field involving the value of the right
of way through his land for the Dix
lie Highway, "a verdict was rendered
for the plaintiff for s525. The board

jackson $500. The. plaintiff was rep
resented by MrtS. MEG. Simkins and
ME-. S. NJ. Smith and the county by
Mr.. T. B. Greneker.
The case of Mr.. Andrew Butler
against Mr.. j. E. Yonce to recover
under contract for saving lumber
a verdict of $500 was rendered for
the plaintiff who was represented by
MIR. c.. T. Burnett. The defendant
was represented by Messrs. Sheppard
Bros. Mr.. Yonce's attorneys made
motion for a new trial but it was
overruled by the judge.

against the Edgefeld Mercantile
Company to recover bale of cotton
which it. had purchased from ne
gro, and sold before it had notice of.
Mr. Snead's claim, a verdict was
found for the, defendant, which was
represented by Mr.. j. VIM, Thur
nond. Mr.. Snead was representedaby
Mr.! c. T. Burnett.
The last case to be tried was the
Suit Of the Bank of Parksvlile against
afr. E. B. Dorm. This case attracted
considerable attention, as it is probs
able that other suits of the same
character will be brought. In July,
1920, Mr.. Dorm, the defendant, gave
note for $1,000 to the Fisheries
Products company of Wilmington for
stock in the company. Soon after the
note was given it was sold to the
Bank OF Parksville by representa-
tive of the company. When the note
became due Mr.. Dorm refused pay
ment, alleging that the note was OBJ
tanned from him through fraud. He
alleged that the bank had informa-
lion that the note was obtained from
him through fraud at the time it pur-
chased the note. An officer of the
bank stated during ,the trial that the
Bank of Parksville now holds notes
of this character, aggregating $685.
500. The Jury rendered verdict in
favor of the defendant, the maker
of the note, but Judge Sease at once
set the verdict aside upon the ground
that it was a negotiable paper and
that the purchaser of the note, ac-
cording to the testimony given, did
not have evidence of the alleged
fraud at the time the purches was
made.
The bank was represented by
Messrs. Sheppard Bros. and Mr.. W.
K. Charles and MI. dorm by Mr.. j..
VIM. Thurmond and, Mr.. S. MEG.
Sinlkins.
The case was Closely watched as
there areNin this section a,consider- a,
able number of persons who pur-
chased stock in the Fisheries Prod
ucts company and gave notes in pay
1nsnt. The statement has been made
that the notes given in this section
of the state will aggregate $750,e0O.

Woman and the Right to Vote

Mrs. Pennybaeker, should become a
part of a woman's instructive knowl-
edge toward the right-and any wom-
an who does not vote, or who does
not take q first-hand interest in vot-
ing, is a traitor to her country.
Mrs. Pennybacker has mapped out
course of study which she hopes to
install in every woman's club through
out the Union. The course embraces
economics, history, government, and
not least of these, duty to the foreign
born. In fact, this last is Mrs. Pen

not turn back by withdrawing Amer

declares In report In which he pre-
sents the results of his investigation
