Emmet Hight. from whom she IS de-
manding cool half-million alimony.
Just now Mr.. Hight's relations with
a trained nurse who has attended him
since last September. when he was
striken with paralysis are occupying
Mrs. Nights attention. Mrs. Hight, IL
is reported, called up her husband q
few nights ago and offered to return
to him provided Miss Nata Davis, the
nurse, were discharged, but Hight re-
piled that the nurse would stick
Mrs Hight fled her suit last Tues
day but changed her mind, took d fast
taxicab to her husbands home and
stopped the officer from serving the
papers. Therefore the suit is held up
indefinitely, but the recent publicity
given 1t probably will prevent a recon-
citation.
Hight, who was known as a hard
drinker and rounder since his father
died several years ago, leaving him a
million dollars worth OF real estate,
is charged in the petition with cruel
treatment and drunkenness. Mrs.
Hight says he threatened her life,

parties. Mrs. Hight Is the daughter of
one OF the leading merchants of Col
umbus. They have one five-year old
son.

lima just In time to be out of danger.

Cole Blease will still be governor, and
probably would let 30 everything else
to seize his person and place him In
the state prison so recently emptied
by the retiring governor.
For four long years MT. Fielder has
been shut out of the Joys OF q South
Carolina visit because OF Governor
Blease's sworn intention of putting
him behind the bars on charges con-
lected with the whiskey scande, in
Carolina. Blease tried to have MIR.
Fielder extredited several times, but
tho Georgia governors would not is
sue the necessary papers. So Blease
had to wait. And Fielder let him wait.
Whenever he had to make q trip east
he was careful so to detour his Jour
ney that never for one instant was he
within the borders Of the Palmetto
State
