1Per curiam

The motion is by defendant, Highsmith, to suspend the operation of Judge Shipp’s order until the appeal by Highsmith from Judge Mauldin’s order shall have been heard and decided.

We think the motion must be granted, but only upon’ execution of a bond for $200, with surety to be approved by the clerk of Court for Sumter, conditioned ,to pay so much as the plaintiff, Thompson, may recover in his action against Highsmith.
