recon mended the plan of dividing the county
into districts iof suitable size, thus bringing

VIGILANT OFFICER.
A Pretty Young Lady's Good Fortune
"A Most Remarkable Occurrence.

Probate Judge r. +. Hill recently called the
attention OF tie widow OF j. Marion Pruitt TO
the fact that 1t was necessary for some one to
take out letters Of administration de bonis
non Of the estate Of j. NJ. Prultt, OF which es-
tate J. III. YoungboOd. was executor, and
who died before fully administering the es-
tate.
She replied that the estate had actually
been settled, and Instructed the Probate
Judge TO "mark II so.'
The Probate Judge then replied that 1t was
not customary TO settle estates in 30 summa.
ry a manner, and that the estate was not so
nearly settled as she supposed IT was, and
that while 1t appeared that she bad received
all that she was entitled TO under the will,
and therefore had 10 personal interest In The
estate, yet such was not the case as 10 her
children that from the records In the Pro-
bate Judges office, 1t appeared that the exc
cutOr was indebted TO the estate some $4,000 or
$1,000.
The deceased Executor J. ii. Youngblood
was thought 10 be worth considerable money,
and rs no children resulted from his marri-
age with Miss Pruitt, II was thought that his
kinsman in Alabama would share his estate
equally with the widow, but the discovery oi
facts on record puts a new face on the stua-
ton. The interest OF the widow and her
mother will not be affected, but the sister OF
the widow, Miss NJ. Allie Prultt, will unex-
pectedly receive several thousand dollars,
which 1t was formerly thought would 60 to
kinsmen in Alabama.
The parties In interest have appointed
Messrs. Lyon and DeBruhl their attorney to
prosecute their Interests and wind up the es.
tate.

Proper Recognition of His Ability.
Laurensville Herald.

Judge Benet presides with that dignity
which, while II commands respect, is altoA
gether free from any unnecessary restraint
yet combines with 1t that easy dispatch of
business so necessary In the prompt discharge
of his duties. Always courteous and gener-
GUS to the witnesses and jurors he is al the
same time considerate and humane TO the
prisoner and is careful to see that every pris-
oner receives q fair and impartial hearing.
The Herald defended Judge Benet from the
attacks made upon him by reason OF his for
eign birth, at the time OF his election, and II
we had had no other evidence OF his fitness
for so high position than that OF his recog-
nized legal ability It alone would have been
sufficient; but since witnessing his other vir-
tues we do not think 1t Is saying too much for
Judge Benet when we affirm that his eleva.
tion to the Bench was not only proper rec
ognition Of his splendid abilities but also an
honor TO the judicial ermine Of the State
which he wears with so much grace and be-
coming dignity.

Excursion 10 Atlanta.

Last Thursday an excursion train went
from Greenwood to Atlanta, carrying large
company from Abbeville. They came back
on Friday. We learn that there was drunk
epness and disorder on some of the coaches.
A large number of boys are said TO have been
drunk on the return trip.
From past experiences 1t seem to us that de-
cent people ought to 60 on these excursions
very seldom. 1t is usually better not to 60
than to go in disorderly corn pany.
