Berts, contrivioig and maliciously intending to injure his good name and credit and to bring him Into pubiic ridicule, scanUlar and. Infamy, composed and published In 'The '.V. ekly Courier." of Leaksville, Rock Inglicnt county, a false, scandalous, uulicious and defaanatory lilbel con cerning him, Hon. A, L. Biooks, of this city, through his attorneys, to day instituted suit in the Superior court of Guilford county, wherein he seeks to recover damages ot the de fendants in the sum of $23,000, Mr. lii-ooks is being represented by tiome. of the strongest legal talent :u thiiaf State. Ills attorneys aj-e: .Mr. T. S. Bea'J. King and Kimlail, Wilson and i'erguson, Col. J. A. Harriiiger and ex-Judge By num. it appears that Mr. iirocks," with iloa. C. O. MciVlicliiael and Hon. A. ii. Ivie, attorneys ; of HocKiuiiaiu eouuty, represented the deitnuant ux a siat iiiought in iiockinghom oouuty, wherein the . Leaksyiilc Spray Institute) was the plakitiff and B. F. Me bane was the defendant. Mr. King, who is reputed to be one of the wwalthiest men in this sec tion of the State, it appears, was or had been, in some way connected with the Leaksville Spray Institute, and when Mr. Meibane brought suW against- that institution Mr. King figured rather prominently at the trial, it is said. , On the 17th day of December, 1913, following the suit against the Laaks vlHe-Spray Institute, an article appeared in "The Weekly Courier," a publication owned by Mr. Betts, un der the caption, "Dedicated to Would-be Character Robbers.". The larticle. which is a, vigorows and scathing attack, is directed against Messrs. Brooks, McMichael and Ivie, and ia signed : "Yours for justice. D. F. King." The article appeared, in The Week ly Courier as a paid advertisement. "Falsehood, slander, vilification, misrepresentation, robbery and inuen do'' are charged against Messrs. Brooks, McMlchaej and Ivie in the article signed by Mr. King. The arti cle charges that the three attorneys mentioned "attempted one of the blackest crimes in the history of Rackinhlam county," when, it is alleged, they- "seemingly DoHuded together deliberately, premeditutely and with malicious intent for the purpose of gong into the Temple of Justice and by falsehood, etc,." rob King of his good name and character "in (an effort to advance the Inter ests off their clients." In the com plaint filed today these allegations are emphatically denied by the three attorneys. After charging in the article that Messrs. Brooks. McMichael and Ivie sought to rob him of his good name and characVr, Mr. King lays: "The writers of both sacred and profane history agree that the character robber is by far a wwrse man than the highway, robfber.and if any writer bias made him a better man than iSti6 murderer I have Called to discover it. The strong arm of the Uiw and pufblic sentiment! have driven the highway robber from the bind, but the little jackleg lawyer is still plying his trade in some places, and will continue to do so until an awakened Public conscience drives him out. If ever there was a day in Rockingham county when suchtactiC8 wereusefulth!atJay has passed." In the complaint filed today, Mr. Brooks alleges that by the publica tion of the above article, which s branded as false, he has been, and "is greatly Injured , In his good name and credit, and In his profes sion, and brought into public Bcan dlal. infamty and disgrace, and has hence been endamaged In the amoun of $25,000." The plaintiff asks also thiat '-he defendant be taxed with the costs f the; action. :v ''y' ' As all parties interested in the suit are prominent throughout the Stabe. the liitgation is creating much interest. Hon. A. L. Brooks was a' candidate for the United States House- of Representatives froml this district In IMS, and is nromlnont in local and State politics. The other two attorneys are well kn owm . Gren Ftbcro Record. . The last issue of The Weekly Courier contained - the following apology frc-m Mr. King: In this paper thrf-e weks ago I criticised "A. L. BrWfcS TIT Ws Ht tlon and speech made in the recent case of the Leaksville-Spray Institute against D. F. Mebane. ' I acted in evidence to jusify him he hfwl gone beyWid the rightful limits . of a w,v.ijer in criticising me as . relent less, following the dollar, prevent ing the establishing of the Spray SchJol of Technology, etc., etc. Since receiving his notice given under the law I have conferred with friends In whom I have great confidence, and I am now convinced that while. he did me great wrong, my language w as extreme and un justifiable in view of the very wide latitude allowed lawyers In arguing aiif.es.