 to attain maturity. In the meantime they will seed the ground about them and when they, in turn are cut, the next crop will have been started Thus har-

PROMOTER OF QUICK
ICE co. ACCUSED OF
MISREPRESENTATION

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Grant Quick Ice Co., is to be held
Friday to consider the present situa-
tion with regard to the company.
The promoters, G.. w. Grant and his
son, Joseph S. Grant are both under
charges of obtaining money under
false pretehses, c. w. Grant having
been released under $1,000 bond while
his son, against whom five warrants
were issued, is still in Jail.
The company was being organized
to manufacture the Grant Quick Ice
Machine and no charge is made that
are not practicable. 1t seems, how
ever, that the matter having run along
tor some months, a number of the
stockholders grew impatient, and be-
gan to investigate matters, with the
result, as claimed by them. that they
found several matters not as they
had been led to believe.
The most important item of mis-
representation seems to be in regard
to 100000 which the stockholders
say they had been assured was in the
First National Bank as a reserve over
and above the stock sold, but which
il not in existence.
II is also stated that the men are
under Indictment in Dothan, Ala, on
similar charges.
Stock has been sold. it is said, in
Polk county to the extent of $4,000
and to an unnamed amount in San
