COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

When we went to press last Tues
day evening the court was engaged
in the trial of the case of w. G. Hol-
Engsworth VS.. Seaboard Air Line Ry.
The action was for damages for per-
sonal injuries alleged to have been
received in a wreck at Whitmire,
January 4th, 1915. The defendant
denied that Mr.. Hollingsworth was
injured in the wreck, and alleged
that his troubles were due to other
causes. The trial lasted for three
days, being ended Thursday after
noon Just about the time for ad-
journment. The case was hard fought
throughout. The issue was largely
as to the injuries alleged, as to
whether they were due to the acci-
dent, necessitating the taking of a
great deal of expert medical testi-
mony. In addition to local physi-
clans, the following were present as
witnesses in the case: DR.. Robert
Wilson, of Charleston, said to be a
most eminent authority on nervous
troubles, DR.. Wood of Whitmire, and
Drs. Esthridge, Bunch, Kelly and
Derry, of Atlanta.
The jury charged with the trial Of
the case after being charged by
Judge Wilson remained out the
whole of Thursday night, reporting
a verdict for the defendant on Fri
day morning at the opening of the
court.
The plaintiff was represented in
the litigation by Messrs. Graydon &
Graydon, and Cothran, Dean & Goth
ran of Greenville. The defendant
was represented by Jo-Berry Lyles,
of Columbia, J. L. Glenn of Chester,
and VIM. P. Greene.
After this case only one other jury
case was tried during last week, that
of White VS.. Ataway, an action for
five thousand dollars damages for
false arrest. The defendant is the

 However, on second thought, it ap- pears that the wrong was mostly in the stipulatious in the first place. It seems that 1t would have been best all around to let the courts settle the questions which were put in the stip- ulations governing sale of lots. But, knowing the conditions under which the lots were acquired, it would prob ably be more demoralizing to let peo- pie wriggle out of the consequences of their folly. The situation seems to present some new principles in governmental activity in the United States.
