Young and energetic, i practical, progressive, and successful e farmer, we feel that he is best litted to v represent the.interests of the masses of the people, who are farmers like himself. Then, too, we feel that our section of the t county is entitled to one of our represent- t atives. We therefore nominate Mr. a Malcolm N. Rice, and trust that he will t consent to make the race. Voters. t * Aii Interesting Decision. We publish below the text of decision of the State Supreme Court in a case from 1 j this count}\ which will be read with in- ^ terest: F. P. Sense et al., appellant, v. Esther i C. and W. E. Sease, appellants, and J. M. t Dannelly, as assignee of F. M. Bamberg, "v respondent. t This is an action brought (inter alia) f for the partition of certain real estate t described in a deed made by John D. s Sease to Esther C. Sease, whereby the fl grantor, in consideration of $2,500, did f 'grant, bargain, sell and release unto the e -aid Esther C. Sease and her children (the " premises in question). To have and to a mid all and singular the said tract of land ii ;ogetlier with all and singular the rights, d nembers, hereditaments and appurten- tl tnces thereunto belonging or in any wise a ncidtnt or appertaining unto the said a Esther C. Sease and her children, her c leirs and assigns, with a reserve to her tl msbaud W. E. Sease his natural lifetime v jut not subject to his contracts or debts, a >r those of any other husband which she il nay hereafter marry. And I do hereby t< )iud myself, my heirs, executors, ad- tl ninistrators, and assigns, to warrant and e brever defend all and singular the said ri premises unto the said Esther C. Sease 15 tnd her children from and against the e awful claims or demands of any person h >r persons from claiming the same or h iny part thereof." ii The circuit court (Judge Benet) held P hat the defendant Esther C. Sease is the s< >wner of the whole of the premises de- h icribed in the complaint in fee condition- P d after birth of issue, and from the de- c< :ree embodying this conclusion the a larties thereby affected appealed. tl It was unquestionably the intention of f< he grantor to dispose of the fee in the ft . >? >/! tlio nnccihilitv f.f n rftVPrsiflll- tc ry interest therein to himself; for he P isecl the words "heirs and assigns." It is impossible to construe the deed so ,s to give force and effect to all its parts, M vithout changing the phraseology in ct ome respects. P^ The construction adopted by the circuit udge?taking "children" as the eqaiva- Si Dnt of "heirs of the body"?renders pos- w ible a reversion to the grantor in case isther C. Sease should die without dis- tL losing of the land and without leaving S] iving heirs of her body, whereas it is ft lear that the grantor intended to convey eI lie entire fee without such possibility of "t everter. dt If the word "children" is construed to cc lean "heirs of the body" the deed would hen contain repugnant and inconsistent rords of limitation?the words "heirs of ty he body" being words of limitation and th ^consistent with the words "heirs and M ssigus" which are likewise words of n< imitation. sc The interpretation placed upon the eed by the circuit judge not only fr hanges the word "children" into "heirs te f the body," but, after this is done, lakes inoperative and ineffectual the ti mivtc-"hpirs and assigns"?a conclusion ' V*MW O equiring a line of reasoning which was w videntlv not in the mind of the grantor, in If by construing a word to be intended >r another word, effect can then be given 3 every part of the deed, that construcion will be preferred to one which not nly changes the meaning of a word but q kewise refuses to give any force and ^ fleet whatever to certain other words of ^ le deed?which effect can be accomplish- 7" i by construing the word "heir" to be f ( itended for "their." That this is a proper construction is , lauifest from the fact that the grantor 2, ridently intended to convey some inter>t to the children of Esther C. Sease as . ley are mentioned in the deed three m'es; and the fact that the grantor reirved a life estate to W. E. Sease, the , usband of Esther C. Sease, shows that e did not.intend that thechildreu should tke a life estate. * By construing "children" in its com- , ion and ordinary acceptation as a word f purchase the children would take as fnants in common with Esther C. ease?and this is the only construction j . lat will give effect to every portion of 1 le deed. In the case of Keith v. Perry, 1 DeS. ? 51, the court construed "her" into P :heir" in order to give effect to the in ntion of the testator. ! The question of estoppel, submitted, n proper notice, by the respondent was ot considered by the circuit judge. **.c Judgment below reversed and the ise remanded. Opinion by Mr. Justice , ary.

We trust he has gone to that better land, "where beyond these voices, there is peace." The graded school teachers: Misses . Southard, Reaves, Nance, Leland, Leach, ' and Tinsley have returned to their homes. r They did excellent work while here, and | should receive "well doue" from the patrons. Hubert M.

Hartzog Happenings. Hartzog, June 9.?We are glad to say = that two of our young ladies have returned from school again: Miss Lizzie Hunter arrived last Thursday and Miss Maud Raysor arrived Saturday.

May he be a successful worker, and make an example for our many young men. If anything in the likeness of a League can help our church we hope that it will be worked to a great advantage, as the people, not the church, needs a good reminding of what is important in present life. Mr. J. H. A. Carter and Mrs. Biddie Fliers visited friends in our midst yester3 ay. It seems as if the summer showers have started now. They fall daily, and in a few days, if they continue the same, 'General Green" will wave his green flag iver the many fields which are so fine low, but farmers, we do not plow to kill *rass. The warm weather has checked our ;iuging notion. It is hard work to fan ?nd sing, hut we ought not to give up. 'If at first we don't succeed, try again jutil we do." We may sing near the close )f day when the lamp may be lighted and ill may see to sing so their melodious roices may strike where lamp light does lot. Blackberries and the "huckles" have iut their black and blue to the surface, md the Misses have started on their 'berry strolls." .Our ball practice was broken up by the shower in its most exciting period Saturlay afternoon. "Good eye," boys, "pracice makes perfect." Some of our farmers are putting their ast furrows iu the corn fields, while )thers are still crossing the ridge. We soon expect to see the candidates _ m their pleasant way, but all that travel 11 the Hartzog sectiou will be men from ^ ither neighborhoods or from towns. Our nen are each for number one and politics J ind this will not work together, as it is aid "it has been tried." J. W. R. Union Meetings, June 28th, 29th H Queries: 1.

After the killing of Jim Black, the Sheriff of Colleton :ounty had fears that Ford would be lynched also, so he had his deputies take the negro from jail and start for Columbia, iriving through the country by way of Oeorges. They had not gotten far from I Walterboro when they were over powered ft by a mob and the negro taken from them. | fh;s crowd it seems, after attempting to ? make the negro confess, tied him to a tree and left him where he was found by the deputies. They again started on their way with the prisoner and a second timo ho was taken from them. This time Ford was tied to a. tree and riddled with bullets.
