PHILOSOPHER MURCHISON

Duncan Murchison was in the city
yesterday. He is very much disturbed
over the doings of the people sin the
Christian land" He says that all the
cotton buyers in Abbeville are officers
In the church, and he knows they
want good things to eat, better cigars
to smoke and better clothes to wear,
but be hopes they wont take it all
from the old farmer. He says he will
be satisfied with cheroot.
And then he says, Look there at
Aft Lyon, he is an officer in the Sc
ceder Church around here, and you
fellows have to hire man at $500
to watch. him." And all the bankers
he says, or most of them are officers
in the church, but the law has to keep
them from taking more interest than
is right. Finally he concluded, "1f a
heathan land is any worse than this,
I would hate to live in it."

Note. A deed of feoffment at the
common law was a deed which took
effect by an actual or symbolical de-
livery of the property which was ac-
complished as is stated by the law
books, by the owner going upon the
lands breaking a twig or taking
tuft of grass, or some part of the
soil and delivering it to .the feoffee,
or purchaser. Under our statutes
deeds of this kind are not any longer
in use in. this state.
