Small Fire Sunday Night.

The fire department. was called out
about 10 O'Clock last Sunday
nightly an alarm of fire from
the residence of Mr.. N. G..
Osteeu, on West Hampton avenue,
but by the time the bose wagons arriv-
ed aud stretched line Of hose-and
they got there on record time-the fire
was under control and it was not
necessary to turn on the water. The
fire originated from some unknown
cause in closet on the second floor,
under the stairway leading to the attic,
in which was stored blankets, towels
and bed ard table linen not in regular
use and no one had been in the closet
for sometime. When the fire was dis
covered the whole interior of the closet
was burning and the attic was so filed
with smoke that the whole upper
part of the house appeared to be burn
ing. The fire, however. had not burn
ed through the walls Of the closet and
few buckets of water promptly applied
put out the fire. The damage was
not great. Mr.. N. G. Osteen had his
face and hands blistered by the outrush
OF the flames when he opened the
closet door to throw water on Che fire.

The candidates for county Offices are
beginning to line up. Runor has it
that Supervisor Scale, who will be a
candidate for reelection, will have op-
position, two we'll known citizens
being spoken of as probable candidates.
It is said that Sheriff Scarborough
will not seek reelection, but there will
be no dearth of candidates for this
Office, which now pays substantial
and attractive salary, in addition to
certain fees, and there are three or
four aspirants spoken of. Clerk of
Court Parrott will seek to succeed
himself, but it is confidently predicted
that he will not have an open field,
but as vet no one has been spotted as
candidate. The possible candidates
i'm opposition to County Treasurer Lee
and Auditor Wilder are not generally
discussed, and BY some it is believed
that they will not have opposition but
that remains to be seen.

or ridiculous, Is libeious, but so far
as know, an article which makes
an opinion pronounced by teacher
has not been held libelous! There
is certainly a distinction between a
publication which tends to make the
individual infamous, odious, or ridicu.
lous and publication which relates
to a persons opinions upon topics of
public interest. Certainly in no case
to which our attention has been called
has it ever been held that a publ
cation which tends to ridicule opir-
ions upon controverted subjects Is
libelous, as tending to make the indi-
vidual who is responsible for these
opinions ridiculous.
In Stone VS.. Cooper, Chancellor
Walworth, in the court of errors,
said: But to sustain a private &C.
tion for the recovery of a compensat
ion in damages for a false and un.
authorized publication, the plaintiff
in such action must either aver and
prove that he has sustained some
special damage from the publication
of the matter charged against him;
or the nature of the charge itself
must be such that the court can legal
ly presume he has been degraded in
the estimation of his acquaintance or
of the public, or has suffered some
other loss either in his property, char.
acter or business, or in his domes-
tic or social relations. in consequence
of the publication of such charge.
Where from the nature of the charge,
therefore, in connection with other
facts stated In the plaintiffs declar-
ations, no such injury or loss will nee.
essarily or even probably result to
him in consequence of the publication
of such charge, he cannot recover
damages as for libel, without aver
ring and proving that special damage
has been, in act, sustained by him in
consequence of the publication of the
the false and unfounded charge"
l think, therefore, that this article
cannot be said to be libelous per Sc,
and, as no special damage is alleged,
the complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a couse of ac.
tion.
