BIackIisting Delinquent Debtorss.

There were lively times in the Cir.
cult Court at Pulaski last week, the re-
suit of libel suits against certain Pu-
aaski merchants, growing out of the
blacklisting of number of parties as
delinquent debtors by a certain mer-
camille agency. The courtroom was
crowded each day, and great deal of
bitterness has been engendered. There
w r so many people in the courtroom
at one time that Judge Broyles ordered
it cleared. ID. B. Garrett, an eX
Lynnville merchant, rose up and said
he thought the courtroom belonged to
the people and not the lawyers. The
Judge refused to inc Garrett, but Or
dered him to be moved along by the
sheriff. The sheriff and Attorney Hume
E. Steele had fight, growing out of the
cases, and Judge BroyLes came near
jailing ex-senator Flournoy Rivers, of
counsel or the d. PENDANTS. The Incl
dent grew out of Attorney Rivers rigid
examination of the witnesses, to which
Attorney 10 Russell, for the plaintiffs,
took offense. The only case concluded
went in favor of the defendants on the
ground of justification.
