UNUSUAL CASE HEARD. Lexington, Nov. 3.-One of the most interesting cases ever tried in Lex ington county has been In progress in common pleas court, Special ,Judge Joseph A. 'McCullough of Greenville presiding, since yeite.rday morning. and the indications are that it will consume the remainder of the week. The action, for $50,000 damages, is brought by Mrs. Mlary Strickland of Savannah, Ga., administratrix of the estate of her deceased hushand, who, for many years prior to his death, was an engineer of the Southern Railway. It is alleged by the plaintitT that her husband was injured on July -1, 191.1, while in the discharge of his duty, the accident having occurred at the end of his run in .n acksonville, 'ia. The en gineer, according, to lthe allegations of the complaint, found that a drain cock of the air reservoir of his engine was not working: that he turned the handle of the drain cock and, realiz ing that it was stopped up, he used a piece of wire to open it up. When h< did this, it Is claimed, water and sedi ment of rust slowed out upon his hand. breaking the skin and causing blood poison, which later caused acute llrighl's disease, resulting in the death of the man just two months after the injury. It is the contention of the railway company that Mr. Strickland died from natural, or other causes, than the injury to his hand; and the testimony so far adduced has been most interest iug. Every altorney of thw .cxingtotn har is associated in the case on one side or the other. AVOID 311ST.\lES No Need to Experiment with L.aurens Evidence att. 111nnd4.

"At the opera house some ttime ago, a young lady, who is a teacher In one of the Newberry schools, asked that question of the ladies who were sitting behind her. "This is one from one who likes pure English in the schools and thinks that the teachers, at least, should be good grammarians." Editor Wallace of the Observer, who is a hardened movie fiend, lpelessly addileted to the habit, is so moved by ile uinusual consideration shown by teacher' in d(ismounting froin her head menagerie in ilower garden, euphetm 1stically termed a hat, lie wanders in oliter dicta laudation of her and al most forgets his mut tons. lie has no heart to critiC adversely the grammar cured by hats." Alackaday who has of the sentence quoted, since he "has sometimes had the best pictures obise (ured by hats." Alackaday who has tot? coming down 1 brass tacks, -Editor Wallace holds that "You-all's" when used of more than two persons is gra miatia1lly correct. It is awkward, be cause it is unusual to some people. The decision declares that to say "you all" in speaking to one person, or to only person5s, is of course bad grammar: said to be common among mountain ee's and backwoodsmen." llere we Iinmst dissent from our learned brother, 1'oldinig that "you all" is right when ever applied to two or mo10re plersons.

Fraser, A. .1. wol d say, "we concii' in the result," assentlug that "both the granimiar and the heart of the young ladely teacher referred to are absolutely all right." As the Observer says, "you all" is as good as "I hey all," quoting this lore from1i a l1apt1ist author "They all be gan withi one accord to make excuse." \W'ihile the Observer does not touch on the validlity of the possessive "you just as "all" does in "you all." 1)o you all understand Ibis?

"You all" is virtually one word and the possessive appendages go on the last part of it. The Observer, saying that "persons in a certain portion of Laurens coun ty" use the word "you-uns" to refer to one or two persons, implies that the phrase is correct, if it he used in a iproper plural sense, although it is si lent on the matter. As we view it, "You-uns". Is "you ones" incorrect, whell referring to more than one? Asked to distinguish articles belonging to you from others, do you not often say "These ones are mine?" Vhat is wrong about "you ones?" If you wish to select Mlatthew and Mark from the crowd, you say to them "You two come here."

If the fire bell should ring would you run and slop it or go and htell to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as i much as a lire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a tire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that caus es the coughing. This can nearly al ways he done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it witi the most beneflcial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or all attack of the grip. irs, Thomas Hteeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: "Dur ing the winter my husband talkes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Cham berlain's Cough temedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get\him to take any other." Obtainable everywhere.
