to its Chairman, Gen. james +. IHlar
for the work done by them duriag the

The Court OF General Sessions for
Rchland has been engaged for more
than a week hearing the Slander Suit OF
Mrs. W. B. Mcdaniel VS.. Horace E.
Bruce and A. E. Fugle. The testimony
given by the witnesses is of such char
acter that it seems unfortunate that the
parties should have felt it their duty to
appeal to the Courts for vindication.
The people of the Southern States have
been spared the modification Of having
their Courts occupied in hearing causes
OF this kind and trust they may en-
deavor to check any tendency on the
part Of its citizens to do that which
might neoessltate resort to law In order
to get redress.
