Circuit Court Reversed and New
Trial Has Been Granted.

Columbia, Oct. ga decision
given by the Supreme Court orders a
now trial OF the case Of S. NJ. Finch
against the Atlanta and Charlotte
ar Line Railway. The Oconce coun-
ty court is thus reversed. There was
a verdict awarded in the sum Of
$4,000 for the death Of Carl Finch,
who was employed as a brakeman by
the railway company, in 1907. The
Supreme Court opinion is by Asso-
ciatc Justice Woods.
Young Finch was killed by a pas
scngcr train Of the company near
Crosswcll station. He was brake
man Of freight train and had gone
back to flag a train
1t was alleged that there was not
sufficient help in running the trains
OF the company; that the rules with
regard to running trains were not
strictly enforced and that Finch was
ovcrworkcd. This was the contcn-
ton Of the plaintiff. The railway
company denied that there was any
evidence OF wilfulncss and wanton
ness. Contributory negligence was
set up by the company.

$75O,OOO DAMAGE DONE.
Hudson Estimates GcOrgin'S Loss at
$4,000 Bales of Cotton.
(Atlanta Journal, 1st.)


The Georgia cotton crop was dam
aged to the extent Of S750,000 by
the recent cold wave, which accom-
panied by premature snow storm
and killing frost, according to Com
missioner Thos. G. Hudson, of the
agriculture department. Mr.. Iud-
son returned to Atlanta Sunday
night from a tour Of inspection that
carried him all over the State. and
he believes his estimate IS 4 conser-
vativc measure Of the damage.
81 believe from what have seen
myself of the cotton crop. and from
reports received by the department,
that $4,000 bales Of cotton were de-
stroycd outright by the killing frost, -
said Commissioner Hudson.
"The frost was the heaviest
have seen in years in Georgia at this
season OF the year, and. under Ordi-
nary circumstances the loss would
have been ruinOus to the farmers
The Georgia crop, however. was al
ready unusually short, and | am now
convinced that the total production
in the State will not exceed 1.300.-
900. us against 100000 or 2,O00.-
600 bales under normal conditions" "
