There are so many contradictory
reports and opinions afloat as to the
new regulations that hunters are up

thorities claim that the state law
which permits the killing of ducks
and geese until April IS takes prece-
dence over the federal law because
the last was put into effect after the
state law became operative. which
was on the first day of July Others
assert that Uncle Samuel is supreme

MR., WEEM'S FINE WORK

Mr.. Murray Weems is a magician
In the matter of repairing furniture
and pianos, and his achieve
ments as a serial would be
full of thrills. What do you
think of his buying a French
style mahogany bedstead from Mrs.
Hayward when she moved away and
selling it to lady who lives In
Paris. And this is how it happen.
ed. Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron Burn
side, of Paris, are visiting Mrs. Hit
in Atlanta and she gave Mrs Burn
side, who is her daughter, two very
handsome mahogany tables, the kind
that can be put together so as to
furnish a banquet table indeed
These tables were sent to Mr.. Weems
to be polished up and packed for
shipment to France. Some time ago
Mr.. S. p. Blanc, who is a Frenchman
and lives in the same apartment
house with Mrs. Hit, brought a pic
ture of large round Hepple white
table with eight legs to Mr.. Weems
and asked to have one made like it.
Mr. (Weems bought the mahogany
and duplicated the model with its
inlays and tedious finishing touches
and his patron was delighted The
French bed may have been imported
to Charleston and bought by one of
Mr.. Heyward's ancestors many years
ago and it may now be only going
home.

FAMOUS APPLE TREE
BLOWN DOWN IN STORM

The oldest and largest apple tree
in COBB County was blown down by
the wind storm last Sunday after
noon 1t grew near the road On
the farm of Mr.. ]. NJ Hardage who
has lived there near Lost Mountain
fourteen years. After the tree was
uprooted Mr. Hardage measured it
and found it to be 10 feet around
the trunk. 1t grew only about 8
feet up from the roots and then
spread into immense limbs far out
into a beautiful and delightful
shade tree that bore apples of pecu-
liar goodness. They were large and
of gray messy tint and used to
hang on the tree until November.
They were especially fine for jelly,
sauce and pies. 1t was brought by a
Mr.. Kemp from South Carolina at
least So years ago and always bore
a few apples even when few other
trees did and the benefits that tree
bestowed upon it's human friends can
not be computed in words.

bers of Gov. DUNES staff was Assis-
tant Adjutant General r. ]. Shand,
of Springfield, Ill. He is a hand
some, though not imposing, man
with his bosom covered with me-
dals, gold, bronze, silver and what
ever else they are made of. Each

SOLOMON REMOVED
AS ADMINISTRATOR
Judge Loofbourow Renders a
Decision in the Raleigh
Estate Case.

| Judge j. C. Loofbourow Of the Third
| district court yesterday rendered de-
cision removing Alfred Solomon Us eX-
ecntor Of the estate Of the late A. H.
Raleigh and granting Judgment to the
heirs for $l551,79 against the admins
traitor This represents the amount OF
money which the court holds has not
been properly accounted for In the
handling of the estate.
It was brought out at the hearing OF
the case that Ii. s. Tanner, attorney Tor
Solomon, has had direct charge OF the
estate Tor seven years, ana III was
against his administration that the
heirs centered their attack, although
Solomon was made the defendant In the
formal action.
Several weeks ago the heirs entered
motion TO have the administrator re,
moved and hearings have boen held
from time to time before Judge Loor-
bourow.
Orson p. Rumel. an expert account
ant, engaged by the heirs OF the estate,
set before the court documentary eVl-
dence tending 10 show that money be-
longing to the estate had been uppro-
priated in such manner as to render no
benefit to the heirs. He introduced ev-
idencc showing that when money was
paid out by Tanner, duplicate charges
were entered against the funds of the
estate so as to show that twice as much
money had been paid out as was really
paid out.
The court gave judgment for the, en-
tire amount not accounted for IN these
duplicate charges, together with inter
est from the various dates involved.
Heirs of the estate announced after
the decision had been rendered that
further steps would be taken to collect
the amount of the judgment either from
the deposed executor or his bondsmen.
During the hearing Mr.. Solomon, q
white haired man, took the stand and
testified that he knew Of nothing wrong
with the affairs of the estate and that
if anything was wrong he wanted to
know about it, He admitted that Tan"
ner had had charge of the estate most
of the time.
'FI expect to meet old Bishop Raleigh
in heaven and / Will have to account
to him as to my stewardship of his es-
tate the old man declared on the
stand.
In rendering his decision Judge Loot
borrow mentioned each item of double
charge and charged the amount against
lie executor in favor of the heirs.
Later, yesterday, petition was filed
in the probate division Of the district
court asking for the appointment of Or
son 2. Rumel as administrator of the
estate to succeed Solomon.