-.-'I.- anl one of hundreds who have suffered from such latitude. His fault does not justify me. and I J therefore nxke this as a full and fair correction, retraction and apolo gy for my aforesaid article, i retract, correct and apologize 4jif applying to him any of the foi lowliig expressions and all phrases which can be reasonably construed to apply to him, these or any simi lar expa-essions in my article of Dectnaber 17th. 1913, to wit: "char acter robber," "colluded wiith malic .ous Intenll for the purpose of rob bi;g me of my good name by false hood, elander. misrepresentatfon, vil ification, abuse, and inuendo," "pui pose was hellish" "sold hLnmelf for money to do wrong," "lying" "that he and others or others knew that he was lying," "the triansaction was a crime" "highway roblber,'' murderer," "jackleg lawyer" "concealed by the roadside and shoots neighbor." I retract . all such expressions as the above be cause I am satisfied now that they did Mr. Brocks an ' injustice, and apologize therefor. In the same issue of The Courier Kd'iooTr Bettg had a card reading as follows: In the issue of December 17th of this paper I published an article entitled "Dedicated to Would - be Character Robbers," In whkh Messrs A. 1. Brooks, C O.' McMichael and A. D. Ivie were criticised, attorneys who represented B. F. Mebane in a case against him by the trustees of the Leaksviile-Spray Institute. Bach of the above named attorneys nas served a notice on me, stating that the article mentioned Is libel ous,, false and defamatory as applied to himi. When I gave space to this article in the Courier I did It In rood faith,1 not desUHng to aid in any way in Injuring or bring ing in disrepute any of these gen tlemen, because I have nothing whatever against them. So far. as I know they did nothing ha they ehould not have done as attorneys- in the - trial of the case mentioned. was wholly ignorant cf the facts .about the entire matter. I, therefore,, as to" my part, publish lbi a a full ancf fair correction, apology, and retraction . for ;he t foresaid article. I do this in justice to these gentlemen because I do not want or mean to do either of them an injury or Injustice by so publishing the article above men tioned. - - A VERDICT FOR $2,000 r - AGAINST DR. S. G. JETT. L. Nester, who entered a suit tor five thousand dollars alleged damages against Dr. S. G. Jett, of Reldsville, for injuries, was award ed a two thousand dollar verdict by a Jury: in the Corporation court In Danville Friday evening after a hort deliberation. The case con sumed most of tb'e day, some time bedng spent in the drawing of the instructions. - Nester claimed thatTie wasTInjur ed last September when standing In front of a s tore n ear B-allou Park, that the physician in an automobile struck him and injured him. Upon the announcement of the 1 verdict attorneys for Dr. Jett gave notice of an appeal, and a new trial will be asked for. The injury to Nester was un known to Dr. Jett at the time his car struck the man. The street was crowded with tobacco wagons, and the 'physician was dodging through the line when Nester, it is alleg ed by Dr. Jett and Mr. Walter Sta pled who was in his car at the itme, was not seen by them' until the car was passing him and they did not think he had been struck. They discussed the fact that he was c'ose to the side of the machine hut both were of the opinion that he had not been struck by the' car. , Later, however, a .warrant wa Issued for the Roidsvilie physichn. and a civil suit was entered for damages.

