Railroads Not Liable.

Railroads are not liable for
injury to employees of interstate
carriers, or members of their
families, while riding on free
passes, containing stipulations
that the passenger assumes all
risks while being so transported.
The Supreme Court of the
United States so held in re-
yerslng judgment procured by
Lizzie Thomson, wife of track
hand at Augusta, Ga, for 81. 300
for injuries sustained in rail-
road collision near Mccormick,
S. c.. in 1910.
The court held pass is not to
be regarded as part of the COM
satlon for which the employee
works. but is in reality free. "
and subject to any conditions
the railroad may impose.

DEAD BESIDE TRACKS;
SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT

The dead and mangled body
of S. l.. Boulware. resident of
the Manchester mill village near
Rock Hill. was found Thursday
morning about 9 O'Clock along
side the Southern Railroad tracks
a few hundred yards north of
the Catawba river trestle. The
body was discovered by T. N.
Lemmond, of the Charlotte
Brick company. who was return
ing to the brick plant from the
river. Mr.. Lemmond at once
notified the authorities here and
these in turn notified Coroner
Black at Rock Hill. The coroner.
accompanied by Rock Hill
physician, came over about noon
in an automobile and empaneled
jury to investigate the cause
of Boulware's death. An ex-
animation disclosed that the
throat was cut, the limbs were
broken in several places and the
body was badly bruised.
The verdict of the coroner's
jury was to the effect that the
man had come to his death by
having his throat cut, either by
himself or others and being
struck by a train, though the
jury considered it possible that
the entire accident may have
been caused by collision with q
train.
Boulware was 60-odd years OF
age and the same man reported
missing from his home in the
Manchester mill village nea,
Rock Hill since the previous
Monday morning. He was be.
lieved to be demented and. hav.
ing threatened his own life, tC
have drowned himself in the
Catawba river. Mr.. Boulware'
son is reported to have stated
that razor usually kept by the
dead man in a drawer at his
home had been missing since his
disappearance.
The body was taken to Rocl
Hill for burial.

Our Gold Hill Letter.
Times Correspondence,


We confess that during these
sultry days we feel like writing
like little Johnny did when his
teacher told him to describe a
base ball game. The little fellow
sat for few minutes as if he
were in g deep study and then
snatched up his pencil and
scrawled off hurriedly. mo
game-rain.
We had Brother Nj. w. White
sides with us Sunday. He made
a splendid talk in behalf of the
mill churches.
Our crops are damaged slight
ly as the result of heavy rain
Friday evening in which there
was a little hail. We have about
finished sowing our grain crop.
The fruit crop is good, and is
about its maturity.
We expect to enjoy ourselves
at an ice cream supper at Charlie

fences many of them go and fall
inside the brea5tworks they have
so bravely stormed. The citizens

Lever Bill Passes House.

The Lever bill designed to
eliminate the gambling on cot
ton exchanges was passed by
the national house of repre-
sentatiyes Monday by a vote of
"a to q.
A lively debate preceded the
vote. Democratic Leader Under
wood, favoring the measure,
pointed out that that whole
proposition rested on the pro-
posal that Congress should either
suppress or regulate the cotton
exchanges of the country.
The Lever bill was agreed to
as substitute for the measure
drafted by Senator Smith of
South Carolina. and passed by
the senate. The senate bill
would prohibit the use of the
mails for contracts that do not
meet conditions Of standard
grades and commercial differ
ences. That provision is omitted
from the Lever bill. The senate
bill would not tax contracts for
future delivery. The house bill
levies a tax Of one cent q pound
on all contracts for future de-
livery that do not meet standard
grades and commercial grades as
set out i'm the bill. This tax of
one cent n pound is intended to
be pronibitorv. amounting to
$500 CONTRACT. There are a
number OF other provisions on
dealing in cotton futures de-
signed to eliminate certain
practices of the New York and
New Orleans exchanges.

George L. Guoir.

