Emancipation Day Celebrated .

There was a large crowd in town last
Friday to celebrate the 5lst aunlver-
sary of the emancipation Of negro free
doom. 1t was a good day, and real
lively time was had among the colored
people.
There were two brass bands on hand.
The parade was made up at the "old
school house," headed John Washing
ton and his staff of marshalls and the
president, Rev 81. c. DeLaine, and
other officers. Two dozen or more bug
gies were in the procession which went
through the streets to the co'ored
graded school, where the Speaking
took place.
Inpromptu speeches were made by
Rev. A. W. Timmons, A. Collins and
others. The orator of the day was b.
B. Thomas, a dispatchlng clerk in the
Oraogeburg post Office A large crowd
greeted Thomas, who made practical
talk along the lines of industry and
right living. The speaker did not de-
liver his address from a, manuscript,
but was cheered throughout his dis
course. He cautioned the co,ored peo-
pie to live so as to hold the friendship
of the best white people of the com.
munity in which they live, declaring
that feeling between the races in
Orangeourg was nothing more than
good wiN one for the other. Il. B.
Thomas is a native of Orangeburg. His
parents belonged to ex-senator Razor
and Judge B. 81. Morse. He has held his
present position for over twenty years
without one objection being made from
the white people OF Orangeburg.
In every county in the Southern
States these celebrations are had
among the colored people, not so much
as to honor Lincoln or commemorate
results of the war, but to note the pro-
gress of the negro race since freedom,
and encourage every movement that
tends for the religious industrial and
moral uplif5 of the negro as an Ameri-
can citizen.
The; officers elected for the ensuing
year are: Rev. Il. c. DeLaine, presi-
dent; Jas. Seals lst vice-president: s.
NJ. Walker, End vice-president; Calvin
Johnson. secretary; Charles Nelson,
treasurer Among the county executive
committee are A. Collins, Jno. Deas,
Ed. Walker, Furrnan June, B. Brock,
Eli DuRant, L. q. Moses, Eli Coe. Jno.
Washington, Oscar Davis, Wash
Stukes, and Eli DuRant were elected
marshalls.

Lawsuit.

Mr.. A. Plummer Burgess of Fort
Motto, but formerly of Summerton, has
begun suit against r. E. McFaddio,
as Trustee and as Supervisor for the
recovery of $3.50 which Mr.. Burgess
turned over to Mr.. McFaddin to have
the indexes in the clerk Of courts
Office completed. The work of rein
dexing these records was awarded to
Mr.. Burgess for the sum of $500, this
amount was paid to him, but it was
learned later the contract had not been
complied with, in, that the work was
unsatisfactory. Mr.. Burgess was called
op 20 make the work good, instead OF
doing so himself ne deposited $3.50 to
have same done, aud Messrs. T. II.
Wells and F. C. Wells undertook it
gentlemen could not spare the time
from their regular employment. and
they secured the services of Mr.. E. B.
Brown. who is completing the work
and expects to have it ready in short
time. The grand jury at the last term
of court, We think it was, made some
reference to tbis money being deposit
ed by Mr.. Burgess, and suggested the
work be completed or the money re-
funded. The suit was fled by Char
lesion lawyer, and we suppose the case
will come on for trial at the next term,
then it will be seen whether or not
Mr.. Burgess is entitled to recover the
money, and it will also be seen whether
or not he was entitled to receive anv-
thing for work the officials, and mem
bers of the bar claim is almost useless,
and, altogether unreliable so far as
furnishing accurate information is con-
cerned. Not only was the work mac
curately done, but many names were
entirely omitted, is the information
given to the writer when he sought in
formation in response to request that
provision be made for more compensa-
tion, it being claimed the amount al
lowed was insufficient, to compensate
the contractor for the volume of work,
even though Mr.. Burgess assumed the
contract at the figures provided in the
Act to reindex these records.

New Law Now IN Force.

