Equity Master Sells
Tuo racts Monday

J. J. Brabham, Jr., master in eQui-
ty for Bamberg county, sold two
tracts of land at the court house here
Monday morning at auction. One
tract included 35 acres just out Of
the northern limits of the town Of
Bamberg, and the sale resulted from
the celebrated case of Bamberg Bank
ing Company against Addie Mat
theWs and others. The bank held a
mortgage over the land and attempted
to foreclose the mortgage which was
past due. The defendant alleged that
she merely owned a life interest in
the property the remainder being
vested in the lawful heirs of her body
after her death, these being her
children, and that consequently moth
ing could be sold under the mort
gage except her life estate and after
her death the premises would descend
to the children in fee simple under
an old deed executed many years ago
and on record in Barnwell county.
The master and the circuit court here
ruled against this contention, hold
ing that the plaintiffs mortgage COW
cred a fee simple interest of Addie
Matthews in the property. The case
was then appealed to the state su-
preme court which reversed the lower
decisions and handed down an opln-
ion in which the position Of the de-
fendant was sustained against the
bank and ordered that the life es-
tate of Addie Matthews was all that
could be sold under the mortgage
and after her death the children
must be let into possession of the
property in fee simple.
The life estate was accordingly
sold Monday, the bank being the pur-
chaser for 500; the mortgage in
debtedness amounted to around ST.
500. Addie Matthews Is colored
woman about SO years of age.
The other sale grew out of the
mortgage foreclosure of S. w. sandi-
fer against J. L. Knight and c. E.
oWinsted. This was "a acres of land
without house, the land being located
on the southern edge of Bamberg. 1t
was bid in by S. W. Sandifer for ST.
10000. ~
