Court Proceedings. .
When The Dispatch went to press
last week the trial of the case of Mrs.
Tilla Bacon Livingston, of Columbia,
against the Southern Railway Company,
was in progress. The case did
not go to the jury until Friday at
noon, having consumed practically
four days. After remaining in the
room for about two hours, the jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff in the j
sum of $2,500. Mrs. Livingston sought I
to recover $50,000 damages for the alleged
killing of her husband, J. W*
Livingston, by a passenger train on
the 3rd of April, 1909.
The feature of the case was the
powerful presentation of the defend
* i cn T.i. i.
ant's case oy <joi. u-^orge jonuswiie,
the brilliant attorney of Newberry. In
a speech of more than two hours Col.
Johnstone made an argument the like
of which has never been made in a
Lexington court room in a damage
suit. Col. George Bell Timmermau,
leading counsel for the plaintiff, made
a masterful argument for his client.
Assisting Mr. Tin: merman on the side
of the plaintiff were: Efird & Dreher,
T. 0. Callison, and J. Wm. Thurmond.
Col. George Johnstone, Ex-Senator
Sharpe and Col. J. Brooks Wmgard
represented the railroad.
This was the only jury case tried last
v t j */r ? "u
weeK. uuuge meminiuger, iiuwever,
disposed of a number of other cases.
THIS WEEK.
On Monday the case of G. E. Eleazer,
of Richland county, against the
Southern Bailway company was begun.
The plaintiff is represented by
Nelson, Nelson & Gettys of Columbia,
and Messrs Efird & Dreher of Lexington.
Col. Johnstone appears for the
railroad.
The plaintiff is seeking to recover
?25,000 for injuries to his eyes alleged
to have been received in the city of

1909, while the plaintiff was employed

Man, 71, Kills Wife, 70
Woman Slain while Asleep, Slayer Refusing
to Giy Cause.
Macon, Ga, November 12.?Mrs Lizzie
McCall, aged 70 years, was shot
and killed by her husband, Roger McCall,
aged 73. years, wnile she lay
asleeD in her bed at her home. 4th and
L '
Mulberry stre- ts, this eyening. McCall
then barricaded him?>f If iu another
bed room, and when the sheriff arrived
on the scene and broke down the door,
he was iound lying on the bed sound
asleep with a shotgun by his side and
on the fleer lay a half-pint bottle, j
which had contained whiskey.
McCall told the sheriff that after he
fired the shot he crank the contents of '?
| the bottle and immediately went to
sleep. The old man declines to make
a statement. He is known to have
been drinking heavily for two or three
days.
The only words he uttered before he
was confined in a cell at the jail after
being told that his wife was dead,
were: "Well, I'm d n glad of it, for
she was mean as h- 1 to me.''
The couple are said to have rrelled
during the afternoon about utiDg
j a room to a couple of young men, the
aged husband protesting. His action
is attributed to the fact that he was
crazed with drink. The dead woman
and her nusoana h&a oeen meiong
residents of Macon and the family is
wpII known through Middle Georgia.
Mrs McCall had been an invalid for
twelve years and had been confiued to
ver bed for several weeks. Two sons,
C. L. and R. M. McCall, live in Macon.
The other children are R. A. McCall,
of Milledgeville, and R. N. McCail and
^ Mrs Irene Mangum, both of Jacksonville,
Fla.
Work Commenced on
New School Building.
Yesterday the contractor commenced
work on Lexington's new ten thousand
dollar school building i<? the
eastern part of town, on the magnifi
cent site donated by the Anderson
Real Estate and Investment company
and the citizens living in that portion
t i. T i J3 1 _ .1
or town, it is nopeu to nave me uunuiDg
completed wi'hin four months.
The school is growing every day, tli"
attendance being record breaking.
The people of the district as well as
those in other parts of the county are
taking advantage of our excellent
school facilities, and are rushing their
children this way. When the new
building is completed there will be
plenty of room for all, but until then
it is doubtful if the old building will
suffice.

Financing the Farmer
THE wonderful developments in intensive, scientific
planting in the last few years have placed the farmer
in the class with the great captains of industry. He applies
his experience, knowledge and intuition to his work in much
the same manner as the manufacturer or merchant plane and
so exact is his science that he can calculate to a nicety
what the harvest will be. :
The only uncertain element?one which often upsets his
plans and calculati .ns?is the fall of the seasons. This he
cannot combat, but like other far sighted business men he
can anticipate failure and be prepared to overcome it if need
be.
These who have shown themselves willing and able to
repay have established a credit at this bank which is liberally
extended. Every farmer in the county may fortify himself
against failure by starting an account with U9?the first
step in the building of this credit. You will need it v betber
your crop be good or bad and a small deposit may be the
foundation of a big credit.
