DOG and ACCOUNTANT TOUR STATE
Chas. ]. Moore, Well Know Here, in
"a Little Old Ford" With Dog
Sam Out After Votes.

Expert Accountant Chas. j..
Moore, we'll known in Brookhaven
on account of his many business en-
gagements at this place. passed
through the city this week in a
Ford car with his dog Sam on a
canvass for votes for the office of
Revenue Agent of the State of Mis-
sissippi.
Moore is naturally lover of the
dog family and the animal he is
carrying with him is not being
handled over the 70 counties of the
state altogether to attract crowd
for the competent young fellow
running for the revenue agent S
office. In fact the dog. an English
bull of the ugliest type possible.
and who has a very 'hifalutin' T"
name Of several syIlables. was i'm
ported from England several years
ago by Moore, entered last year at
the Chicago dog show and won a
prize of over 81 900, and is valued
at several hundreds over the same
figure. Irrespective of the dog s
reputation or looks Moore has almost
broken up the speakers audiences
at several public gatherings with
his dog-so unusual a specimen is
he. Moore explains about the dog
to the voters and then about him
self and his desires for the votes of
the people wherever he can get a
crowd. cranks his Ford and is off
somewhere else. This candidate
refuses to sleep in house. turning
down several invitations from in
innate friends here. but prefers to
stop by the roadside unroIl a tent
and camp in the open and cook if
need be, all the necessary parapher-
MALTA being carried in the car. AS

utes a picture of Sam and the ia

IMPORTANT DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED
Supreme Court Says Dogs Take
Chances When Going on Crystal
Ice Co.'s Plant.

Jackson, Miss. If dog, wheth
er collie or some other variety
even mixed. decides to take a bath
in scaldinR hot water, and does j
of its own accord the firm or per-
son responsible for the hot water il
not liable unless guilty of such
gross negligence as to warrant the
imputation of wantonpess. Z"
This is the decision of the su-
preme court. and it was handed
down yesterday in the case of A
| C Cato against the Crystal Ice
Company. of Brookhaven. 1t was
written by Justice Cook.
Briefly the facts in the record
are that the Crystal Ice Company,
which uses hot water in the manu-
facture of ice. had a drain ditch
dug to carry off the waste hot wa
ter. One bright Gay A. G. Cato
went to the property of the compa-
ny to see an employe on business
He " as followed by valuable dog,
which he owned. When the dog
came to the drain ditch he decided
that he wanted bath. He
plunged into the scalding stream,
and suffered burns from which he
later died. The owner sought to
recover damages, and the lower
court of Lincoln County said he
was not entitled to them, giving
peremptory instructions for the
defendant Cato appealed. and the
decision of the lower court was
affirmed
From the decision of the su-
preme court company has right
to dig ditch on its own property.
1t was shown that the ditch that
carried hot water was 500 feet from
the public highway, also that Mr..
Cato was not on the property at
the invitation of the defendant.
and that the dog, too, was an un-
invited guest.

Supreme Court adhere to its decis-
