CoNTEsTING MRS. NEBLETT's WILL.
The will of Mrs. A. Viola Neblett, of
Greenville, who left property valued
at about 5000 for the establishment
of a public library in the city, will be
contested by an aunt of the deceased,
Mrs. Susan Turnipseed. Mrs. Turnip-
seed, in her complaint, alleges that in
the year 1892 she and Mrs. Neblett,
who had lived together many years,
made an agreement to the effect that
the one who died first should leave all
her property, with certain small ex-
ceptions, to the survivor. Without
the knowledge of Mrs. Turnipseed,
Mrs. Neblett afterward made will
which, after providing for certain other
bequests, made the library the resid-
uary legatee. On her death few
months ago the Neblett Free Library
association was formed and the execu-
tor named in the willie. w. Shrine
proceeded to carry out the provisions
of that document. He is now tempo
rarily restrained by the court from
doing so until further orders of the
court.

of an immense freight distributing point

determined to throw every obstacle pos

The county board met yesterday for the
purpose of selecting site for the court
house. Considerable feeling has arisen
in regard to this matter from the fact that
some members of the board wished to
locate the building on the outer edge OF
the town. The majority of the towns
people think it should be located near
the centre of the town, where 1t will be
convenient for them. The board, at this
writing, still have the matter under ad-
visement, and it is the merest speculation
to hazard an opinion as to where they
will locate it, as they have at least three
places in view.
The Druckennillers performed here
last night to moderately sized audience.
They gave very good entertainment.
Mr.. Druckenmiller said, at the close OF
the performance, that he had travelled
over every state in the Union, and that
the scenery in our opera house was as fine
as he had ever seen. 1t is indeed grand,
and it is worth a reasonable admission
price to see the scenery alone.
Our railroad facilities are firstclass. we
have six trains per day for passengers

COLONEL IRBY AND COLONEL NEAL.
In The News and Courier of Sunday,
August Kohn tells of the following in
cident which took place at Sumter
last Monday:
In fact it was not altogether neces-
sary for the meeting to have started
up with all the fire and viciousness for
the crowds to have something to talk
about. AS early as breakfast time
there was pretty good crowd in the
eating room of the Nixon House.
Colonel Neal and Mr.. w. D. Mayfeld
were at breakfast on the south side.
Across the room, at large table, sat
Senator Irby, Colonel Thompson, Mr..
Yates and The News and Courier cor
respondent. After the meal, Colonel
Neal, feeling good and with smile,
walked over towards Colonel Irby,
who was sitting on the far side of the
table. As he walked up he bad his
hand extended. He walked still near
er to Colonel Irby with his extended
hand. Did Colonel Irby accept the
proffered hand? No. He looked at
Colonel Neal, then at his hand and
blandly remarked, "Excuse me, sir, !"
and gave a slight shake of the head.
Colonel Neal evidently did not under
stand the remark Excuse me, sir" or
was so taken aback that he did not
understand the situation. Colonel lrby
evidently realized this and, after a
second hurried Excuse me-" said, ~
don't want to speak to you, SIR" That
was plain enough, and then Colonel
Neal turned, very much flushed, and
said, Gall right, sir" and with that
walked off. After Colonel Neal had
left the room Colonel Irby said that he
would speak to no man who sought to
ruin him by destroying his business.
He said to those at his table that he
did not mind a man fighting him po-
litically, for he did some of that him
self, but he did mind man using pol
itics to ruin another in business way.
1t is understood that the "business"
Colonel Irby speaks of is the hire Of
some convicts Colonel Irby wanted on
his farm.
