SIS DAMAGES IN
BIG ROAD CASE"
Jury Awards w. v. Keeton that Sum
After Hard FiQht Through
Two Courts

The celebrated "road case" which
has consumed about as much time
in court and totalled about as much
in costs as the famous "hog case"
in Boyle county, was finally decided
by a jury in Circuit Court Monday,
which handed down a judgment,
awarding W. V. Keeton, of the Hub
BILE community the sum Of s25 as
damages done to his property by the
slicing of l-20th of an acre from
his property in order to change the
turnpike so as to permit the building
Of a bridge over Hanging Fork
Creek. The trial in the circuit court
was on appeal from a judgment Of
the county court which gave a judg-
ment of S25 in favor of Mr.. Keeton
for damage to his land. Mr.. Keeton
asked for $500 damages for his loss,
but lost both below and in the high
err court.
Innumerable witnesses were intro
duced on each side, some of whom
testified that the damage to Mr..
Ntttuu property WIS as IuuCu o.
$1,000. Others testified that the
building Of the bridge and the rails
ing of the road to the higher level
would be a positive advantage to
Mr.. Keeton and the other property
owners along the route.
The style of the action was W. V.
Keeton against Wilson Alexander
and the other property owners in
that section who were interested in
having the bridge built over Hanging
Fork. The array Of legal talent for
terested in the suit was quite for
midable. For Mr.. Keeton appeared
Attorneys Henry jackson, Emmett
Puryear, of Danville. X. S. Alcorn.
of Stanford. For the other side
were the attorneys John W. Raw
lings, of Danville. George d. Flor
enee and T. j. Hill. Jr.. of Stanford.
The jury was taken out to the
place in issue on Saturday in a bus
and viewed the premises.

BURGLARY BY WHOLESALE
Committed At Wade's Store at Wal
nut Flat-NeQro Suspected.

The store Of J. B. Wade. in Wal
nut Flat section, was burglarized
Friday night of about s35 worth of
goods, mostly flour, lard, bacon, etc.
Officers are hot on the trail of the
burglar and believe that they have a
clew which will lead to the guilty
party. No money was taken.
The front door of the little store
was broken in, entrance being af-
fected in this way, and the burglar
seems to have carted off the booty
by the wholesale in q wagon. A
young negro who works for Mr..
Wade saw a negro man driving near
the place late that night, and this
is believed to be the criminal.
Mr.. Wade reported his loss to the
officers here Saturday and they
took the trail at once, and it is be-
lieved that the culprit will soon be
behind the bars.

TO SEND MAIL CHEAPER,
POSTAL DEPARTMENT WOULD
PAY FOR WHAT TT GETS.
Stewart sGives Expenditures for Last
Year as $81, ,O42, ,2O9-HOpes to
Save Some Money.

washington, Jan. "A feature of
the annual report Of JOS. Stewart,
second assistant postmaster general.
is recommendation that the gov
ernnlent shall pay only for what it
roreiN es in the transportation of the
mails. An elaborate discussion Of the
prop osed plan Of Postmaster General
Hitchcock to pay the railroad for
actual service performed is presented.
This plan, it is urged, would eliminate
all distinction between payment for
weight and payment for space and
would be based on the space occu-
pied by the mails in transit and the
haul of the same.
This plan would enable the govern
ment to transport the mails at the
rate Of six per cent above actual
cost OF the roads and would give to
the interstate commerce commission
authority to resolve any differences
that might arise between the rail-
roads and the postoff1ce department
as to an equitable adjustment of the
pay.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1911, the expenditures Of the second
assistants bureau aggregated $751;
o42.20s. The appropriations for the
current fiscal year amount to $S7,s93,-
$50. all Of which. probably, will not
be expended. because Of economies
that have been introduced.
Recommendations concurred in by
the postmaster general to congress
for new legislation for the service
are submitted. Among the changes
sought are readjustment of COM
pensation for the transportation of
mails by railroads to permit the pay
ment OF vessels Of the second class
on mail routes to South America, the
philippines. japan, China and Aus
tralia. 1000 miles or more in length,
at a rate not exceeding that applica-
BILE to vessels Of the first class.
There aiso were recdnfmended laws
affecting the welfare Of the employees
OF the postoffice system.

OF consideri' ss al which will be
ton, 90 ,owards creating and op-
er State warehouse system for
w cotton. The proposed bill has
drawn and modelled, it is under
-tood after the Louisiana plan. -
The bill to be considered at this
meeting will probably be that drawn
up by ex-senator John H. McLaur;n
Of Bennettsville, who framed the
measure AT the request of Don Nc
Queen Of the Marlboro delegation.
The bill framed by Mr.. McLaurin,
though modelled on the so-called
Louisiana plan, differs. from that sys-
tenn in several respects, due to diff
ferent conditions in this State.
Under Mr.. McLaurin's plan there
would be created State warehouse
commission with superintendent. in
general charge. The commission
would be empowered to construct, ac-
quire and maintain system of ware
houses for the storage Of cotton with
a view to scientific marketing. The
commissi IN will be empowered to
issue bonds to pay for the warehouses.
