Rudne went to Jacob Kalmanowitz ;oI buy his buggy on credit, but Jacob re- fused to trust him, because he had heard of the transfer of his property to Lon don, and, in order to persuade Jacob to trust him, Joe Rudne said to him, T want to make trick with Sadie Be- ratz, and soon the place and everything will be in Rudne's name again."
 Some time later. in talk with Harry Rudne. Kalmanowitz, asked him, refer ring to the transfer to London. why he and his father did so, and said that nobody would trust them Harry replied that he was sorry and said in substance that the $500 saved would be spent, and that his father and he would have bad name.
 After the Rudnes had asked Mrs. Bo- ratz in June to have patience, and told her they would get Hirsch fund loan to pay her, Mrs. Boratz heard no more from them until Aug. 12, when, with her husband. she walked to the Rudne farm, and asked for payment of the $500 do me something, go ahead and do it The Boratzes left them, and brought the attachment suit.
 Harry Rudne admitted on the stand that he had lied to the sheriff who went to summon his father as a witness in this case, pretending that he was in New York, whAu he was at the time in the house where Harry and the sheriff were.
 Joe Rudne was present in court dur l ing the trial. but did not take the wit ness stand. nor deny the dishonest state ments and conduct attributed to him. 1 After the conveyance from Joe Rudne to London, John Kesser went to Lon- don who was then agent of the Federal i Land Bank, to borrow money of 1t.
 London told him. T don't believe you
 can get it. I don't believe Sadie Boratz will let you have money. I fixed il SC
 that she is going to have trouble with Rudne'
 I find as fact that the sale and con ! veyance of the farm and stock and crop' i by Joe Rudne to London and the con ditional sale by London to Harry Rudnt and the reconveyance of the farm bI 1 London to Harry Rudne were all coliu sive and parts of a fraudulent plan in tended to prevent the collection of tn $500. note by Sadie Boratz, and. that al these transactions are void as agains her

tion cannot be maintained
 There are, however, two other ques- tions in the case, that is whether there was such retention of possession by the first owner, Joe Rudne, as to make the sale by him void as against his at taching creditor, and whether the sale was actually fraudulent and made with the express intention of defeating the attaching creditor-and therefor void as against such creditor.
 It is to be noticed that there was re- plevied, in addition to the cattle and horse, a quantity of hay and oats in the north barn. It is understood that this hay and oats were part of the growing crops'' conveyed by the deed and bill of sale from London to Harry Rudne The existence of the conditional bill of sale therefore does not affect the question whether London had a right to immedi- ate possession of the hay and oats, but tho questions of constructive or actual fraud do affect London's right to the hay and oats as well as to the cattle and horse.
 The questions of constructure fraud and actual fraud, so far depend upon the same facts that it is difficult to separate them. Facts which are equivocal as to constructive fraud are seen in a different light according to whether bona fides or mala fides is found,
 Joe Rudne bought the farm from Mr and Mrs Popowich in 1917, paying them some cash. a mortgage note for $500 land his unsecured note for $500. The I$500 note came due in May, 1918. Mrs
 Popowich repeatedly asked Joe Rudne and his son Harry Rudne for her money l any was told they did not have it. Hear.
 ing rumors that Joe would try to cheat I her, she sold the two notes to Mrs Sa.
 die Boratz, a dealer in notes, on May II. 1918.
 The day after Sadie bought the notes
 she and Mrs. Popovich met Harry Rudnt 1 in Shea's store and Harry introduced
 himself as Joe's son. and showed her { i letter. which she could not read bur which he said was from the Fedora
 Land Bank, and told her she would ge

Judge Finds Transfers Fraudulent

Judge Gardiner Greene handed down his decision Wednesday in the .reple- vln case Of Benjamin London of Col chester against Deputy sheriff Garry O'Neil of East Hampton, directing tGot tho replevied property, eleven cows horse and q lot of hay be returned to the defendant and that S5.O0 damages be paid
 Judge Greene's memorandum of de- cision in the case declares that Ben jamin London, Joe Rudne and Har- ry Rudne were all three guilty of fraud and collusion in a plan intended to rcevent the collection of 8 $500 note, .aAd that certain sale of the replevied lrcccr,y D" 'hcye three men is Viod as aS.D1s. toe lu pr of the note.
 Memora sam Of Decision
 'J-ds, r-lcs ..oLorandum of de- cisioD t.sS ds follows:
 This ls an aclion of replevin of num- her of cattle, one horse and of certain hay and oats, which were attached by the defendant deputy sheriff. The plain tin claims that the cattle, hay. horse and cats were his property and that he had q right to their immediate possession, and that the defendant in the attachment suit was not their owner.
 Counsel agreed in court that the at tschment proceedings were legal in every respect, except the question as to the ownership of the personally attached, and that the only question for the court to decide was as to the ownership there of, whether 1t belonged to the plaintiff or not. The defendants claim was that it belonged to Joe Rudne, the defendant ;n the action in which it was attached.
 This question of ownership involves the question of the right to immediate possession.

