Verdict for Standard Oil Ordered.

The Supreme Court issue of Wilkins &
Bro VS.. The Standard Oil Co., came to a
sudden end last Friday, when after argu-
ment by counsel, Judge Lloyd directed the
jury to return verdict for the defendant.
The defense in the arguments on the
motion to direct verdict contended that
the plaintiffs had failed to show that the
defendant had placed gasoline in the tank
on the day of the explosion, and had not
proved the liability of the defendant.
The plaintiffs counsel held that the
points upon which the Supreme Court had
ordered tine case sent back for new trial
had all been met by the testimony offered
by the plaintiff and that the facts in dis
pute were Jury questions alone
/. Judge Lloyd held that the same state Of
facts exist as in the former case and a YER
dict for the defendants was entered.
Counsel for the plaintiff will carry the
case to the Court Of Errors.

small. The educated man can get things
done. =
'0yer half the men in high Office are
college graduates, and considering that
only two per cent Of the people are we'll
educated the advantages of education are
thus clearly demonstrated. Education is
worth while-
Cali men should not have college edu-
cation. Lincoln, was probably better off
without it. His greatness came from his
close connection with men, from his love of
men, and from his ability to understand
the trend of public sentiment
He gave an example of a college grad
uate placed in bank with person with
out college education. The latter knew
something of the principles of banking, Of
which the former was entirely ignorant
The man with college education started a
little slowly, while the other one got along
well Immediately. Soon, however, the
college man began to pick up. He readily
grasped the banking business, and now the
president of the bank declares that he shall
employ only college graduates, for they
haye the power for getting along in the face
of difficulties. The educated man has
influence. While in college he learns to
get along with men. 1t prunes his irregu-
larities It gives harmonious relations,
and finally learns him to give up his own
will and wishes. =
| Ia conclusion be said The teachers in
our schools should have the ability to touch
human nature, and that this school as we'll
as other good schools gives to its graduates
the living and optimistic hope Of advancing
the standard Of mankind among whom he
has set out. y
Mr.. Underwood in presenting the di-
plomas TO the graduates, told them TO keep
an aim in life tsIt is not for you, be
said. TO live selfish lives, but to put forth
the best that is within you. Do your best
for one another
| After the flowers bad been laid ID 'front.'
Of the graduates, the Rev. J. E. Howard
closed she exercises BY pronouncing she
benedIction.

Broadway, one station on either side of the
steam tracks, one each for outgoing and in
coming passengers. On the south side of
the electric road will be placed the station
and ticket Office. Passengers for either the
electric road or the steam road will buy
their tickets at this office. The waiting
rooms will be large and fitted with modern
conYeniences, with glass sides which will
render them very light and pleasant It is
expected she new station will be completed
sometime in the fall.
Although the West jersey & Seashore
Railroad shows greater net profit for the
first i've months Of 1908 than any other
branch Of the Pennsylvania road, economy
is the watchword apparently this year. In
years past nearly eYerv station had its large,
grassy mounds and beautiful flower beds.
The mounds are still there, but no flowers,
and in many places the grass is not even
moved. AT Clayton the agent has made
good use Of the flower beds and planted
them with radishes. lettuce and tomatoes,
from which he gathers sufficient for the use
Of bis family. The stations which were for
merly kept bright by fresh paint now begin
to look dingy. Ice water is now rarity
on the trains.

The Green Forest tribune., 1908-08-21

IN our announcement column will be found the name of A. J. Russell asking for reelection to the office of circuit clerk and recorder of Carroll county at the September election. While MT. Russell differs from us politically we concede to him the high privilege of submitting his aspir- ations to the people and especi- ally can we commend him to our Republican readers. In fact, as a county official we can com- mend him to every tax payer of Carroll county. The county has never had better or more accommodating circuit clerk and the people who have transacted business in that office have never done so with a more pleasant, agreeable gentleman. He has never given any unnecessary publicity to any papers or busi- ness that came into the office, and this is an important feature for voters to consider.-Berry vile Star.

The Farmers Institute.

On account of the nearness of our time of printing The Tribune, no report was made of the farmers institute advertised for Wednes- day afternoon of last week, under the direction of representatives of the experimental station at Fayetteville.
 Owing to a change in his plans, Col. Vincenheller, director of the station, was not present, but two able men from the station were present in the persons of Profs. J. Lee Hewitt and w. s. Jacobs, the former being horticultural specialist and the latter an au- thority on poultry.
 The meeting was held in the ware room at the cannery, and while the proceedings were seriously interrupted by the rain storm that ragged so heavily, the attendance and intesest were both good and the occasion may we'll be pronounced a success.
 We did not have time to be present during all the proceedings of the meeting, nor have opportu = nity to interview the speakers and others to find out just what the feeling was as to the result, but a letter from Prof. Jacobs dated at Leslie, speaking for himself and Prof. Hewitt both concerning the Green Forest meeting, says:
 "It has seldom been our privi- lege to address a more enthusi- astic or interested crowd" /"
 Prof. Hewitt then went on to compliment the paper for the in- terest we had manifested in the success of the meeting.
 If there is anyone thing the people of Green Forest ought to be thoroughly interested in, it is matters such as were discussed by these gentlemen. We can always promise a crowd when vital questions to the farmer and fruit raiser are to be discussed here.
