 TACTICS UNFAIR CUBACE'S RIGHTS UPHELD Chancery Directs Lists and Records of Times-Cubage Defends Peti-
 ton for Order.

Delivering an oral opinion settling the contention of J. G. Cubage, pub fisher of the Conway Times. that J B. Parker is using subscription lists of the Times in starting the Conway the Times in starting the Conway Weekly News, Chancellor Jordan Sel- lers yesterday declared the alleged practice in violation of law and the terms of sale by which Mr Cubage acquired the plant. The court held in substance that records, advertising schedules, subscription and mailing lists are tangible assets and as such were transferred when the newspaper was acquired by MT. Cubage. When this opinion had been delivered, Mir Cubage withdrew his application for a permanent order restraining the de fendant from publication of news paper in Conway.
 AS published in yesterdays edition of the Log Cabin Democrat, the court placed all records, books and accounts the property of the Conway Times placed at the disposal of the master and ordered both parties to hold them selves subject to examination. Orally Chancellor Sellers ruled against the alleged practice of Mir Parker ir using the Times subscription list for lis present paper.
 Mir. Cubage, in a statement today expressed his view of the tactics which he says MT. Parker has pursued since the Times plant was sold at auction. T don't care how many pa pers Mr. Parker publishes in Conway or elsewhere" he declared. The only interest l have is that 1 shall have exclusive use of the subscription list of the Conway Times, which l bought from MT Dunaway and Mr. Parker al public sale. Subscription lists ot newspapers are among their most val. uable assets. l purchased and paiC cash for all assets of the Times, in. clud;ng the subscription list. Wher many of my subscT tbers informed mt they were receiving not only the Con way Times, to which they had sub scribed, but also the Conway News, t( which they had not subscribed, anC some advertisers stated they under stood the new paper had the same subscription list as the Conwa! Times, l decided my property right: were being jeopardized, and wen into court and asked for an ordel which would give me relief.
 "The court ordered that MT. Parkel should not use the mailing list of thu Conway Times, stating he had nt right to such list since he had solC it to me and that any use by him ot rights. Furthermore, the court or dered MT. Parker to turn over to me all books, contracts, accounts, record and cash which belonged to the Con way Times and which had purchased among its assets. but which I haC been deprived of for more than on, month. It will easily be understoo, that the lack of these records anC contracts has been a great handicap to me in the publication of the Times When the court gave me relief b! awarding to me everything l asked for except the restraining order,
 had my attorney withdraw that par of the suit which asked for re straining order to prevent MT. Par ker from publishing a newspaper il Conway, although my purchase of tn, good will of the Times would O course carry with it the idea that thu person selling that good will woule not immediately embark in the sam' business in the same town. As l re marked in the beginning, it makes n, difference to me how many news papers MT Parker publishes in Con way, just so he lets my subscription list alone"
