THE DARLINGTON NEWS.
THn^IiAV, JAN. 19, lbs8.
HENRY T. THOMPSON,
EDITOR-*
PROSPEKOUS DARLIKOTOS.
The pro8i>erity of ^tbe town of
Darlington is daily increasing, and
during the present winter which has
been aunsnally brisk and lively all
over the State, its greatly improv
ed trade has been marked. From
the very opening of the season, our
merchants have bad their hands
foil, and, day after day, it wae all
they could do to wait on their custo.
mere. No class of citizens is better
able to judge of the relative pros-
perity of the different towns in the
State than commercial travellers,
and it is becoming a common thing
to bear the most intelligent ot these
naturally observant gentlemen re
mark that Dariington docs more
basiness than any town of its size in
Souih Carolina. Under all these
circumstances, jwe cannot help teel-
ing prood of old Darlington, sup
ported as such siatemouts are by
indisputable pioof; and fe« ling as (-uut', and c^re and pains in ex press
Judge Hudson's Decree in the Charles*
Byrd Case
The argument iu this case, which
has aroused so much public iu
terest, was m «dc be'ore Judge Hud
so.i, in Chambers, at Bennettsville
last week. Messrs. W. F. Daigau
and B. W. Boyd appeared for Mrs.
Charles au l Messrs. Nettles & Net
tles for Mrs. Bird. On Monday
last, the Judge forwarded to the
Clerk of the Court the following
decree:
Uuder a writ of certiorari the
foregoing record has been certified
up to me, that 1 may review the
same and cornet the errors of law
complained of by the administra
trix oi a deceased tenant.
So folly does the record set forth
the evidence, and so clearly does
the Trial Justice present the issues
raised ami bis judgment thereon,
that it is unnecessary that 1 should
repeat and re-.tate the same in or
der to render this judgment intelli
gible
The parties iuteres'ed are of high
standing, and the issues have been
argued with more than ordinary
care, zeal and learning. Owing to
the comparative i ovelly ot the
question and its recognized impor
tance, I would be pleased to devote
lim. to the consideration of the
we do, we must be forgiven if we are-
filled with a desire to encourage
good citizens to settle in wha'. we
sines rely believe to be the best town
in the State, by furnishing, them
with all the information iu our (low
er.
Our cotton trade during the past
season has been something almost
cuprecedeuied. The streets and
platforms have been literally lined
with the staple, and it was all the
railroads could do to carry it away*
Up to this date, including that pur
chased by the factory, no less than
17,3G9 bales have beeu received at
this market;so it is reasonable to
estimate that the total uumber will
reach 19,000 by the close of the sea-
eon. Thus it will be seen that the
receipts fer this year will be greater
by twenty per ceut than they Lave
ever beeu heretoforu; ami that dur
ing the past eight years the increase
has been exactly one-hundred per
oeut. The railroad business along
the whole line of the (Jherawaw &
Darlington Bailroad has Improved
during the past few years, both iu
the matter of passengers and
frieight, and trains of both kinds
which pass Darlington are crowded
daily. The most casual observer
traveling along the 1 ne of road can
not fail to notice that the busiutss
at Darlington has increased more
than at any other station. So large
is the number of passengers aud
the amount ot mail, freight aud ex'
press taken off and on at this point,
that the trains are always compelled
to stop here double their usual time*
The amount ot freight received has
increased from year to year in just
about the sa me proportion as the
nmoout of cotton which we have
went off, until, according to the very
beat authority, this is the most im.
portant freight depot along the l|ne
of road. Since 1880 the express
busiuess has been doubled while the
increase in the maiis during that
time has been simply enoi mous.
One who has uot observed it for
himself could not begin to realize
the amount of stock which is sold
here each tear; wo venture the as
•ertion that do other town in the
State handles as much, aud we chal
lenge successful contradiction. Five
or six different dealers are kept as
buy as possible, aud their opera
tious extend throughout the entire
Pee Dee Section.
To crown all, our merchants and
business men are in good, solid,
financial condition, and every stock
company iu the town is declaring
haudsome dividends. The owner of
the Bank stock holds gilt edged se
enrity, which is worth considerably
more to him than United States
bonds; while the 8,000 factory
spindles sre hamming busily and
piecing that instuution in the very
front rank of the few flourishing
manufacturing enterprises iu the
State. In every direction hand
some residences are being erected,
and the town is being beautified iu
in every way. Every week or two a
a new errival in the person of some
good substantial citizen is aunoun-
oed. Is it any wonder then that ^
feal pride in onr progressive tin
which is feet becoming e city 1
is decidedly the most important
commercial centre between Wades-
boro and Charleston, and **e would
aotbe surprised if investigation
should show that it is the most im
portant east ots line drawn direct
ly north and south through the
State and passing through Colum-

The Supreme Court of the State
admitted thirteen men to the prac
tice of law on the 12th lost None
of them were from Darlington.
