DEMURRED TO A
CHINESE EXHIBIT.
ARGUMENT AT NEXT TERM.
HUI 81 LET, CHINAMAN, PREFERS
PLEADINGs IN ENGLISH.

Other Grounds of Objection to Origi-
nal Petition Will Be Heard in SUI
periOr Court When New Term is
Held in OctOber-Chung Chang
Had Charged Demurring Defend
ant With BesmirchiDg His Char
ncter, In Connection With COnec-
lions for Tung Wah Yeen HOspi-
tai.
Not until the next term of the Su-
perior Court will the interesting point
raised in the demurrer of HUI 81 Let
to the petition of Chung Chang, as to
the validity of an exhibit in Chinese,
be argued. A decree passing the ar
gument until the next term was enter
ed yesterday morning in the Superior
Court.
The original suit was filed April IA,
and was unusually interesting, because
of the fact that in the records of the
courts there is no other case so far as
known, in which one Chinaman has
sued another for damages. In fact,
the almond eyed Celestials have gen.
orally been content to heap much
washee," and keep strictly out of the
courts, except when some Chink grew
too elastic with his name.
According to the petition filed by
Chung Chang. his good character has
been damaged by the acts of HUI 81 Let
to the extent of $4,000, a claim which
he called on the Chatham County Court
to indorse.
Claims Heavy Damages.
The petition charges that the defend
ant had made a false and malicious
publication in New York, to the effect
that the petitioner had collected some
thing like $50 for the Tung Wah Yeen
Hospital, and had only forwarded the
sum of $14.75.
The defendant is charged with hav-
ing written letter to Lee 1t Yu, sup
erintendent of the Tung Wah Yeen
Hospital. alleging that Chung Chang
had knocked down" the difference be-
tween the two sums named, and hav-
ing Furthermore forged the names of
FIVE other Cinnamon in support of his
charges.
Chung Chang is a truck farmer near
savannah, and claimed he sold much of
his produce in New York, where the
publication of the letter was liable to
do him great damage.
Exhibit is n Puzzle.
The exhibit demurred to closely re-
sembles the imprint of flies feet after
contact with an ink pot. 1t purports
to he a copy of the letter sent to New
York. Attorney Richards, who repre-
sents the defendant, desired to take
no chances on the hiroglyphics, and
demanded that the instrument be ren-
! dered in the Kings English or not at
all.
In the demurrer to the bill it was
asked that the petitioner be required
to give the names of the five Celes-
tails with forged names, and also t.
| show just how he would be damaged
among his alleged New York custom
| ers whose names were also asked. 1t
is claimed, further, that the charges Of
| the petitioner are too vague.
All of these things will be argued be-
fore Judge Cam next October at the
new term of the Superior Court.

But He Was Out of His Chair and
Not in the Line of Fire.
After what his friends regard as sew
eral narrow escapes Maj. J. Ferris
Cam, one of the representatives from
Chatham county. returned from Allan
ia yesterday morning.
Maj. Cam agrees with his fellow
representatives that the final session
of the Legislature was strenuous one.
But he played no part in the strenuous
stunts that were pulled off in the
House.
1t CHANGED that he was not in his
seat when the differences between
members occurred. Maj. Cam was at
the Speakers desk when the ink well
was hurled or he would have felt the
ink rather than Representative Will
liam Harden. Again he was out OF
his place when a fight occurred. or he
would have been directly in the line
OF fire.
