CROSSING HARM 10 " PUBUG WELFARR THE 8UPREME COUIJT HAND8 DOWN MOST FAR REACHING OPINION8. RIGHTS OF ( THE PEOPLE Tobacco Co-operative* Win Out In 8ev?ral Cases Before Highest Tribunal. '? ? ? ? ? ? I '" I )i Raleigh. "The tpll of llfp and Injury to cltl sens using their dwn public' roads by coUlstpn with high-powered, fast movlng engines owned and operated tor private gain Is a serious detriment to the publlo welfare -and conVenlence" Chie? Justice Walter Clark set' forth in in opinion handed down by the su preme court (ranting s new trial ft j the victim of a grade crossing acCi- 1 dent. In crossing a railroad track on the same grade as the highway the "rights of the public are subordinate to the railroads, but co-ordinate with the prior right of the public to use their own highways, each having its duties and each bound to observe the ^requirements," the chief Justice de clared. ' The opinlpn took ??ote of a recent bulletin, of the sUte highway com mission', stating that of the 288 grade crossings which formerly existed there now remain only 180 over 6,063 miles of road and that of 22 of these Will be L eliminated by construction now under way. The chief Justlce-deneted grati fication at this progress, and he com izAnted further, "In many of our states, and almost altogether in, for eign countries, any grade crossing of I .the public, roads by a railroad is abso lutely forbidden." In this SUte . the grade crossing must some day finally and totally eliminated in the interest of the public." ? TJh? case with wtlch . the option I dealt was the appeal of Mrs. Mary C. Williams from Vance county su- l perlor court's Judgment in favor of I the Seaboard 'Air Line In her suit for damages as the result of injuries bus- I tallied In a gjrade crossing accident I One person was killed aftd she and the drlvir injured when an automobile was struck by a fast moving train on the Seaboard main lipe betweta Hell- 1 derson and Franklin. Chief Justice Clark reversed) the Judgment of the lower court and or dered a new trial for Mrs. .Williams. He foun,d error in the court's refusal to allow Mrs. Williams' to testify as to whether she could have heard the engine bell and if ehe was engaged In' anything that would have distracted her attention. The plaintiff claimed the whistle and b$ll were not used to warn the approach of the train. The tobacco co-operative came out vlotor in three suits on appeal before the supreme court which were decided In one of the snlts, 2. H. Plttman, a prominent merchant and farmer of Pitt county, sought to invalidate hia I contract with the "coops." claiming he had been Induced to sign it 'by false < and fraudulent representations. The court sustained the lower court, .hold ing that plaintiff had not signed as the result of fraudulent representa tions. in th* other two suits against J .L. Bland, of Craven county, and Pete Sptkfes ,of Craven, the court con tinued restraining orders prohibiting them from disposing of their 1923 to bacco crops, whicJwthey had contrast ed to deliver^ to the co-operative. The Ust^qf opinions follows: Capoon vs. Bverton, Tyrell, new trial. Harvey vs. Brown, et al, Pasquo tank, affirmed. Cobb, admrn vs. Fountain, admr., Edgeqombe, affirmed. ' , Cherry vs. Hodges, Washington, no error. ? ' Williams ??. 8. A. L. Railway, new trial. Adams vs. Angler Bank and Trust company, Harnett, affirmed. Erl^ and Daniels vs!
