IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
DECISION TN PITENT CASE BY
 JUDGE TOWNSEND.
Husband Poisoner Case Not to be App pealed-Iilegal Gaming at savin Rock --The Covert Case Disposed of by Judge Bryant-Junk Stealing Case-Probate and City Court Cases.

Judge Townsend in the United States court yesterday handed down a decis- ion in the case of the Acme Flexible Clasp company against the Cary Man ufacturing company. This patent is a fastener for securing wooden package covers, formed of single piece of met al, with tapered shanks and thin met al plate which is thick enough at its junction with bases of shanks to form heads for driving the shanks into the wood. By this unique construction of double pointed staple the inventor so successfully accomplished the object of his invention that his sales amount to 6O0O0,00O a year, and for thirteen years the public have acquiesced in the valid lty of his patent, says Judge Townsend, except in a single instance where this defendant co-operated with complain ant in successfully stopping infringe ment by threat of suit.
 As it was essential to establish such prior knowledge of construction, opera ton and use as would be equivalent to the specifications of a patent and such proof was not furnished think the de- fense is not sustained.

What Killed Scale on Peach Trees.

Eds. Record Union: This question
has been put to a great many fruit
growers the last two years. AS this
little insect the scale, has cost the
fruit-growers of this State a great deal
of money and labor trying to destroy
it in various ways, but principally by
washes of many different kinds, some
of which proved more disastrous to
the tree than it did to the scale, and
some kinds had no effect upon either
The wash used now principally is a
mixture Of sulphur, salt and lime, and
our bug men tell us that this is sure
death to the scale, which have mys-
teriously disappeared in the last few
years. Il mean the bugs, not the bug
men, and they are more plentiful in this
county than ever) However, the dis
appearance of the scale from the peach
tree is a mystery to US growers, but
am of the opinion that some parasite
has been the destroyer of them.
If such is the case very serious
question confronts u.s.. and that is
whether this wash of sulphur, salt and
lime will not kill the insect that de-
stroys the scale. If such is the case
those that do spray are destroying an
growers, especially those like myself,
that never have sprayed so. I, like
many others, have indisputable proof
that it was not spraying that killed
off the scale in my trees, which were
full of scale. five years ago, and now
have but very few, if any. And I find
that it is the opinion of every grower
except one that have talked with up
on this subject that spraying has not
been the cause of the scales disappear
ing Yet fruit growers, with the rest of
the taxpayers of this county, are pay
ing four or five men whom the County
Board of Horticultural Commissioners
have appointed at a good salary to
come around and tell US to spray our
trees or they will have us arrested,
which they have done in a few cases,
which puts many a farmer with a few
trees around his house, planted there
as much for ornament as for profit, to
more hours of worriment than all the
scale in the county. They may have
the law to back them. but / am with
Governor Gage when he said that we
have too much law now.
