CHILD WAS HELD
TO BE COLORED.

'khe plaintiff cause OF action IS
based on the allegation that his two
daughters are white children born OF
white parents. The evidence adduced
.on the first trial failed to satisfy three
'fourths of a jury of the vicinage of the
truth of the allegation. The second
trial before the court resulted in a
Judgment that plaintiffs children were
eDlored persons.
The plaintiff, Sam Lee, is undoubt-
edly a white man. He was married to
Adaline Baham before justice of the
peace in February 1880 AT that time
marriages between whites and persons
of color were lawful, and it results that
in any view of the case the children of
such marriage are legitimate.
THE solution of the question of color
depends on the status of Norah, Mary
Or Abraham Baham, the father of Mrs
Lee, who died some twenty or twenty
five years ago. 1t is admitted that Norah
Baham was of mixed blood, but wheth-
er he was of Indian or African descent
is the contested issue Of fact in the case
HAD TO PROVE CHILDREN BE
LONGED TO A WHITE RACE.
mo useful purpose would be sub
served by recapitulating the conflicting
evidence adduced on this issue in the
court below. Suffice it to say that tn,
finding of the trial Judge is sustained BY
the testimony of number of witnesSe:
who knek Norah Baham before and af
ter the civil war. 1t is true that there i!
much counter testimony, but it is no
sufficient to justify us in reversing ti1
Judgment as clearly erroneous on a pur
question of fact.
THE petition charges the defendan
company with the violation of a pena
statute, and the burden of proof was ol
the plaintiff to establish the essentia
facts necessary for recovery of til
| damages, to-wit: That his children be

lawfully assigned to a coach or com

EASTER SUNDAY.
Augusta Churches Observe Day With
Special Sermons and Music.

Easter was observed in Augusta yes
terday under the most favorable con-
ditions that could in any way be de-
sired, and the observance was general
throughout the city. The day itself
was bright and fair and typical of early
spring, and while the air was cool it
was not too cool for comfort, so that
to everybody it was indeed a day of
gladness.
The day was observed by the differ
ent churches OF the city in the usual
manner and every church was filled
with it's throng of worshippers. 1t
was estimated that the attendance was
| the largest for number of years.
Sermons appropriate to the day were
| delivered, and these with special East
er programs of music which We're rem
dered, and the beautiful floral decora-
tons in the different churches COM
bined to render the services most i'm
preSsive.
One of the features of the day was
the attendance by Trinity Command
cry, No. Z, X. T., at the Green Street
Methodist Episcopal church in the af-
ternoon, where an appropriate sermon
was delivered by the pastor. About
| so of the sir knights participated, ac-
companied by the Augusta Cadet Band.
and made a short parade down State
street on the way to the church.

FARMER BOYS TO BLAME
For High Prices BY Coming To Cities
Says Or. Wiley.

Kansas City, Mo, March E.-Folks
who have been upbraiding the packer,
the farmer, the butcher and a host of
other dealers for the high cost of living,
have been on the wrong track, according
to H. w Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Recently in an address before the
Knife and Fork Club here, Dr. Wiley
said:
Every time boy leaves the farm it is
an impetus to increased cost of living.
scarcity of farm labor makes wages
higher. and an added city popuace also
adds to the cost of food products
When the boys 60 back to the farms
