VAN GIBSON At
LAST WINS OUT
Supreme Court Decides in His
Favor and Against ].
Alfred Magoon.

BY an opinion handed down by the
supreme court yesterday afternoon
Henry Van Gieson wins his long con
tested case against J. Alfred Magoon.
The opinion is written by Chief Justice
Hartwell, but Justice Perry and Justice
De Bolt each wrote opinions of their
own, because of the fact that. while
they agreed with the chief justice on
the man point involved, they did not
agree in certain particulars, especially
in regard TO the reasonahIeness of the
attorneys fees.
The substance of the opinion IS that,
while Van Gleson wins his suit in the
main, Lorrin Andrews, his attorney,
must submit proofs of the reasonable
ness of the attorneys fees involved
To do so he must introduce expert tes-
timony by putting lawyers on the
stand.
Van Gieson sued Magoon for S62607
expended by the plaintiff for costs and
attorneys fees in the appeal to the
United States Supreme Court from a
decree in the territorial supreme court
in suit in equity brought against
him by a man named Male TO obtain
a reconveyance of certain land that
the plaintiff had bought at an execu
ton sale. Magoon represented Van
Gieson. an agreement being entered
into between them that Mago0n, in
consideration of Van Gieson S convey
ing to him a portion of the land, should
defend the suit to the court of last
resort and pay the costs.
Magoon carried the case only to the
supreme court of the Territory, where
he lost. and he refused to carry it to
the Supreme Court of the United States
The plaintiff engaged another attorney
and paid out the amount later sued for.
He lost in the United States Supreme
Court. but brought suit in the local
courts against Magoon for the amount
of money ne had expended in carrying
the ease up.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
had himself entered into the agree
ment. Magoon submitted that the
agreement was void for champerty. The
court. however. fails TO sustain this OBJ
lection. Chief Justice Hartwell says:
ssTaking into consideration, then, the
object of the agreement and its Prov
sions. we think that it required Ma
goon to conduct Van Gieson S appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States and to pay all the costs Of
court.
Magoon, it seems. advised Van Gle
son to compromise, which Van GleSon
refused to do. The court says: "Ihe
duty of any attorney to carry out an
agreement to defend ease IS not DIS
charged because his advice to com
promise is not taken.
Van Gieson paid $500 for attorney 5
services. and regarding this point the
court saws: ''Unless the sums paid for
attorney fees. amounting to $500, shall
be RENTED by the plaintiff within five
! DAYS. new trial is granted. The ex-
ceptions relating to the fees are sus-
tanned "
Justice Perry concurs in the opinion
but states his reasons more at length,
Justice De Bolt says: "With regard
to the validity of the agreement and
the attorneys fees. adopt the reason
ing of Mr.. Justice Perry. In all other
respects ( concur in the opinion Of the

PENSACOLA INTERSTATE FAIR
A SUcCESS-NOW FOR NEXT YEAR.

The Pensacola Interstate Fair is now thing of the
past but the influence of the great enterprise going
be felt for many day in all of the great region whose
people turned it, More than that the success of
the undertaking nsures its pcranency and work will be
started Immediately toward making bigger and better
Fair next year.
This fair opened peoples eyes. Town folks, who sell
dom get into the country, had idea what the sand loan
soil of West Florida and Southern Alabama would pro-
duce The Fair showed them some of the things that
be grown here Country people-those who themselves
farmers-did not all know what their brothers in ad-
joining counties doing could do The Fair showed
them what other farmers doing And it mighty
poor farmer who didn't learn something about farming that
he knew before Then there another class of
people whose eyes the Fair opened Those the people
who here from distance-and there many of
the-and who for themselves just what be done
in the Gulf Coast soil and climate.
The Fair helped everyone, not only by teaching all
of many things which did know BEFORE but by
arousing greater spirit of pride instilng greater
confidence in the possibilities of this favored section of the
great southland.
That the Fair helped Pensacola goes without saying.
brought people here and the people enjoyed themselves
and left great deal OF either trade the
or in the amusement features which with
the Fair which already existed here This money will
lall be in circulation in Pensacola this week.
The Journal congratulates the officers and directors
o the Fair Association upon the splendid of the
undertaking. We would call particular attention to the
work which General Manager R. w. Storrs did toward
making the Fair success his energy and ability
and executive judgment that really made the Fair what
was and the result demonstrates that the directors hit
upon the right man when they selected Mr. Storrs
Let US get busy for next Years Fair Let every
merchant begin plan for the float he is going to
have the trades display parade and for the exhibit he
will have at the Fair itself Let every begin
plan for the farm exhibit he will have and for the fine
stock which he expects show then We can't begin too
soon, and next years Fair cannot be good Let's

THE INLAND WATERWAYS
CONVENTION IN PENSACOLA TOMORROW.


