BRYAN 0N WATER
Took a Trip on Chesapeake Bay
 Last Night.
RACE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

Addressed Himself Particularly to the
 Colored People at St Michaels-
 Gave the Farmers Some Good Ad-
 vice About Trusts.
 Easton, Md, Oct 24.-The democrat ic presidential candidate last night abandoned railway coaches and other land carriage for a trip on the water. He came down Chesapeake bay from Baltimore to the hamlet of Claiborne, on the eastern shore of Maryland, and he has devoted the forenoon of to-day to canvaSsing that section of the state, speaking at the towns of St Michaels, Easton. Preston, Hurlock. Vienna. Salisbury and Berlin. He left the boat al Claiborne. and from that point tray eled by special train.
 At St Michaels, the first stopping place of the day, MT Bryan spoke to a small number of people who had con gregated there. Among those in the crowd were some colored people and to them Mir Bryan addressed himself to some extent. After q reference to the question of trusts he again charged that the republican party was suggest ing no remedy for the trusts. and that the reason why this was so was that the republican campaign contrib utions came. from the trusts.
 On the race question Mir Bryan said: 'It is one of the strange things We see in this campaign that the republican party goes to black man and urges that man to say by his vote that the brown man in the Philippine Islands has not right to q voice in this gov ernment. And it seems to me that be- fore a black man votes to disfranchise a brown man he had better find out upon what basis his own right stands. for if We deny to the Filipino the right to govern himself what right have We to govern ourselves? It cost hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of money 10 give the black man the declaration of independence. and now we are spending millions of dollars and wasting lives to take the declara- tion of independence away from the brown man. Before the black men of this country vote the republican ticket - they had better find out what chance the black man is to have when we draw q race line and say that because man in the Philippine Islands is brown and not of our race we will send carpet bag government over there and hold that government by force from him with a standing army"
 This is an important agricultural center. and NIT Bryan addressed him. self especially to the farmers He told his hearers that the trusts were espe- cially dangerous to the farming tom- munity

Dear Sir-In the report of the Metho-

Presbyterian and Baptist Churches was
appointed to carry out the plan"
The committee referred to is a joint
committee from the churches of Allan

house canvass of the territory they oc-
cupy, the results of which will be re-
ported later. The plan for City Mis-
sion Union will he submitted to the

CONRAD v. w. E.. H. &c LAND CO
Supreme Court OF North Carolina.
June 6. 1900

Supreme Court OF North Carolina.
f.- June 6. 1900.
WHEN AN IMPROVEMENT COM
PANY REGISTERS a PLAT
SHOWING LOTS AND STREETS
AND AN OPEN SPACE OR COURT,
AND SELLS LOTS FRONTING ON
THE COURT. SUCH ACTS ARE
AN IRREVOCABLE DEDICATION
OF THE STREETS AND COURT
AS TO PERSONS INDUCED TO
BUY UNDER THE MAP.
The court says:
We agree with his Honor that as the
defendant company. in the execution
OF its deeds to the plaintiffs, referred
therein to the plat and map which
they had caused to be registered. and
not to the Autographed map, they were
concluded thereby, and that no evil
dence to the contrary was admissible
If the owner of land lays il off into
squares, lots. and streets with n view
10 form n town or city, or as Il suburb
to IL town or city, certainly, if he
causes the same to he registered in the
county where the land Is situated, and
sells any part of the lots or squares,
and In the deed refers in the descrip-
ton thereof to the plat such reference
will constitute an irrevocable dedica-
ton TO the public of the streets mark
ed upon the plat. We think the same
principle would apply to those pieces
of land which were marked on such a
plat as squares or courts or parks, and
that streets and public grounds desg-
mated on such a map should forever be
open to the purchasers and to the pub
lie.
1t is immaterial whether the public
authorities of, the city or county had
formally accepted the declaration of the
court The plaintiffs had been induced
to buy under the map and plat, and
the sale was based. not merely on the
price paid for the lots. but there was
the further consideration that the
streets and public grounds designated
on the map should forever be open to
the purchasers and their assigns.
Gr6ce court, as laid off on the plat,
was not within the curtilage OF the
hotel. and therefore to- be used in con-
nection with 1t. but 1t was outside Of
the lot reserved for the hotel, across
a very wide street. and surrounded by
lots laid OFF on the streets adjacent to
1t. The word court" when used in
connection with such a piece of land.
is synonymous in law with the words
''park' and Square"
The exception made by the defend
ants to the refusal of his Honor to
submit an issue as to the rights of
the plaintiff Hanes is not of any con-
sequence: for. If the streets and court
are for the benefit of the other plain
tiffs and the public, he necessarily
must share therein as consequence
No error.
