SIZEABLE VERDICT
 IN PROVIDENCE COURT

l verdict of S220s in favor of the Anchor Sawmills Co.,, of which J. B. Tatem & Son of Putnam are agents in this section. was returned by a jury m the Superior court at Providence last week. The suit involved a carload of persimmon and dogwood blocks used in the manufacture Of shuttles. a sup ply of which is kept by the agents in Putnam.
 Defendants claimed that shipment did not comply with the contract, and that it therefore had q right to reject the shipment, while the plaintiff claim ed that the carload as made up was selected by the defendants own agent. The important feature of the decision was the finding that the inspector re- port was not to be taken as final.
