HOT RESPONSIBLE
\
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
BATCH OF 12 OPINIONS IN
SECOND FILING.
JUSTICE HEW CLARKSON
'
\ "
Employe Was Being Transported From
His Work to Plymouth By Hit
Foremaiv
Raleigh. " ,
In a dozen opinions, comprising the
second Fall filing, the North Carolina
Supreme Court held that the Atlantic
Coast Line was not at fault in 1918
when an empfoye was injured in a
collision between a rail gas car and
an automobile when the employe was
being transported from his work to
Plymouth by his foreman in order that
his Selective service questionnaire
might be filled out
The appeal was by the plaintiff Hay
wood Gardner from a judgment of non
suit in Washington county at the
hands of Judge John Kerr at the April
(1923) term of court According to
the facts in the case, Gardner was a
section hand on the Atlantic Co&st
Line and on the day of the accident'
quit work at noon and was carried to
Plymouth by his foreman, R. U. Rob
ertson, on the gas car used by the
railroad. The accident occurred at a
grade crossing and Gardner, it was al
leged, was permanently Injured. VJie
railroad paid his hospital bill and ex
pense of treatment in Richmond.
Justice Heriot Clarkson, writing the
opinion of the court said.
"From the facts, we can see no duty
that the defendant owed the plaintiff
that It failed to discharge. It was a
kindly, gratuitous and friendly act
that one man showing to another b y
borrowing the defendant's motor car
and the use of its tracks to do a neigh
borly act. Now shall the defendant
rsspond in damages? We cannot so
hold. The foreman was not acting, at
the time, in the scope of his employ
ment. He was not about his master's
business but doing a kindly, generous
ect on his own responsibility. The
accident was unfortunate and deplor
able but we cannot charge negligence
and duty to these defendants.
Opninions filed by the court were:
Jessup v. Nixon, Perkuimans; error.
Paint and Lead Works vs. Spruill,
Washington; new thial.
Gardner v. R. R. Administration,
Washington, affirmed.

Highway Commission in Session.
The state higltway commission met
in its regular monthly meeting, hand
ling only routine matters connected
with the daily Job of building good
roads. All members were present ex
cept Commissioner W. A. Hart.
The meeting was described by Com
missioner John Sprunt Hill as one of
the most uneventful yet held, as it
affected developments of news inter
ests. No delegations appeared and
the commissioners spent the entire
day conferring over organiaztion mat
ters.
To Pay Off Bond Issues.
North Carolina will pay off its bond
issues with proceeds from automobile
license and gas taxes, Secretary of
State W. N. Everett said here.
Mr. Everett asserted that the peo
ple should co-operate more with the
officials in the enforcement of the
auto license laws. Every cent realiz
ed from the licensing of automobiles,
the official said, saves that much in
taxes to the people and leaves that
much more for the further conduct
of the good roads program. If tax
payers who have come up and paid
their license taxes would only report
those who have not done' so, then
they would help themselves for there
would then be this additional pioney
for roadbuilding.
Governor ?Grants Parole.
John Shuping, of Burke county, sen
tenced last March to 12 months on this
county roads for violating the liquor
laws, was given a parole by Governor
Morrison. The recommendation of
the trial judge and solicitor and sev
eral prominent citizens of Burke coun
ty, and the further fact that he has
a sister and her family dependent
upon him, were responsible for the
parole. The cape was presented \to
the governor by Representative Irwin,
Burke county.
A
Low Fire Lost In North 8tate.
"A high water mark for low fire lots
record? was the paradoxical epigram
^lsed by State Insurance Commission
er Stacy W. Wade in announcing that
the fire in North Carolina in August J
was $84,6S9 from 88 fires, as compared I
with the former low record of June, '
1922, when there was a loss of $105,903 I
in 96 fires.
| In August, 1922, there were 12?
fires, representing a U>ss of $221,298/ I
| according to records. t ' j
Analysis of the ' detailed first re
port issued by Commissioner *Wade
shows total property at risk In Au
gust, this year, is Valued at 11,526,000,
on whi'<& insurance was oarried in the
sum of $1,325,000. Of the total loss
of $84,689, $56,000 Was due to seasonal
and extra hazardous risks in a rela
tively small number of fires, accord
ing to the report, which gives as losses
in this class a saw mill and lumber
plant, burned at a loss of $35,000;
fires due to lightning, $11,000; and -to
bacco curing barns, $11,500.
The actual normal fire lose was
given as $27,189. Of this loss, 38
town and six rural dwellings had a
damage of $21,664, leaving, the normal
fire loss in all the factories, stores,
warehouses, garages, churches, schools
and other buildings at $5,525, accord
ing.
Besides the destruction of one
store by lightning, there were only
three store fires in August and .the
total loss in these totaled only $125,
the report stated.
Not a single hotel fire was reported
in August, although there were hun
dreds of mountain, seashore and
spring resorts open besides the regu
lar commercial hostelries. In this
connection Commissioner Wade said*
"If every month could show the ab
sence of high losses from business and
industrial firss as had the month of
August, North Carolina would be at j
the head of the national fire loss list i
every month, as it does this month,
and millions of dollars would be saved
:n both property and insurance costs.
It shows every month, that the masses
of the people are being most careful
with fire, while the losses really come
from the business population, general
ly conceded to be the promoters and '
conservators of wealth and progress,
and more largely concerned for safety
first providence."
Out of 106 organized fire depart
ment towns and cities in the state,
the total fire loss was $19,000, an av
erage of $175 per city, with not a
single fire in the $5,000 and more '
class, stated the report.
One hundred and twenty-four towns
and 26 counties reported no fire losses
and were placed on the insurance d>
partment's honor roll. Durham and
Henderson went on the honor roll for
the second month in succession.
Among the other towns and cities re
porting no fires, were Goldsboro, Wil
son, Greenville, Washington, Eliza
beth City, Oxford, Clinton, Concord,
Monroe, Gastonia, Lumberton, Mount
Airy, Lenoir, Lexington, Salisbury
and Statesville. Among the counties
placed on the honor roll were Wake,
Gaston, Davidson, Iredell, Rocking
ham, Robeson, Haywood and Lee.
Structures involved in fires were
given as follows: Dwellings, 44;
stores, 4; factories, lumber plants, gay
rages and unstored automobiles, three
each, with nominal losses; churches,
one, by lightning.
Causes or types of fires were given
as follows:
Tobacco curing barns, 19; shingle
roofs and defective flues, 17; un
known, 14; lightning, 8; smoking, 4;
oil stoves, 3; adjoining building, 5,
The fire loss for August for the
United States and Canada, according
to information received and announc
[ ed by the state insurance department,
approximated $24,474,300, representing
an increase of over $3,000,000 over the
I fire losses for the same month last j
year, but a decrease of more than $3,?
000,000 from July, this year. Con- J
trary to conditions in North Carolina,
it was said, much of the increased loss
was attributed to seasonal fires in
summer resort hotels scattered over
the United States and Canada. The
fire loss in the United States and Can- 1
ada for the first eight months of this !
year was announced as $274,016,250,
representing an increase over the same
period of last year of about twenty- '
one million dollars.
General Carr Quits as President.
Durham.? Gen. Julian S. Carr, for
merly commander-in-chief of the Unit- 1
ed Confederate Veterans, announced
his resignation as president of the
North Carolina Old Soldiers' Home at
Raleigh, the resignation having been
sent to Governor Morrison several
days ago, effective immediately. Gen- !
eral Carr gives up the work of super- I
vising the operation of the Home af
ter more than 25 years of close con
nection with it. It was the General '
who was largely responsible in get
ting the charter for the institution
from the State legislature in the
early '90's.

