Congress has a serious problem
to face in providing adequate
laws against dumping" Dump
ing is the selling of a product in
a foreign country at a lower price
than it is sold at home. In the
rebuilding of Europe, which must
follow the war, the United States,
in all probability, will be the OBJ
ject of a dumping campaign by
foreign nations. If this should
happen, the markets of this coun-
try would be demoralized. The
United States is rich. Foreign
nations, broken in fortune, by
every trick of trade, will attempt
to rebuild their fortunes at the
expense of the United States.
Canada, South Africa and Au-
STRATA have laws to prohibit
dumping. The necessity for ade-
quate laws for the United States
is an immediate one.

Gets Another Judgment

Wilev Hill, who was awarded a
judgment against The Carter
Coal Co. in the Knox Circuit
Court for SIS, 600 in 1914, and it
having been set aside by the
Court of Appeals, was again
awarded a judgment in the same
court Wednesday for S4, $50. The
plaintiff was represented by Col
den & Lay and the defendant was
represented by Black & Owens.
This shows you can hardly find
two juries that will see a case
the same way.
In the case of Girdner against
the Cumberland r. r. Co. for
the loss of his boys leg resulted
in a verdict of $2,0 900 for the boy
for permanent injury and $1,000
for his father for loss of services
of the boy. The plaintiff was
represented by Sawyer A. Smith
and the defendant by Black &
Owens.
There has been a lot said about
T. F. Fuson suing the Cumber-
land R. R. Co. for humping some
cars against him. He is the
father of thirty children. The
jury brought in a verdict for the
railroad company. They probab-
ly thought he should put in a

Appellate Judge in the seventh

for the Appellate Judgeship in
this part of the district, is busy
holding his court in Barbourville

ready assigned for nearly every
day in the term, but the Judges
friends, it is understood, are
working on the organization for
a systematic and effective cam
paign in behalf of Judge Samp-
son for the nomination. Politi-
cal news from other parts of the
district, indicate that his candi-
dacy is taking well with the Re-
publican voters generally. His
friends declare that his past Off
cial record both as County Judge

reputation as a lawyer and jurist
place him before the good people
of this DISCREET as a logical candi-
date at this time, and a winner
in the race.
