VERDICT OF $4,000 IS
GIVEN TO MADDOX
Railway Case is Finished
Friday
MADDOX VERSUS THE SEABOARD
Plaintiff is Injured While in Employ
of Company Here and Sues tor
Large Sum--VerdiCt of
$4,000 is Given.
VERSUS THE SEABOARD

The case of Z. B. Maddox versus the
Seaboard Airline Railway, complaint
for damages and on trial in Sumter
superior court for two days, was con-
Guided yesterday afternoon when the
jury rendered verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, M. Il B. Maddox.
Five thousand dollars was the sum OF
damages awarded.
The amount named in the suit was
$780, 600, but the jury evidently thought
S., 600 sufficient compensation. Sumter
juries never return excessive verdicts
against the railroads.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Maddox, was for-
merly employed at the Americas
shops of the company, where he was
severely injured while at work on car.
The company was held responsible
therefor, and the suit for heavy dam
agaes was instituted year ago.
The railway company was ably
represented by Col. e. A. Hawkins,
division counsel, while Messrs. Lane
& Maynard, Smith, Berner & Hastings
of Atlanta and J. B. Park of Greensboro
represented Mr.. Maddox in the trial
Just ended.
The case was stubbornly contested
throughout, and a large array of wit
nesses testified therein. In the argu-
ment yesterday Col. Laue and Col.
Park addressed the jury in behalf OF
the plaintiff, while Col. Hawkins did
likewise for the defense.
The Seaboard Railway will doubtless
appeal the case.

TEACHERS 60 HOME AT
CLOSE OF INSTITUTE
Session in Americas is
Ended
GOOD PROGRESS is REPORTED
And Session of Five Days of Interest
to the PedagOgueS--CIOSing Hours
of the SeSSiOn.-ReSOIu.
lions Adopted.
GOOD PROGRESS is REPORTED

The Teachers Institute of Sumter, in
session here since Monday closed yes
terday afternoon. The Institute was
very well attended, and the interchange
of ideas will prove most advantageous
to the teachers who thus strive for self
advancement.
The teachers went upon record for
compulsory education in adopting
unanimously the following resolution
by Prof. j. T. Price.
Any radical change in our laws which
gives rise to the slightest suspicion that
personal liberty is encroached upon, is
difficult to accomplish.
Knowing as we do that the perman-
ency and durability of our govern
ment, the safety of our homes, the pros
perity of our churches depends in
very large measure on an educated,
cultured and refined citizenship.
And, again, it is the history of our,
school system that many children new
er enter a school room and many others
whose attendance is such as to result in
no good to the child, and still others
who fail to receive full benefit of our
schools, thereby reducing the average
far below what it should be.
Now be it resolved by the teachers
of Sumter County in institute
assembled, that we heartily go on
record as favorng compulsory educa-
ton and to that end we ask that our
legislators take the initiative IN
shaping legislation to accomplish this
purpose.
The followi ng named teachers
signed the above resolution:
Supt. w. S. Moore, of the county
schools, J. s. Hitler, j. r. Taylor, F.
4. Morton, j. L. Kenyon, j. N. Mott.
Misses Marietta Brown, Florence
Dunn, Annis Clarke, Elizabeth Me-
Tendon, Kate Hitler, Ophie Markett,
Anna Horn, Kate Brady, Lula Brady.
Cora Cooke, Mary Louise Reese,
Sadie Walters, Foy Mott.
Agriculture and nature study was
the theme of discussion at the morn
ing session, Miss Kate Hitler reading
paper which was highly compli-
mented. A resolution was adopted
asking that Miss Killers essay be
published, a well merited tribute.
Commissioner Moore, Messrs Tay-
lor, Morton and Kenyon supplemented
the program assigned with addresses
upon agriculture and nature study.
The absence of Prof. Collum of Schley,
expected yesterday, was district dis
appointment.
The Institute adopted resolutions
thanking Supt. Moore and the Times
Recorder for courtesies extended
during the session.

DAlNTIEs THAT WILL PLEASE
AFTERNOON CALLERS.
Many Kinds Of Biscuit and Cake, and
Of Course Jam, Arc Served at
This Increasingly Popu.
lar Function.

Since the custom Of taking aft
ernoon tea is not only we'll estab.

danger Of becoming an untimely
feast. 1t is astonishing to note the
numerous little dainties and extra
trimmings which are being served to
pique and delight the appetite. It is no
longer merely cup Of tea and q slice
OF thin bread and butter that may be
expected between four and $50
o'clock; jam has been added to the
list and often hot Scotch scenes and
English muhdns. Besides the tea
table proper there stands usually a
sort Of rack table, pyramidal in
shape and having three shelves, one
above the other and round like plates.
Each one is covered with attractive
china holding some fascinating bis.
cult or cake. Jam Of one or two kinds
is suggested in between them and
after the hostess has ascertained
which jam and biscuit her guest pre-
fers she spreads it for him herself
before passing it on a small plate.
This little attention appears very
gracious.
Among the biscuits those Of

found and jam is spread over them to

To Renew smeIllno salt..

Smelling salts can be made to last
four years If fresh spirits are poured
over the balls of salt from time to
time, SO as to keep up the original
strength Of the mixture. Many people
use spirits Of ammonia in this connec.
ton, but still more powerful speci-
&c may be found In a combination of
this spirit with oil of lavender, in the
proportion Of two parts of the former
to one of the latter, says Woman's
Life. In procuring the ammonia, how.
ever, care must be taken to avoid
choosing aromatic spirits of ammonia
in error, the water which it contains
preventing 1t from amalgamating with
the oil.

CONNECTIONS for Tea Table

tastiness. Other hostesses have fine,
small. nat waters Of whole wheat GOV.
cred with chocolate in their own
kitchens before serving. They are
then above reproach to pass with tea.
The biscuit itself is digestible, the
chocolate tasty and nourishing. Bis
cults covered with cheese, on the
contrary, while highly agreeable to
the taste, are avoided by those hyper.
careful about their diet.
Strawberry jam Is undoubtedly the
favorite for spreading on English
mullins. Blackberry jam or guava
is chosen to spread on the health
food biscuits. especially those made of
graham or whole wheat. Scotch
scenes are spread only through the
middle with fresh butter. These
scenes are very similar to old-fash.
toned soda biscuits and are invariably
served hot. In size they are little
larger than quarter Of dollar. The
number that some people can make
disappear is therefore readily coun.
tenanced.
Wafer toast finds a place at after
noon tea. In making 1t the bread is
cut as thin as possible and 1t is then
toasted until extremely crisp. It is
eaten dry or with jam, but it Is never
buttered.
When cake appears at afternoon tea
the fashion RACES for q rich pound
cake showing through 1t many large
raisins. Europeans invariably refer
to it as American plum cake" and

try. In entertaining foreigners. there

Lyons and other cities of Europe.
There are so many railways in the
Alps at present that it has been
found profitable to gather this ice and
transport it to the cities, where 1t is
preferred to other ice because of its
hardness and lasting qualities. The
ice is blasted and mined in the same
