MISS ANNE OWENS, Columbia County Accident Suit Is Reversed By Supreme Court Columbia, Aug. 11—A lower court decision in a Laurens coun ty damage suit was reversed by the State Supreme Court today. Tom Ray Jacks brought action against Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Town send for alleged damages in a highway accident. At the end of testimony on be half of Jacks, the trial judge granted a motion by the Town- sens directing a cerdict in their favor. The judge ruled that “the only reasonable inference to be drawn from the testimony offer ed by the plaintiff (Jacks) was that he was guilty of contribu tory negligence and wilfulness.” Jacks appealed, contending the judge erred in directing the ver dict before "all of the tesimony on both sides was in.” In supporting this point, the Supreme court held that “the motion was made and granted upon the close of the plaintiffs case in chief, and without any announcement by the defendants that they would offer no evi dence. The proper motion, if any, to have been made by the defendants at that time was for a nonsuit.” 1955 CCC Cotton Loon Rotes Are Announced The 1955 CCC cotton loan rate for middling 15-16 inch cotton stored in Laurens county has been announced by U.

Is Going Up South Carolina is eonkmuing a per capita income increase rate greater than the nation as a whole, Dean S. M. Derrick of the Univer sity of South Carolina School of Business reported early this week. The economist told a school men’s meeting that better farm ing, industrial expansion and di versification, and the loss of low income Negro population by em- migration are contributing factors. The school men are members of the South Carolina Assn, of School Administrators, considering school finances at a conference that end ed Thursday. Derrick predicted industrial growth will continue, with more high-paying industry coming into the state; that agriculture will ex pand; and that the state’s popula tion segment with lowest produc tivity and incomes—Negroes—will continue to move out of the state. The population move, he said, is caused by changes in farming and agricultural mechanization, bring ing less need for cheap, hand la bor.