3. The Summarizing of Content*
The following Is suggestive: ?
Lesion L John the Baptist was a
humble and courageous man. He did
not take honor to himself nor trim his
message to suit the crowd.
Lesson II. Mary should not be wor
shlped, but she Is worthy, of great
honor. Her faith made her to ac
quiesce In the Lord's will in spite of
the fact that she knew that her char
acter would be suspected.
Lesson III. Peter, while being fickle
and cowardly, is a fine example of
the transforming power of God's grace.
Lesson IV. John the apostle was a
reticent man. He did not say much
about himself, but was passionately
In love with his Lord.
Lesson V. Matthew, though hum
ble, was a man of force of character
and decision. He left all and followed
Jesus.
Lesson *' VI. Mary Magdalene, be
cause she was saved, was steadfast In
her devotion to the Lord. Because of
this, she was able to tell ' the good
news of the resurrection to the dis
couraged disciples. J
Lesson VII. Mary and Martha both
loved the Lord. Martha was mistaken
as to the best way to please Him.
Mary chose the good part in fellow- 1
ship with her Lord which has made
her name immortal. I
Lesson VIII. Stephen was so com
pletely filled with Christ that his face
shone as the face of an angel.
Lesson IX. Barnabas was a good
man and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Therefore, lie was qualified as a lead
er of men.
Lesson X. Paul's knowledge of
Jesus was so real that he had as his !
supreme aim to magnify Him.
Lesson XI. Mark, though having
turned back from the work, was re
stored and became a great and hon
ored minister of Christ.
Lesson XII. Luke, the skilled and
popular physician, gave himself up to
be the attendant of the missionary of
the cross.
Lesson .XIII. Because of Timothy's
religious training, he became a worthy
minister of tlie gospel.

