From the Abbcville Banner.
DEATH OF ANOTHER PALMETTO

1t becomes our painful duty to announce the
death Of Richard Watson, of this District, after
q short illness.
The deceased was a son of Mrs. DR.. j. p.
Barrett, and leaves an aged mother, two sisters,
u brother and three little children to mourn his
loss, in connection with numerous friends aud
relatives.
In 1916 when the call was made upon Able.
vile District to furnish Il company of volunteers
for the war with Mexico, Richard, and his brother
Edward, were amur:. the first to Volunteer from
the White Hall ncighborhood, in Capt MarsIalls
Company. During that brilliant Campaign no
private in the Volunteer or regular service, dis
played more untaunt!esS heroism and courage
than Kichard Watson. When Col. GLADDEN.,
the day before the storming Of Chapultapec,
called upon each company Of the Palmetto Regi-
ment to furnish one for the ,tarlorn Aqc, Rich.
ard Watson was the first man TO step out, and
offered 70 become one of that devoted band. In
the storning Of Chapultapec he was shot down
at the base of the fort, and although severely
wounded, he still kept cheering on his comrades
to the assault. For his gallant services, and the
wound he received in the forlorn hope, he re-
ccived Il handsome pension from the Govern.
meMt.
IIo will long lac rens.nLer.l hy Lis een,sns,s
rs the brave DICK Watson, who never deserted Il
friend nor feared to face foe. His name will
be cherished in .lbbcvillc as Ion. as the gallant
services of the Palmetto Regiment will be re.
metubercd, and his name handed down as one
of Carolina'S bravest sons.
A FRIEND.