CONVENTION IN PENSACOLA TOMORROW.
The center of interest in Pensacola this week will be
the Inland Waterways Convention. which meets in this
city for there days session and at which some
of the most distinguished waterway opponents in this
country will be present.
It ought to be unnecessary to urge Pensaeohans TO
exhibit deep interest in this convention and to attend its
sessions YET The Journal resist the impulse to
say fears the average Pensacola business man does
fully realize what the inland waterway means to him
or how much influence this convention going to have in
carrying the enterprise through.
Much as Pensacola needs another railroad The Jour-
nal frank to say that the completion of the inland water
way from the Mississippi the Atlantic and particularly
that portion of between the Mississippi river and Pensa
COLA will mean for Pensacolas development than
several new railroads would mean.
What is it that has made New Orleans and Mobile?
Il not the railroads. because New Orleans and Mobile
were important factors in the gulf long
before either of them had railroad 1t is the rivers
which they located that responsible for the develop
ment of those two cities The railroads afterwards
and helped in the development but the waterways made
the cities
It the lack of these waterways that has prevented
Pensacola from being what she ought to be to-day The
completion of the inland waterway between Pensacola and
the Mississippi will give Pensacola nearly all of the
way advantages which Mobile and New Orleans have
1t will give Pensacola the advantage of barge traffic down
the Mississippi and all of its tributaries and down the
Alabama river and all of its tributaries. will control
freight into and through Pensacola from all of the
vast territoy which those rivers drain.
All of these things coupled with the superior advan-
tages which Pensacola enjoys because of her magnificent
harbor will make Pensacola tremendous city within
years after the waterway completed In the meantime
the railroads will have come. just they
Mobile and New Orleans. -~- -=-<-- .----.----
For these and many Others The Journal hopes
the people of Pensacola will attend the sessions of the
vention this week. They all learn something by do
ing and help lend enthusiasm by their presence.

The State Committees
Last Meeting.

The meeting Of the demnclat3c state
executive committee In JacksouviIle
Friday was regularly called. and the
primary call which it issued was both
regular and legal.
The committee issued q neW call
which contained mono Of the unneces-
sary or irrelevant matter contained in
the former call, but It reafnrmed the
original selection Of dates for holding
tho primary-Jan- 10 and 81.
These dates are too early end too
close together, but now that they are
selected they viii have to stand The
people Of the state should have moro
time in which to quality for the
coming primary and in which to de-
termine who they want for United
States senator. No senator can be
elected until the legislature meets in
April anyway, aud primaries held in
February aud In March would have
suited the voters Q great deal better
than the early primaries will, and
would in addition have accomplished
the same result.
Under Q strict construction Of the
law, poll taxes will now have to be
paid by Dec. 10, which Is the second
Saturday Of the month preceding tbs
month In which the primary Is to he
held. In counties Of 10000 population
Or over. the registration books vail
have to be opened next Tuesday, Nov
Is. and kept open for four weeks. In
smaller counties, they will have to
be opened by November 20, aud KEEP,
open for four weeks. This Is all in
accordance with the state primary
law. but whether or not the law will
be strictly observed in all OF the
counties remains to be seen.
The matter Of paying the expenses
Of the primary will have to be settled
by the respective counties. All the
state committee will do will be to fur
nish the ballots. The counties viii
have to do the rest. This. it might be
said. is eminently proper. Any county
Of Florida that hasn't pride or pa
triotism or democracy enough to hole
q primary. will simply forfeit its priv
lege Of participating in the selection
OF United States senator, and Il
ought to.
Now that the primary dates are def
nitely fixed, the respective candidates
will undoubtedly get busy. The cam
paign Is on-let the best man win.
