Hiawatha Garage
Sues Oil Company.
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

About the Pickens
Transylvania Road
We take the following paragraph
from a road development article in last
week's Brevard News: The Pickens
Bentinel tells of consideration the Pick
3ns authorities are giving to the ques
tion of building a road to North Carolina
and its suggestion that Transylvanians
prepare to meet them at the state line
ihould be favorably received. Two old
roads lead from Pickens county into
rransylvania, one by Sassafras Gap,
[ndian Camp mountain and East Fork
)r Connestee, and another by way of
[tosman.
The Rosman correspondent of the
Brevard News says: J. 13. Craig, road
supervisor, and J. M. Lawrence, road
:ommissioner of Pickens, S. C., were in
;own last week, guests of the Paxton
iouse. They came across the mountain
>y way of Itocky Bottom and went
)ack by Sassafras Gap road. They
mere looking for a route for agraded
*oad from Pickens to Rosman. They
:laim they can get a 7 per cent grade
)n their side of the mountain by amend
ng what is known as the Gauley road.
[f they can, of course we can get a 5 or
; per cent grade on this siue of the
nountain. We must have this road in
>rder to keep up, or rather ahead, of
Brevard. Then, while Brevard can
)oast of her fine road to Greenville, we
.an boast of one to Pickens.
