Mundny of North Carolina, but recently of Georgia, has been preaching to crowded houses of our people since last Friday night, and it is hoped that he has done good. He has a manner unci style peculiar to himself, and speaks with treat force and energy, holding the undivided attention of his audiences from first to last. In his warfare - van on me sins 01 mo uuj> m- reno ??> ? plain truths, and makes some pointed homethrusts at those who violate the moral and divine laws. His manner of speech is somewhat different from the usual straight-laced authordox plan of assaulting the strongholds of gin, and his mode of acquiring territory In the dominions of his royal majesty in the nether world is new for these parts of the moral vineyard. On each night, however, the crowd In attendunce was larger than it was on the previous night, until last night, there was a slight falling off in tho attendance, on account, we presume, of the fact that it was known that twenty-flvo ceuts admittance fee would be charged. The crowd, though, was large last night. This lact proved that all of Abbeville was not in search oi that grace which Is absolutely free, and that they were unwilling to "dead-head" their way to the city of pearly gates and goiden streets. Mr. Mundy Is an entertaining speaker, and will always have hearers, wherever he may go. His lecture last ulght was his best effort, and full of hnmor, words of wisdom, and wholesome admonition. He seems to be an earnest worker, and we trust that his labors may result in good. ? Ralph Bingham?The Boy-Orator. Master Ralph Bingham will give an entertaihment iu the Court House next Tuesday night. From all accounts he fully deserves the above title. He comes most highly recommended by such dlstlnguisiied men as l>rs. Howard tTosby, John I'eter Newman, Prof. Murdock and a number of other leading literary men, North and South, and by such Journals as New York World, Neu.' York Herald, Albany Evening Journal, me inner 01 wmcu after hearing him has this to say: "His power is not talent?it is genius. His versatility is astonishing. He can inspire himself at will with the most fervent power of the forensic orator, and with the tearful pathos that moves the very soul. His humorous power is greater. If possible, than either of the others, but in all he is simply astonishing. * * * We would advise all who have not heard Ralph Bingham, the boy-orator, not to miss the first opportunity presented, to enjoy the treat he attords, and wlmt is more, experience the novelty of seeing at least one natural speaker and actor.'' The entertainment is given under the auspices of the young ladies of the Methodist Church of this place, and one half the proceeds are to go toward tiie completion of the new church ouilding. Refreshments will be furnished. Ice cream and cake, Contributed Items. Mr. Will Burress has settled near Antrcvllle and bids lair to do well. S. B. Knox has improved his dwelling. Dr. J. H. Bell, who has been sick, is now improving. Mr. F. M. Crowther Is now building a stone wall In front of Fort Jackson. Mr. Robert Stnrkey Is now nearly eightyfour years ot age. Mr. Sturkey found n good crop of peaches on land which had been sold for delinquent taxes. Mr. James Hodge of Midway, is dead. Decatur Morrow of Lowndesville. died last Saturday, at an advanced age. For Trial Justice. The name of Mr. Thomas P. Thomson has been suggested as a suitable person to be appointed Trial Justice In place of Calhouu, deceased. He would make a most acceptable officer. He possesses all the requisites for a first class Trial Justice, and the people will be fortunate In having so worthy a man in the office. ? Episcopal Strawberries. The ladies oj the Episcopal church will give a strawberry fete on the night of the 17th instant.

