Items From Pine Ridge.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Farmers are greatly behind with
their work. The ground, in many
places, is still too wet to plow.
Wheat and oats are looking fine,
the warm weather being very favora-
BILE, especially to spring oats.
Farmers are busy hauling fertilizers
these days.
Peach trees are in full bloom, but I
fear they will be killed little later
about April.

An Important Case Before Mag
istrate Derrick.

Magistrate G. A. Derrick on Friday
last heard a very important case, that
OF G. S. Raoch VS.. Amos Dickerson,
in which the plaintiff introduced claim
and delivery proceedings against the
defendant, for the manure accumulat-
ed by the defendants stock while he
was in possession of the premises. To
the average person it would appear
that the tenant has the right to the
manure. but the law says not.
The case was given to the jury after
arguments of counsel for both sides
and charged by Judge Derrick. TIE
plaintiff requested the court to make
the following charge, which request
was complied with:
/. charge you as a matter of law
that Manure made upon a farm by
the consumption of its products in the
ordinary course of husbandry is a
part of the realty. 1t cannot be sold
or carried away 81 tenant without
the landlords consent.
Q. manure made on farm occu-
pied by a tenant in the ordinary
course of husbandry is by usage,
practice and the general understand
ing so attached to and connected with
the realty that in the absence of any
express stipulation on the subject, an
out going tenant has no right to re-
move it or sell it to be removed.
4. "Where lands are rented for agri-
cultural purposes, the manure on the
premises at end of tenancy made by
tenants stock is property of the land
lord.''
The jury found for the plaintiff.
The case was hotly contested on both
sides, the plaintiff being represented
by F. E. Dreher and T. G. Sturkie
and the defendant by J. B. Wingard.

the engine having caught the brave
young man as he leaped for his life.
The fireman was more fortunate,
however, he having escaped with only
slight injuries. A negro, by the name
OF Lowman, who, it is supposed, was
stealing a ride, was killed. The con-
dnctor was slightly injured and the
passengers received general shake
up.
Bob Hubbard was only "a years
old and popular. He was married
aboutt three years ago to Miss Lena
Haasdm an ghter Of Col. and Mrs.
