Supreme Court Decision
From Richland County.

The Elliott Supply company. cor
poration, plaintiff and appellant. vs.
E. L. Green, defendant and respond
ent.
Syllabus:
(1) Where certain defenses are
pleaded but are abandoned on the
trial, 1t is bad practice for the court
to read the answer to the jury or to
refer specifically in his instructions
thereto. It is the better practice to
merely instruct the jury as to what
the sole and only defenses are.
Where, however, the instructions,
taken as a whole. are such as to
make It clear to any reasonably intel
ligent man that these defenses are
not in the case and are not to be con-
sidered; prejudicial error will not be
presumed.
E2) In determining whether the
contract IL divisible or indjvisible. the
intention of the parties should be
sought to be ascertained from an ex-
animation of the entire instrument.
(3) Contract examined and held
to be entire and tndtvisible.
(4) Before an action for the pur-
chase price can be brought upon an
indivisible contract for the sale and
delivery Of q bill of goods, 1t 10 In
oumbsnt upon the plaintiff to show
. full performance Of such contract
on his part and the delivery and
passing of title of the entire order be-
fore q rescission Of such order or con-
tract by the purchaser.
1(6) Where the contract of pur-
chase Is silent as to tho person or
mode by which goods are to be sent,
q delivery by the vendor to a COM
mon carrier in the usual and ordinary
course Of business transfers the prop
srty to the vendee. Yet in the case
Of an indivisible contract the whole
order must be so delivered.
/, (6) Where the purchaser Of sill
verware was a druggist and not en-
gagod in the regular business of sell
Ing such goods, 1t was not error to in
struct the Jury that "if you find from
the evidence that the agent Of the
plaintiff did represent to the dsfsnd-
ant that the prices Of the goods spsc-
lied In the order were the usual
wholesale prices Of such goods; that