Poor of the applicants failed to pass
jbs examination.
iug my opinion on the inteii-siing
points pre>enud But it is of vital
impoitauct* to tliivpnrties Mint this
judgment be -peeilily rendered, aud
1 must uot delay. Keally Bte issue
is iu a small compasi aud the facts
are few.
Prior to the first day of Janu »ry,
1887, (date uot given) by an agree
ment iu writing duly entered iut>,
Mrs. Caio iue A. Charles leased to
Henry C. Byrd a faun in the Coun
ty of Darlington, S. C-, lor the pe
riod of five years, beginning Jan
uary 1, 1887.
Under this lease Byrd promptly
entered upon aud took piss ssum
of the premises. Before tlie expir
ation of the month of January, 11.
C. Byrd, died intestate, leaving Mir
viviughitu a widow, Sarah B^ rd,aud
a family of children, 1 .suppose, al
though the fact is uot stated, not
being necessary or pertinent.
On the 22ud day ot March, A. 1)
1887, letters of administration upon
the personal estate of Henry
Byrd was duly granted to Mrs. Sa
rah Byrd by the Judge of Probate
for the County of Darlington, aud
she took upon herself the duties of
that oflice, aud is now so acting.
She continued on the place, made
the crop aud paid the rent stipula
ted in the lease, twelve bags of cot
ton, save perhaps a few pounds,
about which there is no contention.
At the end ot the year Mrs.
Charles gave Mrs. Byrd notice to
quit, and demanded the premises
for the use ot a Mr. PriveU to whom
she has leased it, claiming that the
lease to Henry C. Byrd tormtuated
at his death, aud that Mrs. Byrd
had agreed to surrender and quit
the premises.
Sarah Byrd, nsadmiui-tratrix, ap
peared before Trial Justice, Henry
E. P. Sanders, in obedience to Ids
summons, and for cause why she
should not he e jected, showed the
five years’ lease to her husband,
claiming that, upon his death, the
same inured to the benefit of his
estate, aud vested in bur as its le
gal repiesentative; and furthermore
that she had iu no way terminated
said lease by surrender, by propo
sition, or otherwise; neither in writ
ing, by w ord, nor by act.
Counsel for the lessor, Mrs.
Charles, at the trial, with a view
to aid the Trial Justice iu constru-
iug the written lease, introduced
testimony touching the superior
qualification ot Ueury C. Byrd as a
farmer ami as a manager aud nn-
p ovt r of a farm ; the object and
purpose being to show that the con
tract of lease, whs personal and that
this fact, in connection with the fact
that the lease was expressed to he
Don-transit-ruble, established the
fact that the intention of the par
ties was that the lease should ter
minate at the death ot U. O. Byrd,
although there is no such stipula
tion in the contract. This testimony
was received against the objection
of connsel for Mrs. Byrd.
in the contract of lease 1 can dnd
no amibguity either pateutor latent.
The stipulations are all plainly aud
clearly expressed, and embrace the
usual covenants looking to the en
forcement of good husbandly, such
as are expected to be, aud usually
required to be, performed by ten
ants of farms aud plantations, the
only special eng gemeut being as to
the building of a house on the place,
and this is no more than any good ten
ant is capable of doing or having
done. 1 can see nothing iu the
terms of the lease which call for pa
rol testimony to aid us iu constru
iug it. It is entirely iree from am-
bigolWy or ob-cunty in meaning,
but is clear aud explicit in all its
ngts, and explains itself. It is a
.\Ae for the term of five years, no
re, no less. Hal the parties in-
Vnded that it should terminate
‘upon the death of the tenant, they
could easily have so said, but they
did not so stipulate. Beading h
from begin' iug to end ami constru
ing it as a whole, we are forced to
pionounce it a clear and absolute
lease for five \ ears regardless of the
duration of the lite of the lessee.
The Trial J ust ice, therefore, erred
in admitting jiaro^testimbuy to ex
plain, alter or vary the terms of this
lain and uuambiguoas conn act.
e erred alao in concludi g that
what whs thus erroneously admit
ted really hud the effect it was de
signed to have, for in my opinion it
failed iu its purpose; aud upon the
maiu point, to wit: the interprets,
lion of the wrtteu lease iu ull its
narts, be committed error of law in
holding that it terminated upon the
mo
death of the tenant, Henry C. Byrd.
