Ice-Mint is a clean. creamy, snow white. non-poisonous substance and most tender skin. There is no pain. smarting or even bit of soreness while applying Ice-Mint or after wards. It acts so gently. so mag run the risk of blood poison by cut ting a corn again. M Ask your druggist for a small jar of Ice-Mint, which will cost little. yet is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callous. You'll like it immensely.

Many of the problems with which

FOUR INDICTMENTS FOUND
AGAINST W. W. BALLEW
LAWYER IN JIM SMITH CONTEST
CHAGRED WITH CRIMINAL
LIBEL AND RARRATRY.

Atehns, Ca, Nov. 30-In the Ogle-
thorpe county superior court at Lex
ington late today, four indictments
were returned by the grand jury
against w. w. Ballew, a lawyer, of
Ccrsicana, Texas, two charging Grim
inal libel and the other two charging
barratry, the libel bills having two
counts each.
These bills grew out Of alleged con-
duct Of the Texas attorney in the
litigation ever the James M. Smith
millions.
There are likely to be number of
other similar indictments, it is stat
ed, against other parties.
The criminal libel indictments are
based on the allegation that Ballew
had said that it was his opinion that
Judge HamiltonMcWhorte and Judge
D. w. Meadow were involved in
conspiracy to conceal the will of the
late Jim Smith and had secret I'M
derstanding with Judge e. X. Lump
kin, William M. Howard, Thomas j.
Shackelford, Judge John ]. Strick-
land and others, prominent lawyers
of this section, to involve the estate
in endless litigation, and that Ballew
published by writing statement that
the trial revealed an Infamous scheme
of McWhorter, Erwin, Meadow and
others to gobble up the property and
beat the Zadock Smith heirs out of
their share.
Theb arratry charges are based on
the allegation that the Texasattorney
T. O. Estes and Mozelle
Adkins Of Oglethorpe county and
rendered his legal services, endeavor-
ing to incite them to the institution
of litigation
With the federal indictment yester-
day charging j. L. WEIGH with per-
jury, and the probability of many
other indictments, widespread and in
tense interest has been revived in the
case.
