= VERDICT e,vEN TO pLA,rrlrr
For injury Sustained BY Falling
Shad.

After remaining out more than TWEEN
ty hours the jury in the case of Martin
versus the city returned verdict yes
terday afternoon awarding the plaintiff
damages in the sum of $500 for alleged
personal injury sustained in the falling
of shed on Lee street nearly year
ago. Martin sued the city for ten
thousand dollars. but the jury failed
to see it that way and, after celebrating
upon the ease for some time, returned
verdict for $500, as stated. Martin
with number of negroes, was stand
ing beneath a shed on Lee street in
front of the former Byne building when
it collapsed, bruising some of the
negroes considerably and resulting in
sundry damage suits against the city.
Judge J. A. Hixon represented Harris
in the above suit, while Mr.. j. b. Hud-
son represented the city,

CONSIDER THE SCHOOL BONDS
As Providing Means for Additional
School 70 IN.

The action of the board of education
in recommending to the city council the
erection of another public school build
ing in Americas, and the issue of 49,
900 of bonds to cover cost of same was
discussed with interest yesterday, and
doubtless such elections would result in
favor of bonds. The need ofadditional
school facilities in Americas is impera
tive. as the buildings now used are of
insufficient capacity to meet the dc
mands of our rapidly increasing popu-
lation. building costing $25, 900 would
be a handsome one indeed and will fill
all requirements for many years. Loca-
ted in the residence portion of the city
it will be an ornament as well as most
useful, and the movement to secure
such building istalready popular here.

MEETING VERY IMPORTANT ONE
Council Tonight TO Discuss Affairs q
State.

The meeting of the city council to-
night will be an important one, mas
much as several subjects of interest
will be discussed. At this meeting the
council will probably call the election
for voting upon the electric light and
street railway proposition, to be held
at an early date, wherein the voters of
the city will vote for or against ratifi-
cation of the action of council in the
premises. The matter ofissuing bonds
for the erection of another public school
building will likewise be discussed to-
night. 1t is proposed to vote upon
both propositions at the same election,
and that date will mark an important
epoch in the history of Americas if the
election is so ordered.

SChnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Crown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have SChnappS
Quality Only On the Outside
OF the PLUG

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacCo The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is lue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two Chews of such to-
bacco The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in VIC
1ation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A

BOARD HAS CONDEMNED
OVER ZOO BUILDINGS

During the period of eight months
since the Board of Condemnation of
Insanitary Buildings has been in exist

such buildings in the city, IO3 of which
have been demolished. In many in
stances handsome modern buildings are
being erected in the places Of the old
dilapidated structures that were an
eyesore to the architectural beauty OF

Kelly, DR.. William c. Woodward. Health
Ofhcer, and Snowden Ashton. Building
inspector. As opportunity affords To
permit these gentlemen 10 take the nee
essary time from their multifarious du-

ton Is made, and orders issued for the
razing of the Objectionable buildings

promptly complied with, and II has NOT
been necessary TO resort TO the legal
proceedings to carry out it's orders.