The act of the Legislature to provide
for the registration Of all births and
deaths in the State of South Carolina,
which was approved by the Governor
on the first day cf September last, is
now in force and the machinery is in
operation to carry it out in all its pro-
visions. -
Local registrars have been appoint
ed in all incorporated cities, towns and
magisterial districts, and the law re-
|ouires that TO these several local reg
istrars shall be reported all births,
stating time of birth, SEX, race, etc.,
and these certificates are to be copied,
the copies to be fled in the Office of the
clerk of court and the originals FLED in
the Office of the State Board OF Vital
Statistics. A similar course is to be
followed in case of all deaths, and
there shall be no burials or transporta-
ton of dead bodies without an official
permit, Punishment by fine OF FIVE 10
one hundred dollars or Imprisonment
for not less than thirty days, or both
fine and Imprisonment, is provided for
violations of the requirements OF the
law. AS a matter ofcourse, no Official
working under this new law desires to
collect any fines or have any one i'm
prlsoned, but it is earnestly desired to
have each birth and death duly re-
ported that permanent record may be
had OF it. Why should ell deaths be
recorded? In the first place, because
the facts in the case may later become
matter of the utmost importance to
relatives or others concerned, and it is
often extremely difficult and sometimes
utterly impossible to do so by living
witnesses or privately kept records. A
case happened here in Clarendon coun-
ty within recent months where great
deal of correspondence was necessary
perhaps not yet satisfactory to estab-
| lish the facts of certain death that oc-
cured here. Similar cases are frequent
| ly occurring throughout the State.
Then, as to the registration of births,
there is hardly a relation 10 life in
which the evidence o. such accurate
Registration may not prove of the great
est value, such as the matter of des.
cent. the relations of guardians and
wards, disabilities of minors. the ad-
ministratlon of estates, settlement Of
insurance, registration of voters, the
enforcem ement Of laws relating to child
labor, and a thousand and one other
important matters. The fact is, we
should have had such law from the
foundation of the government and it is
imperative that 1t should not be delay
led longer. Our State is behind nearly
every ether State in the Union in this
mo ttar and every citizen Shonl6 heart
lily cooperate with the officials OF the
Bureau of Vital Statistics in getting
the work started right and in keeping
accurate records from now on. As
things now are, there are many people,
both white and black, here in Claren-
don county that do not know how old
lthey are and cannot give a correct
1 statement as 20 the ages of their chill.
dren. To have the records made does
not cost the individuals anything more
than furnishing the facts to the reg
| istrars.

its roadbed.Y;
In disposiag of the question then un-
der consideration the court used this
language:
The defendant, as grantee of the
ranaindermen or of their trustee, could
rot recover any part of the land so ded-
:icated to railroad uses, so far as the
same was authorized by the charter to
be taken for right of way, and the
defendant had no right TO take posses
sion of any part thereof so dedicated in
accordance with such charter, so as to
interfere with the night of easement
held by the plaintiff therein, even if
the same could be shown to be embrac-
ed within the limits of the defendants
deed. Bridges vs Railroads, Sc S. G.

S. G. 4S1 (48 S. E. 416; Cureton Us. Rail
road, SO S. c. 371f(37 S E. 914.
ut must be concluded, therefore,
that any estate acquired, by the defend
ant IN the premises by the deed of 1904
was subject to the easement previously
granted TO and then being used by the
plaintiff company, so far as concerns
that portion Of the land in question
which is embraced within the strip ex-
tending Is feet on each side of the CEN
tre Of the roadbed OF the plaintiff, and
which it had the right to hold as a
right CT way"
The court, in conclusion. stated that
there was no error in enjoining the de-
fendant Colclough from interfering
with the plaintiff in the exercise of its
right to the use of the strip of land for
railroad purposes. embraced within the
limits of rs feet on each side of the rail
road track.
These conclusions render unpeces-
sary the additional ground upon which
the appellants attorneys gave notice
that they would ask that tie amount of
the judgment be increased.
1t is the Judgment of this court that
the judgmenTof the circuit court be
reversed and the complaint dismissed.
r. G. Watts, Al, ard George W.
Gage, A. j.. concur.
D. E.. .Hydrick, A. j., concurs in the
result.
Separate opinion by T. B. Fraser
A. j.:
The deed under which the plaintiff
claimed contained the following boun-
Diary, to ''the east on the right of way
of N. W. railroad company" The
breach of warranty claimed is the land
covered by the right of way. The con-
veyance, therefore. either did not in
clude the land covered by the right of
way, or was conveyance; subject to
the right of way. In neither case can
the plaintiff recover.
For these reasons concur in the re-
suit. T. B. Fraser, A. J.
Davis & Weinberg, for appellants;
j. j. Cantey, for respondent.
