damages.

February. 1905, Jury awarded Son
dergard $1,000 damages. Motion for
new trial was sustained and at the
second hearing the plaintiff received
judgment for S2,001. Martin appeal

remanded for rehearing.
The case was on the assignment for

Caldwelis message follows:
Governor Blease:
Thinking it my duty in the circum-
stances to do so, 1 respectfully decline

fully today"
Governor Blease said on receipt of
Major Caldwel's telegram that he
would designate Circuit Judge r. c..
Watts. of Cheraw, to hold the Rich

for next week but both of them are
very busy politically, as candidates for
the Fifth Justiceship Of the Supreme
Court. the election for which will
likely be held next week.
