Next Tuesday will be the
most important day in twentyfive
years for the American people,
for on that day they endorse
the noble administration of the
greatest president since Washington
and give him control of
affairs for four more years, or go
back into the hands of Wall
street. This is the first time in
fifty years that the common people
have had a chance. Wilson
and a Democratic congress have
tied the robber-tariff barons and
the "money trust" operators
hand and foot, and it is indeed a
mighty howl that is going up
for friend Hughes and the beloved
Republican party. Never
did a candidate have so much
money behind him and so little
to stand on as Hughes. He has
searched to the ends of the earth
for an issue, but in vain, so he
has long since settled down to a
long and bitter arraignment o.
Wilson and his record. He is
making about as much show
however as a red-headed sap
sucker on the trunk of a strong,
tough hickory. He has proven

much news in that, did you say?
Well, maybe not. But it proba

the community than other hap

mention. There should be a
live debating society at every
school house. Not only the
boys but the men need the train

debating society or club. Why
not put your school to the fore
by helping to organize a
society there? Can you speak

Case of Long Standing Compromised
in County Court
A sigh of relief was heard
irom all over the court room
yesterday when attorneys in the
celebrated case of Watson vs.
Paschal and others announced
that they had compromised their
differences and that the case
could now be marked "ended,"
says the (chesterfield Advertiser.
i his case has been fought
pver back and forth from SuI
preme court to lower court for a
matter of ten years and judge,
jury and attorneys were looking
forward to a very hard and
disagreeable struggle when court
opened yesterday morning.
About ten years ago a Mr.
Watson was a lumber broker
and claimed that Messrs. Paschal
and Gresham were due him five
thousand dollars as commission
on the sale of a tract of land in
this county below Cheraw. Suit
was begun for the five thousand
dollars and an attachment levied.
Defendants' attorneys secured
an order from the then Circuit
Judge, R. C. Watts, dismissing
the attachment. Watson's attorneys
appealed to the Supreme
Court and Judge Watts* order
was over ruled and attachment
was allowed to stand.
Thp rosp ill on ramp on for
trial before the late Judge Ernest
Cary, who, after plaintitfs testimony
was all in, granted a nonsuit.
Watson's attorneys again
appealed to the Supreme Court
and that Court over ruled the
trial judge and sent the case back
for a third trial before a jury.
The case was tried again and
this time resulted in a verdict in
Watson's tavor tor the full
amount claimed, $5,000 and interest,
a total of $8,200. The at
torneys for Paschal and Gresham
filed an appeal to the Supreme
Court and on some
ground or other, secured a new
trial. The case was then tried
again and resulted in a jury verdict
in favor of Watson for
$5,000. Upon motion, however,
Judge Frank B. Cary set the ver
diet of the jury aside. Watson's
attorneys appealed to the Supreme
Court but this Court sustained
the trial judge and ordeied
the case for trial again.
This celebrated case was set
for the present term for another
trial and was to have been started
Wednesday morning, when a
compromise was reached, to the
great relief of everybody concerned,
including the presiding
judge, the bar and last, but not
least, the tax payers of Chesterfield
county.
Watson's claim to date with
interest, exceeds $10,000 and it is
understood in the compromise
he received about forty per cent,
of this amount.
Watson lives in California and
four times he has traveled across
the continent and back again,
J6r this case has been heard four
hncs before circuit judges and
irad foor times by the Supreme
Court of South Carolina.
It is estimated that each side
has spent over one thousand
dollars fighting this case, while
the cost bill will go into a third
thousand,
