion of the treatment, nnd It was
decided to make an.attempt to restore
the whitened skin to the original con

It Is thin that leads to considerable un
certainty about records of Ancient
days, since dated yeurs nfter the de
mine of a monarch, they are never the
lens found to bear hls seal.
It would have been fairer to Sir Ed
ward Clarke and to hln countrymen
the cable dispatches which gave, such
undue Import/incc to hln protest, nt the
Thoi)k»?lvlf)g dinner held In London,
against the arrogatlon of the term
"American" by the United Stales, had
added by way of explanation thnt hls
remarks were Intended an a Joke. An
imrxirtnnca has been accorded them on
this aide of the Atlantic which appears
a trifle ridiculous to those who.know
both the circumstances under which
tho utterances were delivered and who
ar«? acquainted with the orator.
Hlr Edward, though a most success
ful lawyer and one of the leaders of
the English bur. Is a singularly tactlena
nnd wrong-headed man, whose humor,
despite hln diminutive ststure. Is of
the elephantine order, and who, a self-
made man, without the advantages of
early culture and of breeding possessed
by most of his fellow-leaders of the
English bar, has the faculty of making
more enemies than friends. During
the baccarat trial. In which he defend
ed Sir William Gordon Gumming, he
contributed In no small measure to the
latter's defeat, by the manner In which
he alienated popular sympathy from
the baronet by going out of hls wsy to
assail the then Prince of Wales, con
triving by sheer lack of tact to convert
the entire controversy Into sn Issue,
not between the Wilsons, of Trnnhy
Croft nnd Sir William, but between the
latter and the heir apparent Then,
too, be made the mistake of accepting
a retainer In behalf of Oscar Wilde,
and In undertaking the defense of that
gifted, but Ignoble, creature In the lat
ter's law suit with the late Marqula of
Queens berry. It was these things, cou
pled with his refusal to give up his
private practice, that caused the solic
itor ami attorney generalship to he
withheld from him when the Unionist*
last came Into office.
Mr Edward was a <• :»>.**-pupil of
8ir Henry Irvtog at the City Com-
>mercktl School, .where he. received hls
education, and n« a leporter secured
tho means to study for tho bar. How
homely hln appearance Is may he
gathered from the fact thnt the other
tiny, when addreaNlng u workingman's
club in a locality where he was un
known, people were l.-card to remark,
"what a very Intelligent speech for u
laboring man."
In Parliament he haa been a distinct
failure. Captious, self-oplnloned, ag-
grenslve. Irritable, he seemed to g‘*t
on to the nerves of the house, nnd hls
grating manners have blinded 'many
people to the fine sides of IiIk char
acter, hls honesty, hie patriotism, hls
conscientiousness, and hln Independ
ence.
It may he ndded thnt he Is a dis
appointed man. For hls nmhltone
have been to shine as n statesman
rather than ns a great lawyer and It
was In consequence of this that he
declined a few yeara ago the master
ship of the rolls, one of the most lu
crative position!* on the bench, nnd
which ysually carries with it a seat
In thu House of l/>rds.
