Southern Public Corporation was in
any way connected with the Florence
Light and Power Company. The case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court. This was one OF the biggest
cases ever tried in the Court of Com

amputate Mrs. Laughlin's right hand
and right foot, and the larger por-
ton OF Lawrence's right hand.

Of Profit to Farmer.

thieves like the one who entered his
hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In
graham of Park Mills, N. Y, will glad
ly furnish chart of the grounds and
guarantee to tie up the dog. A few
mornings ago Mr.. Ingraham entered
the hennery, and to his amazement
found a dozen fowls in place of the
ones that he had missed after the
visit of the thief. He also found hang
ing to a nail in the building a scrawl
which said: Mister Farmer, was
wicked when stole them chicks OF
you, but winged their necks when
hooked 'em from the roost, so could
not put 'em back. Am awful sorry
done it, and will prove what I say by
bringing you other chickens which ]
never stole. Them I took were COM
mon chicks, these are blooded. Never
will I steal any more. Sinner" With
such a conscience, the sinners resolu-
ton is evidence of good business judg-

twice as much as the ones whose
necks were "wringed" when they
were hooked"
