4 Glance at Grand Country Soon to
Become City OF Cotton Industries.
Ex-senator T. L. Emery, of Weldon,
is in Raleigh, and we took occasion yes
terday to ask him concerning the great
enterprise set on foot by syndicate to
build an industrial city on the Roanoke
River, to be known as Great Falls.
"Well," says be, cit is the grandest
place for true city IN the world. The
spot selected s against the Roanoke
River, some few mile from Weldon, but
nearly one hundred feet above that town.
II has therefore, the great advantage Of
ccation, is a delightful residence place,
and, being on the banks Of a river noted
| far and wide for It's unequalled water
| power, is sure to become one Of the most
important Industrial points in the South,
twenty years hence.

put their money in this place and there
is nothing that can make such an enter

abundantly blessed it.

THE MARY SMITH MORFHp.n
ESTATE.

Reasons for the Contest Between n
Two Wills. Points at Which IT,
Differ..Bequest to University.
The two Wills of the late Mrs. MARY
Smith Morehead, which have Just been
filed and are to be hotly contested, have
aroused more than ordinary interas.
The first of these wills, filed just after
her death, was drawn up and signed bv
her as Mary A. Smith. on October 10Th
1861. The second was signed on August
| 10th, 1883.
There are two wills but three or fonr
different classes interested. There are
those contesting the second in favor of
the first, claiming that said second will
| was made when Mrs. Morehead's s mind
was too weak to make a valid one; there
is contest for the second over the first.
because it is her last will and testament.
and then there is third contesting
party, her heirs in general, who declare
that both wills are null and void, be-
cause not made by sound mind.
The contests will come up at the Oc
tober Term of the Superior Court, and
hard fight is expected.
Points at Which They Differ.
Mrs. Morehead, in her first will, after
giving away to different relatives and
friends personal ornaments, household
furniture, ETC., divides her estate into
two parts. giving half to her mother for
life (after whose death it goes equally to
the next of kin on her father and moth.
er's sides), and the other half bequeath-
y lor lott in
l money, leaving the residue of said halt
q to the University of North Carolina. In
) the second, she bequeaths the specia
}: legacies in money first, and then divides
the remainder of the estate into two
parts, giving half of it to her mothe
under :he same condition as in the frs
and the other half to the University o
r. North Carolina.
In IT, first will she leaves nothing t
Hrs kiu.'.~o Jones, but in the secont
STE qaeaiL> to her $25, 900 as specia
lcascy.
n tfe first, Mrs Jno. Gatlin, daughte
% 3 More, gets only five thousand
g and th.a - !. ..creased in the second (
- So, 600
Ia the second she leaves So, 900 {
Mrs. Henry, which does not appear i
