Court Proceedings.

When The Dispatch went to press
last week the trial of the case Of Mrs.
Tilla Bacon Livingston, of Columbia,
against the Southern Railway Com
pany, was in progress. Tie case did
not 60 to the jury until Friday at
noon, having consumed practically
four days. After remaining in the
room for about two hours. the jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of So, 800. Mrs. Livingston sought
to rec over Sc, 900 damages for the al
legged killing of her husband, j. W.
Livingston, by a passenger train On
the 3rd Of April, 1909.
The feature of the case was the
powerful presentation Of the defend
ants case by Col. George Johnstone.
the brilliant attorney of Newberry. In
a speech of more than two hours Col.
Johnstone made an argument the like
of which mas never been made in a
Lexington court room in damage
suit. Col. George Bell Zimmerman,
leading counsel for the plaintiff, made
a masterful argument for his client.
Assisting Mr.. Tin norman on the side
of the plaintiff were: Eird & Dreher,
T. y. Callison, and J. VIM. Thurmond.
Col. George Johnstone, Ex-senator
Sharpe and Col. J. Brooks Wlngard
represented the railroad.
This was the only jury case tried last
week. Judge Memminger, however,
disposed of number of other cases.
THIS WEEK.
On Monday the case of G. E. Flea
zer, of Rlchland county, against the
Southern Railway company was be-.
gun. The plaintiff is represented by
Nelson, Nelson & Gettys of umbia,
and Messrs Efrd & Dreher of Lexing-
ton. Col. tombstone appears for the
railroad.
The plaintiff is seeking to recover
$4,000 for injuries to his eyes alleged
to have been received in the city of
Rock Hill on the 23rd of January,
1909, while the plaintiff was employed
as member of wrecking crew,
which was clearing wreck in the
yards at Rock Hill.
The case will be concluded with the
arguments of counsel and the Judges
charge today, the evidence having
been completed at the hour of adjourn
ment last night.

Work Commenced on

Yesterday the contractor commenc-
ed work on Lexington's ew ten thous-
and dollar school building i" tie
eastern part of town, on the nagnifi
cent site donated by the Anderson
Real Estate ard Investment company
and the citizens living in that portion
IF town. 1t is hoped to have the build
ing completed within four months.
The school is growing every day, the
ATTENDANCE being record breaking,
The people of the district as well az
those in other parts OF the county are
taking advantage of our excellent
school facilities, and are rushing their
children this way. When the new
building is completed there will be
plenty of room for all, but until then
it is doubtful if the old building will
suffice.

Man, II, Kills Wife, 20
Woman Slain while Asleep, Slayer Re-
fusing to Civ Cause.

Macon, Ga, November 12.-Mrs Liz
zie Mccall, aged 70 years, was shot
and killed by her husband, Roger Nc
Call, aged II years, while she lay
asleep in her bed at her home, 4th and
Mulberry streets, this evening. Nc
Call then barricaded him-s If in another
bed room, and when the sheriff arrived
ON the scene and broke down the door,
ne was found lying on the bed sound
asleep with shotgun by his side and
on the focr lay half-pint bottle,
which had contained whiskey.
Mccall told the sheriff that after he
fired the shot he drank the contents of
the bottle and Immediately went to
sleep. The old man declines to make
a statement. He is known to have
been drinking heavily for two or three
days.
The only words he uttered before he
was confined in cell at the jail after
being told that his wife was dead,
were: "Well, I'm d-n glad of it, for
she was mean as HI to me-"
The couple are said to have rrel-
led during the afternoon about . nting
a room to couple OF young men, the
aged husband protesting. His action
is attributed to the fact that he was
crazed with drink. The dead woman
and her husband had been lifelong
residents of Macon and the family is
we'll known through Middle Georgia.
Mrs Mccall had been an invalid for
twelve years and had been confined to
Ter bed for several weeks. Two sons,
G. L. and R. M. Mccall, live in Macon.
The other children are R. A. Mccall,
of Milledgeville, and R. N. Mccall and
Mrs Irene Mangum, both of Jackson
vile, Fla.
