Appeal from Circuit Court, Sumter County; Benj. F. Elmore, Judge.
Bill for injunction by the Allison Lumber Company against W. S Campbell. From a decree for respondent, complainant appeals.
Affirmed.
Jas. R McDaniel, of Livingston, for appellant.

Bill by Allison Lumber Company against W. S. Campbell, filed in the circuit court of Sumter county, seeking injunctive relief against alleged trespasses by respondent, in cutting and removing timber from lands of complainant.
