Automobiles and Dust.

Much complaint has been heard In
France during the past summer on
account OF the excessive dustiness OF
the otherwise admirable roads. This
Is ascribed mainly to the increasing
use OF automobiles. IL IS asserted
that houses and chateaux with beau
tiful grounds and gardens have been
rendered virtually uninhabitable by
the clouds OF dust raised by passing
automobiles, and even garden plants
have been seriously damaged by the
thick carpet Of dust spread over
them. IL seems 20 be agreed that tho
remedy is not to be sought through
any change I'm the structure. or the
speed, Of automobiles, but through
some treatment Of the roadways tend

The EllYSOn Decision.

In last weeks COURIER in the
Circuit Court news we printed
what we believed to be an impartial
account of the case of Knowslar
and Broun, receivers, against J.
W. Ellyson, Son & Co. The de-
PENDANTS feel that our publication
has created an erroneous impress
sion, and we therefore gladly pub
lish the following from them:
The general tone of your arti-
Gle struck Us as leaving the i'm
preston on the reader that having
bought lot Of hay and not finding
1t what we bought we had arbitra-
rily sold it at reduced price and
forced the party from whom we
bought 1t TO accept our settlement
without his consent, whereas these
are not the facts in the case.
In the first place you state we
bought this hay from Bryan. Thi,
Is an error. We bought this hay
from ). 5. Thomas, and at the
time we bought and shipped it
Bryan was not known in the trans
action. After the two cars which
were shipped to Roanoke arrived
there they were rejected and we
went there to see them. We found
them in bad shape, a great deal of
the hay being rotten and practi-
cally worthless. We so advised
Thomas who at our request went
to Roanoke with Us at our expense:
and at that time we had 4 letter
from kOwnSlar < Broun. receivers
for Bryan, stating that whatever
action Thomas took with us in the
matter would be satisfactory to
them. Thomas instructed Us to
sell the hay to best advantage for
his account which we did and
rendered him settlement on that
basis. which settlement was refused
by kownslar x Broun, who sued
us to recover for the original price
of the hay. The result was that
the court gave them verdict for
the exact amount for which we
had rendered them our check.
These are the facts as proven
IN the case and we think if printed
would correctly report the same. =
