Entered at the Pott Office of Mount
Atrj, N. C. at second cUh mail matter
Dcbeou Court.
The tiwo wM'k term of Dohson
Court for the trial of civil causes
wdjourned Wednesday afternoon
for the reason that the people
who had suits- in court were not
there to have them tried. The
lawyers wer ready on both sides
and willing to try the case but
the men who wore interested, were
too busy to eowie.
Where) the case was of any
great im porta nre the lawyers
wouM f?et it continued, tait in
ne vend instances the .Judge rul
ed the ca.se be removd fr. m the
bucket, which mean that the
plaintiff mut pay the cost and
cannot ntart the suit a train.
Majiy of the easts tried were
where land was involved, but the
value of the larul ' in inost in
(itanccM was not great.
The only case of much interest
to thi ynJrlie was that of a suit
for the n-eovery of $2.KN). insur
ance money. Samuel I). Cook of
tills county went to Tcxasi sev
eral years ago. He died in Feb.
1012 and at the time of hirf death
had $2,(hn) insurance on his life
in w Woodman of The World.
His death was alleged to have
lieen caused hy an overdose of
in ilicbie and the insurance emn
jany charged that it was taken
with su'ieidal intent. If thus al
legation could be mad- to Rt.md
then they would not be 1 tilde
for the payment of the money.
His son, Llovnl Cook, after his
l-a tli cam - back here and is
living in Went field township
with relatives. He instituted sniit
find employ ed Attorney J. H.
iFolgor. H'hen the case was in-
vestigatetl it wk found that Mr.
(.ooki die verv suddenly
tl.
wa. noiir him at the time of his
death. It scans that the doctor
who arrived to attend him con
cluded at once when he saw
foam at his patient's mouth that
he had poisoned himself by
drinking the and. He made no
furhter examination ai.nl when
the case was brought before the
court it wns very evident that
the doctor reached his conclus
ion too hastily. Foam at the
mouth might be cau.se d in var
ious ways and it did not neces
sarily follow that because an
empty bottle in which acid of a
deadly nature had been was
found by hi side that he had
emptied the contents into his
. stomach. It was a case of hasty
conclusion. Possibly the man
committed suicide. The hot Me
was there and the outward ap
pearances were th(c of a man
who had taken the poison, but
the law doea not take much for
granted. If the man had been
poisoned then it could have h"-n
very easily established by a pot
mortem examination, but this, was
not made, ami hence the cause of
his. death wa.s mere guess work.
For these reasons a jury gave
young1 i.k a verdict in his fa
vor and the insurance company
will have to pay the money.
People who attended the term
are well pieced with the way
in which Judge Lane presides.
He is lignifid and kmws th"
law. He wi'l preside
our November term.

Xrxt Tuesday the ame being
Seirteniber 'Jth, the warehouses
of thirt city will open for the
sale of leaf tobacco.
All tilings now point to a good
price for the weed this year.
Planters warehouse ha nearly
completed the new and mammoth,
addition to their plant and will
have every thing1 ready for the
aiwning.
At a meeting' of the directors
of the Fanner Union Warehou.se
recently held it wa decided, to
operate the warehouse for the
sale of leaf this year. The new
dry prue machinery i ai ready
for operation. The machinist
who placed it turned over the- job
complete last week.
It w not known what will be
ine with this machine yet, but
i here in case the farmers
need it. If tobacco brings a reas
onable anl satisfactory price .t
is uiderstood that it will not b
( .teratfd but should the price
fall 'to a po:nt that farmers are
rtit willing to sell on the floor
then they will dry prize their
tobacco.
The drying machine is a mam
moth affair. It is so large that
one is surprised when he finst
sees it. It appears to be a
strictly first class j b and the
work of fine mechanic. The
ecigine, boiler and everything is
connected up and ready for oper
ation on a moiir-nts notice.

This city recently sob! a
farm. ISevernl years ago it was
thought to be good business to
buy some land that was injured
by the Muck Shoals dam rather
than the damage that the
jroperty holders wanted. Hy
mutual agreement the town
!ought. the lMVttom laiul owned
by Mrs. Klla Holcoinb ami it wa
this land that wa.s sold recently
to Mr. Ireilell Veiuble and
brought into the town' treasury
the sunn of .22tK). As we remem
ber thi was about the price
paid for the land, ami by huy
ii'ir it the town, has sived the
damage that would have been
paid if the land had not been
taken over. In the meanCilne the
land is supposed to hav paid
interest on the investment. So
ihe ol I town is not such a bad
business man after all
