kind as he He is constantly going
out of his way to please others. and
the result is that he is continually
pleasing himself.
Listen, for instance, to the quaint
compliment he paid me the last time
he came to hear me preach. He wait
ed for me at the church door at the
end of the service and, shaking me
by the hand, said gravely:
at mean no offence, but I feel
obliged to tell you that the preaching
this morning has been of a kind that

today couldn't do 1t. You interfered

fair show the witnesses were all
separated and brought into the
the court room one at a time.
Not stopping here the court de-
Pcided to keep the jury together
and thus be free from any out
side influence that might develop
and the twelve men were kept
shut from the outside world
from Tuesday morning when the
case was called until Saturday
morning when the verdict was
returned.
This matter began just about
a year ago, that is, it first be-
gan to show itself then. It was
later in the year, in the early
fall when it came to the
ears of DR.. Sanderford and also
to Mrs. Garner and to her hus-
band that Mr.. Thoaas M. Thom-
ason, a prominent citizen had
quoted his son-in-law as saying
things that damaged Mrs. Gar
ner's character and also injured
DR.. Sanderford. Then MIR.
Thomason was arrested and CIV
en- a preliminary trial before JUS
tices Taylor and Burwell, who
sent him to court under a small
bond. In all the trial that has |
followed Mr.. Thomasson has not |
denied that he said some things
that he had heard, but he has de- |
MED that he knows anything of i
his own knowledge, and then
had large numbers of witnesses
summoned to prove the character |
of the prosecuting witness. The
other side responded in kind and
there was the hard fight on from
then to the present time. 1t was
a fearful bitter trial.
