INTERESTING SUIT.
Litigation Involving Over $30o,000
 Pending at opelika.

Opelika, June 11.-(Special.) "A very i'm portant and interesting case, involving over half a million dollars, was submitted to Chancellor Kelly yesterday in opelika on briefs for decree in vacation. It Is the case of the Alabama and Georgia Manufacturing Company and the Hugu- ley Manufacturing Company vs. the Riv- erdale Cotton Mills now pending in the Chancery Court of Chambers County.
 The property in litigation is located in Chambers County. This case has been in litigation several years in the United States courts in Georgia. The complain ants in the case lost in the United States Circuit Court in Atlanta and appealed 10 the Court of Appeals and lost there, and then took an appeal to the United States Supreme Court where the case is now pending. Under a decree of the United States Circuit Court the property in liti- gation was sold and purchased by the Riverdale Cotton Mills, a Georgia corpo- ration. This case now pending is to in- vestigate all the issues tried in the United States courts and to redeem the property sold under their decree.
 On the 10th instant the Riverdale Cot ton Mills filed an injunction suit before Judge Newman in the United States court in Atlanta to restrain the complain ants in this suit in Chambers County from proceeding with their litigation. Judge Newman granted a temporary re- straining order and notified all parties n- terested to appear before him in Atlanta on the 20th instant and show cause why the injunction should not be made perma- nent
 The Riverdale Cotton Mills allege in their bill that they have expended $350, GOO in the reconstruction of the factory and for machinery, and that the litigation be- gun in the Chancery Court of Chambers County Is to nullify the decisions of the United States courts in Georgia.
 By agreement of all the parties inter- ested further consideration of the case by Chancellor Kelly is postponed until after the decision of the application for per manent injunction before Judge New man in Atlanta on June 20.
 A number of prominent attorneys are employed on both sides and the decision is awaited with interest.
