The Death of a Brave Old Veteran and Oood ('if i/en. The Advertiser could only give last week the bare statement that Mr. Sing Owings was dead but the loss of such a man to his community and the county deserves more than passing no tice. Mr. A. Sing.OtOQ Owings was in his "1st year and had lived ml his life near Power. H is father was Richard Owings and his grand-father, Archibald Ow ings,the family beinj; among the sturdy and brave pioneers that first came to Laurens County. Mr. Owings is survived by one daugh ter. Miss Delhi. His wife passed away 12 or 15 years ago. He was a -daring, gallant soldier of tho Confederacy, always ready for hard and faithful service. Ho served with Co. O. of the Third South Carolina.? the Briars. At Sharpsburg ho re ceived a wound. He was one of the company's sergeants and through the great struggle ho was an honor to his county and to his com mand. During the last two years of the war he was in charge of the Am bulance Corps of the regiment, an ofllcc that required him to go often into the thick of battle to cure for the wounded and dying. In civil life Mr. Owings was a mod est, upright and useful man who could always be relied ution to meet his ob ligations and do his duty. He was buried Thursday at New Harmony Church, tho masons of Wal lace Lodge,of which he was a member, conducting the services. Mr. Owings had been in failing health for some time and his death was ex pected but the regret that Laurens has lost this strong, good, faithful citizen is none tho less deep.

Greenville Law Suit With a Laurens End To It. DcrendanPs Victory in Moore vs. Scott a Victory also for Her. Mr. Estes and Mr. Dial -InterestingCase. The defendant has won the suit of S. L. Moore vs. James Scott in Green ville. Below will be found a dispatch takon from the State about it. The case is of interest hero because similar suits have been brought by Mr. Moore against Rev. Mr. Estes, present owner of the old Qarrett place in South Har per Street and N. B. Dial, who owns six aores formerly of tho Garrett fdace. This property formerly bo onged to tho late Hewlett S. Moore. Tho result in Greenville is in effeot a victory for Messrs. E9tes abd Dial. As tho facts aro identical in the two cases, it is probable that the Laurens cases will not be tried, at least until tho Greenville case is ended finally. Tho latter may go to the Supreme Court. The State's dispatch says : "In tho case of Samuel L. Mooro against James Scott, Judge Gary di rected a verdict for the defendaut for the land In dispute. This track had been conveyed to Thos. J. Sullivan as trustee for Howlet Sullivan Moore, for lifo and afterwards for his children. II. S. Moore got in'o debt and his cred itors brought an action in Laurens dis trict to subject his interest in these lauds to suoh debts. Tho trustee, Sul livan, was mado a party to this pro coedlrjg, and so w.as tho life-tenant, Howlet S. Moore; but the latter's son, three years old, Samuel L. Moore, was not made a party for tho roason that the creditors only expected to sell the interest of the life-tenant. The court of equity decreed the sale of the life cstato. 'Tho court of appealslremanded tho case for tho purpose, among other things of determining whether it would bo better to soil tho entire fee. The court of equity decided that It would be best to sell the whole, fee, because the life intorest being uncertain would not bring a good price. On appeal this de cree was aflirmed. Tho present plaintiff sues upon tho ground that he is not bound by the decree of the Laurens court, not having boon made a party to that proceeding. There being practically no facts in dis pute, and tho whole case depending on a quest'on of law, Judge Gary directed the vordict for tho defendant, upon the ground that the ori^nal trust deed gave tho trustee tho foo In the land, and also the power to soil ir, with the con sent of the life-tenant. Both the trus teo and the life-tenant were made par ties to the proceeding before tho court of equity for Laurens district; if tho infant had been made a party, his pro test would havo been unavailing, inas much as the sale of the land by the trnsteo did not depend upon the decree of the court, but upon the power given to the trut-tee in the original deed. If tho foe in the land had been limited to vest in the infant immediately upon his father's death ho would havo been a necessary party to the action; but as the fee was to bo continued in the trustee after that time, for other pur poses, the whole matter was in the hands of the court, and Its decree, with out making tho infant a party, could dispose of tho land absolutely."
