What Liquozone Is.

Liquozone is not a medicine It is not
made by compromising drugs, not made
with alcohol. The virtues of Liquozone
are derived solely from gas=largely
oxygen gas-by a process requiring i'm

make one cubic inch of Liquozone we
use 1880 cubic inches of the gas. The
process has, for more than 20 years
been the constant subject of scientific
and chemical research.
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does Oxygen is the nat

EXCESSIVE LEVY
CLAIMED IN SUIT
ACTION AGAINST CONSTABLE.
FURNITURE WORTH 500 USED To
SATISFY DEBT OF $1.2O.

SaIIie TimmOns Brings Suit for Her
self, and in Name of County Conn
missicners Against officer Hum
phries and Sureties and Against
Atlanta Loan Com pany-Agreed to
Pay so Cents n Month Interest and
Got in Hard Luck-Cost PIaintin
800 TO Replace Goods.
Suit was brought yesterday against
Constable James NJ. HUMPHREYS and
his bondsmen. Patrick Buttimer and
Charles F. Keilbach, to recover the
sum of 500 claimed TO have been lost
by an alleged breach of the bond in
making an excessive levy. The Allan
ia Loan Company, composed of A. B.
Green and H. L. Drake, are also made
defendants to the suit.
The petition was filed in the Superior
Court in the name of the commission
ers of Chatham county, for the use of
Sallie Timmons and by Sallie Timmons,
individually, and grew out of a loan
secured by the woman from the At
lanta Loan Company. The plaintiff is
colored.
1t is set out in the petition that Sal
lie borrowed 81 from the loan company
during the month of April, agreeing to
pay so cents per month interest. For
security bill of sale was given for a
bedstead, dresser, kitchen safe, wash
stand, center table. chairs, rockers
! trunk. towel rack and bed Stats, al
valued at $50
After making the first interest pay
ment the plaintiff got in financial
straits and was unable to pay any
thing more. On July 80 the loan COM
| pany foreclosed their bill of sale for
$1.20, the levy being made by Con-
stable HUMPHREYS.
1t is charged in the petition that
whereas this levy was on all of the fur
niture enumerated in the bill of sale,
ii should have been on a much smaller
part, and that therefore the levy was
excessive. 1t is alleged that a much
smaller part of the furniture would
have been sufficient to have satisfied
the execution.
Mr.. Buttimer and Mr.. Keilbach as
sureties, were made defendants under
the following clause of their bond:
| Should the said James H. Humphries
well and faithfully perform all and
singular duties of his said office during
the term he may continue therein, as
prescribed by law, then this bond to be
void. else TO remain in full force"
The petition alleges further that the
furniture which was necessary to re-
place the articles levied on cost the
plaintiff 500, which is the amount sued
for. Attorney Simon N. Gazan repre-
sents the plaintiff.
