LONG LITIGATION I Over guano has ABRUPT CLOSING Non-Suits Arcejjtfil I > v Swift & Company, Plain tiffs in Series of Cnrrituek County Art ions MAY BOB l'l' AGAIN Company Has liicht to Ke open Suits \\ itllin Year, But General Impression Is That It Will Not The long drawn legal battle over the Male of a quantity of fer tiliser 10 Home 23 Currituck County resident * in 1922. which the buyers alleged was of inferior after the February term of Super r lpr Court opened here Monday with Judge F. A. Daniels, of ' Qoldaboro. on the bench. Swift Ac Company, plaintiff In . the actions, accepted u non-suit in all the cases still on the calendar. They had been continued from the j December-January term of court upon representation by counsel for the pluintlff company that ad-, dltlonal evidence was being col- j lacted. The first of the caKn was taken , up at Uie March. 1 ?*2? term of Su- | perlor Court. It resulted in a Judgment assessing the defendant half thi? cost of the fertilizer. Loit er, however, the Supreme Court ruled that the fertilizer either1 Was worth the full price charged* for It, or was worth nothing, and decided outright in fnvof* of the! defendant. Some half a dozen other cases, virtually ideutic-alj With that one, were tried at ?uh-' sequent terms of Superior Court I here, and all resulted in verdicts I for the defendants. Under the. law. Swift & Com- j pany may re-open the case* with in a,* year. The impression here, howsver, is that they will not be I reopfened, though counsel for the' gW>p?ny lias made public no ? statement on the subject, f- v Fundamentally, the long fought ' battle over the fertilizer hinged about the question whether it was of the quality claimed for it by j the plan u fact u re rs. The plaintiff' " company held thai it was, and was subjected to painstaking analysis j to determine that fact. The com-' pan* argued that any failure on the part of the defendants to raiBe I -a satisfactory crop was due to! ; weather and other conditions In whtah the fertilizer had no part. ' When these eases had been dis posed of, aud after several other | cases had been settlod by com pro- i raise or otherwise. Judge DauJele ! adjourned court until afternoon. The. next caMe slated was an action in which Jonah Collins, adminis trator, Hi bringing eult for dam Iau?*s against the Hyde County j Land and Lumber Company. Other actions also on the dock et (or the day included u suit by M. P. Hlte against A. L. Ayd lett. for the collection of archi tect's engineering fee*; and u case in which the City of Elizabeth City Is suing A L. Aydlett. These cases, aud another in which the Permuit Company is suing the Crystal Ice & coal Compauy. were expected to keep the court busy through Tuesday also. The following actions were slated for Wednesday: Director General of Railroads against Lambert Brothers. The Spencer-Walker Company ! against E. F- Spencer, and E. F. Aydlett against M. H.
