plaintiff attempted to board one of the
electric cars of the defendant, having
in his hand five cents worth of ice
which he had bought for a sick man.
The conductor refused to allow him TO
board the car, because of ice was In a
crocus sack and was leaking through
so the water would run over the floor
of the car. He informed the conductor
of the urgency of his carrying the ice
to the poor sick man. he offered to
stay upon the platform; he would pay
extra fare for carrying the ice; but
nevertheless the conductor rudely shut
the gate and the car went on. leaving
plaintiff in a deplorable plight. The
day was warm and the ice was swiftly
melting away. The sick man was
waiting and plaintiff was rendered
helpless only to walt for another car
and watch that coveted frozen morsel

unprecedented service he might have
rendered to suffering humanity if he
could have boarded the car. He

the supreme court OF South Carolina
afflrns a Judgment of the circuit court

company and the instructions given to
its conductor assume that 1t may be so

The company had no rule preventing
the acceptance of ice on a car and
