It was impossible to move the truck for some time and when help came rind'die truck lifted from tho lad. h*> was dead., His chest was crushed and he was*" otherwise injured. . At the tim^ of his death young Baer was 16 years and two months of age. ? The Cherry Company of Sumter was phoned for and immediately went to the scene of the accident.

' Court Proceedings. The court of common picas enter ed upon the third week this morning. Several cases <>n the roster have eith er been disposed of by compromise or aro nor ready for trial. The case of Max Traub against the Atlantic ?Coast L?ne railroad was completed; or. Saturday. The plaintiff through his attorney. Ttaymoh Schwartz, sued for $144* for lost property: $*><> for failure to pay within 30 days and also for t^ie interest. The jury rend ered ; verdict.for the- plaintiff for-, the $50 penalty, the $144 for lost property and also .:$i:;.;'7 for interest. ; The defendant was represented by Messrs. M. lieynolds and L. W. McDcmorj^ Today the"court wilTrry the case of Martha E. Hodge, et al.. against El len .Johnson, et al. The piaintirT ? is represented by Mr. A. B. St?ckey while the defendant has- engaged Messrs. Bland and Ptirdy. The court could proceed* only very slowly this morning due to the fail ure of certain witnesses appeal on time. It is very probable that a special term of court of common pleas will have to be held in order to dispose of the many cases yet on the" ros ter-and which the lawyers do not de sire to carry over to the new year.

While the supreme court whs hearing argu [ ments today on the validity of the ! wartime prohibition act. word went :out from the White llous*- that Pres ident Wilson would not rescind the ; "dry act until peace ? formally had 'Ibeen declared." This was, expected ' to1 set a,! rest the ever recurring ru mors that the "dry" would, be lifted 1 by the president irrespective of early I ratification of the treaty of Wrsailles. ; Failure of the senate to act on the I treaty at the extraordinary session ; was regarded by many administration i officials as precluding the ending of {the technical state of war-much be-' ! fore the constitutional prohibition ; amendment became effective.next Ja.n ' ua ry 3 6. Should such prove the case, the 'only possibility of a. "\\>t" Christmas j would be for the supreme court to declare the war time act un<onstitu jtional. Arguments on the pending (eases will be concluded tomorrow bur i a.s the court begins a recess Monday {no decision is expected until it re j convenes on December -S. The right of congress to prohibit 'the manufacture and sale of intoxicat ing liquors, was sharply attacked and ; vigorously defended duisng the arjru i ments. Elittu Root, and others contended (that the wartime.act and the.Yol.stead ?enforcement measure not only violat ed the. fifth constitutional amendment .'prohibiting the takinpr of property without just compensation, but were i inoperative owing" to;the cessation of . hostilities and the demobilization of \ the army which w^re responsible for j their enactment. I Solicitor General"King and William i T,. Frierson. an assistant attorney gen ; era!, for the government, argued ihowever. that a .state of war still ex ists and that it was congress" intent to ! provide war:time prohibition Until tne j peace treaty was ratified, j 'Trie arguments which will be con \ eluded tomorrow, were in appeals i brought to the supreme court from Kentucky where the wartime prohi I h;t ion act was declared u n const i tu - Itional and from New York where fedr. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmKmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^mKM !?? mi!??."???"IIi i.Mmwm ~- .' j war time and" the enforcement -act* \ Und dismissed ?mjuncti^?^inpcee?^pv. | sought to enable Dryfuss,' Blum ax& ~ '?? company to -remove whiskey -..fr/flrn^ i bond, and Jacob Ruppert, a brewer,' to "* manufacture, beer containing/ . -toot* g ? :ban one-half of 1 per cent, alcohol : MANY FACTORIES ?'
