" AAodA % AAiApy llltt5 QCClQSQN IL very
novel case. in which his decision vir-
tually says that when q man increases
another mans bank balance in order to
get hold OF an amount covered by an
excessive check, the amount so depos-
tied is gift to the other man, and
cannot be recovered in Subsequent suit.
The action was between merchants
%. L. Folk, of Suffolk, and j. f. JOY
ncr. of the county, near Ililby.
s Joyner gave Folk a check for S152 on
the Bank of Suffolk in settlement of
an account. 1t was alleged that the
checil was to be presented after ten
days. but that point was disputed. In
about five days Folk presented the
check and found that Joyner only had
$50 to his credit. That amount could
not be drawn by o Sl52 check, so Folk
deposited $40 to Joyners account and
$50.
Afterwards Folk brought suit to re-
cover the $40. He was represented by
McLemore & Corbitt. r. w. Withers
appeared for Joyner. Judge Kilby de-
cded for the defendant
The court held that in accepting the
$50 of Joyner's money on n check for
sl52 Folk by his action agreed to COM
promise. Joyner holds the endorsed
paper for the full amount which Is q
receipt The court incidentally held
that it was not proper to deposit money
TO another maE's account unless au-
thorized
No case like this was ever before de-
cided in Suffolk.

ANOTHER PEANUT PLANT.
1t looks like Suffolk is soon to have
another peanut plant. Plans were prac-
ticall completed to-day for Its COM
ing. i nc prospective owners, who do
not live in Suffolk, and whose identi-
ty 1t Is not wished to divulge as yet,
will probably begin their plant in time
to handle this years crop.
To encourage the coming collection
was to-day taken among business men,
from which n site. will be purchased. 1t
is not definitely known where the fac
tory will be located.
Mayor Brewer said this evening the
Plant would likely be as large or larger
than either one now operating in Suf-
folk
There are plenty business people who
realize the commercial good of peanut
plants, and who are gladly subscribing
to help get a site.
Suffolk's geographical location and
transportation facilities ought to make
1t one of the leading peanut markets
in the world.

Faust" was presented at the Acad-
envy last night and yesterday after
noon by a compan% that ranked as high
as any that ever accompanied Lewis
Morrison to this city. Mr.. Dunbar as
Mephisto was, perhaps, not as heavy
was equally as acceptable, while the
Marguerite of Miss Genevievc Kane
was equal to that of any OF her pred
ccessors. The remainder of tile COM
pany was most acceptable"
