FOR FUTURE DEALS
OYER $17,000 IS INVOLVED
Case of Maybaak Against F. )f. Rogers
to be Tried In Florence
on Its Merits.
Columbia, May 6.?The supreme
court ruled yesterday that no cotton
can be sold in South Carolina unless
the bona fide delivery of the cotton
is intended. It is emphasized by the
court that the cotton must be delivered
to make the contract efflective.
The decision by chief justice Jones
sustained the circuit judge wno overruled
the demdrrer in the case of
.Maybank & Co. against F. M. Rogers,
of Florence. The amount involved
is $17,187.61. The cas ewill now go
back to the Florence county court
to be tried on its merits.
The demurrer overruled by Judge
<Jary was upon two causes of action,
involving contracts for the sale and
-delivery of cotton.
Two Contracts.
In the complaint it is alleged that
F. M. Rogers agreed to sell to Mayhank
& Co. 500 bales of cotton to be
delivered at Florence between September
15 and December 30, in 1909.
The price, according to the contract,
was 10% cents a pound. In the complaint
it is stated that it was the
bona tide intention of both parties
that the cotton should b cactually
delivered. It is further alleged that
F. M. Rogers failed to deliver the
cotton, i and that on December 31 the
kind of cotton in question was worth
lilU cents Der Dound. On this case
the sum of $11,568.50 was claimed as
th te o.-llvered at Flfreuce between
vejit-wlei 15 and December l of
100? at the price of ll^i ccuts tier
pound. It is alleged that tl? ? market
price of the cotton on Decess.o^-r 2
"was 13^ cents per pound. Dama{8
Id this case for $5,625 were
claimed.
Grounds of Appeal.
F. M. Rogers sought to have the .
contract thrown out on the following |
grounds:
"Because it appears that the parties
did not intend an actual delivery of j
the cotton, and that the transactions |
were mere wagers as to the rise and I
fall of the cotto nprice. I
"Because it appears that plaintiff i