Their I large store room has been crowded almost daily for three weeks past, with the fair sex from all parts of the county. They carry an Immense stock of nothing in the world but millinery, dress goods and ladles furnishing goods generally. They spare neither labor nor time to suit their customers, and they believe in the power of printer's ink. Seethe number of specialties which they advertiseI this week. I A firm In Philadelphia has learned that there Is to be a new paper started at Abbeville. We know nothing of any such movement, but a splendid opportunity is now offered to any enterprising firm who would like to have a lucrative business in which there is necessary almost no capital, and very little labor. W. L. Miller, Esq., of Abbeville, has accepted the Invitation to deliver the anniversary address before the Laurensville Female College at the next Commencement. Mrs. Carrie Jokes, widow of the late Robert Y. Jones of Cokesbury, died at the house of Mr. G. W. Syfan last Saturday, of paralysis, at an advanced age. Miss Bessie Cothrax of Mlllway was in town one day last week, making selections from the beautiful goods to be found In our millinery stores. We expect to publish next week the history of Rocky River Presbyterian church. The Judicial Monstrosity crowded it out this week. Lucy Dericott, an old colored woman, of this village, was buried yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ahdrew Woodhcrst Is at work tak" lng pinnacles from the Episcopal church. THE ABBEVILLE RIFLES IN CHARLESTON. Their Delight at the Reception which they Received in the City?Their i. ltrni li?r MaI. dlen*. The Abbeyllle Rifles returned from Charleston on last Thursday and express themselves as having had a splendid time. They are enthusiastic In their "praise of Capt. Simeon Hyde and his company the "Sumter Guards,; to whom they were iudebted for the courtesies they received in Charleston. The Sumter Guards have a splendid armory which they own, containing reading room, billiard room dressinz room, drill room, <3kc., all complete, which was a revelation to our country boys accustomed to a single apartment with barely room to stack their guns. Although tlietrain going down was two hours late Capt. Hyde and nls company met our boys at the depot, escorted them first to their splendid armory where refreshments were served, and then escorted them to their quarters in tlieSilcox building, and on the next day, after the parade. were again luvlted to a lunch by the Sumters. The Rifles seemed to have enjoyed their stay, and are well pleased with Charleston and the Charlestonians, but especially are they ready at any and all times to give a ringing Abbeville cheer for Capt. Hyde and the Sumter Guards. Our boys were also very much pleased with Capt. Patrick and the "Greenville Guards." The two companies Joined teams at Hodges going down and from then until tliey parted atHodces coming back, the two companies fraternized and as the boys say "run together" from the first" Capt. McGowan says his company was all hecouldask. That the drill, appearance and general conduct, both off and on parade was unexceptional. Abbeville had every reason to be proud of her company while in Charleston. ?? 8T0KJES TO BE ULUHiii AT BU u UL.UU&.. I The ClerkK Will Jfow Have an Opportunity to Cultivate Their Best Girls.

Miss Ann Russell, of Abbeville, is spending a few days with her sister, Mrs. Bowie, who is quite sick. Mr. H. P. McGee and children, and Miss Minnie Elklns, attended the floral fair in Charleston last week. Mr. J. B. Bonner accompanied Rev. H. D. Lindsay to Mt. Carinel last Saturday.

Lizzie was an interesting and charming little girl about eight years of age, and her death lias caused great grief, ller remains were interred in the A. It. P, cemetery in tbe presence of a large number of sympathizing frleuds. Prof. Hood lias been confined to his bed for a week past, but at this time is about ready for his usual duties in the College. We are sorry we cannot accommodate "Dulcio," of Stoney Point. This place being larger than some other places of the same size, needs two scribes. Besides, both Coronaca and Colteabury have talent, and would no doubt furnish the news from tiiose towns if requested to do so. Now is the time to clean up your premises. Clean yards and lots aro not only conducive to health, but makes your homes look neater and more pleasant. Clean up before;the new board of health pay you a visit. Rev. Mr. Pearson has invented a portable fence, which for simplicity and cheapness cannot be excelled. It is just the thing for enclosing small plats of grass in different parts of the farm, and should be u>ed instead of the cruel rope for tielngoutfhe cattle by wliich so many valuable milch cows arekilled every year. lie will let you have a right cheap.

