An Amusing Incident In Court-
Offer of Compromise DURING
Trial of Case.

An unusual ana amusing incl
dent occurred IN the court
Room one cay last week
during the trial of a case.
Mir. Sam J. Smith, of Parkton,
ana Mr.. Il. 7 DraLgnan, OF Row
Land, traded horses some time
$50, whereby hangs this tale.
To begin at the beginning, Mr.
Draughan vas the owner of a
horse TO which he WAS very
much attach, d, huJ lie snapped
the horse TO Mr., SMITH Tor a
A reason. +. Dra0gtlan ; horse
Went lame and il seems that Mr..
SLI,n TODD him the horse was
ruined, had a "Iea}-y i,int, "
walch %as : disease No horse mao
ever teen Known il re-
cover from, but mat he would
le. MIR. Dra0gAan have his
sorse, which he va ued Ar $500.
for $50 boot. That was Mr.
Smiths claim, and he claimed
further that the horse was to
sand good for the difference,
and the case grew ou1 of the fact
that Mr.. SmiCh had claim and de-
livery papers served on Mr..
Draughan for the horse. Mr..
Draghan said that he did not IN
derstand that the horse was to
stand good for the difference,
and besides he understood
that the difference was Only
800. When the case was
being tried and Mr.. Draughan
was on the stand he made
statements TO the above
effect, and ne further stated that
since the trade was made he
had been convinced that the
horse he snapped to Mr.. Smith
was not permanently injured,
wherefore, might it please the
court, he was willing to give MIR.
Smith SIS to call the trade of
and each to take back the horse
he had before the trade wa:
made, and might it furthel
please the court. he vas alst
willing to pay half the costs
This compromise ofer was ac
cepted by Mr.. Smith, so there
was nothing else dong Col. \
, A Mclean, Mr.. Draughan.
= counsel, said that he would no
have advised Dim to do that, bu
. since he had made the PROPOSE
, ton on his own initiative, why
, so might II be.
, OF course every body was sur
? prised and amused. Mr.
, Draughan seemed happy ant
satisfied, and if it was not hi
? funeral it was not anybody
. But it cost him a pretty snuj
= little sum to get bis horse bacI
# and land-in the matter of
/. horse-jlst where he was befor

MeSsrS. BrOddy and NeM HarreM,
Twin Brothers, Return to Robe =
son after Fifty Years I'm Texas.

Messrs. Broddy and Neil
Harrell arrived here Friday
night. These gentlemen are
twin brothers and went from
Robson county to Texas
when they were four years old.
They are fifty-four years old
now. which makes it just so
years since they left. Mr..
Broddv Harrell was here on a
visit about five years ago, but
Mr.. Neill Harrell has never
been here since he first left IN
til now. They are brothers
of Mr.. John Harrell, who lives
abont ten miles north Of Lum-
OertOn, near ReDnert. These
gentlemen resem BILE each other
very much. They are about
the same size, and they wear
their beard trimmed exactly
alike and it is rather difficult to
tell which is which. They say
they like Texas very we'll but
ike North Carolina better.
They do not expect to return
% Texas before next fall, and
they~have not fully decided Il
return at all.
