TAPE m COMMON PLEAS COURT TRIALS Continued from pago cue.) plaintiff was riding was leaving the city of Florence, plaintiff /pplied to the agent of defendant, viz., the conductor of said train, and requested that said conductor upon arriving ait the next station should wire Ahead and arrange to hold the train at Chadbourn, so that plaintiff would JtKJ sure of making the connection and reach his destination as (juickly as possible, and the said conductor promised and agreed to attend to the same. That plaintiff is iut'ormed atwl believes that the defendant, its servants, agents and employees wiltfvlly, wantonly and" in a careless aind negligent manner failed and re ifused to wire ahead, as they agreed o do, and failed to obtain or furnish any information to the plaintiff, but a little later, as the train "was at the station called Pee Dee on said line, the said conductor told *the defendant that he would find out later on and let the plaintiff know at Marion, S. C., another station on ?aid' road, and the plaintiff then fnlH tho ?nid conductor that. if ho "found that the train would not be held for him at Chadbourn that then the plaintiff would take an automobile at Marion, S. C., and endeavor to reach his home in that way. That as plaintiff is informed and believes, the defendant, its agents, wervants and employees in a wilful, wanton, careless and negligent manner failed nnd refused still to obtain and give him any information concerning said train, well knowing, sis- plaintiff then and there informed them, of the circumstances making it imperative that plaintiff should reach his destination, and failed to inform him as to the result i* making connections by reason of their careless and negligent failure to run their trams on time, and when said train had reached the station of Marion, the conductor approached the plaintiff and told him that defendant's train had already at that time left Chadbourn for Conway and advised the plaintiff to get off of -defendant's train at that point of Marion and take a private conveyance through the country, if he "wanted to reach home that night, which statement of 'fact, viz., that *aid train had left Chadbourn was false, and as plaintiff is informed and l>elieve?, was known to be false to the defendant, its agents, servants and employees at the time, >ut it was not until afterwards that plaintiff learned that said statement was false. That the said day, viz., the 24th day of February, 1917, was bitterly 'cold and a freezing wind blowing, there had been recent heavy raina and tne road was in a frightful condition, all of which the defendant, its agents, servants and employees had knowledge, but as a result of what the conductor said to the plaintiff as aforesaid and which was alone, as plaintiff is informed, wilfully and wantonly, carelessly and negligently, the plaintiff believing .said statements to be trve, left the defendant's train and hired an automobile, which exposed him to the severe weather along bad country Toads over a distance of more than thirtv th;?h tho rnr -down before going very far on the way, and the driver refused to continue the journey on account of the excessive cold and the roughness of the roads; that after laboring and suffering in the mud and the severe cold, the plaintiff succeeded in hiring another automobile along the road, and this in turn only carried plaintiff a few miles on the way and refused to take him any further, when the plaintiff finally succeeded in employing a third man, and finally reached his home at Conway, .S. C., at eight (8) o'clock on the night of February 24th, 1917, and later, the plaintiff learned that the defendant's train w*ft held at ChadS AWc 1 M For Women F Md "I was hardly able to drag, 1 & iM WRS so weakened," writes Mrs. L CD W.

That all of the facts in relation to plaintiff's passage in regard to making the schedule of the defendant and the information in regard thereto as referred to, and in relation to obtaining information for plaintiff were, as plaintiff is informed and believes, done wilfully, wantonly, carelessly and negligently! in reckless disregard of the rights of the plaintiff, and the aforesaid injuries of the puaintiff ware caused by said acts which damaged him in the sum aforesaid. The jury trying this case was at follows: .1. W. Smith, John W. Sasser, Jr., Lem W. Anderson, J. T. Shelly. K. M. Gerrald, J. W. Pridgen, J. B. Williamson, Bart I.. Shelly, M. G. Powell, Alford Lancaster, W. Chap Martin. Chas. C. Bullock. The plaintiff, W. L .Mishoe, swore the following witnesses. The plaintiff himself, who told the same things in substance as those stated in the complaint. Geo. J. Hollidav testified that Mr. Mishoe camc to Galivants Ferry on that day, about 12 or 1 o'clock, and wanted him to send him to Conway; that it was very cold on that day and hard to pet anybody to pro, but sent W. P. Powers to carry him to Cool Springs. K. L. Mishoe testifed that he saw the plaintiff at Cool Springs and that he cranked up his car and brought him to Conway; that plaintiff was very cold and nervous, wanting to get home to his daughter, who was ill, according to the telegram. He said that it was a very cold day. W. P. Powers told how he managed to get the plaintiff from Galivants Ferry to Cool Spring on that dav. and how ho rmild nnt it to take him any further than Cool Spring on account of the severe cold and exposure, and told about the condition of Mr. Mishoe on that occasion. Dr. J. K. Stalvey, the family physician testified that Mr. Mishoe applied to him that night; that he had a chill and was a very cold man; that he went to him the next morning and found him suffering from neuralgia in the eye and that this was caused by the exposure; that Mr. Mishoe went back to Columbia and again returned home and was sick for about three weeks, during which time he attended two or three times a day and that he was still suffering from the affliction of the eye and a deep-seated cold; and that he had treated him since that time for the trouble and never treated jhim for this before this exposure. This closed the testimony for plaintiff. The railroad company then put up their testimony by calling the various agents, conductors, and dispatchers who had managed the train during that day. The main witnesses were Conductor Pae and Dispatchers Coe at Florence, and Peel at Wilmington, N. C. They produced the records of the railroad to try to show how the trains were run on that day. On cross examination Peel said that they should have been kept informed of the movements of these trains and that the train, under the rules, should not have been delayed more than on* hour at Sumter, etc. The conductor denied that he had told Mr. Mishoe at Marion that the train had left Marion. At the close of all the testimony the railroad moved for a non-suit, which was refused. Then the arguments were made on both sides, and the jury charged by the court. The jury returned a rerdict for $600.00 actual damages at about 8 o'clock Thursday night, and were diHeharged by the court. Attorneys for the railroad company pave notice of a motion for a new trial, to be argued on Friday morning. o?

