Treasurer E. A. Rothrock say
that Churchland High School ha
been given the first $3.50 aske(
for to supplement a like fune
raised among the people, and tina
the stateaa authorities have under
consideration the second request
for $3.50. II WAS thought sa Arst
that the school would have only
$500, half from the state and hall
from the people, but the people
decided to raise all additional
$3.50. Reeds also has applied for
$3.50 for a high school there.
Court held until the last minute
On Saturday. Quite number of
cases were disposed of. The case
of Mathew Bosch excited the most
interest. He sued the Southern
for $4,000 damages for injuries
and got a verdict for $4,000. This
was commonly considered exces-
sive and Judge M. H. Justice in-
timated that he might set it aside
at Rowan court this week. The
estate Of Joseph Carrick, colored,
who was killed on the Southern
near Llnwood, was settled for
$3.50, The clerks judgment was
confirmed in the case of W. H.
Philips, admr VS. Lee Westmore-
land. Dorset and Grimes received
Judgment for $3.50 for damage
to horses en- the Southern. There
we're other minor cases.
Bob Black, who cut his son dur
ing row at their home in the
country, was brought here last
week by E. D. Kennedy, deputy
sheriff, and placed in Jail in de-
fault of $3.50 bond. It is stated
that bail will be furnised soon.
John L. Black, who was cut, is
said to be getting we'll.
Last week, DR.. J. II. Mock, of
Thomasville, through his attor-
neys, made answer to the COM
plant filed by Winston Fulton,
who, it will be remembered al
leges that DR.. Mock estranged the
affections of Mrs. Fulton. The
complaint makes specific charges
against the physician, all of which
he denies in his answer, and says
that they are false and are made
for the purpose of matchmaking
and extorting money from him.
The case was not touched at this
court, but will probably come up
in February. It promises to be
one of the hardest fought legal
battles in sometime. There is al
array of very able lawyers on
each side. On account of the sen.
sational nature of the suit, which
is for heavy damages, great in
terest will be manifested.
They say now that one of the
potent causes of the tightness of
money was this. In New York
wealthy men, who had as much
as a half million dollars, some
more, others less, foreseeing that
they could make a fortune by
creating a strlngency of money,
withdrew their deposits, hundreds
and thousands and millions Of
dollars, and then sold the cur.
rency at a premium. One man
sold 100000 in currency at a
premium of So, 900, took certi
, fed check and then loaned the
, check at high rates. The banks
r say they know the folks who die
this, and will spot them in the
, future, when they ask for accom-
modation. Thus it is shown how
a few rich men can throw tht
g whole country into turmoil.
