As Go that Lavv-CaSe, and a Few
PERSONAL Matters.

| 7 IS exceedingly distasteful to me to have
to discuss any of my personal affairs In
the newspapers.
The persistent malignity of my enemies
who appear to have made combination
against me, is my excuse for the statements
which follow.
Some three years ago Mr.. Julian Tut came
to my residence, and, as agent for Mr. VIM.
X. Miller, of Augusta, Ga, proposed to buy
tract of land, some 200 acres, which [ had
purchased years before from Thos. B. Hamil-
ton.
Mr. Tut mentioned a price which was sat-
isfactory, and the sale was agreed upon.
Mr.. Miller was to pay $500 down and was
to take possession of the land, under bond for
title, giving me his notes for the unpaid pur-
chase money, upwards of So 900.
He was to have the privilege of re-selling
the land in small parcels, as he should re-
ceive offers that were satisfactory to him, the
purchase money of course coming to me, until
/ should be paid in full.
When the first note fell due, some 81 300,
Mr. Miller was either unwilling or unable to
pay it.
His agent, Mr.. Julian Tut, came up to my
house, and begged me to indulge Mr.. Miller
on the note, letting it go over for nearly
year.
While I needed the money very much, l
granted the favor that was asked of me,
stipulating that Mr.. Miller would pay me the
accrued interest on the debt; this he did, the
amount being some $500.
In the meantime Mr.. Tut, as Mr.. Miller's
agent went forward and sold portions of the
land to Mr.. B. H. Willingham and DR.. d.
Farmer, at prices considerably larger than
Mr. Miller was to pay me.
AS per contracts, gave those two gentle
men written agreements which amounted to
bonds for title.
In the summer following, Mr. Miller APP
peared at my home in his automobile
He informed me that Mr.. Ira Farmer, in
looking up the title for his brother, had dis

COld NlT. M1llGF tnat had no recollection
OF having carried the deed to the clerks Of
ice Tor record, and that, as matter of fact,
the deed had never been delivered to my
grand daughter, or to any one for her; there
fore it was null and void
[ further informed him that in lieu of the
200 acres of the Thos B. Hamilton place, I
had conveyed to my granddaughter the Oba-
dlah Cloud place, consisting of $50 acres,
more or less; / told Mr. Miller that I was
wiling to do any one Of three things
Flrst-To bind my estate in such a way
that my grand daughter never could inherit
from me, without renouncing all claims to
the Hamilton place.
Second To give any kind of indemnifying
bond, to protect the title of the Hamilton
place.
Third-To rescind the trade and return him
his money.
Mr. Miller, declining all of these PROPOSE
lions, volunteered to act as my attorney and
present the facts to the Superior Court in
order that what he called the cloud on the
title might be removed
| reluctantly agreed to his proposition Of
course [ thought he would promptly file the
necessary papers, to the next term of our
Superior Court, he promised me he would
do.
To my great surprise, Mr. Julian Tut
showed up at my house with the papers in
his possession one day too tate for that term
Of court.
Naturally I was vexed and indignant; I
REALIZED that Tut and Miller had played me
for another six months delay.
Mr.. VIM. K Miller is not the kind of
lawyer to intrust his law papers to human
messengers unless he has some purpose in it.
Lawyers generally send their papers to
Court by mail, or by express, and they are not
apt to miss the return day, unless they want
to do it.
/ called Mr.. TUFTS attention to the fact
that he was bringing me tie papers one day
Accepting the situation with as good grace
as possible, I had the papers filed for the next
term.
Ny son and his wife acknowledged service
and my little granddaughter was served by
Mr.. II. t. Clary.
/ did not go down to the Court House to
that term Of Court, but sent word to a mem

ing him to take the necessary order in the
Miller case
Hearing nothing from him or from Mr.
Miller, I assumed that the order had been
taken and that | would soon get the money
for the land.
Judge of my establishment when, after
Court adjourned [ learned that Mr.. Miller
had objected to the service on my grand
daughter, as not being made by the Sheriff,
and had continued the case another six
months in order that further service might be-
made on the little child.
Our Supreme Court has decided that ser

can be made by any one who is sui janis,

making combatiVe demonstrations, and YELL

courteous way that [ stood ready to make
them warranty titles to that portion of the
land which they had bought from Miller,
provided they would pay me, directly, the
amount OF purchase money which they were
under contract to pay to me Indirectly through
Miller
Very earnestly [ urged these gentlemen to
this amicable settlement, but to my regret
they finally rejected the proposition
Mr. VIM. K. Miller brought suit against
me, in which he alleges that the deed to my
granddaughter was never delivered and is
therefore null and void, but he claims that
damaged him several thousand dollars by dis
missing that petition which he failed to file
as per his promise to me, and which he sent
one day too late through Julian Tut
Mr. Miller did not allege that he had made
any improvements on the place; in fact, he
had made none.
Mr. Miller did not allege that I was in
solvent; in fact, he cannot make any such
allegation
But he asked the Court to give him my
land, and at the same time give him several
thousand dollars of damages, because of my
refusal to allow him to continue to trife with
me.
His scheme was to sub-divide my land, sell
1t at profit, pay me out of the proceeds, and
then pocket the remainder
He is asking the Court to give him such an
amount of damages as will equal the entire
purchase money.
If this extraordinary piece of legal leger-
dermain can be successfully put through, Mr..
William X. Miller will not only have taken
from me that portion of the land not bar
gained to Mr.. Willingham and Dr. Farmer,
but he will pocket also the full price which
those gentlemen bargained to pay him.