The sermons were just such as Dr. Sloan always preaches?clear, forcible, gospel preaching, and the attention was perfect. Ills address to the ladies of tho church in behalf of missionary work elicited much favorable comment and will be productive of much good. Tho Senior class of Ersklne College met last week and decided to have what Is known as a "class day," just before commencement. This is a day observed in almost ail large colleges by the senior class. The exercises generally consist ol a poem, an essay, a speech, and a short sketch of each member of the class, in addition to a tteneral festival on the nie.-nlc order, at which the friends of the class attend. This is the first attempt to observe a class day in Erskine, and we hope it will he successful, aful observed regularly hereafter. Our Southern colleges should endeavor to koep pace with thoscjof the North. IU*v. H. D. Lindsay occupied* the pulpit of the Baptist church last Thursday evening. His discourse was upon the fortitude of Job. The sermon was compiled with diligence of thought and in charming language. His illustrations were grand and the elocution rare. The high appreciation of the discourse was seen rrom the marked attention given by a full houso, and the unanimous expressions ot' praise. Mr. Lindsay has charge of a large congregation in Wilmington, Delaware, and is fast growing in favor. Mrs. Lindsay and child accompany him on his trip to this place. Prof. J. P. Kennedy, President' of the Due West Female College, and Mrs. K. P. Kennedy, one of the co-principals, tendered their resignations lo the board of trustcess a few days since. It is a matter of deep regret to the board, and in fact to all the friends of the institution that the ill health of Prof. Kennedy has led him to take this step, and ills hoped that an arrangement wi'l yet be made by which he will remain at the head of the institution and that Mrs. Kennedy's services will not be entirety lost to this important work. Prof. Kennedy has been connected with the institution for about twenty-five years and for the past sJx years lias been the president, with Mrs. K. P. Kennedy and Mrs. L. M. Bonner as co-principals. The management has been entirely harmonious, and the col lene never before gave promise of so great usefulness. Mr. C. P. Wilson, a popular student in Ers kino ( ollege, and a friend 01 ours, received a nice box from home recently, and in ono of the pockets of his new spring suit was a beautiful gold watch, a present froni his mother. Happy boy to have such a mother. May the bright and jewelled face of that watch ever be a constant reminder of that face which will be ever lit up with bright hopes and fond anticipations of what she expects in the future of her absent boy. And may the regularity of the stroke that numbers each passing moment remind birn that time is rapidly passing, and now is the time for him to lay well that foundation of both head and heart that will enable him to ride triumphantly the sea of life, and in the end reach the haven of rest?the pride of lond parents and an ornament to socleSy and the world. 15.

We are told by our farmer friends that the grain crops, especially oats are being seriously damaged by the dry weather. Farmers are about done planting. Mr. J. K. U. Dunn lias lost his flno milk row. Several young men are receiving lace scaled In an envelope. We do no not know what for, but we all presume something. All of our young mcu say that they are coming to church the third Sunday lu* May with a slick lip. One of our young men goes courting. lie tells his giul if she don't say "yes," it will be I death at heart. Colonel and his little brother went fishing. He says his little brother caught three little minnows and a cat. Mr. M. C. Ashley lclckcd his cow last week and broke his big toe. Cal ought to know j better than to kick a eow since the stock law. Mr. It. L. Clamp's spirit spinner is weaving! away, and lie is now sitting watcli i.t the spring to kill a big frog. Mr. J. N. Ashley has finished planting his bottom corn, and has buried a brace and bit for it to bore its way through the clods. Fuller onys that he Is glad old Knoch Is married, he will get to go to see his old sweetheart now. Seersucker coats! seorsucker coats! at 1*. Rosenberg <$c Co'?. 