BURGLAR THEORY ABANDONED.
[Special to The Times- Dispatch. 1
Ashland. Vl, May 'JS.?The blood?
hounds brought here this morning by
L. L. Bhcrer. of the Seite penitentiary
board, failed to find tho trail of the
person who early tills morning ap
parently attempted to break Into the
home of Professor J. R. Fisher, of
the Randolph-Macon College faculty.
In what appeared to be ?-ls efforts to
get In the house, the Intruder tore oft
the wire screen of one of the win?
dows on the ground floor and this
awakened the occupant of the room,
where cries frightened the man away
and brought the other members of the
i household to the room.
it Is believed that no further ef?
fort will he made to ascertain the
Identity ?,f the guilty person. The
belief Is held by some that the en?
tire Incident was merely the prnnk
of ssme boys who were celebrating a
recent baseball victory, and the belief
I of an attempt at burglary has been
1 abandoned.
The Universal Endorsement of
is shown by the fact that over twenty tons are used

WATKINS MUSI
SERVE SENTENCE
No Error in Case Against Black
Mountain Police Officer.
Other Opinions.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
Raleigh. N. C, May ?The North
Carolina Supreme Court delivered
opinions mi nineteen appeals this
evening, and will deliver a iinal hatch
Wednesday noon, ami adjourn for the
term.
The court finds no error in the
case of State vs. P. c. Wutklns, from
Buncombe, in which the Rlack Moun?
tain pol'ce officer is under sentence ot
six years on the roads tor killing John
Hill Bunting in Black Mountain Hotel
In August, 1909, so Wat kins must now
take up the service of his sentence.
In E. i? Mason vs. Seaboard Air
Line Hallway, from Mecklenburg, the
trial below is sustained, Mason losing
his suit for damages tor being put
off of u passenger train between Ellcn
boro and Charlotte in August. 1910,
because In- wouldn't show his mileage
book from which the coupons had
been pulled for mileage ticket he pre?
sented to the conductor. The court
holds that the mileage book terms
are a special contract between the
railroad company and the mileage
book owner, and such a passenger has
no right beyond the terms on the
ticket. In refusing to show the mlle
age tiook when demanded, he forfeited]
j his right to be a passenger, and his
l ejection was Justifiable.
Justice Brown writes the opinion of
the court. Chief Justice Clark tiles
i. dissenting opinion denying that the
shie of the --cent mileage book was
sold us u favor, and asserting that
uct was one of the terms of the com?
promise between the State and tho
railroad companies in 1907 and lf>08.
He argues tho mileage ticket a useless
regulat'on not .permitted except In
North Carolina, Virginia and Georg'a.
Jt was tried In South Carolina and
prohibited by the SCUo, and that the
mileage book terms are vexations and
unnecessary regulations that should
not be upheld by the courts. The opin?
ions delivered by the Supremo Court
follow:
Midgetto vs. Gray, from Dare, new
trial ordered, the former opinion can

Effect of Great Kidney
Remedy is Soon Realized
I feel it my duty to let you know what
Swamp-Root did for me. "i was bothered
with my back for over twenty years, and
at times I could hardly get out of bed.
I read your advertisement and decided
to try Swamp-Root. Used five bottles,
and it has been five years since I used it,
and I have never been bothered a day
since I took the last bottle of it. I am
thoroughly convinced that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root cured me and would recom?
mend it to others suffering as I did.
My husband was troubled with kidney
and bladder troubles, and he took your
Swamp-Root and it cured him. This was
about five years ago.
