C., Nov. 13.?An im- y portant test suit involving the ques- Q tion of the legal liability of the Toxa- 3 way company and E. H. Jennings for 3 damages resulting from the breaking 3 cf Toxaway lake dam consequent on 3 the flood of 1916 was decided in Tran- "f svlvania countv Superior court Wed- ^ nesday by a verdict for the defend- "J ants. The case was regarded as one of the greatest importance, since it is U| the first of some twenty or more simi- Q lar suits to be brought to a conclu- U sion. Q The suit was brought by the county |j commissioners of Oconee and Pick- ^ ens counties of South Carolina to re- R cover damages for the sweeping away 3 of bridges when the released waters of the lake rushed down stream from the broken dam. The question involv- . ed was whether the owner of a dam is \ responsible for whatever happens re- J gardless of cause, or whether he isi" not responsible if he carefully builds ,j a dam after the designs of the most; 1 eminent architects and it is destroyed ji by cause beyond his control. The jury ? after hearing the charge of Judge B. J F. Long, decided that the defendants ? were not to be held responsible. J Following this test case it was stat- [ ed by a representative pf the Toxa-|j way company that it could now pro-|g ceed with the rebuilding of the dam, < which has been held up pending the!S mitcnmp of the suits for damaees and 12 that orders to proceed would be given j although only a limited amount of ? work could be done the remainder of I the year. r I | adviser to the committtee after he | had addressed the meeting.

WILL LAUNCH "WEAR * IAP *" ?? rillDilPM tui luri nwi. vrtmi muii Columbia, Nov. 13.?The execu tive committed of the South Caro- I lina League of Women voters here today, with the officials of the South I Carolina Development Board, took 'steps to launch a "wear cotton hose campaign" throuhgout the state.
