S.C. Code Ann. § 49-19-1840: Trial of suit to enforce lien; continuances.

All suits instituted under the preceding sections shall stand for trial as other equitable actions unless a continuance be granted for good cause shown within the discretion of the court. And such continuance, for good cause shown, may be granted as to a part of the lands or defendants without affecting the duty of the court to dispose finally of the others as to whom no continuance may be granted. All such suits may be disposed of on oral testimony.
