TITLE To PROPERTY.

One Million of Dollars worth Of
Real Estate in C1arksville,
Tenn, is Claimed by Col.
Charles I'D. Mclean,
Memphis.
A large portion of the city of
GAINESVILLE, and the most valuable
portion of it, IS claimed by well
known Memphian, Col. Charles ID.
Mclean. The property is valued at
about one million of dollars. The
claim depends upon question Of title
the facts being about as follows: The
land in dispute was purchased by
Bennett Scarcy, who was judge of the
circuit court composed of the counties
of Montgomery, Robinson, Dickson
and Davidson, at sheriff sale in 1907.
Judge Bennett Searcy died in 1918,
leaving daughter, who was married
to G. d. Mclean, then residing in
GAINESVILLE and proprietor of the
GAINESVILLE Recorder, a predecessor
of the present Chronicle. Mrs. Nc
Lean died in 1918, leaving two daugh-
tiers, one of whom married a man
named Mosby, the other Mr.. Wins
ton. Mrs. Mosby died in 1879, and
her children, grandchildren of G. d.
Mclean and great-grandchildren of
Bennett Searcy, have brought suit in
the chancery court to declare the right
of their heirs to the property upon
the death Of their grandfather, c. ID.
Mclean, who is tenant by courtesy
during his life as a widower of the
daughter Of Bennett Searcy. The
other daughter left no children. Nc
Lean still lives at the age of eighty
FIVE, and resides in Memphis. The
suit is to test the validity of legal pro-
ceedings under which the possessors of
the property claim owdership. Some
of these lots were sold by G. ID. Me-
Lean, as guardian, and the heirs insist
that the sale was void, because no
pleading or process was served upon
the minors. Other lots were sold for
taxes during Bennett Searcy's lifetime,
some sold for taxes after his death,
and others sold under levy for debts
to satisfy judgmeut..against the adj
ministrator of Bennett Searcy. Com
plainants insist that no process was
served in the latter case upon the mi
nors. The papers onsthese scire tacias
proceedings, which were served in
1919 and 1923, have been mislaid or
were destroyed in the fire of 1878.
Suits have been brought upon thirteen
of the original lots, which have been
subdivided. The defendants claim
adverse possession for over fifty year,
and that they are entitled to the pre-.
sumption that all processes were prop
erly conducted in accordance with
law. unless proof to the contrary can
be produced. We understand many
of the most eminent lawyers in the
state are retained to attend to this
important law Memphis Appeal.

Census Tricks.

As there is a good deal of talk about
the forthcoming census, it may be well
to warn people against pretended Of
fcials who will no doubt attempt to
perpetrate fraud under the guise of
gathering statistics for the census.
The game has already been begun in
some states. A good looking person
armed with blanks and papers that
give him an air of official respectable
ity drives up to farmers house and
asks him for information about his
crops of grain, potatoes and other
farm produce, the number of acres he
has in cultivation, the number of head
of cattle he owns, and other facts con-
nected with his vocation, all of which
is carefully noted on his blanks. Then
the farmer is requested to sign his
name at the bottom of blank space
on the paper to verify the informa>
tion-and here is where the trick
comes in. The farmer may unsus.
pectingly append his signature with
out asking questions; if so. be is en-
trapped, for the pretended official,
bidding him good day, takes his de-
parture, goes off and writes over the
signature a promisscry note for 500,
5000 or $4,000, aud sells it to the
nearest bank or note buyer, and the
farmer knows nothing Of the fraud
till the note falls due, and he is Motif
ed by the innocent holder to come
forward and pay it. As we have taxi
en- frequent occasions to warn farmers
and others, they cannot be too wary
of strangers, who, under one pretence
and other, ask them to sign their
names to papers. In nine times out OF
ten there is fraud intended. The
census law does not require persons to
sign their names to papers at aii.-&
