S. C. Anti-Duelling Law Is Recalled by Death of Watts tor in Augusta Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Cassels and little son have returned from a visit in Greenwood with Mrs. Casseis’ par ents, Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Calhoun. Father-In-Law of Late Chief Justice of Promise Not to Fight Killed Man in Duel, Causing Inclusion i Duel In State Oaths. Columbia, Oct. 18.—The death Lf Chief Justke Richard C*. Watts indi rectly brings to the minds of many of the older generation the reason for inclusion of the “dueling clause” that all State officials have to swear to. The oath reads: “ . . . . I do further solemnly swear that I have not since the first of January, in the year 1881, engaged in a duel as princi pal or otherwise; and that I will not, during the term of office to which I have been elected, engage in a duel as principal or otherwise.” Judge Watts’ first wife was Miss Alleine Cash, < f Cash’s depot, a daughter of E. H. (’. Cash, who en gaged in a duel with Col. William Shannon, and it was this duel which s o aroused the people of the State that in order to prevent further dueling in South Carolina the clause was insert ed. 'The Shannon-Cash duel occasioned a vast deal of comment from the pul pit and press and marked the death knell of the custom in this State. It occurred July 5, 1880, at DuBois’ bridge in Darlington County. In a pamphlet-descriptive of the duel and the causes leading up to it, Mr. Cash says: “At the solicitation of Coi. William M. Shannon, a dis tinguished lawyer of Camden and a prominent citizen of South Carolina, I met that gentleman at DuBois’ bridge in Darlington County, July 5, 1880, for the purpose of settling a personal difficulty that had arisen between us. We fought in the usual manner of duelling. The fight was faif and equal and there has been no complaint on the part of his (Shan non’-) friends that I sought or ob tained any advantage over him. He fell at my fire and I can honestly say I do not believe a braver man ever hit the dust. He went down with his colors flying and fronting the foe.” Some time later Mr. Cash was ar rested. the first trial resulting in a mi- trial and the second time he was acquitted. The difficulty arose over transactions in regard to certain pro-; peity. W. E. Ashley, Mrs. C. J. Ashley and Miss-Annie Foreman metored to Au gusta Tuesday.
