Clarke Circuit Court in Session

Clarke Circuit Court in Session
The spring session of the Clarke
Circuit Court convened Oh Monday.
with Judge Harrison on the bench.
The docket at this term Is very small.
The case on trial as we go TO press is
suit brought by Fannie Massie, col
cred, against the late Siz Danger
fields heirs for the sum of 1912.
which the plaintiff alleges is due her
for services rendered said DANGER
field during his lifetime as cook, etc.
This suit has created much interest
among the colored people, fifty of
whom are summoned as witnesses to
testify in the case. Another case to
be heard at this term is an action
brought by the Warren Foundry Co.
against the corporation of Berryville
for claim they aver they hold
against the town for pipe furnished
the contractor of our water system.
Another case. which has attracted
much attention for the fine points of
law to be passed upon, is the Mac
Pierce will suit This suit is brought
TO effect "A settlement of the estate of
the late Peter Mae Pierce and dis
trlbution OF the assets. which at the
time of the death of Pierce were
about 100000 Mr.. Pierce died in
1898, leaving will. by the terms of
which he practically disinherited
Mrs. Mary :. Starkev, one of his four
surviving children. Mrs. Starkev
brought suit, attacking the will.
claiming that the other heirs had
used undue influence over her father.
aid had persuaded him to disiherit
her. The case was holly fought in
the court. and in the second trial of
the case "a jury decided that the will
WAS no will. Another suit was i'm
mediatelv brought. which is the one
n"w pending. and in which an ac-
counting will be had of the distribu.
tion made nv the former iiduciaries
who were interested in the proceeds
of the estate. and who had paid ont
large sums before the will was de-
clared invalid: and in which there
will also be final distribution of
the residue of the estate
The chief point at issue will be
whether or not the Court will con
firm the action of the executors un-
der the will in paying out the funds
of the estate under the will. now that
IT has been declared to be no will, or
whether, rs is claimed by Mrs Star
key, they will be held to be individ-
ually responsible for these payments.
her claim in the suit in which the
will was broken being that they were
cognizant of and parties to the max
ing of the will broken.

BUREAU ESTIMATE
CAUSED SURPRISE,
Crop Is Now Placed Below Ten Mil
lion Mark.
GREAT SURPRISE IN AMERICUs.
Government Figures Puts Present
Crop at 9,674,OOO Bales Market
Went Soaring On Publication of the
Report

The unexpected" happened in the
publication yesterday of the Govern
ment's final estimate of the cotton
crop, and as result the contract mark
ct is forty points, or nearly half cent
per pound better than at the opening,
and the chances are that it may go
higher.
Futures fairly scared with the an
nouncement of the figures.
The Bureau lestimate is for crop
of 1874, 900, whereas conservative esti-
mates heretofore were from 1850, 900
to 10, 800, 600 bales. Very naturally
there was Jump in prices.
At the opening of the market yester
day January was quoted at 7.66 but
fell to 100 soon thereafter. Everyone
eagerly awaited the flashing of the
Bureau report at II o'clock, and Ameri-
Gus talent holding contracts betray-
ed considerable nervousness during
the interim.
But everything came their way, and
several of them pulled down handsome
amounts yesterday.
The crop estimate was really lowe
than anyone here expected, as few be-
lieyed it would be even as low as ten
million bales.
If the Bureau figures prove correct
this crop will be three quarters of o
million bales under that of last season,
which was something more than 1O,-
300, 600. And if the crop turns out less
than 9, 75O, 200, as now seems probable.
prices should advance.
January contracts closed firm at 8
cents yesterday. Spot cotton advanc-
ed a quarter cent in the AmeriCus
market, the finer grades bringing ~
cents where cotton was offered.
