PEOPLES PHONE
 CASE NOT CLOSED
Withdrawal Only Involved a
 Preliminary Injumc- Q ton

The suit filed by T. A. Davenport against the Peoples Home Telephone company and the Southern Bell Tele- phone company is still pending before Judge Sharpe of the city court. The withdrawal of the petition for a pre- liminary injunction was but an incident ia the proceedings and does not effect the merits of the case.
 On Saturday the matter will be talSen up again and the argument on the demurrer filed to the suit will begin In the event Judge Sharpe decides there IS equity in the suit filed by MT. Day. enport the matter will be tried on it's merits.
 Messrs. Thompson & Thompson, who represent the complainant, gave out the following statement:
 "The impression left on the public mind by reports in the press concern Ing the effect of the withdrawal of the application for temporary injunction to restrain the merger of the Peoples Home Telephone company and the Southern Bell is erroneous. There has been no abandonment of the proceed ings and will not be until the cause is finally adjudicated on it's merits.
 'The question before the court Wednesday was merely an application for temporary injunction. The with drawal of that application has noth- ing to do with the merits of the bill, which is still pending and which will shortly come up for hearing on it's merits. The application for temporary injunction can be renewed at any time. However. the final hearing on its mer- Its will accomplish the same end
