LAW SUIT RESULT OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLE Misses Essie and Lorena Lasley, of Winston-Salem, have returned to the Twi City after a ehort visit The J&view understands lha: kHon. A. L. Brooks, of Greensboro, 4ias ueen hunting m the Meadoivs this week, and while in the vicinity of, Spray he has taken occasion, or 'will da so, to make formal " de mand upon the Leaksville Courier for the withdrawal, retraction and apolcgy for the publication of an article whicH . that paper recently printed for Mir. D. F. King, Leaks ville's wealthiest citizen, which At torneys Brooks, McMichael and Ivie contend reflected upon their char acter, thus containing- libelous mat ter. We also understand that a no tice has been given, in Ouilford coun ty thad a suit will be entered there lhy A. L. Brooks against the said D. F. King. The Greensboro Rjecord discusses tare causes for the suit in the following arcticle which appeared in that paper a few days ago: Brief mention was made the other day in this paper about a probable suit or suits for libel to be brought by certain attomeya agains the Leaksville Courier and Mr. D. F. King, a well to do rnian of Rocking ham county. The papers have not yet (been served and the full Im port of the proceeding can not be given. However, a Rockingham county man here last night told a representative of this paper some of the particulars of the case. ' The plaintiffs are Messrs. A. L, Brooks, of Greensboro, C. O. Mc Michael and State Senator Ivie, of Rockingham county, all prominent attorneys of the State f " The contemplated action at law grows out of a cafe tried in Rbtk iagjiam Superior court . not long ago. In brief this suit was brought by( Mr. i King fori an! tnetttu'te of learning in that county, against Mr. B.Frank Mebane' for $1,500, due by NEW YEAR The beginning of a new quarter in the SAVINGS DEPARTMENT OF THE CITIZENS BANK. Deposits made in our Savings Deyartment on or before Jany. 5, 1914, will draw interest at 4 per cent, from Jan. 1 compounded quar terly. $1 i00 or more will open an account which will-have Resources of More Than $575,000. Back of It note. Some years ago Mr, Mebane undertook: to establish a school :f technoItgy in Leaksville or Spray. -Two sites were offered, one being tl property cf this Institute of learning. The other was an unoccu pied ,bulldtag, comparatively new, erected for a manufacturing plant, but no machinery had been installed. vMr. King, it was said, was greatly interesttd ii' having Mir. Mebane purchase this institute property. So. was Mr. Mebane. but others who had subscribed stock favored the iniil building. To set things at rest. t'r. MeJbane, so it is stated, met a uumler of gentlemen at a meeting one night and told those present that be" would buy the institute property and as an evidence of good faith.: ave his note for fifteen hundred .i'tll'y;s, payable in 60 days-. Had tho property been purchased this note would of course net have been Cay&ble, but1 certain contingencies arose and it was not bought. Then suit was brought on the note. At; the first trial the jury failed (ice agree. Not many weeks ago a second hearing came on and Judg ment was given against Mr, Mebane for the full amount Messrs. McMichael .and Ivie represented Mr. Mobane. In The Courier Published some weeks ago was an article signed by Mr. King, in which he attacked these attorneys in what they claim was a most savage manner, calling' them sundry and various names, which these gentlemen say is libelous, In the extreme, henoe the prospective suit against the publisher of the paper and also against the author oil the article, Mr. King. Under tflie newspaper libel law in ' this State, the newspaper can, on de mand, make due apology and escape Puniths damages under certain con ditions, but It is said Mr. King, not bff'ng' a newspaper publisher, ' can tkfVthus escape. He ia reputed to be worth considerable property, hence the prospect for collecting a Judgment should one be obtained, is rather inviting. 3EAUTIFUL DANCE GIVEN AT HOTEL ROCKINGHAM.
