Awl of the great inventions, great uplift schemes, hev evolved from the brains ov people who were regarded az cranks. Thomas A. Edison became a crank upon electrical subjects some years ago. The result wuz the tele phone, the graphaphone, many elec trical contrivances, includin electric lights, the application ov electricity xenrs by the cotton platform, and ly buiIt.

Put up a light, but substantial frame work ov timber an' finish hit with rafters an sheeting an' cover the roof with the cheapest but most last-, ing material available, such az good finally, great electric trains, automo biles an' carriages. I am not in Mr. Edison's class at awl, but I did evolve a scheme to dispose ov the bad roads question in a practical way. Before it can or will be put into practical demonstration I may hev gone to the reat beyond, but hit iz comin' that iz, covered roads.

A. Tant was stripped for an examina tion before the jury to show what I injuries he had sustained in the em ployment of the Norfolk Southern Company in August of 1910. "An unusual thing was this, but Jit gave the jury an opportunity to see the measurements upon which Mr. Tant based his claim of damages. Just what was found isn't to be told now while the case is undecided. "This action took up the day. Mr. Tant was injured in August of 1910 while serving the company as car in spector. In some way or other on Jones Street he became entangled in the hose and was severely hurt. The plaintiff declares that he was injured through no fault of his own, and that the company is responsible. The Nor folk Southern takes the view that there was ample warning given Tant and that he did not exercise caution. He is suing for $2,000 -damages." . i . M 11 1 1 Statesville Landmark.
