Lawrence Demo crat. "CRY ALOUD AND SPARK NOT." VOLUriB XXII. LAWRENCEBURG, TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 19O6 NUHBER 78 Of the Editor's Small Change, the Modest Sum Required to Soothe the Sting that Honor Feels On Tuesday last Charles i Travis Crawford, Editor and owner of , the Democrat, was served wilh notice that suit had been begun in the Circuit Court against him, hy Messrs J. W. Garrett and M. Richardson, for $5,000 each, as the damages which their character has suffer ed from an alleged libel appear ing in this paper, and for which they seek to hold him liable. The matter complained of was not stated in the notice of suit, and this paper has not at this time, had either the time or' in clination .to investigate the matter, but common report has it, that it was a communicated article, appearing in these col umns, criticising severely the ac tion of the County Court in gra nt ing Messrs Garrett and Richard son, $r)00 each for serving as members of the Building Com mittee for the new Court House. In this article the writer made frequent reference to "grafting" and ' grafters' as opposing the interests of .the tax-payers, and doubtless this is the language complained of. The main ques tion involved, and a very inter esting one, is as to whether the the Kditor of ; a newspaper is liable for the words of some other citizen auft tax-payer, in criti cising in the paper the action of his public servants, in disposing of his public money. Of course, while this is the point in contro versy in so far as Mr. Crawford himself is directly involved, yet there are other phases of the matter that will doubtless be bronght in and thoroughly aired before the end is reached. The language used in the offending article was caustic, it is true, and this paper has no means of knowing whether it was justi fied or not, as it has neither formed nor expressed an opinion, having made no investigation, whatever, nor felt more than a mere passing interest therein That remains to be brougnt out in the trial, where it will be sifted to the bottom, ' without doubt. If the gentlemen are injured certainly thejMHight to have re dress. The question as . to whether they are really hurt witnout cause, or if so, as to whether they were hurt by Mr. Crawford, or some one else, are matters for the jury. This paper does not undertake to express an opinion- "Grafting" the charge that requires greenback pain plasters, has come to mean in latter days, the securing of something from the public funds without Jiaving given adequate, service or return therefor, by means of political in fluence or friendship, and if Messrs Garrett and Richardson gave to the public $1000 worth of service Muring- the fiye months they had charge of the bnilding of the Court House then they are not "grafters," and have been libelled by the writer in the Dem ocrat if he so referred to them. The suit promises to be a lively and hard fought legal battle and we do not now pretend to be'able to foresee or predict the final out come. SCIATICA CURED AFTER TWENTY YEARS OF TOR TURE. For more than twenty years Mr. J-B.Massey, of 8322 Clinton St., Minneapolis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica. The pain and BtifferinS which he endured during this lime is beyond comprehension, nothing pave him any permanent relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain Halm, One application of that liniment relieved the pain and made sleep ami rest possible, and lees than one bottle has effected a permanent urc.' If troubled with sciatica or rheumatism why not try a 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain.
