Supreme Court of Georgia.

supreme Court OF Georgia.
A RAILROAD COMPANY is OBLIG-
ED TO KEEP THE FLOOR OF IFS;
STATION IN GOOD ORDER, AND
is LIABLE TO A PASSENGER
WHO IS INJURED BY A sPLIN-
TER FROM IT'S FLOOR, WHICH
INJURY IS CAUSED BY ITS NEG
LIGENCE.
The facts OF the case appear from the
opinion of the Court.
The Court says:
Plaintiff in error instituted her ac-
ton against the Western G. Atlantic
Railroad Company, averring that the
defendant had injured and damaged
her in named sum by rea-
son OF the following facts: Pc
tlt!oner was q passenger On the de-
PENDANTS cars from Nashville. Tenn.
to Atlanta. Ga, to which she paid first
class passage, and by the defendant
was transported to the city Of Atlanta,
and the car upon which she was riding
was brought into the passenger station
OF the defendant in the city of Atlanta
which was the place designated for
passengers to leave the car; that while
in the station house and as she sten-
ped from the car TO the floor. n large
wooden splinter. being detached from
g.
trated her foot from to 3lh inches
The splinter was broken off in petition
ers foot, and she was compelled 10
have the same cut out by a physician
From this injury she suffered great
pain, and was confined to her house for
considerable length of time. and in
Cured considerable bill for medica,
services and expenses, etc. She avers
that she was without fault and that
the railroad company was negligent in
allowing the splinter of wood to he in
the place where it was. and in stopping
It's train of cars and compelling mss.
engers to alight where the splinter had
beer so negligently left. The petition
was subsequently amended by an am.
plification of the cause of the injury.
the nature OF the loss sustained etc
The petition, as amended, was demur.
red to. and the demurrer was sustained
by the presiding judge because it set
forth no cause of action. To this judg-
ment plaintiff in error excepted
In The case of Railroad Co. V. GIea-
son. a Ga. TAP, this court ruled that a
railroad company which owns a ware
house or place OF deposit for goods and
freight which are to be delivered to
consignees stands upon the same foot

Sons and property by reason OF not hav-
ing safe and secure roads and ways for

freight house as any other person. and
that 1t was the duty OF the company
to keep the yard and flooring in such
order for public use as not to occasion
damage to the poperty of those who
are compelled to use the same. In the
case OF Railroad Co. v. Thompson, 76 Ga
40. 1t is said that, Undoubtedly 1T is
the duty OF q railroad company SO to
fix Its station or depot that passenger
who gets off at the depot or place to
alight may get off the car without dan
ger. We may. therefore. safely as
sumo that, as the plaintiff in error was
passenger on the train of the rail-
road company. it was the duty of the
latter to exercise at least ordinary and
reasonable care in the maintenance Of
It's station house, including the floor OF
the same. to prevent her from being in
Jured, and to afford to her IL safe place
to alight from the car If it were neg
ligent and failed to discharge this duty.
1t became liable for such damages as
she sustained, unless there was some
fault attributable to her. or the injury
was occasioned by her own neglect and
want of care. In her petition she ayers
negligence and want of care on the part
OF the railroad company in so main
tanning its station house, and AYERS
that she was injured in consequence
of such negligence. Negligence Is q
question of fact, and is for the jury
and under the allegations made she
was entitled to have her case submit
ted to the jury

Mr.. Saunders acknowledged his APP
pointment In an eloquent speech. He
said in part that there were many
questions which the convention would
aa'stve-to defsf with, principally however,
the sending of delegates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention to be
held in Kansas City and the proposed
amendment of the Constitution OF the
State of Virginia. He said that the OPP
ponents to the proposed amendments
held out that the people of the State
were not capable to deal with such a
weighty question, and that the Constl-
tuition was framed by our forefathers,
who knew what they were about when
they framed 1T. He remarked that he
had great respect for the forefathers of
the present generation; that If it were
not for them we would not now be
here. but he thought that the people
of Virginia Of the present day were
fully qualified to amend the Consti-

and asked to be assigned to n part of

the permission.
w. II. Calhoun, of Montgomery, said
Radford should have four instead of
three delegates. They were allowed
four.
The chairman inadvertently called
for the Eleventh District, but amid
laughter was told we wouldn't have
that many for some time.
The contest from Warwick was
passed for time and Shenandoah was
the first proposition tackled. 1t was u
hard one.
MIR. Calhoun, of Montgomery, moved
that no speaker be allowed longer than
five minutes. Carried.
