man but later he was the one
wanted.

ROCK SELLERS POOL MARKET.
Price on Rock for Road Work Raised
From so TO rs Gents Per Ton.

FTUlh JU tU 10 btnlS TcT luh.
Tuesday the county commits
sioners were in session and most
of the day was devoted to dis
cussing the good roads question,
and the possibility of getting
rock to macademize them. From
a busidess standpoint it now
looks as if the parties who have
been furnishing rock to the coun-
ty have decided to pool the mar
ket and raise the price on the
material which is so badly need
ed just at this time. The COM
missioners, however. do not pro-
pose to be forced to purchase
rock at the raised prices and
there is every indication that the
roads which are now being grad
ed will not be macadamized soon
unless the price of rock is put
back to the old scale.
The facts seem to be as fol-
lows: Heretofore the rock has
been furnished at so cents per
ton and on the Mineral Springs
road the rock supply sources
seem to have made a pool and
the price of rock was raised to
Is cents per ton. This brought
about the kick. The commission
ers did not think that this was a
fair deal and after discussing the
matter an order was passed that
Superintendent Thompson move
all of his forces from the road as
soon as the grading work is fin
ished, unless the people on the
line of the road agree to furnish
rock at the old price of so cents
per ton.
The commissioners were put
wise" when all the rock men on
the road went up at the same
time. 1T is a strike" said one
of the commissioners. Another
said it was a pool" That ex-
pressed the matter more clearly.
From all indications the men
who have rock to sell, or rather
those who are haulers of rock,
have gone up on their price. The
board will not stand for it.
The Mineral Spring or new
eastern road is a very fine piece
of roadway. 1t has been graded
and for more than four miles th'
road is as straight as can be I'll
and graded as a compass. Th'
commissioners believe that thi.
road should be completed ant
are ready to carry on the work
Yet, in the face of increase il
the price of rock the board ha,
made the order that If this is t,
exist that the entire force b,
moved to some other road a
soon as the grading of the Min
eral Springs road be completed
This will be done if the price o
rock on that road is kept up a
the present high price.

. MRS. 0CrA THOMAS SUES.
Wants $4,000 from all that Pressed
their Claims Durinq her Absence.

|
their Claims During her Absence.
Mrs. Octa D. Thomas has insti-
tuted suit for damages against
seven firms in this city. the suits
being for $5, 900 in each case, ag-
gregating a total of $35, 1000 in
the seven suits. The complaints
have been filled and the suits will
be tried later on in the superior
court.
The firms against whom Mrs.
Thomas has instituted suits are
as follaws: M. Shevel, T. M.
Stephens & Co., M. D. and n.
D. Kerris, trading at Trakas &
Co., C. E. Jourdan, A. A. Thack-
er, w. T. Shepherd, J. J. Bald
win and w. P. Farthing, trading
as the Durham Coal, Wood and
Lumber company.
In these litigations Mrs. Thom-
as is asking damages for the
seizure of her furniture and for
breaking up her business and for
mental suffering caused on ac-
count ofthe attachment against
her property.
The matters that brought
about these suits began some
time ago. The following is a
brief story of what occurred:
Mrs. Thomas had a boarding
house, the Sans Souci, and she
left here for Baltimore, leaving
her house in the charge of Mrs.
Williams, of Oxford. Soon after
Mrs. Thomas left here a num-
ber of her creditors. including
those named above, had attach
ments issued against the furni-
ture of Mrs. Thomas. This twas
taken in possession by Constable
y. M. eagle and stored away in
a barn until the suits were de-
cided. In the meantime Mrs.
Thomas returned from Baltimore
and appeared in the cases. She
beat those who had her property
attached and the attachments
were dismissed. Then she claim
ed her personal exemption and
the court appointed a jury to lay
off her claim, which was done.
The claims covered about all Of
the furniture and this ended the
matter.
Now comes this second phase
of the proceedings. Mrs. Thorn
as ask for damages from seven Of
the firms who attached her prop
erty while she was out of the
city and asks that she be giver
5000 in each of the cases, she
alleging that her furniture wa
, damaged, her business destroyed
, and her reputation damaged b!
, the actions of the firms names
and publication given to thes,
matters. In her claims for dam
: ages she asks much in the wa.
: Of tort damages. on account, a
she claims. of the high hande,
manner in which the action
against her were instituted.
Mrs. Thomas is represented b
f Messrs. Guthrie & Guthrie an
3. Loyenstein and the va,iou
firms interested are represente
e by many of the local bar, mos
l. of the law firms in the city bein
s. interested one way or the otheI
e The litigation promises to be {
e an exceedingly interesting n;
e ture.