EXAMPLES IN BETTER DAIRYS The endless-chain manner in which agricultural extension works for the betterment of a community is shown in the monthly report of the western office of the Dairy Division, United 1 States Department of Agriculture. A representative of the western offica visited a creamery in Washington Slate in July and talked to dariymen 1 as they unloaded their cream. One man seemed to be particularly interested when the representative told him about the need of better cream, how such cream could be had by better care .in cooling, and how a cooling tank 'could be built. The dairyman asked the representative to visit his farm. Official SuggeHtt* Needed Changes. "I went out to his place," the dairy representative writes in his report, "with some departments of Agriculture bulletins relating to the building of milk houses and the cooling of cream on the farm. I explained how | he could equip the house with watar connection for a cooling tank and how to make some changes to suit his needs. "The county agent' was interested in this line of work and asked what he could do toward carrying it forward . I said: 'Mr. L. will have a milk house and cooling tank built in three weeks. If convenient, call on him then, and take a farmer along. Repeat the visit and take other men along to see his milk house. If this man sees his work is so appreciated J that people will come distances to see it, he will become a booster for milk houses and cooling tanks and convert his neighbors to his point of view quicker than you or I can do it. (I remember a farmer in Minnesota j whom I used to hold up as a con-1 snicuous examole of the model dairy; man when I spoke at dairymen's j meetings. I think he would rather t have lost his best cow than to have me sec him deliver a can of sour or off-flavored cream to the creamery. He had acquired a reputation , and took a glorious pride in living up ; to it.* "Again in December we visited Mr. L.. He had done more than I expected. He had built a substantial cement-bottomed milk house with large cement cooling tank; installed a milk > ing machine and electric power for the milking machine and the separator; and had a carrier system so the milk cans were carried on an overhead rail from the stable to the milk house across the road, and the cream, . after being skimmed, could be hoisted easily into the cooling tank. Mr. I L. considered it a good investment and quite a labor-saving device." 0 I Plies Cured In 6 to 14 Day* rru^iats refund n.ouey if PAZO OINTMkNT muk > i ?oure Itching.

Paris.?In 1021 there are more causes likely to provoke a general European war than there existed in 1914. The partition of Asia Minor has aroused hate and old enimities through out Europe. Four or five nations are at each other's throats over the division of the spoils. Quarrels in the Balkans are more lively than ever. In the future the Saare valley plebiscite may bring on a conflict. Revolution may break out at any moment in the Ruhr. The Polish question, the Dantzig corridor, the isolation of East Prussia? all are blocks in the way of final peace. Silesia is in a turmoil. Tchechen is the cause of a near war between Poland and Tcheko-Slovak which may become serious at any moment. Jugo-Slavia has failed to foecome a united nation and Montenegrin Serbs have already revolted while Hungary is only awaiting her hour to strike to commence war on her neighbors. Austria is at death's grasp. Bulgaria is meditatintr re venire on Greece. The arreat-1 er Greece of the Serbes treaty is costing hundreds of lives daily and will cost many more. Rumania is menaced on one side by Transylvania and on the other by the Russians through Bessarabia. Remains the post-war rivalry between the United States and England, already vitally serious, and the antagonism between America and Japan, which all the world expects to result in an armed conflict sooner or later.
