SOAP

OFF-HAND, you nigh. say there

tween White King Granulated
Soap and the better brands of
salad dressing there is a close
relationship. -. For both are made
from sbe finest vegetable oils

That's the reason for the kind
consideration White King Gran.
ulated Soap shows for your sheer

White King is pure. You can

DEEDS SET ASIDE
Court Renders Decision In Elk
ton Real Estate Case

Associate Judge Levin w
Wickes, of the Circuit Court
for Cecil county, has handed
down a decision in the case OF
Thomas d. News, of ElktOn.
VS.. the Elkton Realty Company
and J. Wesley McAllister, tried
about a month ago in the Cir
cult court, Elkton, seeking to
set aside two deeds given to the
Elkton Realty Company, on
June 6, 1929, for four building
lots.
The suit grew out of a stock
transaction between McAllis-
ter, president of the now de-
funct Port Deposit Company
and Mr.. News, through Will
liam H. Fields, one of the
company's statesmen. News
claimed that he had purchased
stock in the Port Deposit Com.
pany, and had transferred the
lots in question to the quarry
ing company.
The Port Deposit Company
failed and a receiver was ap-
pointed for it on July II, 1929.
Records showed that after the
conlpany's failure the concern
owed McAllister $4,000, and he
claimed that the title to the
News real estate had been
transferred to him by an ar
rangement with the Port De-
post Company. McAllister
further stated that under an
agreement with the Elkton
Realty Company, that company
was to take title to said prop
erty for him.
Two deeds conveying certain
lots in the town of Elkton from
News to the Elkton Realty
Company appeared on the
Land Record Books of Cecil
County, but the Court passed
an order annuling and setting
aside both deeds, and declaring
them to be null and void. By
this order of the Court the
deeds to this property in ques-
ton reverted to News.
Henry A. Warburton was
counsel for T. d. News and
James H. Hughes and E. Kirk
Brown represented McAllister
and the Elkton Realty Com
pany.

AGAINST ROAD
CONTRACTOR

Work on the Colora road has
been held up this week, pend
ing a hearing before the Circuit
Court of an injunction sued out
by Emery Calvert, against con-
tractor George r. Atkinson.
The difficulty arose over the
pollution of a stream at the
gravel pit, near Liberty Grove,
where the road contractor Sc
cures material for road con-
|struction.
Mr.. Calvert's contention is
that the stream running
through his property is so pol
luted by the washing of gravel
at the pit operated by Mr.. At
kinson that the water is unfit
for his sotck to drink, or for
any other purpose. The hear
ing is set for Friday of this
week.
