The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1907-10-08

Durham Superior Court for the
trial of civil cases adjourned last
Saturday afternoon. The cases
settled after The Recorder went
to press Friday were as follows:
CHAPEL CASE ENDED.
The time of the court Friday
was taken up principally by the
case of E. E. Chappell VS.. the
North Carolina Railroad CON-
pany, in which Chappell was ask
ing for damages in the sum of
$500. The evidence in this
case tended to show that while
plaintiff was in Durham driving
a team of mules near the Bull
factory the team became fright
ened. That they were fright
ened more by the escape of
steam and blowing of the whistle,
which he claimed was deliberate
on the part of the engineer,
than otherwise. After the evil
dence was all in the railroad at
torneys did not offer anything
to offset but asked for a nom
suit, and it was decided to let
the jury have the case without
any evidence on the part Of the
road.
After being out all night the
jury returned a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff for S2.O50 dam
ages.
MANNING AND MANN WON.
As was told in our last issue
the case of Drs. Manning and
Mann was argued before the
Judge. Judge Allen decided that
the telephone people had no
right TO charge extra for one
phone where two used it.
In order to understand the
case it will be necessary to &c
back to the beginning. DR..
Manning and DR.. Mann occupied
adjoining Offices and they used
the same telephone. This con-
tinued for sometime and finally
! it was decided by the telephone
managementthat the price should
be advanced from $3.50 to S. on
this account. The advance was
made and refusal to pay the new
price got the matter into the
courts.
| First there was a discontinue
alton of the service and then ar
injunction proceedings got tht
service back into commission
| In ordering that the service bt
restored until such time as The
courts should finally settle the
matter the court directed that
Drs. Manning and Mann pay tht
regular price of $3.50 and give
bond to protect the company ID
case there was a decision against
them. This was done.
| When the case was called be-
fore the jury this week Judge
Allen decided that it was not &
case for the jury but was one OF
law and for the court. He toof
the matter under consideration
and rendered the decision thai
in effect says that the company
has no right to charge additiona
for a service of this kind-thaI
liz the telephone is rented anC
paid for the company ha:
nothing to do with the use oI
the phone.
The attorneys for the compan!
gave notice of appeal but it IL
not known whether the case vii
90 up or whether the present
decision will be allowed to stand
After the disposal of this cas-
Saturday morning the case o.
Mrs. Matthews against the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance com
pany for $500 the amount Of |
policy on the life of her husband
The jury gave a verdict in heI
favor.

Men Who Are Building Up
Our City Trade.
SKETCH OF Mr.. JAMES 6. DODSON
Graduated With Highest HOnOrS at
the New York College of Phar-
macy, flOnOred by His Fell
low Pharmacists of
Georgia.
SKETCH OF Mr.. JAMES 6. DODSON

Mr.. James GlenwelI Dodson, one OF
the most prominent pharmacists OF
Georgia, was born at Smithville, on
July IA, 1876. He is the son of the late
Col. James Dodson, prominent attor-
ney of this section. His mothers maid
Ell name was Miss Georgia Murray.
When the subject of this sketch was
five years of age his parents removed
to Americas, which has ever since been
his home.
In the public schools of this city Mr..
Dodson received his general education,
lacking one year of graduating from
the Furlow High School when he enter
ed business life, securing a position
with local druggist, in whose en-
ploy he remained three years, getting
good practical insight into pharmacy
and the conduct of drug business.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-06-02

When eighteen years of age he de-
ton, and accordingly entered one of
the finest institutions in the country,
the New York College of Pharmacy,
branch of Columbia University.
There he took the two years course
with distinction, being greatly aided
by his prelimary knowledge of the
business.
He graduated from the College in
1897, holding the unique record of
| being the only graduate who had ever
passed a final examination with an
any one branch. In Pharmacy, the
most important study IN the curricu-
lum, Mr.. Dodson passed a faultless
examination, and received the congratu-
lations of the faculty on his perfect
work.
Returning to Georgia Mr.. Dodson
then passed the examination before the
Georgia Board and at once opened
business for himself in the same stand
now occupied by him on Jackson street.
There for ten years he has conducted
a prosperous and constantly growing
business.
In June 1900, Mr.. Dodson was elected
by the Georgia Pharmaceutical Associ-
alton, and was appointed by Governor
Gambler, to fill an unexpired term on
the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy,
being the youngest member of any
State Board in the United States.
Two years later with the unanimous
endorsement of the State Pharmaceu7
| teal Association, he was reappointed
| by Governor Gambler for the full term
of FIVE years. A year later he was cleo
| ted chairman of the Board, the highest
honor that can come to pharmacist in
Georgia in the line of his professional
work.
In these several instances was attes-
ted the confidence felt in Mr.. Dodson
on theIpart of his professional brethren
throughout the State.
On November II, 1902, Mr.. Dodson
and Miss Clara May Lewis, of Albany,
Ca, were married.
Mr.. Dodson is a member of the Fur
low Lawn Baptist Church. He is a
member of the knights of Pyth1as and
Elks.
Mr.. Dodson has achieved a large
measure of success in his chosen calling,
and has the promise of an expanding
trade as the years pass on.
ST attrif7,--ss =: - - my success to three
things says he. >~v kind OF ",
First, keeping good goods;
Second, giving good service.
Third, keeping the public acquaint-
ed with the facts
In other words, Mr.. Dodson believes
IN advertising, and that no matter how
able man, or how fine the quality Of
his goods, the public must be made to
know the facts before it can be
expected to give him its patronage
Next Sunday the Times Recorder
will publish a sketch of Mr.. r. E.
Allison, president Of the Allison Furni.
ture Co., and also of the Allison Realty
Co., and one of Americas most pro.
gressiye and successful young business
men.

OVER 100000 FOR
FOREIGN MISSIONS
Baptist Board Closes Books and Announces Most
Notable Record In chmchs History.

The Foreign Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention has closed
its books with every assurance of a not
able victory. The board is well beyond
the S4OO, 900 mark. which it had set as
the standard for the year, and the con.
tributions TO missions will aggregate at
least % per cent. more than those of the
preceding twelve months.
Letters and kilograms arrived, over
100000 coming in the last day or two.
Exact figures are not yet ObtaiDable, but
the Indications are that the Increase over
last year will be about 100000. This
will enable the board to close its year
without any debt and to make a clear
report to the coming Southern Baptist
Convention, which meets in Richmond
this month
During the past ten years the Foreign
Mission Board has increased its force
from 16O missionaries to 500 mission
aries. The reports from the workers on
the field Indicate gratifying advance in
the work

sionaries in China, Japan, Brazil. Africa

this signal having been agreed upon in
case the board was able to close its year
without debt. The missionary who re-
eeives this message will at once write or
wire to those at interior points, so that
by the time the convention meets every
baptist in the field will be reioieinQ with
the great hosts of Raptists who will meet
in Richmond.