5-1 PRESERVED MULBERRIES. j An Intprostiii; Letter Which ('nine too I.iitc to l?e Published I,n*t Week. Mui.BKP.nY, April 20,18S7. Though some of our farmers have been a little uneasy In regard to the present crops on | account of the continued dry weather, and each growing as serious and solemn as an old hat band on collection day, they are now very | hopeful and clieerlul for we have been favored with a delightful rain which causes an unusual amount of gush and glee over the prospects for a splendid crop year, and several of the hoys are wearing smiles as if they had dimples in their upper gums, and humming to themselves something about the "Silver lining," and stilling their sad hearts, &c. They grow "nioDstrous" sympathetic at times and proffer advice, itc., and believe in the old maxim,"If misfortunes overtake you, smile." I told iny friend that that was all well enough, I believed somewhat, that way myself, though it was terrible inconvenient at times, in these days of prohibition. This good feeling spoken of seems contagcous. The "merry warbling birds" are holding their free concerts amid our lovely groves ?the flowers are bloomingand thealr Is redolent with delightful aroma, and is burdened with the laughter of happy children and hopeful parents, as it comes creeping through our "lilstcd winder" with coolness in its wings. Our people have been pressing along with their work and the majority are through planting. The wheat, and oat crop have not worn a promising look heretofore, but now look much refreshed and have taken a new hold on lifo. The bottom lands of this section me in a lartre measure being put In cultlva tion and are in better condition tnan tor years, and if seasons aro favorable nn abundance of corn will be made. Our people are doing more and harder work on the same acreage than ever before and are working with strict economy, which means big returns. witii ordinary seasons. Our County Commissioners are a little remiss in their duly in not having the water courses cleared of all obstructions?a work of great importance, not only as an agricultural necessity, but as a sanitary measure. There was an accidental shooting affair in our neighborhood some days ago which resulted in the death of a negro lad. Our railroad is progressing rapidly?the grading will soon be completed, and our community will then have the advantages of a depot near at hand. The bridge across Turkey creek, built by R. IX Uoyd & Co. is completed, and considered the best structure of the kind that has ever been placed there. Our people believe in taking a little pleasure too, as wo journey along. Several were present at the entertainment given at Cokesbury some evenings since by the young men and ladies which proved to be a very enjoyable affair. Tlie lamps continued to shine over "bravo men and fair women" until the "wee sma' hours," when each one sought his bunk to dream of sweethearts and chewing gum. (We hope that the girls didn't looso entire control of their tongues and jaws.) Such pleasant evenings prove oases In the desert of every farmer's lire, especially at this time of the year, aud one therefore the more enjoyable. The fair sex have begun to air themselves in their summer goods and look petite aud nice and loveable. Gardens are looking well, and soon we'll revel and luxuriate in an abundance of fresh potatoes and beans and other garden truck. We'll hope to fatten and thrive then, for my chum says a change must come?if I don't mend soon, I'll become invisible. MERRY. OLD TABERNACLES HONORED GRAVES. Major Zeffflcr Utters a Beautiful Sentiment, Which Will .Meet With a Hearty Kesponse. Abbeville, S. C., May 3,18S7. Edilor Pros* and Banner: Truly glad am I and mine, of tho Christian suggestion of that great and good man, Hon. F.A.Connor, concerning the sacred ground of old Tabernacle, near Cokesbury. Never clustered together nobler characters than rest there; never a country had better martyrs, both for tho cause of Christ and of humanity than those who rest there. True and faithful patriots, who risked life, property and all in the grandest struggle In which a people ever engaged rest In that sacrci enclosure, and the sweet little children, who are now basking in the glorious sunshine of their sainted mothers and grandparents were tiere laid within a few feet of each other. With mingled sorrow and pleasure we dream of this beautiful panorama encirelin* our dear tfies above, hut towering above all the beacon lights appear in the grand statues the holy personages, tho captains of the heavenly hosts, who regardless of consequences, unsheathed the sword, stood upon the ramparts, and proclaimed the truths of the Bible from the sacred altar. The ashes of many of this class aro there, while their spirits are with Uod in heaven. Let us all assemble on the 10th Instant, clear of!', beautify, decorate ana organize, umi in the future old Tabernacle cemetery will show that our loved ones though dead, still live in our heart*.

