COMMON PLEAS.


of common pleas, was that of ]. Ed
gar Poag against the Charlotte OIL and
Fertilizer company. 1t was taken up
last Friday at noon, and after 1t was
disposed Of the jurors were discharged
from further attendance.
The issues involved in the case are
possessed Of considerable interest. At
least the principle established is new
one so far as this immediate section Is
concerned. The seller Of unwholesome
cattle food was made to pay for the
damage that resulted from the use Of
the food.
The plaintiff, Poag, bought from the
defendant Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer
company, q car load Of cotton seed
hulls. The hulls were received at plain
tiff's farm on Friday, unloaded and fed
to cattle on Saturday; and on Monday
three head of cattle died while others
were made very sick. Plaintiff made
examination Of the cotton seed hulls,
found that they were at that time very
hot, and attributing the trouble to the
unwholesome condition, stopped their
use for feed and made demand on the
seller for damages.
The defendant put up witnesses to
show that the car load Of hulls alleged
to have been damaged were afterward
sold to other parties in the neighbor-
hood and fed to cattle without injury;
but plaintiff showed that this feeding
took place some four or five months af-
terward, when the hulls had gone
through cooling process and were no
longer dangerous.
President Oliver, of the Charlotte Oil
and Fertilizer company. testified that
he knew Of his own knowledge that
heated cotton seed hulls would not in
jure cattle. He had seen such hulls
red after they had been almost brown
ed and without bad results. Other
witnesses testified that they had fed
cotton seed hulls for. years, heated and
otherwise, and that they had never
seen any bad effects except from keep
ing the cattle too long on that one food.
The jury was evidently satisfied,
however, that the heated hulls caused
the loss Of Mr.. Poag's three head Of
cattle, and returned a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum Of $3.50. \ The
amount sued for was 1924. There was
a motion for a new trial on Monday;
but the court overruled 1t. Finley &
Brice and Wilson & Wilson for plaintiff,
and Thos. F. Mellow for the defendant.
During Monday, Judge Klugh signed
an order providing for the appointment
Of an expert to examine into the affairs
Of the Commercial and Farmers bank.
It seems that the bank has a claim Of
about $11, 900 against the Crescent Cot
ton mill, and the Crescent Cotton mill
has a claim Of some $4,000 against the
bank. The affair appears to be so mix
ed up that nobody Is able to make
heads or tails Of It., and it Is hoped
that some expert book-keeper may be
able to straighten it out.
Court was still in session when The
ENQUIRER went to press. Judge Klugh
hoped to get away Saturday night, and
then he began to calculate on Monday
night. At noon yesterday he thought
he would surely get away last night;
but even that was not certain

TEMPLE OF PATRIOTISM.

The Fort Mill people, who have made
their town unique in the possession of
a Confederate park, containing mon
uments to the Confederate Soldier"
the "Women Of the South" the Faith
full Slave" and the "Catawba Indians, >
have about decided upon another char
acteristic step.
This time it is Temple Of Patriot
ism," that is under consideration. 1t is
proposed to erect in the confederate
Park" a suitable building and suita-
bly, perpetuate the memory Of South
Carolinians who have done for their
State something to entitle their names
to consideration of posterity.
AS in the case Of the monuments this
new idea originates with Captain S. E.
White and Mr.. John M. Spratt: but
the balance Of the population is in full
accord. There is every prospect that
the temple will soon become al accom-
plished fact, and that Confederate Park
will soon have another proud boast.
Asked as to the names that would
probably be honored in the temple,
Captain White said that was a matter
to be determined under some plan yet
to be perfected; but he presumed that
places would be found for such names
as Calhoun, McDuffie, C. c. Pinckney,
Jasper, Rutledge and probably scores
Of others.
How about Wade Hampton"
t 1.-THE temple will be for dead patriots,
not living. But the name Of Wade
Hampton will not be rejected. Wen
be safe in making an exception in his
case"
Just when the erection Of the temple
will be commenced has not yet been
decided upon; but it is not probable
that it will be long. Maybe the struct-
ure will be dedicated before this Time
next wear.

o'clock, and the ghosts began to dance,
the ghost Of some old-time coachman
would certainly be seized with a desire
to take charge of such a fine team. Lee,
the driver, began to twitch about nerv-
ously, and he declared: IF dem dere

keep up wild me, neither" We had no

to the effect that Ghosts never dis
turb military or newspaper men," and
whatever Lee may have thought. he
said nothing.
AS we approached the vicinity of
Neelys ferry, we began to note signs Of
the extensive operations Of the India
Hook Power company. A bluff that
was heavily timbered year back, Is
now cleared. On its summit stands n
neat two-story cottage that was erect
ed by ]. J. Keller & Co., last summer.
Looking down at the river, which
washes the foot Of the bluff, Is a scene
Of unique activity. A great Golfer dam
extends half way across the river, and
where the water formerly flowed to
depth Of eight or ten feet, some 60 or 70
men are now engaged In blasting out
granite lodges. A little steam pump
throws out the water that flows in
through seams IN the rocks. and two
powerful hoisting engines operate the
great cranes that are used for taking
out heavy boulders. Mr.. Harry Wylie
was down in the thick Of it, seeing that
the work was done according to spec
ifications. The immediate object Of the
present work is to get firm founda-
ton for the power house, which Is to be
on this side of the river. To the writer 1t
looked as if the foundation was al
ready all that could be desired. No

Quite q number Of our merchants are
having new artificial sidewalks laid in
front of their stores. The city does the
work of putting in the curbing and the

pays what 1t would cost to lay brick side
walks towards the expense and the

cost to AUDITORS for the new material is
90 cents a yard.

lairy form shows herself to be of ex'
ceptional dairy merit, but the best
dairy cows so uniformly correspond to
such external characteristics that one
will make no mistake in making the
dairy form his ideal in breeding. Not
all cows with dairy form" show en-
cellence at the pail and churn; but
few, on the other hand, show such ex-
cellence that do not show these ex-
ternal characteristics. 1t is the only
wise course, then, to breed for them,
and to regard the exceptions that oc-
cur as proving the rule"
The distinguishing external marks
that characterize a good dairy cow
which are 80 excellently shown in this
outline-are wedge-shape for the
body, large in the barrel" and rear
quarters, and light and thin in the
~fore-quarters; a large udder with
large, well-placed teats, looseness and
yellowness of skin; severe %leanness OF
body as opposed to the rounded and
plump form of the purely beef an
imal, thinness of neck. ~fineness and
waxiness of horns, a "dishing" face
and full, mild eye. Experience has
shown that the great body of the best
dairy COWS possess such points as have
been mentioned. 1t is safe, then, fol
the breeder to photograph such an
outline as is here given firmly upor
his mind.-Webb Donnell, in Orange
