the trustees in not accepting the resignation;
and that there was considerable
drunkness and rowdyism among the boys, f

A Nomination.
Editor The Bamberg Hetiai.d:? 0
There have been some suggestions of s
candidates for the House of Representa- !3
tives, and it is our desire to nominate a 1:
gentleman who would represent our county
ably and well. 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

ise remanded. Opinion by Mr. Justice ,

Olar. June 7.?The teachers, pupils,
)arents and friends of our Sunday-school
net at the church yesterday for the pur>ose
of giving the little ones a day of euoyment
in the way of a picnic, and right
oyally was it done. After assembling in
he church the festivities were opened
vith reading a few verses from Proverbs
>y Rev. S. P. Chisolm, followed with
>ra3*er by Mr. Wiilie Still, after which
he choir treated the congregation to
ome excellent instrumental and vocal
ausic. This was followed by an address
rom Mr. Chisolm, which was a splendid
ffort in the way of a Sunday-school
talk," filled with wise thoughts and good
dvice to the children and congregation j
a general, interspersed with witty anec-!
otes, for which he is so famous. One 1
bought especially struck us, i. e., there
re no really happy homes in which there
re no children; indeed childhood and
kildren might be said to have been the
heme of his most excellent discourse,
,'hick was instructive, entertaining,
musing and pathetic, the like of which
; has not been our good fortune to listen
> recentl}'. During his address he hit
he ball-room some hard licks, placing it
ven worse than the bar-room in its fareacking
evil effects. We had quite a
beral sprinkling of candidates, a most
xcellent dinner, and other refreshments
1 plenty and to spare. Wish you could
ave been with us, Mr. Editor, for it was
ideed the most enjoj'able little social
icnic we have ever attended here. After
2veral hours of social enjoyment everyody
left for home, voting the day a comlete
success. What a pity it is that we
juld not have more days like this. It is
break in the routine of every-day work
lat is good for all, leaving us fresher and
rigkter to take up the work that lies be>re
us; and more, it gives us a kindlier

'If at first we don't succeed, try again
jutil we do." We may sing near the close

Cain Ford, a negro who was confined
in jail at Walterboro, charged with being h
concerned in the murder of Mrs. Jones, ^
ivfls taken from the denuties last Friday
night and shot to death. 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.
