When the City and Suburban

that the great organization, the
Young Men’s Club,.will be the
buyer. That is the company
which the club is organizing,
known as the City and Interur

over. Those who have worked
so hard for the formation of the
company are just as active as
ever, knowing that th discon

untold harm to Brunswick and
it is time to buy stock —buy it

Liberty bonds during the war.
Get in touch with George C.

ARGUMENTS MADE
ON DENIAL NOTES
OF WM RAILROAD
Validity of the Act Authorizing
Sale of Certificates is
Being Tested.
BY AN AGREEMENT CASE
TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT
Governor Hardwick, Supporting
the Act, is Represented by
Attorney General George M.
Napier, While Arthur Powell,
as Special Counsel, Appeared
For Comptroller General
Wright.
Atlant3, Oct. 3. —Arguments in the
test case involving the validity of the
act authorizing the governor to dis
count the rental of the Western & At
lantic Railroad for a period of five
years were presented to the
state supreme court.
Public Debt. •
Governor Hardwick, supporting the
act, was represented by Attorney Gen
eral George M. Napier and Judge Ar
thur Powell as special counsel. Comp
troller General Wright, opposing the
act. was represented by General ClK*
ford L. Anderson.
The principal arguments advanced
by General Anderson in opposition to
the validity of the act was thta a sale
of the rental of the
lantic Railroad for an advance period
of five years might impair the value
of the property, and further that the
constitution makes the property and
its future revenue a part of what is
known as the public property fund of
the state, which must be applied to
the public debt if turned Into cash.
Powell’* Argument.
Opposing these contentions, Judge
Powell argued that the constitutional
pus of the Inonofty and not td its ren*
tal, as evidenced by the fact that the
rental has been appropriated from
year to year by the legislature ever
since the constitution was written. As
to Impairment of the sale *3lue of the
property, he said the constitution
contains nothing *o prevent such im
pairment, as the legislature might
lease It for a dollar a year so far as
the constitution Is concerned.
The Caae.
The test case was brought by agr.e
ment between Governor Hardwick,
the Bank of Tirton and Comptroller
General Wright to test the validity of
the act passed at the last wskn of
the legislature. Governor Hardwick
drew a warrant on the treasury for
SIO,OOO, maturing at a future date,
and secured by the rental. The bank
discounted the warrant and presented
it to Comptroller Wright for paymeftL
He declined to approve the wnrrary
and mandamous porceedings were in
stituted against him in Fulton supe
rior court, where a mandamous abso
lute was Issued. The case then was
taken to the supreme court on a fast
bill of exceptions.

MRS.6.S. SCARLETT
HAS PASSED AWAY
Lovable Woman, After Illness
Extending Over Long Period-
Takes Last, Long Sleep.—
Funeral ’at Family Burial
Held Yesterday Morning.
While expecting the worst for the
past several days, the hundreds of
friends of Mrs. George S .Scarlett,
were grieved to learn that this lova
ble woman breathed her last at 4
o’clock Sunday mdrning, at her home,
Oak Grove, near Fancy Bluff. Some
thing over a year ago Mrs. Scarlett
was stricken with paralysis but had
improved, this only to be followed by
heart trouble, which resulted fatally.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Virginia Sherrod Tison and was born
March 4th, 1847, at Bethel, this coun
ty. She wgs the daughter of the late
John Mason Tison and Ann Green Let'
Mitchell, of Thomas county this state,
and was united in marriage to George
S, Scarlett at the close of j.he Civil
were born, ten of whom still survive,
these are: Mason T. Scarlett, Frank
M. Scarlett, Robt. M. Scarlett, of Oak
Grove, Mrs. Jacob L. Beach and Mrs.
Albert Hilsman, of Brunswick, G. S.
Scarlett, of Birmingham, Ala. Mrs.
B. A. Daniels, of Tampa, Mrs. Frank
A. Dunn and Miss Pauline Bcarlett, of
Augusta, and Miss Meta Scarlett of
Atlanta. Besides these deceased
leaves one brother, W. Scotia Tison,
and two sisters, Mrs. Harris M. Bran-1
ham and Mrs. James g. Wright, of J
Brunswick.
Two great bereavements, which
came to this good woman in recent
years, probably hastened the end.
The first was the loss of Julian I.
Scarlett, who was on the collie* Cy
clops, when It disappeared from the
sea. no signs of a single soul of the
nearly three hundred who wer
aboard the ill-fated vessel, nor has
any wreckage from the ship ever been
found and It has gone down In marine
history as one of the real mysteries
of the sea. Her gallant, handsome
son. Julian volunteered when coun
try declared war and was assigned
to this vessel. As stated while Mrs.
Scarlett had one other great loss, she
seemed to have been unable to be
come reconciled to the mysterious dis
appearance of her fcoy. Only a few
months ago Miss Helen Scarlett, her
mother’s constant companion, was
suddenly stricken and her useful,
young and beautiful life was taken
These two sad events were borne
with that Christian fortitude which
characterized the entire llfst of the
deceased, but, try as she would, her
thoughs would go to these departed
dear ones and although her loving
children, her devoted sisters and the
words of comfort from her many oth
er relatives gad friends in the loss of
these there was no comforting and
surrounded by her loved ones, the end
came peaceful!v.-
The funeral services were held yes
terday morning a 10 o’clock conduct
ed by slcv. Snyder pastor of the little
church where she bad worshipped so
many years and interment was in the
family burial grounds, near her home
and there where she has seen so
many joys and sorrow, too, this good
woman will rest in peace.

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 3.—One of the most
rapid and exciting movements of spec

change occurred today in connection
with the government publication of
the crop report.
After an early rise of unusual pro
portions, prices broke violently
when the report showed conditions

Report Caused Break.
Washington, Oct. 3, —A further de

plague of boll weevils has advanced
almost to the limits of the belt, being
through the lower third of North Car
