GREGORY, Justice:

Respondent R.C. Scott brought this libel action against appellant Thomas C. McCain to recover actual and punitive damages. This appeal is from the order of the lower court overruling McCain's demurrer to the complaint and permitting Scott to amend the complaint. We reverse that part of the lower court's order that overrules the demurrer, and affirm that part that permits Scott to amend the complaint.
