The case of the Fowler-Flemisier
Coal Co. vs. the City of Milledgeville,
mayor and aldermen for permanent
injunction was heard before Judge
J. B. Park at the court house, Mon
day.
,The case was that of the city hav
ing leased a portion of Wilkinson St.,
adjoining the property of the Fowler
-Flemister Coal Co., to Mr. Hugh T.
Cline. The Fowler-Flemister Coal
Co. filed a petition for injunction to
restrain Cline from going into pos
session of the portion of Wilkinson
street sought to be leased, and to re
strain the city from carrying out the
terms of its lease contract.
The case turned upon the construc
tion of the amendment to the city
charter of the acts of 1909. Thi s act
gave the city the right to sell public
streets when in the discretion of the
mayor and aldermen it was for the
best interests of the city and its in
habitants.
The mayor and aldermen by the
city attorney, Col. Livingston Kenan,
contended that under the statute, the
sale or lease of the streets was a
discretionary power vested in the
mayor and aldermen over which the
courts had no jurisdiction. The Fow-
levFlemister Coal Co., by their at
torneys, Messrs. Sibley and Sibley,
contended that under this statute the
decision of the mayor and aldermen
in the leasing of the street of the
city, was limited to cases where the
public interest was involved, and not
the private interests of the individual
citizen. The court held with the
plaintifTs and issued a permanent re
straining order.
The case was warmly contested by
the attorneys of each side, and con
sumed the entire morning. The de
cision will probably have an import
ant effect upon the control of the
streets.
NEGROES LOSE LIVES
IN THE OCONEE RIVER
Ben and Charley Dean Were
Drowned Saturday After
noon Near City.
A Union Revival Service commenc
ed in this city Sunday morning.
The services are being conducted
by.Rev. Frank E. Wright, the noted
Indian evangelist.
During the present week services
are held twice daily at the Methodist
church, the hours being at 4:00
o’clock in the afternoon and 7:30 in
the evening.
From 11:30 to 12:00 o’clock in the
morning, services for the business
men are held at the Palace Theater.
These services only last one-half an
hour, and are very interesting.
Mr. Wright has made a most pleas
ing impression upon all who have
heard him. He preaches with an
earnestness that convinces his hear
ers that he is a man of deep conse
cration and piety. He makes no ef
fort at sensationalism hut presents
the great truths of the Bible in a
clear and comprehensive manner. His
enunciation is plain, and every word
that falls from his lips can be dis
tinctly understood. He believes in
the efficacy of prayer, and impresses
his congregations with the fact that
he depends upon the spirit, of God for
results.
It is believed by many that his
preaching promises to be more ef
fective than that of any evangelist
heard in the city in many years.
Mr. Wright is also a sweet singer,
and at every service he sings a solo
which always reaches the hearts of
his auditors.
Miss Mary Dan Harbison, a noted
singer of Kentucky, who always as
sists Mr. Wright in his meetings will
arrive in the city today and sing at
to-night’s services. Miss Harbison has
won a distinct reputation as a singer
in religious gatherings.
All the services held Thus far have
been attended by largo congregations,
and the numbers will Increase as the
days pass.
The services this week are being
held at the Methodist church. Next
Sunday they will begin at the Pres
byterian church for a week.
The third week they will be at the
Baptist church.

The play was a comedy in three

The large audience was most pleas

in their praise of the play, and the
manner In which. It was presented.
Those who knew Mrs. Hines had
expected a play which would be par
excellent, and they were not in the

it upon themselves, ag they acted
their characters perfectly.

of the entertainment.

Mrs. Hines, Prof. Reynolds and each

Work on the government building
has been suspended, and we learn that
the indications are that it will be some
time before it will resume. The work
was stopped because the stone had
been exhausted, aud it was impossible
to continue without ir.
It is rumored that another shipment,
of stone may not Ee expected at an
early date, as it has not even been or
dered.
The first con'mt c .lied for the com
