Local Damage Case
Settled at Newton
The case of J.L. Little against the Hickory Hosiery Mills
was compromised in Catawba superior court without going before the jury. Each
party will pay his own costs and Mr. Little gets $2,250 damages by agreement.
The action grew out of the emptying of dye wash into a
branch that flows through Mr. Little’s land. He alleges that the water injured
his land and cattle, some of them dying as a result.
The defense claimed that the dye water was harmless and that
any chemicals it might contain were in such small quantities as not to be
injurious. The case will be of much interest throughout the country, as
conditions here doubtless obtain at many other places.
