Hickory Democrat. The Supreme Court handed down in opinion last week affirming the judgment awarding the nlaintiff dam ages in the case of Robert Williams against the Southern Railway. Williams, who is a resident of this place, was injured in Tennessee, while working for the Southern. He was engaged in unloading iron when the engineer of the train upon which he was working, suddenly backed his en gine without warning and caused a heavy piece of track iron to fall on Williams's foot and crush it. Williams sued the railroad and re covered damages in the lower court, but the railroad appealed to the Su preme Court. The counsel for the railroad made 1 the point that as Williams was in jured in Tennessee by the engineer of the train upon which he was work ing the fellow servants law barred the action, but the Supreme Court held that the point was not good. Messrs. Self and Whitener and Thos. M. Hufham were leading counsel for Williams Suffragists Go Home. Minneapolis, Minn. June 5.

Weekly Crop Bulletin. ine -weather during the latter part of May continued decidedly unfavor able" for agricultural interests, 'chiefly on account of the unnecessary rainfall on me 28th, 29th, and 31st, and the pre vailing low temperatures which pre vented much growth of vegetation 1Jt iainy period, however, seems to toe abating, since the rainfall this week was local in character and small in amount, except on the 28th, when i was quite heavy over Dortions of Ran dolph, Alamance. Cabarrus, and Meck lenburg counties, and was accompanied oy nan with conisderable damage to crops. The soil early in the week con tinued too wet to work, and the culti vation of crops is very backward. The weather was generally cloudy and cool, averaging over 5 degrees below the daily normal in temperature, but clear ed with abundant sunshine and in creasing warmth on June 1st. In gen eral crops are still small and poor; grass and weeds have grown rapidly and threaten to take complete posses sion or many fields; necessary farm work if far behind, and the scarcity and high price of labor indicates that farmers will have unusual difficulty in reclaiming fields and restoring crops to normal condition. The latter part of the week was more favorable for work and a good deal was accomplished Replanting lowlands where crops were ruined by the freshets is proceeding rather slowly and much of the dam age seems irreparable Cotton has been injured considerably by low temperatures as well as by ex cessive moisture; mucn or it nas a yellowish .color,, indicating lack of vig or, and there is considerable complaint of its dying; some fields will be re- plowed for corn. Progress in chopping cotton and cleaning fields was more rapid duirng the last four days; while the plants are very small for the season the stands are fair to good. Corn also has suffered, chiefly from lack of prop er cultivation; it shows, however, more improvement than does cotton; much corn was yellowed by the cool, damp weather, and has suffered from ravages of cut and bud worms. The stands of corn is generally poor, except over lim ited sections where well cultivated. Much corn will be planted in lowlands up to June 15th.- Tobacco seems to be doing fairly well; in the4 north-central portion much of the crop remains to be planted; plants .are abundant and of good ize. Reports upon wheat are fa forable; unfotunately it has taken rust in some counties,, but as the harvest is near it is thought the disease will not spread rapidly enough to endanger the pVospect for an excellent yield. Spring oats are .jointing fast; -winter oats are ready to cut in the south. Irish pota toes are fine, though damaged by the beetle. An abundant supply of sweet potato slips bas been transplanted. Grapes are blooming and setting fruit nicely; peaches and cherries are rip ening in favorable localities. Rice on the southeastern rivers, though under water several days, seems not to have been materially damaged. Rainfall for the week at selected sta tions (in inches): Goldsboro 0.50, Greensboro 0.70, Lumberton 1.16, New bern 0.22, Weldon 0.34, Charlotte 2.00, Wilmington 0.50, Releigh 0.42, Settle 0.30, Mocksville 0.06, Statesville 0.56, Patterson 0.14, Yadkinville 0.58, Au- burn 0.16, Monroe 0.93, Soapstone Mount 0.39.

Peruna in. My Home as a Family Doctor;" Mr. F. A. Dixon, 810 East Tenth Street, Kansas City, Mok Mr, F. A. Dixon, Editor Pythian Echo) says in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman l "Some two years ago I began using Pe runa in my family as a taraily doctor, and l have been highly pleased with the result. My wife has used it foi catarrh and experienced great relief, My little girl has beti sick a number ol times, and when we used your medicin it proved a success. I have used it my self several times and consider it a very valuable medicine. Speaking from per, sonal observation, 1 consider it a good investment to keep it in my home, and believe every man who desires to re lieve suffering, and at the same tim save money, should investigate the real merits of your Peruna and othel medicines." in a later letter he says : "For about four years I have used Peruna in my home for myself, wife and two children, and I have saved many doctor bills, Many times a dose or two of Peruna taken in time will stop asickness. which. if permitted to go for a day, would in sult in serious trouble. For grip it is splendid and can be used successfully with very young children as well as old people. I use it in my home as an all around family doctor and when it has been given a fair trial, it has proved an excellent remedy." Address The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus, O., for free catarrh book. Reporter Caused Darwin to Wonder. George H. Darwin, of (England, the eminent astronomer and son of the great Darwin, is wondering wh.e--.her he knows a scientific man or not when he sees him. And his faith in American newspaper men is unbounded. lie can not say too much icf their versatile minkls, their remarkable faculty of adaptation and their nerve. M1. Dar win is one cf . the most distinguished scientific men in England. He ia pro fessor of astronomy at Cambridge. He came to New York an a scientific mis- skin, and was ibeset by newspaper re porters. They asked him nothing unu sual, and he gave them and their ques tions little attention. His answers were of the nature of all answers from English people tp newspaper men, for the .English do' not believe in the per sonal slide of 'American journalism. Above all, he would not discuss his pet science with any one but an equal or a superior dm ithat science. It was very much against his princi ples to discuss astronomy in a newspa per through the medium of a reporter. One day a newspaper man of New York sent his card dn to the Professor. The usual answer came back. Then the re porter sat down and wrote the astron omer a note, saying that ihe would like o discuss six questions with him. He gave his list ot questions. Mr. Dar win sent at once ior mm to come to his room. Tihe two men talked .all the afternoon and .; intoi the evening on these six questions. One or two of them; Mr. Darwin frankly admitted he had never solved. The reporter gave, with readiness, the different solutions of great estronomsrs living and dead. The reporter made one of the nota ble newspaper articles of the day on the interview, and it was the talk of scientific men because of its strength, its evident honesty as an interview, and tlhe significant fact that Mr. Dar win had allowed himself to be thus in terviewed. Mr. Darwin, dn talking about the conversation to a magazina editor, said: "I have not had so pleas ant a talk since I left Cambridge. I am mortified to think that I did not know New York had so eminent an as tronomer. I cannot imagine now his ame could have failed to reach Jie.' "Yes," said the reporter, when th.? editor told him of it, "I crammed for tlhat interview for one week, working day and night for all I was worth."
