The civil case of George A. Film
wood VS.. Wallace Diplock. both Of Au-
gusta, which had been opened last
| Friday, was continued Saturday MORN
| ing. In this matter the issue was re-
garding an offset of 1852 which Mr..
| Diplock claimed on a bill OF S341.9S
that he owed Mr.. Ellinwood for furni-
ture purchased, this offset he claimed
! being for his services as upholsterer
ut the Ellinwood furniture store for
1875 week at the rate of 50 per week
in addition to his regular salary as
clerk there.

for doing that sort Of work, but ne

two years ago when he went to his
present location in the store former
ly occupied by the D. w. Adams con-
