members OF the local bar and af-
terward appearing h print, at the
expense of couple Of compositors
of this town, we will not OF course
presume to vie with the efforts OF
those glorious rhyming geaiuses
who have long since passed away,
and yet their memory liveth, but
will simply consider the humble
source from which 10 sprang and
treat the matter accordingly. In
the first place there has been
taeit understanding between the
printers alluded TO In the sffors
which was read fresh from the gull
of this astute limb-0f-ths-law,
that we would indulge in o series
of comic doggerel which might be
moderately enjoyed by many OF
our readers whose perusal OF our
light retorts would fail to evoke
their condemnation. However,
we are free to say that it matters
not how little news they contained
or how inconsistent with rhyme
or meter, we are content in knowing
that in

and Lowing, Goes to Law
About a Whistle.
Especial to News and observer)

Winston Salem, N. c., March 23.-Judge
Allen III the Superior Court here heard
arguments in an amusing case. 1t was
an application from DR.. f.. M. Redd for
an order to restrain the Edna Cotton Mills
at Reidsville from blowing their engine
whistle early in the morning on the ground
that the whistle disturbed the doctor $
morning nap. Or. Reed endeavored to get
the Reldsville aldermen to pass an 'ordi-
nance to stop the whistle blowing, term
ing it nuisance, but the board declined
to make such a law. The plaintiff then in
stituted a $4,000 damage suit against the
mill company for continually disturbing
his rest. The mill company introduced COB
alfidavits from mill operatives and other
citizens saying that the blowing OF the
whistle did not disturb anybody In the de-
iendant s answer to the application tor a
restraining order it was stated that DR..
Redd was eccentric, that he had killed
two of his neighbors ROSTERS Tor Growing
at night, that he had killed one or more
of his neighbours dogs for barking at
night, that he had bought one OF his
neighbours cows in order to stop her from
lowing at night, that he had paid the
Baptist denomination not to ring their
church bell, and so-forth. Judge Allen re-
served his decision.
