THF MERGER SUIT
HAS BEEN DECIDED
CASE AGAINST SOUTHERN GOES BACK
FOR HEARING.
Attorney General Lyon Will Have to Push
Original Complalnt-HlStory
of the Case.
The State.


The State.
The State supreme court has rem
dered a decision in the famous mer-
ger suit brought by the State OF
South Carolina against the South-
err railway. The decision reverses
order of the lower court, when
allowed the attorney general to
withdraw the present suit and bring
other proceedings but allow the at
torney general to try the suit at
any time and does not affect the
issues. The decision is Of vital I'M
portance, although it is probable
that with the appeals and demur-
rers entered it will be some time
before it is finally settled.
The history Of the merger suit IS
familiar to those who have followed
it. Some years ago the Southern
railway acquired the old South
Carolina road and several branch
lines il this State, SPECIAL act
being passed by the general assem-
lo1v authorizing the lease. After
the leases were completed several
suits were brought by private par
ties against the Southern railway
on the ground that the constitution
had been violated in that competing
lines had been bought up. The
object of these suits was to obtain
penalties from the railroad as pro-
vided by law. Finally at the re-
quest of the late Attorney General
Gunter, the general assembly au-
thorized that department to bring
suit to test the validity of these
leases, the railroads being anxious
to settle the case. The papers
were accordingly made out and
filed. After much litigation the
case was ordered to a master tor
testimony. These matters were IN
the hands of Attorney General
Gunter and Youmans, both de-
ceased.
Judge Nugh'S Order.
When the case was called, shortly
after Attorney General Lyon took
Office, a motion was made by >that
official to withdraw. the present
case. This motion was resisted by
attorneys for the Southern railway
but the attorney general was sus-
tanned, and the following order was
issued by Judge Klugh:
"This case comes before the
court on motion of the attorney
general to withdraw his complaint
herein and discontinue these pro-
ceedings.
"After hearing argument on
both sides, it being the opinion OF
the court that the attorney general
has the right and authority to dis
continue such proceedings and that
an order to that effect should be
granted upon payment of costs; 1t is
"Ordered and adjudged, That
the clerk of this court do within
IS days tax the proper costs and
disbursements in these proceedings
and upon the payment by the PLAIN
tiff of the costs and disbursements
so taxed the plaintiff have leave to
withdraw this complaint and sum-
mons and discontinue this action
without prejudice.

absolute right and authority to dis

court erred in not holding that a
disco1ltinuance of the case would
deprive the defendants of a sub

continuance should be not granted.
"Excepts because the circuit

der the law and practice OF the
courts of this State this was not a

dants or without the leave OF the
court III the exercise of its judicial
discretion if the defendant objects

plaintiff was estopped or concluded
from moving to discontinue the
case by reason and On account OF
the matters and things set out IN
the afidavits submitted by defen-
dants to the court.
"Excepts because the circuit
court erred in not holding that the
defendants by their answer set up
and claimed affirmative and posi-
tive relief to- which thew were en-
titled by the statute under and by
virtue of which the case was lnstl-
tuted, and that by the provisions of
the act of 1904 they were entitled
in this proceeding to have their
rights and obligations declared and
protected in the decree to be rem
dered, and hence this case could
not be discontinued without their
consent.
"Excepts because the circuit
court erred in not holding that
under the terms and provisions OF
the acts authorizing the institution
and maintenance of this action the
attorney general could not without
further direction of the general
assembly discontinue the same, the
general assembly having expressly
directed and provided for its prose-
cution and not for it's discontinue
ance.
''Excepts because this being a
case in equity, his honor, Judge
Purdy, as circuit judge, had by Or
der made in 1904 framed five issues
of fact and directed the same to be
tried by a jury OH the law side OF
the court. These issues were plac-
ed on calendar I for trial before the
court and jury. The matter came
before the circuit court Oil the call
of the calendar I, for the trial OF
these issues, under this order OF
Judge Purdy. The circuit court
therefore having only before it the
issues so ordered to be tried, by an
other circuit Judge could not refuse
to try the same and try the whole
cause on the motion of the attorney
general"

From the order of Judge Klugh
the following exceptions were taken:
"Excepts because the circuit

defendants, it was only in the ex-
