The allegation that a .mixture of gas oline and kerosene oil is' "wholly unfit for use in the ordinary gasoline engine, and that such a mixture, used through inadvertance caused a number of Pick ens and Oconee county automobiles .to come to a sudden stop on the public high- i ways without warning, to the great em- I embarrassment and inconvenience to the I drivers, is the unusual allegation made I in a civil action transferred to the Fed eral court for trial at Greenville at an early term, from the circuit court in Oco nee county. The plaintiff in the case is the Hiawa tha Garage, conducted by T. D. Harris and W. I. Harris, of Pickens. The de fendant is the Gulf Refining Company, a Pennsylvania corporation which has a branch business in Seneca, in Oconee county. By reason of the loss in trade and the loss of public patronage and favor, through an alleged mistake of the refining company, the garage asks pun itive damages in the sum of $5,000. The case will be tried before Judge Johnson probably at the April term of the Fed eral court. The plaintiff alleges that on December 10, 1916, the defendant agreed to sell to the plaintiff at Pickens, five drums of good Gulf gasoline, containing 275 gallons, at 23 1-2 cents per "gallon. In stead, the defendant sent, the complaint declares, three drums of gasoline and two drums of kerosene, the latter being labeled as gasoline. The plaintiff emp tied the five drums into their tank and began making sales of the liquid to var ious customers operating gasoline en gines in automobiles, etc. "As soon as the mixture was used in the engines," declares the complaint, "the engines lost their efficiency and were found to be in distress: several automobiles were stranded on the public highways; some had to be abondoned altogether by their owners or occupants, who suffered much inconvenience. By reason thereof, the plaintiff as serts, he has suffered much damage in loss of public patronage and public favor, and such damage has been and remains continuous from day to day. -Greenville Piedmont.
