The case noted above was one of the largest and hardest fought cases J I^AWA T4- rnoo o eillf f AT* C V CI ueaiu llCiC. I 0 tvo,o a uuii. xv* $50,000 damages for alleged personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff while in the employ of the defendant company as engineer at their large ' lumber plant near Ulmer. It appears that Mr. Coney climbed a ladder in the mill to hang a belt on a hook and fell therefrom, sustaining serious bodily injuries. The plaintiff contended that the ladder broke, and that the defendant should have provided a secure ladder in order to insure his safety. The defendant contended that the ladder slipped because of the negligence of the ' plaintiff in not placing it properly, and also that the injuries sustained were not of such serious nature as claimed by plaintiff. The plaintiff was represented by Mayfield & Freet of the local bar; Harley & Best, of Barnwell; and Nelson, Nelson & Gettys, of Columbia; while Carter & Carter, of this city, represented the defendant company. The case may come up for trial ^ "x * again at the March term of court 1 next year. A number of witnesses were here to testify in the case, among them being Drs. Knowlton and Gibbes, of Columbia, who had examined Mr. Coney while he was under treatment at the hospital of Dr. Knowlton in Columbia, immediately after the accident. Mr. Schofield, of Philadelphia, secretary and treasurer of the company, was here, as was also Mr. David E. Pifer, manager of the mill. Several employees >V-'- . of the mill were also here as witnesses. Thanksgiving Services. Everybody in Bamberg is invited to attend Thanksgiving exercises at the Baptist church Thursday, 7:30 p. m.

M ? he Sues for Loss of Husband's Gayety. p. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 25.?Although w] John 'Hensler accepted $1,500 from the Polar Ice & Fuel Co. for injuries ty due to a fall into a vat of boiling water, his wife still has a right to ar sue the company for the loss of his la( society and the fact that he has lost j0, his enjoyment of any kind of gayety. This novel point was decided by Judge Muench, who overruled a de- g murrer filed by the company's lawyers to the wife's suit for $5,000. The judge declared that the settle- M. ment made with the husband did not ^ destroy the wife's right to sue for Jo the privations she suffered. . Mrs. w Hensler says her husband will not now even attend a moving picture show. CHILDREN CRUSHED TO DEATH. an Over Fifty Killed in Moving Picture ci1 Panic in Spain. Bilboa, Spain, Nov. 24.?A terrible ^ panic was caused this afternoon by , by the cry of "fire" at a moving picture show here. About fifty children and others were killed. Only one woman g? up to a late hour to-night had been found among the dead. The number . of injured is not known, as most - . an of them were taken home by friends. f The scene of the accident is a large circus, which had been convertsp ed into a continuous cinematograph show. As the price of admission ' was only two cents the building was . uO crowded to its utmost capacity, for the most part by women and chilth< dren' lei The operator of the machine lost ^ his nerve when a film ignited and screamed "fire." He extinguished ^ the flames himself without difficulty, but the effect of his cry upon the . . lQi audience was instantaneous. ^ Police and attendants were powerless to control the panic-stricken people and were -swept away by the surging mass, which sought to fight ^ a way to the exit. . ^ Scores were knocked down and op trampled and many were crushed to death in the passages from the gal- ^ leries and to the streets. W( The disaster caused frenzied citiag zens to gather outside the building mi and the authorities had great diffiWJ culty in carrying on tne worK or res, . . su cue and extricating the dead and in wi jured. The manager and other employees have been arrested and are held pending an investigation. co Augusta Youth Kills Himself. vi Augusta, Ga., Nov. 21.?Thomas # cL Farris, 23 years of age, known su among his intimates as "Bub," comse mitted suicide at an early hour this . to morning by shooting himself through the head.

J FRAIL, SICKLY CJfflJ) to s: Restored to Health by Vino!? g Letter to Mothers. Anxious mothers often wonder why their children are so pale, thin and _ nervous and have so little appetite, id For the benefit of such mothers in this vicinity we publish the following L letter. J. Edmund Miller, New Haven, 11 Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever w since her birth, had been frail and )n sickly, and was a constant source of i(j worriment. Several months ago we Ig commenced to give her Vinol. I ime mediately noted an improvement in her health and appearance. I gave 3e her three bottles of Vinol, and from the good it has done her I can truly td say it will do all you claim." 5 This child's recovery was due to the combined action of the medicinal id elements extracted from cods' livers, p- ?combined with the blood-making id and strength-creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained in s Vinol. B. Vinol will build up and strengthen delicate children, old people and the s- weak, run-do am and debilitated. We a- return the money in every case where a, It fails. Peoples Brag Co., Bamberg, S.