The much-wished-for warm weather lias come at last. Fine showers of rain fell here last week, but owing to the high winds which we have had since, rain is again needed. Miss Pauline Arthur, of Union, spent last week with the Misses Swygort. She is an attractive and accomplished lady, and her visit here will not soon be forgotton by those who I met her. Rev. J. A. Mundy left for Abbevillo last Thursday. During his stay here he preached ten or more sermons which were listened to by numerous congregations. In his sermons ho in simple, bold, and sometimes sarcastic, denouncing hypocrisy, drunkctiess and other sins in the most cutting words. To bar-keepers and druggists he shows no mercy. Dr. W. P. Barratt and Mr. John C. Chiles left for Augusta yesterday. They will probably return to-day. Rev. A. Coke Smith, of Spartanburg, will preach in the Methodist church next Sunday morning and evening. We hope these Ber'vices will be well attended by all who can do so. Three persons were received Into the Baptist church last night at the close of the usual evening service. Miss Ella Watson after spending the winter with relatives in Effingham, returned last Saturday. Miss Fannie McKellar Is visiting in Troy. Mr. T. J. Hearst gave several very valuable books to the public library last week. He knows how to give good gifts, and his generOBltv is certainly commendable. Mre. L.N.

Greenwood's representatives at the unveiling ceremonies in Charleston last week say they had a gay, pleasant time, but not one can tell us anything about Secretary Lamar's speech, as they were unable to get near enough to hear anything that he said. The schedule of the mall trains ou the Port Royal and Western Carolina read will be changed soon. After the change they will stop here for din ner. Dr. ,T. A. Marshall, of Florida is now here making arrangements for building on the lot which he bought from Dr. M. C. Taggart last winter. He will move to this place as soon as the dwelling is completed. On last Friday a warrant was issued by Judgo Blake for the arrest of Anthony Wray, aflldavlL having been made by JelF Rampley that un ox belonging to blm had been stolen and that he believed Wray was the thief. In a short timo Constable Bell brought Him in. He had but one leg and was as black as the blackest pitch. It being impossible to close the examination on Friday the prisoner was placed in the town calaboose from which he escaped during the night. How he managed to get away is a mystery, his wooden leg having been taken off when lie took ills huiried departure. This is another example of the utter Incompetency of the negro to stcnl a cow, horse or anything larger than a chicken and conceal his crime successfully. Capt. Jno. W. Clark, of Augusta is in town. The stores are all closed and the town has a Sunday appearance. Almost all of the young people Joined the picnic party and went to n favorite resort about two miles from town, near the homo of Mr. Frank Arnold. All anticipated a day of pleasant recreation. T. A. Bullock's Art Exhibition did not arrive last Monday as billed and nothing haf. been heard from it since. Mrs. N. Anderson died here yesterday afternoon in her fifty-ninth yeur, after a sicknesc. of several monthu. She will be buried fit Tranquil church. The last, meeting of the Division Rons of Temperance was a very interesting one, and if every member will try to attend regularly overy meeting and do all possible to make them attractive, our Division will soon be second to none in activity and usefulness. Mrs. S. E. Parks is visiting relatives In Edgefield. MAC. If tlie Courts Will Enforce the I.nn Tlierc Wilt be 110 Need for Prisoners to Shoot Lynchers. I Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer.] Our friend of the Abbeville Press and Banner in his issue of the 20th inst., advocates the arming with repeating rifles of those prisoners in Jails whose lives arc threatened by lynchers, so that they may defend themselves with some effectiveness. This is suggested as a remedy. In tills we cannot coincide. We hope that the administration of the law will in the future be so improved, particularly in reference to those charged with great crimes, that lynching wilj not' only be checked but will cease altogether. The recent lynching of five negroes in York county has thoroughly aroused the thinking men of the State ol the danger of impending mob law, and we hope they will not only continue to think of the tendency that that lawless act Is indicative of, but will bring their influence to bear upon those who minister in our Courts of Justice as will securo a more Just punishment of redhanded murderers. If the Courts will deal out justice surely and speedily there will never be a need of placing rifles fin the hands of murderers and outlaws confined in prison cells. KEEP OFF MY LAND. Without Cont ent of the Owners of the Land, Hunters, Fishers, nnd ProwlerN, are Tresspassers. The owners of land arc often annoyed by Irresponsible people hunting and tishing on their premises. Last Winter many persons posted their lands. A lawyer has called our attention to the General Statutes, Section 10S9 which reads as follows: "If any person shall hunt or range on any lands whatsoever, without the consent of the proprietor, every person so offending shall forfeit and pay tho sum often dollars for every such offense." This settles tho whole matter. There is no need of posting lands. The mart who hunt* fishes or ranges about on lands of another without permission, is a tresspasser.

