Rogers and Joiner Company case in Macon court
In Macon, April 24, the Rogers and Joiner Company case saw Br Morrison Rogers seek to block Home Savings Bank from further action on a fall travel case. Rogers posted a $3000 bond for his appearance, while claiming malicious actions to hinder his defense in related matters. The bank’s loan of 32400 on warehouse receipts is challenged as Rogers says many seed cotton tons were sold without his knowledge. The hearing continues with accusations and accounting promises from Rogers.
