UNUSUAL CASE HEARD.
Lexington, Nov. 3.-One of the most
interesting cases ever tried in Lex
ington county has been In progress in
common pleas court, Special ,Judge
Joseph A. 'McCullough of Greenville
presiding, since yeite.rday morning.
and the indications are that it will
consume the remainder of the week.
The action, for $50,000 damages, is
brought by Mrs. Mlary Strickland of
Savannah, Ga., administratrix of the
estate of her deceased hushand, who,
for many years prior to his death, was
an engineer of the Southern Railway.
It is alleged by the plaintitT that her
husband was injured on July -1, 191.1,
while in the discharge of his duty, the
accident having occurred at the end of
his run in .n acksonville, 'ia. The en
gineer, according, to lthe allegations of
the complaint, found that a drain
cock of the air reservoir of his engine
was not working: that he turned the
handle of the drain cock and, realiz
ing that it was stopped up, he used a
piece of wire to open it up. When h<
did this, it Is claimed, water and sedi
ment of rust slowed out upon his hand.
breaking the skin and causing blood
poison, which later caused acute
llrighl's disease, resulting in the death
of the man just two months after the
injury.
It is the contention of the railway
company that Mr. Strickland died
from natural, or other causes, than the
injury to his hand; and the testimony
so far adduced has been most interest
iug. Every altorney of thw .cxingtotn
har is associated in the case on one
side or the other.

"You-Uits" Is All Rlight. 1
To that learned master of arts and (
sciences who bestrides the editorial <
tripod of the Newberry Observer, a a
woman writes:
"What do you think of this expres- 1
sion:" 1
"Is my hat in you-all's way?"
"At the opera house some ttime ago,
a young lady, who is a teacher In one
of the Newberry schools, asked that
question of the ladies who were sitting
behind her.
"This is one from one who likes pure
English in the schools and thinks that
the teachers, at least, should be good
grammarians."
Editor Wallace of the Observer, who
is a hardened movie fiend, lpelessly
addileted to the habit, is so moved by
ile uinusual consideration shown by

Wallace holds that "You-all's" when
used of more than two persons is gra

cause it is unusual to some people. The
decision declares that to say "you all"
in speaking to one person, or to only
person5s, is of course bad grammar:

us we say "This house is your mother's
in-law." "You all" is virtually one
word and the possessive appendages
go on the last part of it.
The Observer, saying that "persons
in a certain portion of Laurens coun
ty" use the word "you-uns" to refer
to one or two persons, implies that the
phrase is correct, if it he used in a
iproper plural sense, although it is si
lent on the matter. As we view it,
"You-uns". Is "you ones" incorrect,
whell referring to more than one?
Asked to distinguish articles belonging
to you from others, do you not often
say "These ones are mine?" Vhat is
wrong about "you ones?" If you wish
to select Mlatthew and Mark from the
crowd, you say to them "You two come

more thanl "you Onles," for "ones"

has seen fit to remove from our midst
Bro. .. A. P. Moore and Sister Laura
1Hudgens, and,
Whereas in the death of these two
Ohristians New Prospect church, Sun
day School and Woman's- Missionary

loss, and,
Whereas we, the members of the

ary spirit was an inspiration to every

Danger Sigunal.
If the fire bell should ring would you
run and slop it or go and htell to put
out the fire? It is much the same way
with a cough. A cough is a danger
signal as i much as a lire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a tire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways he done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
witi the most beneflcial results. It is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or all attack of the grip. irs, Thomas
Hteeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: "Dur
ing the winter my husband talkes cold
easily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough temedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these attacks
and you cannot get\him to take any
other." Obtainable everywhere.
