Head Matter:
John S. Smith, Respondent, v. The Alabama Lumber and Cooperage Company, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed and new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide event. Held, that the court, erred in ruling as matter of law that the only question was that of damages, and in holding as a matter of law that the unguarded belt was the proximate cause of the injury. The questions of defendant's liability should have been submitted to the jury. All concurred.