One of two women passengers car ried by Glenn Martin, the aviator, stepped from his machine at Loa Angeles, Cal, when it was S30 feet in the air. She reached the ground safely and demonstrated to Martin's satisfaction the practicability of a new aerial life preserver. Specta- tors saw the girl fall 75 feet like n. shot. Then a oaruchuto attach ment on her shoulders unfolded and she descended gradually and with 'no apparent effort at balance. ANTI-TRUST BILL IS ABOUT READY A general outline of the tentative draft of anti trust legislation, pre pared by majority members of the House committee on the judiciary for action by the full committee sub ject ta a confereoc-e with President Wilson, has been maoe known. The bills, drafted after conferences between Chairman Clayton, Repre-, sentative Carlin, of Virginia, chair man of the trust subcommittee, and Representatives Floyd, Arkansas; Mc Coy, New Jersey, and others cover these three main points: 1. Interlocking directorates. :. 2. Trade relations and prices. 3. Injunction proceedings and damage suits by individuals. In every case President Wilson's Idea of providing penalties for Indi viduals as well as for corporation a in case of violation, has been fol lowed. It was decided it would be better! to draft several bills In stead of incorporating all anti-trust proposals In an omnibus measure, supplementary-1 to, the Sherman act. An attempt to define combina tions and conspiracies in restraint of trade, as far as possible, haa been made in the bills already pre pared. The Mil to Inhibit Interlocking di rectorates Is regarded as the most Important' of the three. It applies to banks and trust companies and to every industrial corporation , en gaged in interstate trade. . The effect of the Industrial cor poration feature of the Interlocking directorate bill, the committeemen say, would be of the most sweeping; character, cutting out the Interlocks Ing arrangements and enabling direc torships and control to pass to, large army of new men, instead of, keeping the Industrial control of vauious lines of activity- in the hands of a few. Under Its terms, no officer .'or director in any industrial corporation engaged - In ; Interstate trade, would be permitted to be aa officer or director in . another indus-trtonuterstatectu-poratioa" Jta Bi tted business. Manufacturers of rail road cars, locomotilves, railroad ralla and structural steel, or men en gaged to thtef mlntajg and sell ing of coaL would be barred from becoming directors or other officers or other employee of railroads en gaged in interstate commerce. The bill would not hecome effective until two years after passage to allow adjustment of business arrange ments. The other measures would take ef fect Immediately upon passage. The bill designed to) stop agreements for regulation of Prices has drastic provisions. It is designed to stop the fixing by wholesalers of prices at wbich the manufactured articles iliall (be sold to the public and tq prevent "big business" from enter ing into contracts to control prices of any commodity. " ' The measure on injunctions and " damiae suits would give Individuals us well as the government the right to start injunction proceedings' for any attempt at Injury. In civil pro ceedings (begun by the Federal gov ernment under the Sherman law, in which a Judgment or final or inter locutory deigrea has been entered, holding the defendants guilty of conduct prohibited ihy the act, it would permit Individuals claiming to " be Injured by such conduct to be. admitted as a party to the suit, with' thlb" same relief as if they had brought an independent suit This would give the individual the benefK of the results of a proceeding by tht Government. Members of the Judiciary commit tee believe that the measures will strengthen the Sherman law without Injustice to the rights of business. That verae of Scripture, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend," was Illustrated when Henry Wood. a merchant,' of Grundy, Va., killed himself. Wood was a young, am bitious, but inexperienced, merchant. He purchased large bills of goods and was unable to dispose of many of the articles that crowded the shelves of his store. He became in volved in debt and his father, Chas. Wood, and several friends, endorsed his notes. Wood was unable 10 meet the payments and swallowed acid that his friends might collect his seven thousand dollars insurance and pay the debt. Accdrdlng to the report of the commission appointed by Federal Judt;e Aldrlch to inquire into Thaw' mentality, the slayer of Stanford White would not be a menace If rt leased on bail. Tfeis finding Is a great victory for Thaw. A iiUtg wlOTTaCPftrTor-Trt hibition will come before the cext session of the Virginia Legislature, which convenes tomorrow.