HIGH SALARIES OP. LOW SALARIES. Common Sense Talk ami Unnnsncral?lc Ar^iimcnlN in Favor of Low Salaries?Some Solid Facts for Ylioui;Iit. Newberry Observer. A certain amount from the school fund is available every yoar for the teacher of a public school. This amount is not increased or diminished by increasing or diminishing the teacher's monthly salary. | Suppose this amount is ?120. Can't our cotemporary soo that if the teacher is paid $40 a month from the school fund the amount will last only three months, whereas if he is paid ?20 a month it will last six months? So that tho matter is narrowed down to the plain question. Is it better to pay the teacher a higher vnlitrv frnm tlm nublic fund and therebv shorten the school term, or to pay him a smaller salary and lengthen the term? Wet insist that the latter alternative is the better. And in advocating this view, so far i'rom manifesting "prejudice against tho cause of popular education," and so far from dcsiriug that any "child in the State shall grow up in ignorance because of the poverty of its parents," wo are advocating a plau that would help the cause of popular education, and would secure advantages to poor children that arc now denied them. Let us illustrate: Tho News and Courier insist on a high salary (relatively speaking) per monthsav ?40. The Observer insist 011 a low salary?say ?20. Iftheamount available for tho teacher, for the year, from the public fund, is ?120, theschool would continue open as a public school three months under the Nctos and Courier's plan, and six months under the Observer's plan. Under the News and courier's plan some children would have to leave the school at the end of three months "because of the poverty of their parents," while under the Observer's plan they could go for six months. There is another important distinction: The Observer's plan is in accordance with the Stato Constitution, while tho News and Courier's is not. This is apparent from the reading of the following provisions of tho constitution, under the i head of "Education": Art. X. Sec. 3.?There shall be kept open at least six months in each year one or more schools in cacli acool district. Art. X, Sec. 10.?All the public scools * * * * supported in whole or in part by the public funds shall be free and open to all the children and youths of the State, etc. It seems to us that the school boards are constitutionally bound to keep the schools open six months in each year. The only way to do this is to divide the school info cjIy nnrta Tho cnlorv nf n teacher then, per month, would be onesixth of the total amount available for his school for the year. If this amount is ?120, his salary?so lar as the public school funds are concerned?would be 820 per month. And the board not only have the right in such case to say it shall not be more, but the Constitution makes it their plain duty to say so. There should be a school open in each school district at least six months in each year, from which school no child should be excluded "because of the poverty of its parents." To accomplish this the school board is compelled to allow a small salary per month to the teacher. Suppose this salary per month is only ?20. Nobody is compelled to teach for $20 a month ; but the schools must have teachers. The patrons of tho school, or those who are able, can supplement this $20, and get a good teacher. They can get a 40-dollar-a-month teacher, if they wish? the State paying ?20, and the patrons ?20; and the school would be open six months in the year to all the childx-eh and youths of the community, as the Constitution prescribes. The News and Courier says: "What It [The Observer] desires, apparently, Is that all the people shall contribute to the school fund, in part, leaving to some of the people to 'supplement that fund, in order to keep the schools golugfor a full term,' Our cotempurary fails, however, to show the justice ol this proposed arrangement, and we confess our inability to supply its omission. Precisely so; that is just what wo desire. An to tho "justice" ofthis arrangement. every ono must see that to deny its justice is to deny the justice of the free school system entirely; for the froe school system compels some?those who have property?to pay for the schooling \ of others?those who have none. Indeed, j that is the