Thorc is great rejoicing in Columbia
over the action of Judge Buchanan in
vacating his order of injunction in
the Park-Seaboard matter. As soon
as tin doeision was announcos the
attorneys for the plaintiffs gave nptlco
of an appeal, the effect of which it is
not thought will stop the work, but
must yet bo soon.
The great public interest in the
case was shown by tho character of
the largo audience that liiled the
