Actions Of damages are all the go In OH
courts. They make up half the suits whicl
| are filed
Our Civil Code Is very sweeping In Its pro
visions In regard to such suits. Every maj
who damages another in any way, In life
limb. property or feelings, is liable to such
actions It is only necessary to prove the
damages when they admit Of proof, in dollars
and cents. This can be easily done when the
damage inflicted Is material and physical.
When 1t is not OF this character and only in
wolves the feelings, the affections, the senti-
| ments, then the Jury is left to assess the same
| by bringing tlse matter home to themselves
and asking the question, how their feelings
would be affected from q like cause: how
much pain, modification and distress they
would experience from the injury In which
theacLtOn was brought. Besides these exem-
plary damages, which are allowed under our
law, there are what are styled punitive
damages. These are given when man by
some illegal act, even without violence, in
i1icts damage upon another. @zu5

This case has gone to the Supreme Court.
There are several other similar actions
brought in our courts. One is very serious

municipal ordinance which is more often and

ing wound which ended IN lockjaw and
death. His widow now brings an action for
$4,000 for the loss OF her husband.
The liability TO such actions should admon-

and ordinances enacted to prevent such casu-
alties and pro- ct the lives, properly, health1
peace and happiness Of the people. n

Tho new census Of Baltimore, taken by the
police authorities Of that city, shows that II
contains negro population Of SO, i53. This
makes Baltimore the second negro cityof the
country, New Orleans being first, witha negro
population OF 57,G47. Next to Baltimore
comes Washington, Charleston, ST. Louis,
Richmond aud Savannah In the order named.
Charleston and Petersburg are The only two
large cities in this country wherein the negro
population Is in excess Of the whites. In
Savannah, Richmond, bynehbug and Nor

Inc Republican papers throughout the

even go SO far as to say that it was published
without his authority, although they admit
the facts as contained in it. AS the Cincin-
natl Commercial puts it, Casanave's friends in
Washington insist that some rascally fellow
got hold OF his documents and detailed state

OF the dearth OF news and the public appetite

The present epidemic in Memphis has
shown that the negro is nearly as liable to
yellow FOYER as the white man, but that the
disease Is far less likely to prove fatal to
him. Since the beginning of the epidemic 1913
negroes haze been taken with the fever to 293
whites. On the other hand, lis whites have
died aud only24 negroes. For the week end
ing August iG the re cord is still more aston

with the fever 36, or more than one-half, have
died. while to 112 negro fever patients, there
were only 10, deaths, or barely $ per cent. It
has been said that the present fever In Mem

not support that theory as two out Of every
