Has Refused Several Shipments Ten
dered By Brunswick Wholesale ,
Houses —Handles Only Mal
lory Line Freight.
Brunswick merchants have a ser
ious kick against the frtfih water
steamer tNan Elizabeth, which has
been running between Macon and
Bruswlck for the past several months
and unless some changes are made
by the company which intends io
operate a regular line hereafter, the
new company will receive a cold water
reception In Brunswick.
Wlille the line could mean consid
erable to Brunswick, In the past it
has served only as a comp liter to the
city, according to the statement of
several leading wholesale flyms.
The .whole trouble seems to be
that the Nan refuses to take freight
offered by merchants for river points
but when she leaves Brunswick her
cargo is made up entirely of freighr
from the Mallory steamer for river
points and Macon. , , ,J tSSmSi *
It is known that several weeks ago
the Downing Company tendered, the
Nan a shipment for one bf iffp jxlintr.
touched by" the steamer/ bat the
freight refused and ho .excuse
given, tt Is known that
other wholesale houses have tender
ed the Nan freight with Ihe same
result. ' MS-
On the other hand when the steam
er leaves Ma on she takes freight
from all the merchants of that cUv
for any point along the river. It can
therefore be seen that the line is dis
criminating against, the Brunswick
merchants, Local concerns have
many customers along the river route
and they could ship the freight, via
the Nan at a reduced freight, rate
but under orders from somebody, the
commander will not accept the
freight, it is aIBO stated that the
Nan har, refused to bring cargoes to
this city tendered at points along tlie
river.
Just why this discrimination no one
seems to 'be in position to say but
the Nan will either have to change
her tactics of the new company, which
has just been organized in Macon,
under the name of the Macon ana
BrnnsvrtcK Navigation Company, will
meet rather a warm reception at this
end of the line,
A line of boats on the Octnulgce
and Altftmaha rivers between Macon
and Brunswick could be made a paying
investment, but ft will have to be
fair to ail places touched by the
steamer. If the Macon merchants
want t<* get the business in Bruns
wick's territory they must go out
after it, for it can never be done
by shipping over the Nan, when she
refuses to take freight from this port.
Brunswick now enjoys an excellent
business from many of the points
along Che two rivers and all freight
nfra- Iho Tfllll'flflilfi Wl 111

a regular line of steamers
run all freight would be to
them, which would pay handsomely
to the owners of the steamers.
If the line is put in operation as is
anticipated, some changes will cer-
made, because the
Brunswick merchants will ship over
U and expect the steamers to accept
freight.

DECISION IIF
IMPORTANCE
: ——
Has Just Been Banded
Down By Judge Emory
Speer
MUCH LAND IS INVOLVED
Thousands of Acres on the Ocmul
gee River, Near Lumber City,
Was in Dispute in Case
Which is Just Decided.
The opinion of Judge Emory Speer
in the case of William M. (fuddle
compliuuinaiit, against Frank li. .fftun
ami others have been received and
tilt'd in the clerk's office.
Tho complainant ks a citizen of
Not Ih Carolina and brought his lit 1 i
to dissolve a partnership composed or
the three defendants and hftnself.
Ihe ease involves about twenty five
thousand acres of valuable hard wood
tinier on the Ocniulge river near
Lumber City. The pan ms in the
caSe signed an agreement- to acquire
options on this timber land and sell
it at the profit that would arise from
the increased values of getting a large
body of land together so that the tim
ber could be readily milled.
Mr. Uaddio alleges in the bill that
Mr. Maun was attempting to exclude
him and his other partners from all
protits in the business. The case tried
at lake Toxawny was on a rule to
show cause 'why the temporary in
junction ai*L receivership should am
be made and on a motion
by the defer,dant'**’,',ym u> give bon 1
and have the proper turned over to
him by the receiver.
Judge Speer held that Goldie hau
brought Ills bill in proper form and
that the Atourt had jurisdiction. 1L
also dotted that the defendants
vem-wnlfol the partnership options
in hiv own name and attempt to ami
the timber to Ids own advantage whs
an exclusion of the other partner
from their rightful share ofp tin
pt-cfils. He therefore continued tin
receivership and injunction and di
lut'd and ttie defendants motion to give
bond on the ground, among other
tilings, that the property should re
mtain in the impartial hands of the
receiver.

audience was large anti the applause

there have 'been few hills at the cas
