LAWYERS STAGE
FIGHT OVER FEES
Matter OF Fees In Harrison
Johnston Estate Case Be
fore Chancery Court.

A unique legal fight was staged in
the chancery court yesterday after
noon.
1t was a fight over fees between
lawyers. THE Aberdeen bar, or the
heavy weights of the neighboring
towns legal talent, supported by
Judge Robbins of the Tupclo bar was
arrayed against the phalanx of the
Columbus bar.
The fight grew out Of the matter OF
attorneys and executors fees in the
csyate Of the late Harrison Johnston,
Messrs Houston and Houston, who
represent the executors Of the estate
came down from Aberdeen yesterday
end brought legal talent and opinion
as endorsements. Whcl the mat
ter came up for hearing they put
Judge j. @. Robbins Of Tupelo on the
stand who testified that $4,000 at
torney fee and $4,000 executors fees
was fair and reasonable for the hand
ling of the affairs and litigation of
.he estate which amounted to $lO2,-
600. Judge Robbins testimony was
supported by that Of Mr. Tubb who
had a similar opinioa as to the reas-
enable fee.
This testimony startled counsel foi
the legatees of the estate, Messrs
Sturdivant, Owen, and Garnett, and
Col. William Baldwin, and they call
ed hurried conference Of the mem
5ers Of the Columbus bar present in
he court room.
The local bar then went into action
rs low pressure units, and paradox
al as it may seem, they tore the big
zee opinions all to pieces, and the re-
saltant oriHion among them was that
$4,000 for the attorneys and a like
sum for the executors was fair, and
lust and reasonable.
The Court decided: Attorneys
'ees $500, executors $4,000.

"The automobile tax is now paid

"Of course, the total amount of

weeks. Would be glad for your as
sociation to select committee of three,
to be in Washington April Il, for
special conference on factors to be
considered in estimating cost Of pro-
ducing cotton"
For the purpose Of estimating the
cost Of production by the producer,
by the experienced business man and
by the experienced banker, ] have
selected various men from our State.
The result is aptly furnished by the
following statements, which are in
line with the various statements re-
cetved. These statements are from
three men Of unquestioned veracity,
Ane business judgment, long business
experience and men who have been
actively engaged in farming for over
a quarter of a century; men who
would not purposely make mislea6-
ing statement, even though they felt
satisfied it would result in assisting
us to win this campaign, regardless OF
the deep interest they feel in the sue
cess of this movement for the COM
mercial freedom Of the South
Cost Of Production illustrated on a
one-Horse Farm Of Fifteen Acres,
Planted by J. M. Holman.
The production Of this farm is tased
on a ten.year average production OF
Calhoun county.
I have been farming for thirty-hve
years, and have also been actively en-
gagged in cotton for the past ten years.
All past years must be left out Of any
calculation In finding the cost Of the
1919 crop, for the reason that all val
ues have advanced out Of all reason.
Labor and fertilizers cost three times
as much as they did at the beginning
of the war.
The calculations herein are made
with the actual cotton planted on this
one-horse farm, and the expenses are
figured only for the actual working
period, my only object being to ind
out what IT will actually cost to pro-
duce a pound Of cotton. The owner Of
this farm gets nothing for himself out
of this farm except his proht Of $3.50
and he will not get this profit II his
cotton is damaged by storm or other
wise and is reduced in grade, also pro-
vided he gets thirty cents for his cot.
ton and $50 for his seed. I have not
charged this farm with any expense
for hoeing. expect the plowman to
have time to do this work.