she would not, upon which MT. and Mrs. Rudne departed, the latter saying, God bless you" Late in June, Joe Rudne, with his lawyer, went to Mrs. Baratz, and proposed to pay her the $500 note if she would release the mortgage on the $500 note. This Mrs. Borazt declined to do. Rudne said that If she did not re- lease her mortgage, he could not get loan from the Federal Land Bank. La- ter Rudne asked Mrs. Boratz to have patience and he would pay her
 About the middle of June London re- ceived a proposition that he should buy the farm and stock from Joe Rudne On June 21 he contracted to do so. On July 5 he took deed of the farm and bill of sale of the horse, cattle and crops from Joe Rudne. paid at the making of the contract and at the passing of the deed 1,500 and gave mortgage for $2. .o00 The deed conveyed the growing crops to London, but reserved possession of the conveyed premises to the grantor, Joe Rudne. until Oct. Is, 1918.
 Jack London. plaintiffs son, was thenceforward on the farm part Sa the time, to attend to the crops. Joe Rudne made a business of keeping summer boarders, and had that summer from F | to Is, who expected to remain till Octo- i Der, and for whose support the milk of | the cattle was essential. Joe Rudne re- mained In possession of the premises until Oct. 15. The morning after the sale, i. e., July s, London made con
 ditionaI bill of sale of the cattle to Harry Rudne, Joe's son. On July 15 Harry paid an instalment of S10o on the conditional bill. The cattle, hay and oats remained on the farm which was
 in the possession of Joe Rudne, till they were attached on Aug IA. On Aug
 r London replevied the cattle and hay
 and oats, which latter had not been re.
 moved, and the cattle were returned tc | the farm the same evening. London
 claims to have bought the farm in or
 der to build summer boarding house but never did so, and in July 1919 solt it to Harry Rudne for S4,000. $500 more than the price charged him by Jot
 Rudne.
 Immediately after selling the farm ani ! cattle and crops to London, Joe Rudn, went to New York and disposed of tn,
 ters and to two men who married then shortly afterward. Harry testified tha Joe owed these men money and tha what he gave his daughters was for wed ding presents.
 Both Joe and Harry knew that it wa! l necessary to have the milk of these COWS
 or other milk enough for F or Is board
 CTS constantly, and yet Harry testife that Joe sold the cows before the! thought what they should do for mill | for the boarders, and that his buyin: the cows back was an afterthought t provide for their needs.
 Harry testified that his father turne,
 the boarders over to him to provide fo
 and collect from. as soon as his fathe

Harry Rudne q special property in the cattle and horses, had London a right to their immediate possession before they were attached? Clearly he had not for Harry had, and was entitled to, posses sion of them. until there was some breach of the conditions of the conditional bin, and none had yet occurred. Whether the removal of the cattle and horses by the attaching officer was q permanent removal" of them within the meaning of the conditional bill of sale so as to give London an election whether to forfeit and end Harrys interest in the cattle and horses, it is not necessary to decide, for there was failure by Harry to pay the S100 instalment which fell due Aug lust 15, 1918. This failure to pay gave London his election whether or not to end Harry's rights fin the cattle and horse. Harrys rights were not forfeited either by the removal on attachment or by his failure to pay. but by one or both events. London gained a right to elect.
 On August r, 1918, London brought the replevin suit
 This, had there been no evidence to the contrary, might hae been regarded as evidence of an election to forfeit and end Harry's rights. so that London should have not merely ownership but also a right of immediate possession.
 The court recalled London to the wit ness stand and inquired of him when he exercised his option and made his cleo ton to terminate Harry's. rights and he testified that it was not till Sunday Aug. IS, the day after the personally had been replevied, and that he did it or account of the poor condition of the cows, when they came back from the hands of the attaching officer. 1nasmUcf as London had not elected to terminate | Harry's rights when he brought his re | plevin suit, his suit was premature as tc | everything in the conditional bill of sale because he then had no right to the immediate possession of the cattle or ot anything conditionally sold and his ac

lima, and no longer the cry Of the
"nigger in the wood pile" when
free discussion is approached. The
negro should be defranchised, and
when the South enters the political
field again, as it did before the war,
with men at liberty to express and
urge, their views, the negro will cease
to be a consideration by either par
ty. If he cannot be disfranchised in
one way he will be in another. The
people in the North do not care more
for the negro than we do, we think,
and all right thinking people, North
and South, are ready to get him out
Of politics.
1t has not been the history in other
Southern states where there is a re-
publican party that the negro cuts
much figure in the elections and we
think the time is fast approaching
when he will cut no figure at all. He
belongs to an inferior race; he should
be treated properly, be allowed to
live in peace, be protected in his
property rights, but as race the
negro should have no place in shap-
ing the destiny of the country. He
will cease to have here when we have
two parties in South Carolina with
good men at the head of each, (and
each will have it's best men at the
head when there are two parties) or
when white man in South Carolina
can, inside the white mans party,
vote for the man and the platform
which most nearly represent his own
views and which promise most to the
whole country.

THOUGHT NEPHEW
DEAD IN EUROPE
w. Cobb Morris, Reported Killed in

Chester, Aug. 6.-Te he informed
of the death of nephew in an aero
plane accident in Germany nearly
three years ago and to hear nothing
to the contrary until just recently
and then in reply to letter to re-
ceive a very interesting communica-
ton from the nephew in question
was the experience Of C. II. Culp.
His nephew, W. Cobb Morris, was
often in Chester 'when7a boy. When
the United States entered the war
young Morris was working in Can
ada and just on the point OF becom-
ing a Canadian flyer, but returned
to the States and volunteered in the
air service. After passing through
the various stages in the training
prescribed by Uncle Sam for his
flyers, young Morris reached the
front a few days after the signing
Of the armistice, and was assigned
to patrol duty. It was the following
winter that Lieutenant MorrisHmet
with the accident that very nearly
cost his life, and he was, in tact,
reported dead, which information
got to relatives in this country, and
was accepted as authentic. Recently
however, Mr.. Culp, was informed by
g friend from North Carolina that
Young Morris was still alive and well
and a letter from Mr.. Culp brought
a long and interesting reply In
which the young airmen gave a de-
tailed account Of his adventures,
and promised to visit his Chester
relatives soon. He is now a first lieu
