PAID FOR HIS FREEDOM.
Negro Makes Good Note Signed Be
fore Emancipation.

COLUMBIA, 5 c, Jan. There IS
living in Laurens, S C, a negro who
enjoys the distinction of having paid for
his freedom long after he had ceased to
be q slave
Dick Nugent was slave belonging 10
the Nugent family OF Laurens, and
about one year before the beginning of
the war between the States he bought
his freedom. The price was $1,000, and
Dick, who was only able 10 pay half
cash. gave a note for the remainder.
Then the war came, and there was no
money made for several years. Then
came freedom Tor the slaves and the
decree of The courts that all debts for
slaves must be paid.
Buffalo Dick, as this man was com
monty called set to work 10 pay the bal
ance of his purchase price. Dick had
nOthin- to lose, but white friends had
endorsed his note. He would not have
them suffer. So he started to work out
his debt Il took him years 10 do II. but
not till the last cent was paid did he call
himself free. He owned an OK, with
which he did the work 10 raise a bale
or two Of cotton and almost everything
that he consumed.
Despite starting out with such a heavy
handicap OF debt, Dick is now far ahead
OF most negroes in the county.

Morris asked that the habeas corpus pro-
eeedings be held in private This the
wife's counsel vigorously opposed They

ceeded IN open court.
Mrs. Morris appeared. accompanied by
her brother. Mr.. Spears, Of Florida. DR..
Morris. followed by L coIored nurse carry

appealed 10 the court TO give her permis-
sion to see the little girl Dr. Morris
turned to one of his counsel and protested
against this. but Judge Witt granted the
mother permission to retire to a private
room with the child. Evidence was intro
dUced to show that Dr.. Morris used CO.
caine, morphine. and opium. and that he
had been professionally treated for this

The counsel for Mrs. Norris argued that

Morris, in 4 state Of intoxication and while
under the influence Of cocaine had left
their home in Manchester ten days ago,
that he had since absenced himself at his
mothers home, TO which fis wife was

his wife to leave her home TO meet him
in Richmond and he had taken advantage
Of her absence TO get possession CT the

tutsd by Mrs. Morris counsel.

Mr. James KentOn. of Memphis. Tenn.
SAYS: Il suffered from itching piles for
two years, and found nothing that would
