C.A.F.E., where appropriate. 2 . According to Kennedy, he was the organizer of four chapters of C.A.F.E.

For better understanding of the issues involved in this opinion, we will follow the Supreme Court's directive and use the following language to refer to the two parts of a slander action. A statement is (1) either defamatory per se or defamatory per quod, and (2) either actio .E. 889 (1935); Turner v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 165 S.C. 253, 163 S.E. 796 (1932); see Sandifer v. Electrolux Corp., 172 F.2d 548 (4th Cir.1949) (<HOLDING>). Therefore, we dismiss Kennedy’s arguments in
