Augusta Fire Com paDy.

At meeting of the Augusta Fire Com
pany on Monday night. the Sd inst, a mo-
tion made by Alex. Teabo, seconded by
Capt. j. T. Long, was adopted, as fol-
lows
That the revenues belonging to the
Augusta Fire Company are hereby appro-
priated to purchasing stock in the Staun~
ton Shoe Factory, and that the said stock
be divided equally between the different
white churches. and that the pastors of
said churches have control of said stock.
the proceeds of which are to be given to
the poor of the city.
This action on the part of the company
resulted from the dishandment of the
company. and having $500 or $500 worth
of property, it was determined to dedicate
1t o a useful public purpose rather than
make ratable division of it among the
members. The object of the action was
two fold First. to encourage the project
of the shoe factory. and second to re.og-
nize the claims of the poor of the city.
This closing action of the old Augusta
Fire Company is conformable to the spirit
which has controlled the organization from
its inception. 1t has been working for
otherswithout pay, and now it proposes to
donate what property it possesses to help
those who most need it. The Augusta has
been an efficient organization, but III view
of the organization of a Paid Fire De-
partment, its Labor of love" is lost &C.
cupation, and now the members of it will
resume their relations as COOKERS on in
Venlce,' when the alarm bells are
sounded.

National Memorial Day.

The Day was observed in StanDtOn by
the colored people, who in the afternoon
formed in procession headed by the Ma
tional Brass Band, and marched to the
National Cemetery to strew with flowers
the graves Of those who gave their lives
for their cOuntry's cause. About the time
the procession reached the cemetery a
heavy rain storm came up, which prevent
ed the delivery of the GRAFTON which had
been arranged for; and after strewing the
graves with flowers, the people res
turned hastily to town. AT night
rink as published. but owing to the heavy
rain. a large number of persons were pre-
vented from attending. Robert kelso,
teacher in the public schools of Chariottes
vile, delivered an address suitable to the
occasion, in which he paid IA high tribute
to the men who had given their lives for
patriotism and human liberty. He was
followed by the Rev. D. G. Deems. who
was not regularly on the program; but his
address was delivered in fine style, and his
ideas clothed in choice language, and
nicely rounded sentences. Mr.. Deems. is
a graduate of Wayland and Howard Uni
versities. He speaks with ease and 6nency.
The National Brass Band furnished the
music for the occasion.
After the speaking was over those pres
ent were invited to the tables which had
been tastefully arranged around the hall,
by the several congregations of the town,
to partake of strawberries and ice cream
the proceeds of which were to be used to
pay the expenses of the day. The meet
ing adjourned at late hour, and was
highly enjoyed by all present. Willis Car
ter was chairman of the committee having
charge of the arrangements, and he was
ably assisted by W. b. Davenport.

The case of Bibb vs.. the American Man.
ganese Company, which was pending be-
fore the court when we went to press last
week, was decided by the jury returning
verdict for BbD for $780, This is just
one-half of what was given by the jury at
| the former trial.
The case of Hanger VS.. Cochran engaged
the attention of the court several days.
The plaintiff, Hanger, charged the de-
| PENDANT, Cochran. with having ruined his
daughter. and that he was deprived OF her
ser, ices and put to great expense in COLI
sequence of her sickness and extraordinary
expenses resulting from the birth of a
child. of which it was claimed that
Cochran was the father. A long line OF
| evidence WAS introduced and uch bitter
ness shown in the prosecution Of the trial.
The plaiutitf was ably represented by Capt.
James Bumgardner, jr., and Geo. S. Light
ner. al d the defendant by White u Gordon.
The case WAS given to the jury Monday
last, and after short absence they re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, and fixed
the damages at $l25
The cast. of Graham VS.. Ware is of very
great interest. 1t involved the right OF a
purchaser at Il tax sale. In 1876 j. nj.
Henklo gave deed of trust to secure the
Young Mems Building Association for
the redemption of certain number of
shares. The property was sold in 1856 for
taxes. and purchased by j. i. Graham for
$2.S3. In January, 1887. II. st. g. Tucker
sold The property as special commissioner,
to wind up the affairs of the building
Association, and the property was rur
chased by j. w. Teabo, who afterwards
sold to Carter Il. Ware. Graham sought
to eject Ware and take possession of the
property. The court held that Graham as
the purchaser at the tax sale. had only
such title as was vested in Henkle. which
was the equity of redemption as to the
Building Association, and this title was
| lost to Henkle by the sale of Tucker as
| special commissioner. Ills secures Ware
| in the possession of his property, which is
situated on North Market street, and is
valued at about $500.
The statute under which this case was
decided was found in the old code. but has
been so altered in the new code which now
applies to all cases as to make it a sore and
grevOus burden. 1t should receive tt
prompt and careful consideration of the
next Legislature. Graham was repre-.

Capt. John McQuaide, Chairman of the

chain gang question before the Council Tues
day right last, stated that he regarded the pro-
posed action of making men appear on our
streets with balls and chains attached to their
persons as relic of barbarism. and there
fore opposed to the whole scheme. He said
also that the parties sent to tail. who would be
required to work III the chain gang, could not
do the class of work needed, and which was
additional reason why he opposed it. You will
generally find Capt. Jack on the right side.
