Argument on Exceptions.

Arguments on the exceptions to
Judge Edwards opinion in the case of
Ambrose l.. Spencer against Emery
and Hughes, in the suit against the
Emery Slate Picker Manufacturing
company We're heard by him in cham
bers yesterday.
Attorneys Hawley, Burns and Dom
nelly argued for the exceptants and M.
]. Martin appeared for Mr.. Spencer.
The men engaged in the suit were the
incorporators of company organized
to manufacture the Emery slate
picker.
Emery was president and Hughes
was secretary-treasurer of the COM
pany. Spencer says the others squeezed
him out Owing to this, he went into
court and asked to have the partner
ship dissolved.
A receiver was appointed and a dis
tribution of the funds was made. After
the case was heard. Judge Edwards
granted the prayer and appointed c.
Reynolds Bedford receiver. Emery
and Hughes afterwards formed what
was known as the Duplex Slate Picker
company and continued business.
Spencer alleged that the new COM
pany was designed to freeze him out
of his profits and declared that the
Duplex picker was the same as the
Emery picker. Judge Edwards includ-
ed the Duplex picker in making a di-
vision of the assets.
Emery and Hughes contend that the
court erred in appointing a receiver
after dissolving the partnership, and
that the Duplex was separate from
the Emery picker.

Wedding of Miss Alta James of Cotton Plant To MT w. D. Jones Of At lanta, Georgia Wednesday
 Morning.

Miss Alta James of Cotton Plant the niece of Dr. R. R. James was married Wednesday morning at the latter's home in that city to MT. w. D. Jones of Atlanta, Georgia, Rev. J. w. Smith of Newport officiating.
 The wedding was very informal one but the ceremony lost none of it's impressiveness or beauty through this, being witnessed by large num- ber of friends, who overwhelmed the contracting parties with congratula- tions. Among these were MT. and Mrs. John c. Hayes of Newport.
 The bride and groom wore travelling costumes, leaving on the nine o'clock train for visit to Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga, upon the comple- tion of which, they will return to At lanta, their home in the future.
 The groom is associated with the Atlanta Lithographing and Printing Company and must be an excellent young man to be worthy of so charm ing and sweet young lady as the bride in this instance, whose graces of character have won her host of friends. The INDEPENDENT joins with many Newport acquaintances in extending them most cordial wishes for welded life, crowned with hap piness and extending into ripe old age.
