RENDERS LARGE VERDICT Marlboro CoMon MilU Awarded Sum Of $212,492.05. {From the JBennettsville Advocate.) The biggest verdict ever given by a court, was a court in Marlboro somxty was rendered Tuesday afternoon by a jury of which W. B. Fletcher was foreman, by direction of Judge Peurifoy. It was for $121,492.05, in favor of the Marlboro Cotton Mills against the Firestone j ' ~ ' 1 ^ Air. I Tire ana rcuooer viwin><nijr, | rou, Ohio. It was stated by -Claude Gore, president of the Marlboro "Cotton Mills, (that in 1919 the Marlboro Cotton Mills contracted to sell to the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company a lot of tire fabric at $1.55 a pound. When the decline in prices *srae in 1920, the Firestone Company failed and refused to take a large fart of the fabric contracted for. By reason of the decline in price of 65 < tents a pound and the failure of the Firestone company to take the fabric, the cotton mills cia'med a loss of about $115,000. This with interest amounted to the amount >f the verdict. The cotton mills &ere represent- , ed by D. D. McColl. The Firestone company -was not represented. In it ignored the trial, claiming that the cotton mills had no right to' sue them here; that the South Caro- ^ iina court had no jurisdiction of the ease and they could only be sued in Ohio. Mr. McColl, proved, however, that by several tire dealers in Marlboro sounty mat me raresxone vwiijmiij 'bas -been doing business in this state through itheir traveling representative. C. T. Ernest, -who resided at Florence and sold Firestone tires, -collected for them, etc. that the Firestone Company had a distributing tee in Columbia and that they are advertised in a couple of South Carolina newspapers. This, Mr. McCoQ contended gave the mills the right to sue the Firestone company in the State and county. ' Judge*- Peurifoy so held and directed the verdict by default for the amount claimed. \ Harry Lauder says that his idea is to leave the Irish question to be settled by the Irish.

I WILL HAMPERS SCULPTOR Can't Execute Com minion Unles Court Civet Awenl. Chicago, Oct. 17.?The Superio: Court was today asked to constru* the will in the $400,000 estate of th< late David W. Storrs so a3 to enabl* his son, John H. Storrs, a prominen' sculptor, to complete his contract tc execute a statue of Wilbur Wrighl in Paris. Under the will the son and his sis ter, Mrs. Mary Storrs Anderson were foifoidden to live in $ny coun try other than the United States anc in the event of their leaving America they would only receive $150 j month.

Seven hundred and fifty dollar* for r a stamp! That is the fancy pr:cc that i Allen Logan, president of the Logan i Brothers Grain Company of Kansas J City, pa:U for cach of a block of four t stamps he bought at the American ) Philatelic convention at Milwaukea 11 recently. iur. Liugan 3 wwi uunoj I the ;stamps was $3,000. The stamps were inverted airplane , ones, issued in 1916, with a face value - of 24 cents each. They were designed 1 for use in the opening of the air* plane maM service in this country and t Eugene Klein, a Philadelphia stamp broker, discovered by accident that 5 the airplane on each stamp was inj verted. Acting as agent for Sol. Ed. ward Green, son of the late Hetty Green, Mr. Klein bought up the nine, ty-nine stamps known to be in existence for $20,000. Colonel Green selected the ones he wanted for his . own collection and put the rest on the market 1 Mr. Logan was in Milwaukee on business at the time of the philatelic convention and learned that Mr. Klein had a block of four of the stamps for sale Mr. Logan had an opportunity to sell them and the deal wfts consummated auicklv. Before the evening was over Mr. Logan had an opportunity to sell the stamps at. a large profit. Mr. Logan started a stamp collection when he was a boy 12 years old, ! and now has more than twenty thous' and stamps in it. Many of them are very rare among them a Baltimore, : Md., 5-cent stamp which was last val? ued at $800 and which stamp catas logues do not list now, as it is re' garded as practically priceless. 1 "I bought the airplane stamps at Milwaukee as an investment," Mr. 5 Logan says. "Figures in recent years show that there is a better market - for stamps of rare issue than there t is for standard stocks and bonds, r Their average increase in value is 10 t per cent a year." ; i Jochua in New Vocation.
