CORN WHISKY AND WHAT IT
WON'T DO. Plaintiff. lumberman
telegraphed for foup gallons of whisky
for his raft hands. The telegram was
misdirected through the fault of the
telegraph agent. no whisky arrived and
the raft hands refused to work. The
freshet was at its height and because
the raft hands refused to go into the
water without the whisky RATS
were constructed and the benefit of the
freshet was lost. Plaintiff recovered
over $500 damages. The judgment was
reversed. however, by the supreme
court OF North Carolina, in Newsome
VS. Western Union Telegraph compa-
NY, 60 Southeastern Reporter, 10, as the
damages were too remote and uncer-
tain. In the opinion of the court. it
required quite a stretch of imagination
to conceive that. had the four gallons
of corn whisky arrived, the raft would
have been properly constructed, loaded
and safely conducted over a heavy
whisky" says the court. lis very po-
tentiol at times, but it cannot be relied
on to produce such beneficent results
as is claimed for in the case. 1t is a
singular fact that in the county where
the four gallons of corn whisky were
expected to produce such unusual re-
suits its use was decried and its sale
prohibited. It was contraband, out
lawed and dealing in it made crime. >

:. A popular writer characterizes a GER

You know the type.
They are the sort who dodge respon-
sibility, slide from under an obligation
and squirm out Of promise.
Many politicians are Of the wabble
pattern.
4 Many men fail to succeed In bust
ness because Of the oscillating dispo
sition. All commerce is founded on
conference.-the confidence reposed by
one person In the promise of another,
whether the promise be implied or by
word of mouth or written. He who
betrays this confidence disQualiies
himself.
1t is not too harsh to say OF such
persons-lnen Or women--that they are
'dt for treason, stratagem and spoils."
1t is the wabbly people mostly who
keep the divorce courts busy. The
marriage compact, by which the fam
lily is maintained and civilization Is
builded, fails to hold them.
Wabble folks lack moral fiber.
