Court PROCEEDINGS.

Judge Dantzler arrived on Wednes-
day afternoon and opened court on
Thursday morning, though very much
indisposed.
Thecase of Perry Seastrunk against
the Leaphart Lumber Co., a damage
suit for $5 900 for personal injuries al
legged to have been received while the
plaintiff was in the employ of the
company. After hearing all the tes-
timony in the case and arguments of
counsel, the jury retired and returned
after being out short while, with a
verdict in favor of tho defendant.
The plaintiff was represented by Mes
srs. Graham & Sturkie; the defend
ant by Messrs. Shand & Shand. of
Columbia.
Atthe conclusion Of this case Judge
Dantzler, realizing that his condition
would not permit him to carry on the
business of the court, ordered court
adjourned sine die, and he left for his
home in Orangeburg on Friday morn
ing.
Only four cases, out of about IS on
the civil docket, were disposed of at
this term. This leaves the dockets in
very bad shape and as it will be June
before another term is held, it can
readily be seen that the next judge
will find his hands full.
No equity cases were heard at all,
and Judge Dantzler promised to re-
turn as soon as he finished court at
Edgedeld.
