C., THURS iiBIi Lasted Practically all Last Week, Many Cases Heard ANDERSON VS. LUMBER CO. There was not a Long Roster, but the Cases Were Tedious to Try.?Thomas B. Jordan Wins Verdict Against Railroad Co.,?Court Week had not the Usual Crowds. The court of common pleas came to an end here the latter part of last week, after occupying nearly tho whole of the week in the trial of important civil cases. As this was a court for the trial of civil jury oases noly, there was not the usual large crowds attending hero when criminal cases were on the docket for trial, The lirst caso disposed of la?-t week was that of Vereeu vs. llorry County, which was commenced on Monday and was not decided by the jury until a late hour on Wednesday. After that caso which terminated with a verdict for tho county, t'io court took up tho case of Thomas B Jordan against the Atlantic Coatt Line Railroad Co,, wherein the plaiut'tT sought damages for injuries which he received in the early pirt of 1912, Tho complaint alleged that the plaint.IT was unloading a car of fertilize! s bohiid the depot at Conway, and that while ho. was thus engaged with the knowledge and consent of the railroad company, an engine attached to a string of cars was run against the plaint IT was workiDg at with such a force *hat ho was thrown out of the car door on the hard ground, fracturing one of the small bones in tho wrist joint. The jury gave hiui a vordici for $300 00, In tbo Jordan caso above mentioned tho plaintItT was represented by H, H, Woodard and the railroad company bv Uonry Buck and C. V Quattlobaum, Tlo case ut Catherine S'rickland against Hamou Strickland for alimony or support waa compromised on Wednesday night and was net called for trial. The pait'.es were negroes. Anderson vs. Conway Lumber Co, On "Wednesday afternoon, the court entered into the trial of the case of Mrs. L, A. Anderson against the Conway Lumber Company, claiming damages for the deuta of the It.te Mr, ft. II, Anderson on March 10th, 1912, at the plant of the lumber company. The complaint alleged that on that day, while Mr. Anderson, was engaged about his duties at the plant, at a place called the "green deck", that the platform carrying a t ruck heavily loaded with lumber dropped down by reason of decayed supports underneath the same, causing ccrtaiu other timbers used as standards to hold the truck and its load in place, to spring out, and that the lumber fell on the de, ceased and caused his death. Mrs, Anderson sued as the administrator of the deooased. The plaintitT was represented by H. H. Wood wood and the defendant by Hon. ft. B. Scarbtrough and Mr. Visanska, of the firm of Smvthe & Visanska of Charleston, S. C. Several witnesses were sworn by the plaintiff to show how the deceased came about, For the defendant there was placed on the stand, Mr, tj. W. Ambrose, ) the general manager of the company, Mr. W, B, Snow, a former employee, \ } and various colored hands whn worn I * then and still are working lor the ) campany. Aftor able argument* v made on both sides, and the charge of the presiding judge, which from ) the nature of the ct s 5 was rather ) lengthy, the jury retired on Friday . morning ti consider their verdict } They rem lined out for some hours ) and brought in a verdict for the plaiLtdl in the sum of $2730 00 compensatory damages. o xdo caso or juuiott against Page 0 was heard in open court without a jury and resu.ted in an adversee 5 opinion to the contentions of the 0 Plaintiff* It was ttated that he q wouid take an appeal to the supreme court. 6 The next case on the roster was 0 that of Henry A. Shelly against 0 George J. Holliday to recover for a lot of lint cotton sold and delivered 0 to the defendant by the plaintiff, 0 The defendant set up in bis answer a counter in the matter of a book ac? count, which when deducted from 5 the plaintiff's claim left the defendant owing the plaintiff about $48 00, whioh amount the defendant offered in his answer to pay the plaintiff. c The jury returned a verdict allowd ing the book account to be deducted '0 from the price of the cotton, thus l" making a victory for the defendant. ? In the case of II. L. Oliver vs. J. o L. Goodman, the jury found for the 3* plaintiff the sum of $50 00 the value of a certain mare for which Ife ^ DAY, NOVEMBER 6th 1 CASE CREATED INTEREST The Case of Vereen vs. Horry County was Tried for the Second Time. The first case tried at tho court last week was that of Mrs. Elizabeth Vereen as plaintiff against the county of llorr}', for the sum of forty thousand dollars damages for the death of her husband, Edgar A. Vereen, by leason af a defect in th( Socastee Road in the early part ol 1911. Most of our readers are familiar with the details of tho.ease because it was tried the first time be foie the court here iu 1912, and the jury aftor remaining ott for a long time reported that they could not agree. The case came on again lust week and took up two day of thecourt. The jury went in to their room to consider their verdict em Tuesday evening late. They remained out all night and on Wednesday in ruing at the meeting of the court, they came in with a yerdict for the county, lite case was well tried, and the attorneys for the plaintiff took pains to explain the circuit stances surrounding the case, as the law and the facts. Many pt oplc expre>sed \hotnsclves as btii g in favor of a veidict for t ie plaintig, while thero were many o-heis around tho court h ou. e who were 1 >ud mouthed against it, and some of them were people who ha J no , ri oiainod in tho court house and heard the evidence in tie ease. They seemed to bo talking mo: e from rumors that they had heard abou& the case than from facts presented to tho court, There weie others who said that it would be impossible to gel tse jury to lind a verdict against the county, because if they did so, tho taxpayers would have to pay the bill etc. There were souio who looked at the matter from an unbiased standpoint, and those made it plain that a mat should not let self interest concerning a cent added to his t.ixcs, influence him in doing the right thing. The case created a lot of* ii torest Many poople were talking about il one way. or another. One thing seems to bo plain, and that is, thai there should be a change in the law so that cases of this kind against the county can be tried in some otbei county. Every man and vomer, wants justice when thoy have to g< into the courts, and how can thej get this when they are up against prejudice and self interest? The litt'e friends of William Taft Howell met at his homo on last Friday to celebrate his 6:h bi I day. After many games were played the} were all invited into the dining room where refreshments were served, fc { A Slid Neglect. Please allow space in your paper to give credit t) Zeb G. Causey for the stalk of Sho?t Stiphi cotton which drew 1st premium in our recent county fair. I consider it an unwarranted blunder in the committee t j omit his name, especiull} noting others so carefully, Aho Mr. H. C. Lewis received 1st premium of sugar cane but he was given no credit for his exhibit. Those two exhibits were from Toddviile sections, why not give people credit for the effort tj assist the county fa:r especially as both exhibits drew 1st piecniuin. /ItWk T i v/uu iijivi ^ntr.ui CONWAY LODGE, No. 65, A.
