court.
Little, J.—When llie superior
court by means of an equitable pe
tition ha9 obtained jurisdiction of a
case in which a decree that the
plaintiff is the rightful owner of
land is sought, an injunction should
on application therefor by the plain
tiff by proper amendment, be grant

ination of the equitable petition
proceeding instituted after the filing
thereof, by the defendant against
the plaintiff, to distrain from rent
and to evict the latter from the pre
raises, when it appears that the pe
tition was brought in good faith and
under its allegations, was apparent
ly based on good grounds.
Judgment reversed. Al! concur

plaintiff.
P. P. Johnston and Callaway &
Fullbright for defendant.
696. Central of Georgia Railway
Company vs. Hurst, Case. Before
Judge Henry. Burke superior
court.
Little, J.—1. Giving full effect to
Ihe contract between the parties,
the railroad company could only be
made liable in the event an injury
was occasioned to the animals ship
ped, or any ot them, caused by the
npgligence of the railroad company.
While the evidence apparently pre
ponderated against the fact of negli
gence, one witness testified to facts
from which negligence might by
the jury be found to have existed;
an’iVs the verdict ha- been approv
ed by the trial judge, it can not be
said that it was without evidence to
support it.
2 There was no material error
of law committed, of which com
plaint was made.
Judgment affirmed. AM concur.

In view of the condition of the club’s
finances, as exhibited by the above statement
and of the fact that more than $200.00 in sub
scriptions was unpaid after I had spent much
time endeavoring to collect it, I refused to
pay an outstanding check lor $50.00. This
refusal was made, however, after the sub
scription list and statement of unpaid sub
scriptions, to_et er with a verbal statement
of the financial condition had been made to
the then finance committee, and with a dis
tinct statement tbat I would not pay the $50
check unless arranged by them. I under
stand this transaction has been the subject of
much talk, hence this explanation.
For this,and any and all other acts of mine in
connection with the club, I have absolutely
uo apology to offer, and were it all to be done
over, my action would be identically the
same except notoneeentof my money would
be used, expecting, the club to make good to
me.
Now in regard to the rumors circulated
about my ‘‘mismanagement of base ball
funds.” etc., which were sufficient in extent
that it was necessary for my friends to call
me from my old home where I had gone in
search of rest and recuperation, I am unable,
after dilligent inquiries, to locate a single au

A Card From Mr. J. S. MeEImurray.
I have been asked repeatedly by many per
sons my reasons for resigning the manage
ment of the Waynesboro Base Bali Club af
ter having been elected the second time. I n
explanation thereof I desire to sa 7 that Mr.
Knott told me several of the stock-holders
thought it best for me to resign in order to
lessen the expenses of the club. Thay they
would make one of the players the manager
and by so doing would cut oil' the expenses
of one man and save money for the organiza
tion. Believing this to be a true statement
of the facts I immediately sent in my resign
ation. and why in the face of his statement
Mr. W.O.Gresham waselected I do not know.
I endeavored to do my duty while I was
manager and I don’t think there is a single
soul in Waynesboro who does not give me
credit for starting the baseball movement in
Waynesboro. Obtaining very nearly all the
subscribers to the stock and with my own
hands Dartly buildingthe park fence, grand
stand, bleachers, etc I did everything in
my power to promote the interestof baseball
giving my individual time without the pay
ment of one cent for over3 months. I signed
the players who a-e here and gave to Way
nesboro the best independent baseball club
in this section of the South. I tru3t this ex
planation will place me in a proper light be
fore the public. To those contemptible
•‘mouthers” who have seen fit to severely
criticise my every action, I have nothing to
say, but leave them to their own dirty con
sciences, Very Respectfully,
JUDSON McELMURRAY.

home in Milledgeville.
—Mr. H. L, Barefield, of Sardis,
who lives on Dr. Lively’s place,
brought us a sample stalk of cotton
Wednesday, which was five feet
high, and had fully one hundred
boll3 and forms. It was the Peter-
kin variety. His corn crop is also
fine. He is one Burke’s best farm
ers and never fails to make good
crops. This was the finest stalk of
cotton we have seen this season.
Some men surely have
bright hopes ancl can see an
oasis in darkest Sahara of
doubt. For instance some
of oar pampered and favor
ed sons of the South run
ning off after the strange
God (Protection) and choos
ing the bubble wealth at the
end of Hanna's puli dinner
pail rainbow. How men
can forsake a principle to
be in “the swim’’ so to speak
passeth all understanding.
The landslide to McKinley
gave the “weak knees" and
“wishy-washies” a chance
to fall over the fence and
some turned over so fast
that some of the “patching”
from their posterior extrem
ity was snatched off in the
wheel over.
Don't you feel sorry when
a once-thought-to-b e-great
man tarns out a little “tivo
by four?" He had jar bet
ter died and thus the world
have rolled, on ignorant of
his true capacity.
Men who from their
hearts differ from each oth
er are to be admired but
those who cling tenacious
ly to a principle through a
life time and then desert it
after its greatest over
whelming defeat ought to
be held up to the scorn and
contempt of all future gen
erations.
Thus our principle “Free
Trade," even in its birth
place has enemies rising up
and waxing strong day by
day all because we have a
few little cotton factories
iron mines and other in-
dustries iliat make a pro
duct protected by the gov
ernment. If it was wrong
when the other fellow had
the factory it is still wrong
when we have it.
The Cash Concern is out
for Free Trade all the time.
Let every fellow buy his
stuff where he wants to and
tet him pay his money for
it: That’s the right kind of
ticket and ij he goes for val
ue and price, we willalways
have a dollar or so of that
fellow’s money in our pock
et. Read below and learn
