Old English Law Effective

The invocation of an ancient English
law through which Annie Gordon San
ders was declared ward in chancery
has been effective in securing the termi-
nation of a noted case which has been
In the Admission courts for quite a while,
the supreme court of Alabama having
awarded decision Thursday by which
Mr.. and Mrs j. B. Gilmore are made
the legal guardians of the child over her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. w Sanders.
This lawsuit was one of the bitterest
In the history of local courts. The lit-
go tion started with a habeas corpus case
brought by the father of the child be-
fore Chancellor W. W. Whiteside of this
city, as result of the refusal of the
grandparents to surrender the child, who,
they claimed had been cruelty treated in
the home of her father and stepmother.
The parents won in this suit and the mat
ter rested until the parents were charged
In police court with brutally mistreating
the child. The recorder also decided in
their favor. Then the Gilmores filed a
bill in the chancery court through which
II was sought to invoke the old English
law and have the child adjudged ward
in chancery. On preliminary hearing the
chancellor decreed that the child be al
lowed to spend part of her time with the
parents and part with the grandparents
Next he decided contempt proceeding in
favor of the Sanders. and when the case
came before him for final hearing the
child was awarded to the grandparents.
The parents appealed the case to the su-
preme court. with the result that Chan
cellor Whitesides decision was affirmed.
the child remaining in the custody of
the grandparents.
This case was interesting not only be-
cause of the fact that it is said to have
marked the first time that this law has
been invoked In an Alabama court. but
because 1t was the first time that Mel
p. Sterne, the young Annistonian who
smashed ell records in capturing honors
at the Yale law school. was arrayed
against Knox, Acker & Blackmon. under
whom he received his first lessons. Mr..
Sterne was chief counsel for the Gil
rores.

DEMONSTRATE USE
OF COTTON OIL

| Ten years ago the use of cotton oil for
edible purposes was In its infancy. Today
the Southern Cotton Oil company sells
annually 100000 barrels to bakers and
others for this purpose. Bakers soon
found that the oil goes further and is
more convenient to use, because of its
| liquid form, 1t being their custom TO
melt whatever fat they put in bread
The use of this oil has kept within
reasonable bounds the cost of other fats
the production of which has not kept
pace with the world consumption. The
Wesson process deserves the credit Of
bringing about this large increase in the
use OF cotton oil, which has conferred
the beenfit of cheap fats upon those who
90 not use it, as well as those who
do, by increasing the supply of edible fat
The south Is by far the largest con-
sumner of oil, as well as snowdrift hogless
lard made from cotton oil. and is rapid
| ly becoming independent in respect TO
tat supplies of the corn and hog produc-
ing states.
The supply of cotton oil is not amply
sufficient for the total wants of the
south, and it is merely a question of edu-
cation when all the requirements of the
south will be filled by the home products
Of the cotton plant.
Leading up to this much-to- be -desired
Southern Cotton Oil company HWesson
Snowdrift Lard This new quality, the
origin of which has been described, has
been in use under the older brand Of
Wesson cooking oil for about three
months.
The public has not failed to appreciate
this as Is shown by the fact that the
sales of case oil in tins for the last tgo
months has doubled those of any equal
time in the past.
Atlanta alone, in two months. has taken
1000 cases, equal to 10000 two pound cans
