A sOUATTER's RIGHTS.

Alfred Snowden, a well-known colored
farmer of Greenville, is the defendant in a
novel suit which will be tried during the
present term of the Court of Special Sessions.
The suit was begun by ex-Mayor D.. w.
Oliver of Bayonne, who owns a tract of
land, consisting Of several acres, on Runyon
avenue. Snowdon has a small house on the
property and for seven years has titled the
ground. Mr.. Oliver declares that Snowden
is a squatter, and the suit which he has be-
gun is to eject the colored farmer. Snowden,
however, claims that seven years ago he
made a parole contract with the ex-Mayor,
by which he was to secure possession OF the
farm for a term of twenty-five years. The
conditions of the contract, Mr.. Snowden
says, were that he should clear the farm of
all tree stumps and stones, which he did.
He further says that there was no written
agreement with Mr.. Oliver and that he has
no document to prove his case. But he is
going to make a fight in the courts, never
theless, and has engaged Lawyer Alexander
Simpson to conduct his case. Mr.. Simpson,
a few days age, applied to the Court Of
Chancery for an order allowing him to plead
in form0 ~pdaperis. The Chancellor granted
the order, and it now acts as a stay in the
ejectment suit. Mr.. Snowden is still in pos
session of the house and farm, and he says
thai he has q right to live there for eighteen
more years. The farm is very poor soil, and
consequently is not over productive, but it is
Snowden's only means of livelihood and he
wants to hold on to it.
