CATTIS-KILGO DECISION.
The Finding of the Supreme
Court In thi Noted Cae.
"The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Gattis vs. Kilgo is given
below. It Is taken from the columns
of the Charlotte Observer:
i
One who appears in his own behalf
or in behalf of another, is privileged to
say, in the progress of the trial, any
thing in reference to the character or
conduct of the oposing party that is
revelant to the issue before the court,
without recurring liability in an action
of slander predicted upon the lan
guage used.
Upon the foregoing principle It is
held that where the president of a col
lege is on trial before the trustees of
the institution as to his fitness for such
position the trial having been brought
by reason of certain charges preferred
against his character and competency,
his severe and caustic language in re
ference to the instigator of the charges
if pertinent to the issue, is absolutely
privileged, and the trustees have the
right to publish the proceedings, in
cluding the language used by said pre
sident, for the purpose of giving to the
public and the patrons of the college
all the information concerning tbe
whole matter which the investigation
and trial may have brought out, pro
vided the publication is made without
malice.
In- such case, the language complain
ed of being a privileged communica
tion, malice in the publication thereof
cannot be in ferred from indifference
as to its consequences to the plaintiff,
and although the language as publish
ed may contain some expressions
which go beyond what is necessary
for the defence of the college, it does
not follow that the publication affords
evidence of malice which the plaintiff
is entitled to have submitted to the
jury.
When the facts are uncontroverted,
it is for the cort to decide whether or
not the publication is absolutely priv
ileged, and if the court decides that
the publication is privileged or condi
tionally privileged, then the question
whether there is intrinsic or extrinsic
evidence of malice is alnatter of law
to be determined by the court.
Before damage can be recovered by
one, by reason of words spoken or pub
lished in reference to his profession or
office, he must have been actually en
gaged in work of his profession or
in the possession of the office at the
time the words were spoken or writ
ten.
TO EXCLUDE M'LAURIN,
Executive Committee
Decides
Upon a Plan.
Columbia, S. C, June 17. The plan
to exclude Senator McLaurin from the
Democratic primaries next summer has
been decided on by the executive com
mittee. The convention next May will
amend the primary oath to include
the recognition as party principles
those included In the last Democratic
national platform.
A JACK. RABBIT RACE.
One May Be Arranged for Dur
ing the Races Next Month.
Preparations for the races which will
take place at the Fair Grounds, July
4th, 5th, and 6th, are going rapidly for
ward. Col. Horton, of Asheville, who
has the meet in hand, is a hustler
when it comes to horse racing, and he
is thoroughly conversant with every
detail necessary to the success of a
meet. He has had large experience
and Is a well known figure in racing
m m m m 1
circles. The success wnicn nas at
tended his meets in other cities in the
State, is a guarantee that the one
which he will give here will be equally
successful.
Between twenty and twenty-five
horses are now at the track, getting
in trim for the event, and lovers of the
sport will have an opportunity of wit
nessing some fast trotting.
To vary the races Col. Horton has
in other places, Introduced a novelty
in racing that of running jack rabbits,
and this feature of the meets have met
with public favor.
It is probably that a rabbit race will
be arranged for the coming meet.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
The Strike at Newport News a
Source of Uneasiness.
Newport News, Va., June 15. The
entire ship yard will shut down Men
day evening at 6 o'clock.
This decision has been reached by the
officials of the Newport News Ship
Building and Dry-Dock Company. Gen
eral Superintendent Walter A. Post
stated today that unless the machin
ists return to work Monday morning,
or unless enough, men report to carry
on the great volume of work which has
been lacking attention since the inau
guration of the strike, the plant will
close own without further delay, and
will remain closed until sufficient men
are secured to do the necessary work.
This step, which is no longer in
doubt, will throw 7,000 men the wage
earners of Newport News out of em
ployment, and the result is awaited
with feeling of anxiety and fear. The
closing of the yard is sure to affect the
general business interests, and, it is
feared, cause great suffering.
Today over 700 more men were laid
off because there was no work for them
to do. The yard closed at noon foe
the usual Saturday half-holiday.
The company now holds contracts
aggregating nearly $30,000,000, but it is
protected by strike clauses in each.
President C. B. Orcutt. it is under
stood, has made arrangements to take
the Jllinois to one of the navy-yards
for the finishing touches, if it is found
necessary to close down Monday.
President E. J. Mulcahy, of the Ma
chinists Union, stated today that as
far as he knew there is not one man
among the strikers who has held out
thus far who will return to work Mcn
day. This being the case, there can
be but one result.
President Connell, of the Interna
tional Association of Machinists, has
wired that he is on the way here. He
is expected to reach the city tomorrow
or Monday, to give the strikers the
benefit of his advice.
The special committee of the Busi
ness Men's Association, appointed to
bring about arbitration, today made a
report to the effect that all its efforts
were futile, the striking machinists
maintaining that their demands were
just and proper, and the ship-yard be
ing equally decided in the course It is
ursuing in the matter.
MARTIN AND SWANSON.
Yesterday's Virginia Primaries
Ensure Montague's Nomina
tion for Governor Fitz. Iee
May be Senator.
Richmond, Va., June 15. The result
of todays' primaries assures the de
feat of Congressman Swanson , Sena
tor Margin's candidate for Governor.
From the beginning of what has
proved. the most interesting campaign
known in Virginia for many years, it
was seen that the defeat of Martin's
candidate was certain. His opponent,
Attorney General Montague, promptly
made the issue before the people that
this fight was on the continuance of
Martin and the old ring in politics. He
pointed out that Mr. Swanson was en-
dcrsel by Senators Daniel and Martin
and seven out of the ten members of
the House from this State. This arous
ed the people as they had not been be-
ore in years. They recalled how Mar
tin had thrown Fitz. Lee down for the
senatorship eight years ago. The re
sult was, despite every combination ef
fected, that county after county went
for Montague and against Swanson and
Martin's ideas. The ruling element en
deavored to stem the tide by inducing
Daniel to make a speech in Lynchburg,
his home. Notwithstanding this appeal
of Virginia's popular leader that city
and county went against Daniel and
Martin by four or five to one. Yester
day Isle of Wight, the home county of
Col. Day, the father-in-law of Martin,
and one of the first who by his acts
aroused the people, went overwhelm
ingly against Swanson.
Today's returns show that in the
southwest everything heard from has
rone in the same way. Next week Al
bemarle, the home of Martin, will
throw itself In the machine rule col
umn. Not only do Swanson and his
managers see what is in store for them,
but the coming revolution Is fully rea
lized by Daniel and Martin. It is only
a question now whether Fitz. Lee or
Montague will be Senator Martin's suc
cessor. It may be that Lee will have
