19) When left to your own devices Hints from Heloise found for Smith in October 1980 following a 14-day trial. Smith and two other men were tried in July 1977 for mail fraud involving the installation of a heat pump at a co-defendent's residence at Southern's expense. A co-defendent who was employed by the company instructed Smith to pay for the installation of a five-ton air conditioner at a railroad building and bill Southern. Unknown to Smith, however, the heat pump was installed at a home. The second trial, in September 1977, involved bills to Southern for work on derailments.

Smith was accused of charging the railroad for derailment jobs he did not do and for billing other jobs as derailments. Derailments, in which wheels were off the tracks, could be minor or major, Smith's attorneys said. Smith and a co-defendant were acquitted in that trial. Railroad officials often instructed contractors to do jobs for the company and bill them as derailments, a practice called "job swapping," according to one of Smith's attorneys. In the opinion issued Monday, Appellate Judge Hiram E.

Widener Jr. said there was no evidence to support Smith's contention that he was being prosecuted with malicious intent. "While it is understandable that a petit (trail), jury, especially giving Smith the benefit "of the doubt, could find him not guilty of knowingly participating in the submisssion of the false invoices in question, that is not to say that probable cause did not exist either for obtaining the indictment or for its prosecution," Widener wrote.

SMOAK Lester Kingman Smoak, 57, of 155 Henley Orangeburg, died Thursday evening at Orangeburg Regional Hospital. By The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. A $1.3 million award to a railroad contractor who sued Southern Railway Co. has been reversed by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In a unanimous ruling, a three-judge panel in Richmond, overturned the 1980 verdict, saying the evidence did not warrant the damages awarded to contractor Tiny Smith of Columbia. Lawyers involved in the case said they learned Wednesday of the decision issued Monday. Smith's lawsuit charged Southern with maliciously prosecuting him and having him fired from a railroad project. The malicious prosecution allegations concerned mail fraud charges on which Smith and others were tried twice in 1977. The charges arose from a Southern Railway investigation involving their employees and "job swapping" where work done on one project was billed to the railroad as another job.

Smith was found innocent both times, although others were convicted. Later, when Smith was working as a subcontractor on a Southern Railway project in Savannah, railroad officials ordered the Contractor to have Smith removed from that project. Southern officials said Smith was prosecuted because he was suspected of defrauding the company. He was acquitted in both trials, but Southern took his name off a list of contractors approved for railroad projects because the company considered him untrustworthy.

Drain on a paper towel and roll in powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar.

Tasty donuts without a mess! Pat HARD NUT TO CRACK Dear Heloise: To crack walnuts, brazil nuts, and other hard-shelled nuts more easily, put them in a pan of cold water and cover with a lid. Bring the water to a boil and let boil about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool and you'll find them much easier to shell. E.J.R. DOG-GONE HAIR Dear Heloise: With two shedding dogs you can imagine what our indoor-outdoor carpeting looked like out on our front porch.

After vacuuming it, it still looked awful, so I kept thinking what could use to get that dog hair up. Then I thought of the dog brash. It only took minutes and the carpeting looks great! I'll never try to vacuum it again. Suzye BABY'S PANTS Dear Heloise: With two children in diapers, I found that plastic pants could get to be expensive. I was having to throw away many pairs because of tears or displeasing odors.

A plastic swimming pool repair glue was the answer to the tears, and I found soaking the plastic pants in one-fourth cup cider vinegar to a gallon of water, leaving them overnight, was the answer to the "smelly" problem. M.F. DEAR HELOISE: How can I get the smell of soured milk out of the carpeting in my car? Robert Is the carpeting removable and washable? If you soaked up all the milk you possibly could when the accident happened, and washed it as thoroughly as possible, yet still have the smell, then all you can do is mask it, or cover it up. Baking soda or cat litter is good for deodorizing. Just sprinkle it liberally over the carpet and leave it for several hours.

These deodorizers will also absorb any moisture left in the carpeting once the milk has been cleaned up. If not, you will have to spray air freshener, perfume, etc. to cover it up. Hope this helps. Heloise PRINTOUT Dear Heloise: To remove the printing on tops of margarine tubs or plastic bottles, use fingernail polish remover.

Some printing is not removable, but most is and the remover makes a simple and neat job out of it. J. W. DELICIOUS DONUTS Dear Heloise: For an easy and quick way to make donuts for snack time, use canned refrigerator biscuits. The store brand is just as good, and more economical, as the name brands.