In the death of George L. Guoir this
community has lost another of it's old
est and most respected residents. Mr..
Guoir was one OF the old timers who
may be said to have belonged to a
former age, having been born in the
earlier years of the past century, who
with their good old fashioned ways
are fast disappearing from the ranks
of the living. Mr.. Guoir passed away
at the old homestead where his father
and grandfather had lived and died
before him and from which he had
never been far or long absent.
Two years ago he fell and dislocated
his thigh but had been able to be
around until about four weeks ago his
powers of body and mind began rap
idly to fail, giving no uncertain tndi-
cation that the end was not far off.
Mr.. Guoir lost his wife ten years ago,
also two sons, one in infancy and the
other Just as he was entering man
hood. He leaves three nephews, the
brothers Dutton, by one of whom he
had been cared for, also cousin, Miss
Anna Dutton, to whom he was much
attached, and two other cousins In the
state of Washington.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon in the church where for so
years he had steadily worshipped and
where he was a familiar figure in the
choir. The services, which were most
appropriate, were conducted by his
beloved pastor. the Rev. George In
gram. and his remains were thereaft-
err laid in the old family burying
ground.

Jingles and JinaIers.

The Jingles sent in for this week 8
contest were a great improvement
over those of a week ago, both as to
quality and neatness.
Jenny Wren would suggest that the
writer's in selecting names under
which they write would not take the
common names of Pat, Polly and the
like. Make up a name. Did you know
the word Nabisco is a made name be-
ing composed of the first two letters
of the name of the Company using II.
the National Biscuit Company" 9th
er firms have done the same thing. If
you use such a name there is little
chance Of its being duplicated in this
contest as some have been.
Jenny Wren has noticed that more
use names that begin with the letter
M" than any other letter. Why is It?
Fewer Jingles found their way to
the waste basket as the rules were
lived up to.
Many little stories with pathos creep
into these contests and also much fun
and amusement.
1t is surprising how many different
walks of life are represented in this
contest; business men, professional
people, college students, teachers, lit
erary people. those living on the farm
as well as the city residents, children,
and some people over three score years
and ten are competing in this contest.
This week over one hundred and fif-
ty new writer's sent in Jingles and we
hope to hear from them again and
have as many more new names next
week. Write. not as you vote, but
early and often.

System Of inspection Of Po-
tatoesCarefu|IyAr
To Satisfaction Of Federal and
State Of Maine Officials.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting Of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. M.
Wednesday,, March rs.

State Commissioner Of Agriculture ].
A. Roberts, who has just returned
from Bangor. where he has been in
conference with railroad officials rel
ative to the State certification of po-
tatoes. in speaking OF the matter FRI
day morning. said that arrangements
have been made for carrying out the
system Of inspection as authorized by
the federal horticultural board and the
State department of agriculture. The
railroad officials have promised their
aid In the matter and the system of
inspection will go into operation Mon
day, March 9.
Prof e. p Shultz OF. Washington,
representing the Federal Horticultural
Board, has temporarily opened an Of
flee in Houlton, and cooperating with
the State agricultural department, will
give the potato growers and dealers or
that section information about the
powdery scab. The work of inspection
is in the hands of State Horticulturist
A. x. Gardner. who Is for the present
located at Presque Isle.
Letters explaining the whole situa-
ton are being sent out by Mr.. Roberts
took county and will be of interest to
people living in rural districts all over
the State. A copy of the letter follows:
"On February 90 the Governor and
Council requested and directed the
commissioner of agriculture to use all
the power and authority of the State
to inspect and regulate the shipment
of potatoes in and out of the State,
and particularly to establish at once
a system OF complete inspection Of all
potatoes in and to be shipped from
the area infected with powdery scab.
On account Of the presence of powdery
scab in the northeastern part of Maine,
the Federal Horticultural Board felt
that a quarantine should be put upon
Maine potatoes, but in view of the fact
that such action would surely bring
great distress to the people Of Maine
the board finally decided to allow the
State OF Maine to organize a system of
inspection and they made certain reg
ulations to control in such inspection.
The same will be found attached here
to.
Following the order Of the Governor
and Council and the action Of the Fed
eral Board. this department calls the
attention of shippers to the regulatory
action of the board. and also to the fol-
lowing statements and regulations:
The infected area at present covers
the railroad stations at Patten and
Sherman and all stations in Arcostool,
| north of Sherman.
.'Mr. A. K. Gardner, State horticul-
turist, will have charge of the work of
inspection, and his o, lce will be at
Presque Isle. Official inspectors will
be placed at the various shipping sta
tions, whose duty it will be to make a
thorough inspection of all potatoes
shipped out of the infected area and
to issue state certificates of inspection
