Warmers make the best lace back

that have made the lace back num-

Lace front designs are different
from lace back ones, but in our War

BRANCH VS.. WRIGHT

A right interesting case came up
in court here Monday: that of Walter
Branch VS.. C. E. Wright. The coa-
plainant lives at Winona, and claimed
that some time ago he bought two
bottles Of coca cola. His wife drank
one. which was coca cola; he drank
the other, which seemed to be too
highly eolored. Hence he brought
suit against C. E. Wright for DANA
ges for $1,000.
The case came up yesterday before
Judge Everett and the jury here.
| Messrs. Hill & Witty represented the
complainant and Messrs. Gwin &
| Mounger the defendant. The evil
dence Of the chemist of the A. & NJ.
College was introduced. He had ex-
amined the contents of the bottle
and pronounced it coloring matter
such as bakers and candy makers use.
1t was claimed by the defendant that
no such preparations We're used in
making his coca cola, and that there
fore the bottle, though bearing his
imprint. did not at the time bought
by said Branch, contain liquids made
at his plant, it being easy for people
after using his bottles to refill them
with other liquids. After hearing
the case, it was decided by Judge
Everett that it was desirable that the
Jury and Court should inspect the
bottling plant Of Mr.. Wright's, where
the bottle of coloring matter bought
by said Branch was claimed to have
been put up. After viewing the
plant, its machinery and methods,
and considering the evidence, the
jury promptly decided in favor of the
defendant, C. E. Wright.
There are other suits of a similar
nature pending against Mr.. Wright,
in which parties have claimed to have
found various things in his bottles
of Oca cola and are endeavoring to
collect damages. In fact, it is said.
that since q court awarded 5000
damages recently against d bottline
works to q party who had found some
foreign matter in a bottle bearing It's
stamp, the search for colorings
poisons, bugs, rats, and the like, has
been industriously pursued by diff
ferent individuals in the hope of Sc
curing evidence upon which to has,
suits for damages, The critica
examination given the above case O.
Branch VS.. Wright would indicate
however, that the Lefore court an<
juries must be satisfied beyond
reasonable doubt of the justice O
such claims before they will be allow

the crop short. Each time the cry OF

get enough money to pay their debts
out OF their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. It is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
BY BUSINESS LEAGUE

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Board of Directors of

officers, State and County, on a salary

to the State or County as the case
may be, and,
Be it resolved, that be believe that
| the attempt Of the Revenue Agent to
have back taxes assessed on cotton
held by firms or individuals on Feb
ruary first each year is wrong IN
principle and detrimental to the best
| interest of the State at large, because
cotton so held is probably for the
| benefit of the producer and that the
holders, in most instances, have but q
small equity in it; that the effect Of
the Revenue Agents claim, if allow

cotton to adjoining ports and states,
thus d%epriving our w congresses
and warehouses of the revenue to be
derived from the storage of such cot
ton and our own citizen laborera
from the wages that they otherwise
would receive for handling same.
Be it further resolved, that all the
people have the same rights under
the constitution of the State and
Nation and should be treated alike.
