time the latter part of November, Mr.. O.

runaway. which caused his leg to be
broken, and which kept him in doors for
several months and which now gives him

guaranteed one-twentieth of the face
value of said policy in case of disability
from broken leg, etc. Mr. John w. Will

asking for settlement and after much
worrying a date was set on which to
make settlement. Nothing has been

The lodge here had a membership of
about 40 and the insurance carried by the
lodge was a good nice sum.

respondent by Mr.. John w. Wilborn, a
minister of the gospel, a justice of the
peace and the secretary of the now dis
banded lodge of the Bankers Union of

pale and dull when it is so easy
to get SCOTS Emulsion.
One of the best things
SCOTS Emulsion does is to

valid as between the parties. Berry VS..
White, III n. C. 1877; Brown VS.. DAHL III
N. c. Al Kreth VS.. Rogers, 101 n. c. 1863.
In this case there is no question as to
fraud or the rights of third parties. The
mortgage stipulated for a lien on all
goods purchased after it's date, within
twelve months, and, this being valid, it
is held TO be immaterial whether the
goods, existing at the date of the mort
gage, were partially or entirely exhaust
ed and if entirely exhaused, whether
such exhaustion was due to the goods
having been sold or destroyed by fire.
EZzELL VS.. LUMBER CO., appellant.
