COAST line LOSES
MUST PAY FOR DAMAGE TO COT
TON OF COPE FIRM.
The Cotton Was Burned While on
the Platform of Defendant Await.
ing Shipment.

LUZ Dill upIuOuIs
The Atlantic Coast Line must pay
for damage to 26 bales Of cott1n
that belonged to the Green-Brabham
Company Of Cope, the cotton having
been destroyed by fire while on the
defendant com pany's platform. The
allegation In the complaint was that
the fire started from spark from
an engine of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The action was brought under
that section of the law which makes
railroad corporations liable for dam
age caused by fire communicated b.
its locomotive engines, Except In
such cases where property shall have
been placed on the right of way of
such corporation unlawfully and
without its consent"
Only few days ago the Supreme
Court ruled that it was not ne"ee-
sary for negligence to be shown In
order that a person having property
damaged might recover from rail-
road corporation. In this case, on
which the Supreme Court rules, the
defendant denied that the fire was
set by It's engine and alleged that the
cotton was there without its consent.
AT the time of the fire and for
several years previous to the time,
the company had kept posted on its
depot notice which said that all
persons were forbidden from plac-
ing cotton or other property in the
right of way Of the company or on
it's premises, unless the same was
rendered for shipment or full ship
ping instructions given to the agen!
al that point. The railroad COM
pany pointed out to Its patrons that
it would not be responsible Cor prop
erty so unlawfully put on its plat
form.
The testimony in the Green-Brab-
ham case tended to show that for
three years the plaintiff had been
buying cotton, and from time to time
it was carried to defendants plat
form and weighed by the public
weigher and left there until enough
had been bought to make up a ship
ment, when plaintiff would call On
defendants agent and get a bill OF
lading.
The defendant company asked tn
verdict be directed on the ground
that plaintiff should have known, by
reading the notice, that the cotton
had been placed there at his own
risk. This motion was refused. The
Supreme Court rules that it was up
to the jury to decide the question
as to whether the cotton was there
with or without consent. The verdict
of the jury for s660.62, was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.

Should Be Hunted Down.

There is a well founded suspicion
that an incendiary set fire to the
barn of Mr. A. F. Edwards, a well-to-
do farmer of Cattle Creek section,
which was burned on Friday night of
last week with its contents. 1t is said
those who reached the fire first smelt
the odor Of kerosene very strongly,
and the supposition is that the fire
was set. The matter should be thor
oughly investigated and the guilty
party hunted down.