According to my reading it is a
lease for five years, which, after the
death oi the lessee before ituexpira-
tion, inured to the benefit of his
estate, and vested in the admiuis-
tratiix. Counsel frr Mrs. Charles
argued that this quality of a lease
hold estatejuuder t he la ws of old Eng
land is contrary to the nature of onr
lauded estates, aud is detrimental
to the best interests of our 1 ml-
lotds, and hence that le ases of land
for a term ot years should a ways
cease aud determine upon the death
of the lessee, w bet her so expressed
or not. It is a sufficient answer to
this to say that the contrary is the
law with us us well as in England.
Here as well as there leas- hold es
tales oui vive the interim* liate death
oi either party to the agreement,
ami vest iu the legal representatives
of i he estates of eitiier. But Ido
uot agree with counsel that it is
against the interest* ot landlords.
Tins property of a lea-**boUl estate
is ju*t as ap; licable to the condi
tion of things here, and ia as l eue
ficlal to our landlords arid tenants
as to those of old England. Upon
reason, upon principle, upon con
venience ami nece-ouiy u is adapted
to our interests us well as to theirs.
Hence it is the law here just as it is
there. IVrhaps uocase can belter
illustrate tills view than the t ne un
der consideration, li the fiveyears’
interest iu this laud acquired b\ U-
C. Byrd iu his life lime is va u tble,
why should noi his family, alter bis
preumtur* death, luji.y the bent fit
of it 1 The law mi\> Tl.ev can do so
by duly aud hilly peitoiiumg the
covenants of the l« a->e, On (he oth
er hand, it the contract is a good one
for M s. Charles, (and she certainty
so considered it at the time of mak
ing it), u hy should she be deprived
ofits advantages by the prem tuie
death of the tenant T The law sa\s
that she shall i ot lose lb* tiuirsot
the bargain by this eVi nr, provided
(he legal representative of the per
sonal estate of U. 0. Byrd can fulfil
the agreement, as she is bound o
do, aud desires to do. But we will
cease this hue of argument as we
are dealing with the law as it is,
aud uot with the question ot its wis
dom.
It is very c’e.ir that upon the
death ol II O Byid in January,
1887, tins contract survives to his
legal representative. Since, ihat
time ha* she surrendered or forfeit
e«l the lease! The Trial Justice
holds that she lias done so; but. I
am forced to say that he has reach
ed this cUUeluaiou without evidence
sufficient iu law to sustaiu him. Mir-
remler the 1< asc she could not
legally do except by an instrument
ot writing cleariy expressing such
iutemion. No such lUair.im ut was
ex cuted b\ her, and no evidence ol
such was attempted (o be imroduc
ed. Then* is no evidence that she
has done or said anything that
would operate us a torteiture or wai
ver even other rights iu th e prem
ises. Permitting, Mrs. Charles to
build a house on the place is claim
ed by counsel of Mrs, Charles tirbc
evidence of a waiver ot'.he five
years’lease, au l proof of a ue
agreement. But the law wilt uot
allow au act like thi*, standing iso
lated and alone, to be construed into
so serious a thing as the forfeiture
or waiver of a le -se lor five years.
I have, after listening caretully
to the testimony and the argument,
read it closilv, and leel no hesita
tion in bolding that it not only fails
to show surrender, torleiluru or
waiver on her part, but, on the con
trary show that trom tne death ot
her husband to the prereutlime sin-
has been standing to the contract,,
performing its cove*, ants and claim'
iug its benefits. It is said that she
knew that Mrs. Charles rented the
place to Privett und did not.objeet.
Certain it is that she did uot con
sent to it aud does uot acquiesce iu
it, aud that is enough tor her protec
tion. Nor is there any evidence that
she made a m-w contract with Mrs.
Charles for 1887. Whether as legal
representative, she can sell and
transfer this lease, ami whether she
can perform its covenants, were
questions raised a. d discussed at
Ihu hearing. But these inquiries
ate not meessary to be answered
here, and may be leit to be met as
the exigency arises. They belong
to the future. The question lor me
to answer is, did the Trial Justice
commit error in law in adjudging
that Sarah Byrd be evicted from
the premises in question! If she is
iu by a valid, subsisting lease from
Mrs Charles then *.he judgment ol
eviction is error.
1 bold that she is in possession
lawfully under the lease to her in
testate husband, which is siill sub
sistiug and of binding force as
against Mrs. Charles and any claim
to the contrary under her; and tnat
the Trial Justice erred in the law of
the case in holding to the contraiy.
He was clearly without juiisdiction,
in evicting one who is iu lawful pos
sess! iu of premises nndt-r an out
standing valid lease.
It is, theref -re, ordered, adjndg
ed and decieed that the judgment
of the Trial Justice be reversed,
ami the proceedings before him be
set aside and dismissed, and that
all costa thereof, ami of these pro
ceedings in Certiorari be paid by
Mrs. Caroline A. Charles.
