In an opinion written by Eugene B Gary, Chief Justice, and concurred in by the other members, the supreme court Saturday morning sustained the judgment of the lower court in awarding E 0 Black of Columbia $5,000 in a damage suit instituted against the Columbia State, the morning newspaper published in the city of Columbia. In the second trial of the case the jury rendered a verdict in favor of Mr Black for $20,000, but the presiding Judge made an order for a new trial, unless the plaintiff would remit upon the record $15,000 of the verdict, whereupon the decree of the Judge was complied with, and judgment was entered for the sum of $5,000, interest and costs. The The State company appealed upon 36 exceptions, all of which were overruled by the supreme court.?Columbia Record.

Respectfully submitted, Mary Eva Hite. Pres S C School Imp Asa Between twenty and thirty persons were injured, several very seriously, when the grand stand at the fair grounds fell with a crash at Laurens Monday. It was estimated that 800 or 900 were on the stand when the accident occurred, and it is little short of a miracle that no lives were lost outright and that more were not hurt. A dozen or more of the injured were rushed to the Julia Irby sanitarium; others were treated on the grounds, while others were taken to their homes in the city. y" and Keep the .use of poor heating appliance* 1 save wood and fuel bills, do it comfortably and cheaph or room that you find so hard ardware VJHY INUI INUV\ Cotton.

There are those persons who have the idea that wheat cannot be successfully grown in this part of the country. It is a mistake. Wheat can be, has been and is being quite successfully grown in the Black river section of Georgetown and Williamsburg counties adjacent to Rhems. And considerably more wheat is going to be produced in that section another year. Moreover, it is entirely within the range of probabilities that a bolting plant will be established at or near Rhems in the near future?in time to handle the next local crop. What delightful visions of wholewheat cakes for breakfast and graham tread for S'jpper, with homemilled biscuits three times a day, that suggestion conjures up! It is understood that the proposed bolting plant has ample backing, , both with capital and the acreage i miioot Bo/uosflpu fa ifq nrofitable UI VTIICai/ J WW .WW t - operation. It will not be an ambitious plant, to begin with. It will not undertake to compete with the great "patent roller process" mills of western flouring centers. It will use no kaolin, or plaster of paris, or other bleaches. But it will make flour of a sort to bnng delight and health to the consumers. The wheat of this section, it is stated on authority, while not so hard as the wheat of the colder northwest, is still a most excellent grain, and mills and bolts perfectly. In nutritive properties it is not inferior to any other wheat, though the color of the flour may not be? snow-white. In connection with the bolting ' .1 - ^ AI :ii i?

Tons of oatmeal are annually consumed in South Carolina as breakfast food, and all of this now comes from the North or the West; yet South Carolina, and Georgetown and Williamsburg counties, can grow oats to match any in the world.?Georgetown Times. We can testify from personal knowledge that our friend, Mr G F Williamson, can and has raised as fine wheat as can be produced anywhere in the United States, judging from the flour of several grades with which he has presented us in liberal quantities from time to time ?Editor County Record.
