Green, now <i < eased, and threatened publicly t<> make Watson right said wrongs, or stand for a "cowhiding" at the hands of Mercer.

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.

SIOO At Drug and Dept. Stores. 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.