basal idea of the free school system, and its ration d'etre. If every| body were able to pay for the schooling of his children there would be no reason for the free schools. Some of the people must supplement the school fund, in order to secure a full school term, for the simple reason that the school fund is insufficient to secure it. wo both agree on that point?indeed there is 110 alternative. But the difference between us is, that the Observer thinks this supplement fund should bo distributed over a full school term, while the News | and Courier contends it should be used after the public fund is exhausted. The practical results of the two proposed arrangements is that the Observer's plan would not compel any child in the State "to grow up in ignorance because of the poverty of its parents," while the News and Courier's would ; or, rather, the Observer's plan would give such child six mont hs of schooling in each year, while the News and Courier's plan would give !f Anlv fhrno. Whether one man should nay for the schooling of another man's child, is not a practical question under our State Constitution. The Constitution says he shall; and he docs. Docs the News and Courier say this is not just? Then let it adovocate an amendment to tho Constitution and tho abolition of the free school system. But as long as we have the system wo should make it as eflicient as possible in the accomplishment of the purposo for which it was established ; and tho school boards should obey the Constitution. Then the free schools would remain open "at least six months in eacli year," and "no child in the .State would bo compelled to grow up in ignorance bocause of the poverty of its parents." Married Women's Contracts. Columbia Record. Tho decision of tho Supreme Court, touching the liability of a married woman upon her obligation secured by a mortgage of her separate property, has perhaps startled tho legal profession and business men generally as much as any conclusion that has yet come from tha; tribunal. It is hard for tho unprofessional mind to understand how a person may hold property and may mortgage it to .secure a debt contracted for tho benolit of the property, and yet bo disabled from mortgaging it for any other debt. The right to mortgage property would generally seem but an incident of the right to possess it?as much so as the riuht to sell it. In the present stato of the law, some difliculties may arise in determining how far tho debts evidenced by mortgages mado by married women u-avo h:ul reference to the separate estate so as to bind thatestate. In a great number of instances married women bave executed mortgages to secure loans of money in fact used by their husbands in the usual course of business. It would seem, from the recent .judgment of the Supreme Court, that such mortgages Jare not binding. It this be the caso, a great number of transactions involving theseparato property of married women will result in clear loss to the lender or other inorlguye creditor. The hardship of this result upon the creditor class is manifest. II. will overturn many transactions made in good faith, and in the honest belief that the security givon by the married woman was quite asgood as if given by a man or a maiden. A decision more calculated to unsettle business and destroy rights seemingly vested has not j'et emanated from any Court in South Carolina. An unfortunate feature of the decision is that it proceeds from a divided CourtMr. Justice McGowan concurring in the views of Judge Hudson, who hold the married woman's mortgage to bo valid. Tt happens that Judgo Hudson is perhaps the ablest of tho Circuit Judges, while Mr. Justico McGowan is quite the peer of either of bis brethren on the Supreme bench. In this state of opinion among these four Judges, we may not be surprised to find that among lawyers also 1 tfiere will bo equally wide difference. Most persons who have lent money upon mortgages made by married women have doubtless done so under advice | from some good lawer. That lawer may well point to the concurence of jurists like Hudson and AIcGowan as indicating that the majority of the Supremo Court have 1 strained a point in order to secure a married woman in the enjoyment of her separate property and protect her from tne misfortune or the mismanagement of her husband.
