bly, behind with their work.
We regret to learn that the death
angel visited the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mat Duncan at Easley the other
day and took their little darling baby
boy. The body was laid to rest in
the cemetery Of the Methodist church
at Salem on Sunday last. The be-
reaved parents have the sympathy
OF many friends in their great sor-
row.
The writer has been informed that
w. H. 1alley, Of Salem, has received
his appointment as magistrate for
the Salem section. We believe that
Mr.. Talley is the right man for the
place.
The roads in our section are get
ting in such bad condition that it
is hard to go any place.
The new school building at Salem
is 0 going up, and when COM
pleted will be one of the largest
school buildings in this part Of the
county. The building is 6S by sc
feet and has twelve rooms and an
S-foot hall through it.
Joe Bennett and M. l.. Smith are

TOxAWAY DAM CASE WILL BIZ
Tried Soon--One OF, Forty Suits for
Damages from Dam Break.

Asheyille, NO, March 31.-The
United States Court having failed to
make q test case out Of Cook VS.. e.
H. jennings because Of the failure
of the Jury to agree on q verdict,
the Superior Court of Pennsylvania
county will next undertake q trial,
which all parties interested hope will
result. In q decision by the highest
court deciding the responsibility of
the defendant for damages resulting
from the sweeping away Of Lake
TOxaway dam by the 1916 floods.
The case, which is one Of some forty
Of the same kind, has been set for
trial at Brevard on April 16.
The suit is brought by two South
Carolina counties to recover from Mr.,
Jennings $4,000, alleged to be dam
ages caused by the sweeping away
of the two bridges in South Carolina
by the water when the dam broke
after the great Iains. Cary & Cary,
of Pickens, S. c., and WEIGH Gallo
way, Of Brevard, will represent the
plaintiff, and Merrimon, Adams and
Johnston, Of Asheville, and Chas. B.
Deaver, of Brevard, the defendant.
The case Is interesting to lawyers
because, although there have been
cases of dams breaking in the State,
none Of them has reached the SUI
preme. Court, 1t Is said, and there is
no decision to guide the Superior
Courts In deciding to what extent
the owner Of a dam Is responsible
when 1t breaks and causes damage
to other property. If the owner en-
ploys the best engineers and builds
a massive structure, sparing nothing
to make 1t safe, Is he held RESPONSE
bic II 1t is swept away by a cloud
burst, Or earthquake, or some such
cause? 1t is said to be agreed that
the owner would be liable If he built
a flmsy dam.
The people of the Brevard and
Toxaway sections are much interested
in the case to be tried because the
rebuilding Of the Toxaway dam Is
dependent on the outcome Of these
damage suits. And sections which
are interested in the development Of
water powers are also watching these
cases because, If the courts decide
that the owner Of a dam is RESPONSE
BILE for damages that may take place
by reason Of the dam breaking UNI
der any and all circumstances, they
will take second thought before be-
ginning construction, since there Is
always the possibility Of a cloud
burst, and while an earthquake is
not likely to come this way, still, 1t
Is pointed out, there is no guarantee
that 1t will not.

Bryan Tells Good Ono on Himself.

William Jennings Bryan tells this

When Bryan first ran for presi-

paper sent a detailed description and
analysis Of him to a noted alienist.

in question.
Not knowing whose case he was
analysing, the noted specialist re-
turned this verdict:
"The man undoubtedly is crazy"
The newspaper then connected in

the decided discontinue Of the noted
alienist.
Mr.. Bryan says that he learned a
lesson therefrom, namely, never to
answer hypothetical questions, which,
he said, the alienist did.
