Il. BROWN.
NORTON GETS $4,000.
Largest Personal Damage Suit Ever
Affirmed.

Largest Personal Damage SUIT Ever
Affirmed.
The largest personal damages judg-
mcnt ever affirmed by the Supreme
court of North Carolina, was that Of
Norton vs.. North Carolina Railroad
Company, affirmed Tuesday in IA decl-
sion written by Judge Douglass. Mr..
| Norton sued for $4,000 damages, for
injuries received W years ago.
1t Will be remembered that ut the
| March term, 1897, of Durham Superior
court G.. II. Norton, the Durham builder
and architect. recovered Judgment
| against the North Carolina Company for
5000 damages for personal injuries
sustained by reason 0f a collision with
a train Of the defendant at a crossing
in Durham. The railroad appealed, ana
the Supreme court has just affi-mCd
the Judgment.
Mr.. Norton was riding iii Durham.
on the morning Of May 2nd, 1896, in il
buggy with Mr.. \. G.. Bauer. Of this
city, when the injury was sustained. Mr..
Bauer was also badly hurt. but he com
promised his case for 5000.
Mr.. Norton had his jaw bone broken
in two places and lost nearly all his
teeth. together with the process by
which they are held in his mouth. besides
receiving Utner serious ana permanent
injuries.
He made seven trips to Baltimore and
PHILADELPHIA and was twice in n hospital
III the former place. He expended more
than $1,000 N and about these visit.
Mr.. Norton is now in Baltimore under
going treatment for his eyes.
IniS is the largest recovery ever sus-
tanned i'll a damage suit in this State.
In James vs.. Railroad $4,000 was re-
covered and there have been several
$4,000 TecOyerieS.
The railroad was represented by Price.
RuShcc and Baeon: while Winston x
Fuller represented G. II. Norton. Jus
tlce Douglas delivered the unanimous
opinion Of the court.
The court refuses TO allow the motion
for an arrest Of judgment for the reason
that 1t was not responsive to the ale
cations III the complaint, which is CON
strued to mean that the Southern Rail
way Company is not liable for the negli-
gence of its lessee, the North Carolina
Railroad. The court also declined to
review the refusal Of the court below
to set aside the verdict on account Of ex-
c~essive damages.

RECOLI.ECTIONS OF KOSSJTH
AND TOM CORWIN.

l think it was in 1851 that Koss nth Wis
tied this country. He was an orator.
There was no man. at that time. under
our flag. who could speak English as
we'll as he. In the first speech | read of
kossuth's was this line: RUSSIA is the
rock against which the sigh for free
dom breaks.
In this YOU see the poet. the painter,
the orator. ,
). :. PrentiSS was an orator. but. with
the recklesSncss Of a gameSter. he threw
his life away. He said profound and
beautiful things. but he lacked applica-
ton. lie was uneven dispropOrtionCd-
saying ordinary things ON great occa-
sionS. and now and then. without the
slightest proyocation. uttcring the sub
Iimest and most beautiful thoughts.
In my judgment Corwin was the
greatest orator Of them all. He had
more arrows i'll his culver. He had
genius. He was full Of humor. pathoS,
wit and logic. He was an actor. His
body talked. His meaning was in his
eyes and lips.
Gov. O. i. Norton. of Indiana, had the
greatest power of statement of any
man | ever heard. All the argument
was in his statement. The facts were
perfectly grouped. The conclusion WAS
a necessity. The best political speech [
ever heard WAS made by Coy. Richard
i. OgieSby. OF Indiana. 1t had every Gle
ment of greatness, reason, hunlOr, Wit,
pathos. imagination. and perfect natnr-
alness. That was in the grand years,