Twin Brother to T. B. .
Cause of Cattle Loss
"The twin brother to tuberculosis"
Is one of the names given by veteri
narians to a fatal disease which causes
havoc in any herd where It gains en
trance. "<
This disease, also called Johne's
disease, and resembling tuberculosis
somewhat In symptoms and effects, Is
not a new one but has often been
confused with tuberculosis, so has but
recently b?en credited with the seri
ousness that It deserves. Herds in.'!
dairy states are menaced If this twin
brother to T. B. once gets Its hold on
a dairy animal.
"It is believed that once Johne's
disease gets under way In the animal j
death is certain to result from it,"
says B. A. Beach, veterinarian at the
Wisconsin College of , Agriculture.
"The annual loss in Wisconsin so far
reported may run as high as 12 per
cent In badly Infected herds. The
disease Is a contagious one and pur
chase from an Infected herd Is usually
the origin of the trouble in other herds:
j "Another bad feature of this disease
Is that it generally affects only young
heifers. Because of this tendency to
affect the most valuable stock and be
cause Its spread is so rapid, this dis
ease is worse than tuberculosis."
Symptoms of Johne's disease show
about six months after the germs of
infection gain entrance to the body.
Immediately after calving is when ttie
infected animals are most apt to show
the symptoms.
Infected animals lose flesh rapidly
so that they become mere walking
skeletons. Diarrhea occurs at inter
vals and the milk flow Is greatly re
duced and finally stops. The disease,
which Is contracted through the mouth
in feeding yards, can be detected by
the Johnin test, which according to Mr.
Hastings, head of the bacteriology de
partment at the experiment station, is
similar to the tuberculosis test.
"That much can be done," says Mr.
Hastings, "through the use of this
test, to decrease the spread of this
disease In a herd has been demon
strated In Denmark. Prompt removal
and isolation of all animals reacting
to the test is the only prevention."
Complete descriptions of the symp
toms and effects of the disease and
methods of detection and prevention of
its spread In dairy herds are given in
bulletin 343 issued by the agricultural
station, Madison, Wis. I

Economical Hog Ration
Given by OKio Station
In a bulletin recently published by
the Ohio experiment station on "sup
plements to corn for fattening swine," 1
some figures were given on tlie various
amounts of feed required to produce
100 pounds of gain. The pigs used
were pure breds, weighing about 82
pounds each, and were fed in dry lots
by means of self-feeders. One lot was
fed corn and tankage at the rate of 12
parts corn to one part tankage. Fig
uring corn at 40 cents a bushel and
tankage at $3 a hundred, It cost $2.91
for each 100 pdunds of gain. Another
lot was fed one part corn to two p^rts
skim milk. Figuring on the same price j
for corn, the feeding value of the skim 1
milk amounted to only $1,15, or 18.7 ?
cents per cwt., as compared with tank
age in feeding value. This does not j
mean that tankage is always more eco
nomlcal than skim milk. For young
pigs skim milk is superior to tankage. '
However, if there is not enough milk i
produced on the farm for feeding pur- J
poses, It Is more economical to buy
tankage than skim mjlk. ? |
Making Most Rapid and
Economical Pork Gains
Too many people think that all that
Is necessary to fatten a hog Is to give
him all the corn he wants. This sys
tem requires more time and greater
cost than when fed a balanced ration.
Experiments and practical experience
have shown that the most rapid and
economical gains pre made whven com
is supplemented with some feed rich
in animal protein.
LIVE STOCK NOTES
If a , sow farrows during -severe '
weather, artificial heat may be needed
for the farrowing pen.

The silo saves labor; cattle can be
fed easily and quickly from the silo
which Is close at hand and always In

A combined hay and cattle barn I
makes an economical arrangement for
many farms. . Make the hay door for
your barn less than 8 feet wide and 12
feet high. Slings will go through this.
? ? ?
Sheep require salt and It should be
available at all times, for an irregular
supply induces overeating of the salt?
which causes scours. Rather than lim
iting the supply of salt or of mixing it
with their feed, It is best to let sheep
eat as touch as- they wish.
I . ti
Steers fed succulent feeds usunllj
sell 15 cents to 75 cents per hundred

tion to making larger gains. Cost must ;
be considered, however, in buying sue- !

value of its own. . I

HAD TO AVOID
GREASY FOOD
Boatman Suffered From Indiges
tion, But by Taking Black
Draught, Says He Got So
He "Could Eat Anything."
Stephensport, Ky. ? "For some tlma
I suffered with indigestion, or dys
pepsia'," says Mr. Henry Gross, of this
place. "I cduldn't eat the least thing
greasy ? if I did, I would spit it up.
I\suffered a great deal."
Since his work requires him to ta
on an Ohio river steamboat much of
his time, Mr. Gross says that he "had
to eat at different places, and I suf
fered because I had to be so particu
lar to get something that , wouldn't
hurt me. I had a hurting in my stom
ach, and a slick, bitter taste in my
mouth. Some one said I needed a
liver medicine; I began with Black
Draught and it has given perfect sat
isfaction. I took a pinch after meals
and it regulated me. I got so I could
eat about anything and enjoy it. Black
Draught Is all right."
A pinch of Black-Draught, taken
for a few days at a time, after meals,
washed down with a swallow of water,
has, In thousands of cases, relieved
simple Indigestion. As a result of the
action of the medicinal roots and
herbs of which It Is composed, Black
Draught gently stimulates the flow of
the digestive juices, and helps to re
lieve, or prevent constipation, In an
easy, natural mamier. Try it 25c.
