IMMENSELY OF WAR RELIEF


Army officers, civilian observers

have visited the French fighting
lines all say that the American peo-
pie do not realize the immensity of
the conflict and the tremendous de

relief organizations. In this connec.

Cross reports that it is supplying

are receiving care That is a large

JUDGE WILLIAMS WRITES
ABOUT CASE IN COURT
Editor of the Express:

Editor Of the Express:
From time immemorial the courts
of the country have been the forum
in which to try the civil differences
Of men, and our best citizenship have
condemned trying law cases in news
paper courts and this practice has
been left to Charlatans, cheap politi-
clans and shysters of the criminal
law.
The average citizen does not un-
derstand the phraseology of the
courts and that frequently a plead
ing must have technical and some
times fictitious statements in order
to escape a demurrer.
Now it was charged in the origi-
nal petition that l wantonly and
frauduently SO kept the BOOKS wlrn
the intent TO conceal the true facts
and conditions, etc. Every lawyer
here. and they all have access to
these books and examine them in
drawing their rebates, know that
these charges are not true as they
know that | did not intimidate and
coerce Miss Marth vaughn as clera
eoerce false entries. and know the
proper weight to give to these things
in charging a cause of action; but
you proceed to give it to the general
public without explanation and make
no reference to the reply made to
said charges.
Now every lawyer understands that
the purpose OF the above allegations
was to escape what is called a plea
0: the statutes of limitation and pre-.
vent short way of disposing of this
case.
One would have thought from your
paper OF a few days ago that great
trial had been pulled off at the court
house in which Judge Linn found
that | had in the bank the sum of
s4S5.77 belonging to the county and
That judgment was taken against me
and the bank. etc"
When in truth and in fact as here
in will be shown the money has been
ready at all times to be turned over
to the county when an order was
made that properly protects all par
ties concerned. Your reporter failed
to insert the following paragraph

OF which was well known by the
plaintiff and its attorneys at the
time the suit was filed. That a de.
mand was made on this bank for
the sum of $485.77, being the amount
remaining to the credit Of N. M. Will
liams; that this answering defendant
was arranging to pay said $4S577 to
said Edna T. Watkins as requested
in said notice, at the time suit was
commenced but the PLAINTIFFS attor-
ney apparently being so anxious to
advertise by great head lines in the
daily paper brought this suit and re-
fused to give this bank sufficient
time to pay said money. Further an
swering herein this defendant says
and alleges to be true that the time
Of the commencement of this suit
all of said monies had been drawn
out OF its said bank by said ~ M.
Williams except the sum OF $485.77
and paid over to Grady county or to
the court clerk of said county or to
whoever is entitled thereto; that at
the time said money was drawn out
OF said bank soon after the expira-
tion of said n NJ Williams term of
office, and said Thressa McClelland,
it was turned over to the proper Gus
tOdian of Grady county who was en-
titled to receive the same, and said
bank denies that it is now and has
been ever since the 5th- day of Jan
uary. 1915, holding said $1349,92 in
trust for plaintiff and denies that it
owes plaintiff said sum OF $1349.92,
and denies that it owes plaintiff any
interest whatever and this answering
bank says and alleges to be true
tlat the PLAINTIFFS attorney at the
time he filed this suit well knew
that this bank did not have in its
possession or as a deposit to the
credit of said Williams or McClelland
or either of them, said amount as al
legged in said petition; but that said
allegation was made as this answer
ing defendant we'll believes for the
purpose of advertising and not for
any just and honest purpose and this
defendant alleges and believes to
be true that said allegation was not
made in good faith"
Your article leads the public to be-
lieve that we had a real trial at the
court house and Judge Linn found
judgment against the bank and
against me for s4S5.77 and it appears
as if I was resisting it when the
pleadings herein set out shows that

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zeno,
obtained at any drug store for Csc, or
$l00 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis

most delicate skin. It is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
