WiggS-DdrneU
Suit Is Under
AdUiSenlent

Argument in the bill filed by r. J.
Wigs, former president of the Darnell-
Love Lumber company, in which Mr..
Wigs seeks to have -reseinded the sale
by him of 800 shares of stock in the
company to the concern was completed
late Thursday and Chancellor Peres
took the case under advisement. Briefs
in the case will be submitted.
Mr.. Wigs claims that the company
forced him to sell his stock in the
concern by durress and coercion. He
says that his physician advised him to
go west for his health, diagnosing his
ailment as tuberculosis. Upon this ad-
vice, he declared, he went to the head
office of the company at Leland, Miss,
and told s. T, Turner, president
of the company, of his plans and Mr..
Turner warned him that II he left he
would not be re elected president of
the corporation, that he would be paid
no salary during his absence and no
dividend would be declared on his stock.
Mr.. Wigs said he then was forced
under these threats to sell his stock.
The 500 shares he said were worth APP
proximately $240, 900, or two and oner
half or three for one, but he was forced
to sell it to the company for $150,000.
Wigs also claims that the concern
was chartered in the state of Tennes-
see and that the purchase of stock by q
Tennessee corporation by itself is void
He contends that being member O.
the firm and as the firm bought his
stock, the transaction is illegal ant
void under the law.

CHARACTER BUILDERS HAUL,
PROSPECT IN RED WAGON

How would you Hike TO be hauled two
miles to Sunday school in q little red
wagon, pulled through the city streets
by three big, strong men?
That is the way J, l., Views, OF the
Illinois Central freight office was ia
ken to the Character Builders Bible
class last Sunday morning, as the ac-
companying pictures bears witness. But
the picture does not show just how cold
II was--something like 10 below freez-
ing.
Weeks said he wouldn't go unless
transported from his home TO the class
by manual effort on the part Of mem
bers Of the class. The fact was, he
didn't want TO go to the Sunday school
at all, or thought he did not so he
believed that he was perfectly safe In
agreeing to so under the conditions
named, rejecting that his home on
Harhert avenue was fully two miles
from the Madison Heights Methodist
church wheer the class meets.
But he didn't properly estimate the
perseverance and determination thai
marks the Character Builder spirit when
matter ofpromoting the class inter
est is the issue
Fellow employees al the freight office
| who were members Of the Character
| Builders, believed that Mr.. Weeks would
| like the class II he could he induced
| to attend IT one time, and they deter
mined that no expedient should remalr
untried that might induce him to go.
So when he named condition undo
which he would consent TO so, Wrigh
Carney promptly challenged him TO sigl
an agreement TO that effect.
| In spirit OF fun he signed writ
ten statement that he would attend tn,
| class Sunday morning II transporter
| theer through the manual efforts q
members Of the class-and then forgo
all about IT,
But he wasn't allowed to forget whel
the time came to start to Sunday school
