...Cash-Shannon duel still bothers South Carolinians who "hold honor dearer than life." Col. Ellerbe Boggan Crawford Cash's wife held a judgment against her brother's property. A client of Col. William M. Shannon and Capt. William L. DePass held a junior judgment and contested the sale of the property to satisty Mrs Cash's claim. The legal basis of the contest was a charge of fraud between Mrs. Cash and her brother...
...names in print, began to observe a new slogan on the little colored slips to which each clipping is pasted. It read: "Be Sure It's Henry. Other Romeikes May Disappoint."

Big accounts pay $500 to $600 a month. Occasionally a client keeps his name on the books for years without receiving a clipping.
