noble.
GAS between the Ku Klux Klan
and the Knights Of Columbus this
country has less to- fear from the for
mer. We believe that the United
States has in it nothing more UNI
American than the secret political
religious organization that is now try
ing to use the law to break down the
Khan which evidently it breads.
"But after all, we may well ask
is a secret organization, whether
Protestant or Catholic, the proper
instrument with which to deal with
political and religious questions??"

DeVore Obtains Har
monious Settlement.

Judge DeVore obtains f1af
monious Settlement.
Kingstree, Dec. 13.-The fall term
of the court which convened here
Monday and adjourned late Friday
was n of the most interesting ses.
sions of civil court held in this county
in many years, made so by the very
nature of the cases tried and the
prominence of the litigants involved
in the several actions.
Judge j. W. Devore of Edgefe cid
presided during the term, and more
than ever before he endeared himself
to the members of the bar, the jurors
and the people of the county Friday
afternoon when through his timely
and kindly admonition n of the
knottiest cases ever tried in this
court was amicably settled to the sat
isfaction of the contestants and coun-
sci on both sides.
The Ease was that of Mrs. Lillian
Brown against Sallie E. Davis, and
others for the recovery of the estate
left by the plaintiffs father, the late
George W. Davis. In 1877, as shown
by the evidence in the case, George
w. Davis married Miss Amanda Han
ma. Six months later Mr.. Davis re-
turned his bride to her mother and
left her. In October of 1877 the
plaintiff in this action was born and
grew into womanhood. In the mean
time, seven years after her birth, her
mother, Mrs. Davis, left Williams
burg county and went to Florida, TAX
ing up a permanent abode in that
state and in 1884 remarked there.
About the same time Davis went into
Georgetown county and married a
daughter of the late Capt. Henry Nc
Donald, with whom he lived happily
until his death in 1915. There were
born to this union nine childr en-, the
seven surviving ones being defend
ants, with their mother, in this suit.
Testimony was adduced to prove be-
yond a doubt the marriage OF MI.
Davis to the mother of the plaintiff.
1t was not proven that there had ever
been a divorce obtained by Mr.. Davis
outside this state and hence the ac-
ton by the plaintiff, Mrs. Brown, to
recover her fathers estate on the
ground that she was the rightful heir.
Captain Davis was a prominent cit
izen of the county and served one or
more terms in the state legislature,
also for 1s or 20 years had served
his district as magistrate. There is a
large family connection on both sides
and compose the best people in this
section of the state. The %preponder-
ance Of evidence was clearly in favor
of the plaintiff according to the law
of the state, but for the sake Of fam
lily harmony and for the respect OF
his friend, with whom ne had served
in the legislature, Judge DeVore pre-
ferred to see the contention between
the heirs of George w. Davis settled
outside of the jury room, and as soon
as the evidence was all in he called
the parties at interest with their
counsel, into his private chamber and
there did what no one else had been
able to bring about-an amlcaole'
satisfactory settlement. which gave to
the palintif one-half interest in her
fathers estate. A verdict was drawn
and signed by the foreman of the jury
heartily concurred in by the IL other
members. Judge DeVore was warmly
congratulated upon his accomplish
ment by counsel on both sides and by
members of the jury.
