When he return late Tuesday afternoon from a round pastoral calls he was escorted to the pa try to look upon a wagon load of choi groceries kindly anti generously contri uted by his people None but a preach can understand the full meaning of thing of this sort. While his estimate the material benefit is at its full vaht his highest appreciation is for the spi which proinpts the bestowment The is a blessing to him who gives and to h who receives. T'he ties which bind past and people become stronger and more te der by such deeds of thoughtful kindne Asd just in proportion as a pastor's het is warmed toward his people does he 4 sire and determine to be more faithful his service to and for them. This is t second expern nc of this kind the W End pastor had since Dec. Ist, but i kindness of his people has not been c< fined to these alone, their generous sp has made itself known on numerous casions and in a variety of ways, for of which he desires ~to express his m hearty appreciation. The two pastors named are very hat in thei.z recent experience, but they by no means ambitions to enjoy a mon .o1y along thait line.

Was In Court for Five Years TrIed On th Circuit Twice and Argued in Snpreme Court Twice-Defendant. Reireseited by Johnstone & Welch, Receive.q S2,350 from Southern Ry. Co.-A Noted Case. On the 18,b of this month the case < Hicks vs. the Southern Railway Con pany, which has been in the circuit an supreme courts for something over fiv years,was finally decided bylthe suprem court, and on Wednesday, Messr Cothran & Cothran, for the defendant handed over to Hicks' attorneys Messrs. Johnstone & Weleh, $2,832.35 amount of verdict given by the circui court and all costs in the case. The case is a most noteworthy one in that it is one of the very few case in which the supreme court hns eve granted a petition for a reargumen1 and the only one in which it ever re versed itself upon a reargument. Fo: lowing is a brief history of tne case: Coleman Hicks was a brakeman i the employ of the Southern Railwa Company in 1895, and at the time of hi injury was doing duty as a brakemai upon a freight train heading into Bates burg. The freight train, on account c its length, and there being a number c cars already on the siding, was unabli entirel5 to clear the main line. I pulled in as far as it could and left few cars standing on the main line, o in other words the freight train wa "swinging." Mr. Blanton, who was i charge of the train as conductor, see ing the situation, ordered Hicks t take a flag and go as far in the direc tion of Columbia as possible and flag a incoming extra passenger train. Hick got a flag and ran as fast as he coul and as the train hove in sight flagge it, delivered his message to the tngin cer as he slowed down in passing bin and ran on toward the rear of the trai to board. The passenger train, afte Hicks bad gotten on the bottom ste with one foot, A ith his entire weigh on that foot, made a jerk, and in hi exhausted condition from the long run his foot slipped off the step and strue the rail and was immediately paste over by the wheels of the car Tb pasenger train went on into Batesbur and left him in this condition. He wa afterwards picked up by an incomin freight train a half hour afier%varod and brought into Batesburg. He wa then carried to Columbia the sam night and the next day the front par of his foot was amputated by D)r. D. 'v Taylor. Some time during the fall of the yes of 1897 suit was begun for $5.000 A the March term of the court of 1898 fu New berry, a verdict of 82,30) was re covered, Judge Gage presiding. Motio was made by the defendant for a ne trial, the motion being based upon th ground that Coleman Hicks was a fe low-servant with the other's.ervants o the passenger train that caused hi injury. Judge Gage reserved his dE cision at the time, and in about month filed his opinion, wherein b held that Hicks was a fellow servat with the injuring servants and, therE fore, barred from recovering in thi action. At the March term of thbe cout of 1899, Juuge 0. W. Buchanan presid ing, the case was again tried and verdict for $2,350 was recovered. Art other motion was made by the defer dant for a new trial, based upon th same grounds as that made befor Judge Gage. This motion was ove1 ruled An appeal was thereafter take to the supreme court by the def'endar and was argued in the November tern of the supreme court, 1900, and at tb following April term of the court i 1901 the supreme court filed its deci: ion reversing the judgment of the lowe court upon one ground. A petition was thereafter filed in tb supreme court on the part of Hicks b his attorneys, asking the court for reargument on the point upon whic the case was lost. The petition we granted and the case was set down fc reargument at thie November tern 1901. At that term the cas3 was agai argued, and in February, 1902, the cou: handed dowq~ an opinion wherein reversed its former holding, and a firmed the judgment of the circu court. Thereafter a petition was filE on the part of the railroad compar aking for another reargument of tU case. This petition was held by tU court without ac tiou un til the 18th April, 1902, when it was dismissed. C the 23(d of A pril, the defendant, th rous his attorneys. Messrs. Cotb ran & Cot] ran, paid the attorneys for Hici $2,832 35 in settlement of the judgmer and all costs in the case. This eni tbe case after being in court for fia years and after being tried on the ci cuit twice, argued in the~ supreme co.u twice, and after two petitions for r argument were heard and argued upo The supreme court was unanjimo in its first opinion reversing the jud ment of the circuit court and unat mos in its second opinion reve-rsir itself and aftirming tbe judgment of ti lower court, Judge Gary writing bo opinions.
