® BDYDHEIRWITH SHOTGUNS
Denounces Mercer's Attack as
Entirely False, and Asserts
All Are Content.
Jnhn F Stoudenmiro. of Flint. Ga
wife is one >»f the heirs of the
Boyd estate, which State Game and
Fish Commissioner Jesse Mercer ar
cuses Thomas E. Watson of looting in
a fake" lawsuit for a mere fee. hns
come to the defense of the "red-headed
person" He declares Mr Watsons
connection with the settlement of that
estate was entirely satisfactory to the
Boyd heirs, and that the only grievance
those heirs have against anybody is
against Mercer himself
Commissioner Mercer became very
much worked up over the alleged
wrongs Watson has inflicted upon the
Boyd heir- an I Watson'- !$» partner.
Green, now <i < eased, and threatened
publicly t<> make Watson right said
wrongs, or stand for a "cowhiding" at
the hands of Mercer.
Watson promptly denied all wrong
doing and said that but for the law
suit he d d bring against M>r< er. who
happened to be one of the Boyd estate
executors the heirs would have beer
left high and dry with practically
nothinr. and that, as it was, he forced
Mercer to 'disgorge" slß,oo*l.
Hands One *o Mercer.
Now com -- Stoudenmire, husbtutfc of
ore of th< Boyd heirs, and. sppgSCvig
for his «if' and several .other
upholds Watson against Mercer, inci
dentally handing Mercer a pretty
straight line of talk.
Mi Stoudenn\li;e says:
As my wife - one of ihti heirs
referred to b; Je-s<- Mercer. I con
sider his thrust a direct insult to
those heirs referred to, as well as
to Mr. Wat sop • ■ • . . . •
As to Watson and Green "in
ducing and luring" u.s into the law
suit. tin charge is absolutely false
and the. i i-■ no. a word of truth
in it. Mrs. H. 1.. West, then of
Cottohton. Ala., but now of Rich
land Ga.. tired the first, gun in
opening aid lawsuit, She wrote
Mr. Wat?<?ti. asking him In regard
to representing her. About the
same lime I was communicating
with John .Mercer in regard to my
wife's part of the estate. 1 told
Mr. Mercer that we needed our
money and that we wanted It He
wrote that he didn't doubt that we
needed it, but that we couldn't get
It. About this time, 1 received a
letter from Mrs. West, stating
what she was doing, and asked me
what 1 thought about It. We got
bust and employed Matson and
Green to represent us.
Messrs. Watson and Green treat
tis nicely, and we were satisfied
with th< service th<t rendered, but
we have not been and ate not sat
isfied with the treatment received
at the hands of John and Jesse
Merer-
In regard to Mr Watson "steal
ing" the fee of Mr. Green. I don't
believe there is a word of truth tn
it. Mr Green arranged the set
tlement himself.
In the meantime, advice from Thoni
eo.fi the house of the “red-headed per
son.” is to the effect that Watson has
not vet been 'cowhided" by Mercer,
or anybody e s< and Is not in the least
afraid that he will he.

WEST DISINFECTING CO- ATLANTA
Land Owners Prevent Erection
of Transmission Lines From
Tallulah Falls to Atlanta.
TURNERSVILLE GA. June St-
Armed with shotguns. lit R B Strib
lin and George T, Striblin are today
defying the Georgia Railway & Power
Company to erect its transmission
wires from the Tallulah Fails power
plant to Atlanta over their property,
near here. Meanwhile a foreman and
construction gang are idle. The foreman
says: “We take their word that they
will shoot "
The Striblins have asked an injunc
tion to prohibit the company from
erecting Its wires over their land and
are relying on th.- shotgun defense un
til the courts act.
Some time ago the power company's
right-of-way agents negotiated with
the Striblins for right-of-way ovei
then property for the transmission
lines. The Striblins entered into an
agreement, with certain reservations,
the contract to be signed the next day
In the meantime the property was deed
ed to minor children. Before signing
the contract the Striblins notified the
power company's representatives of this
deed, and w ith this knowledge the con
tract was signed.
More recently the Striblins have
erecting a manufacturing plant on the
land and are contending that one cor
poration can not condemn property
held by another corporation for right
of-way. The power company paid a
cash consideration of $250 at. the time
the contract was entered into. The
company is out this amount until the
courts decide the case
DIAMOND FROM KIMBERLY
IS SHOWN BY E. V. HAYNES
A diamond in the rough, just as it
comes from the Kimberly mines, a
beautiful Oriental ruby, valued at
Jl.tiOO; any number of gorgeous gems
valued at from SSOO io s4.ooh—these ar
on display at the Eugene V. Haynes
Company’s store. The firm has ar
ranged this exhibit for the gratification
of all who rejoice In the splendor of
the scintillating lights of the. diamond
and the various pure shades of other
precious .-' es.
This is *' only display of the kind
that ha« • n placed before rhe' eyes
of the Atlanta public in some time.
It offers an unusual opportunity for the
admiring gaze of the passerby and th.-
closer observation >f those more in
timately interested.
A diamond In the rough Is not an
object of every-day observation, nor
l.s 'I often that so valuable a diamond
is put on exhibition. The Oriental
ruby, one of the largest of Its kind,
is of purest tone and of unusual bril
liancy.
