ALLEGED FALSE ARREST
Attorneys Wallace and Walls . and
A. E. Holton have been retained by
James Lindsay as counsel in the dam
age suit entitled James Lindsay vs.
Southern Railway Co. and E. W. Oli
ver, the complaint to which was this
morning filed in the orrice of the
clerk of the superior court. The suit
Is for an alleged false arrest and is the
first case of the kind, so far as a rail
road Is concerned, that has ever come
up in the Forsyth courts.
James Lindsay, the plaintiff in the
action, alleges in his bill of complaint
that at the instance of the defendant
company and through its special offi
cer, Mr. E. W. Oliver, he was wrong
fully arrested on the charge of the
larceny of some coal. At the time
the plaintiff was in the employ of the
Southern and had been for some
years. The case was tried in the mu
nicipal court and the defendant was
there fined $20 and the costs. An
appeal was taken to the superior
court, the case tried and the defend
ant was acquitted of the charge..
The complaint asks for damages to
the amount of $5,000. The case prob
ably will be tried at the September
terra of superior court.

Oeueral Carr gave a liberal contri
bution to the flood relief fund of the
state committee, and how much he
will give to Individual cases from time
to time will never be known, for his
generosity Is almost without limit.
j but his trip into the flood district was
to look: after a special class ot stitrer
ers. General Carr knew that many
Methodist circuit riders In the rural
districts would be left helpless be
cause their means of support, none
too large a best, was practically
wiped out when the flood destroyed
flood destroyed the crops of their
congregations. These circuit, riders
can't throw up their jobs and go to
other work, as other talks, but, Ilka
the boy on the burning deck, they
must stay on the job until conference j

General Carr' special mission wai
not only to help the circuit riders and
their. families, but to help them to

preacher was provided for and put in
good heart be could go among tbd
people and cheer them, "We have t ho
best people In the world In these

"and we don't want to-lose one of
them." And he thinks that with the

Education not , to Suffer in
Stricken Counties Because
of Flood. ; f '
KMlelgh, Aug. 12. "It looks like tin
Lord takes care of the school, chll
dreu aud the school buildings," re
marked Superintendent ot Public Jn
struct ion J. Y. Joyner yesterday af
ternoon alter hearing tbe reports nl
county superintendents of publlo
schools in the flood-stricken counties.
"Some years ago when you were In
our section," rejoined one of the coun
ty superintendents, "you advised us to
build every school house upon a hill.
We did so, and as a result only a few
of our school houses, relatively
speaking, were carried away by the
floods."
Dr. Joyner was agreeably surprised
at the smallness of the damage to pub
lic school building plants. Several
thousand dollars, he believes, wilt cov
er this damage, and that ot buildings
which sustained some damage without
being entirely carried away. The
worst damage to education In the
stricken districts was from the reduc
tion in the school Income resulting
from the great reduction of values in
the county following the ravages ot
the flood. But plans were set on foot
yesterday by which it Is believed there
will be no cutting off of the regular
school term as a result of the flood.
Indeed, buildings will be provided
for entirely out of the loan fund so
1 hat none of the Income of the various
districts will have to be applied to
building, With tbe aid of the receopts
from the equalizing fund it 1 estimat
ed that there will be no curtailment of
income.
The school superliitepdents have
been active in their counties in relief
work and were in Raleigh to attend
tbe meeting to expedite relief held
here yesterday.
Among the superintendents here
were R. M. Smith, of Caldwell coun
