feeling of uneasiness possessed him.

had to be done, and there was but one
road to It; and after drinking tum-

At midnight Grindal went below

LEGAL Matters.

What promises to be a case IN
chancery equal to that of "Jarn-
dice and Jarndice" is that of the
heirs Of Vt W. Whitfield against
the present holders Of his estate.
According to the viii made by
Mr. W w. Whitfield before his
death his estate was to go to his
children and their heirs. In case
of any of his children dying with
out direct descendants the prop
erty was to go to the heirs Of the
other holders Of the property.
It seems the viii was not abided
by and that the estate was broken
up and sold before the time al
lowed. Now claims have been
fled by the lawful heirs to re
claim the estate that has been
sold The claims will involve
land in North Carolina. Louisi-
ana and Mississippi, the value of
the property being near a mil
lion dollars. The case will come
before the term of Chancery
Court to be held in October and
will be well represented on both
sides.
Another case of importance
and one which involves time is
that of the creditors of Maj.
John BilIups against the Colum-
bus Insurance and Banking Co.
1t will be remembered that after
the death of Maj. Billups the
Bank showed a deed to his
estate which was made over
to them. This deed is now
being fought by the claim
ants to the estate on the grounds
that it had been kept secret and
they had furnished supplies for
the plantations under the i'm
preston that Maj. Billups was
their owner. Those interested in
the case are Mr.. Harrison John
stOn, represented by Messrs.
Orr and Harrison; E. T. Moore,
by L. D. Landrum and @. FL.
Hale; Robertson & Co. by Judge
Cayce, Belts & Sturdivont; w. G.
Beard by Orr & Harrison. The
Bank is ably represented by Capt.
q. It. Sykes and Judge Alexan-
der, Of Jackson.

The Vacancy In The Justices Office.

The successor of J. NJ. Wake
field, deceased, lisa question which
is giving the local party authOri-
ties and politicians generally no
little concern. Judge Wakefield
was nominated for the office of
justice Of the peace in this dis
trict at the recent primary and
has since died; his death leaving
only one nominee and that is Mr..
Beverly Matthews.
In some quarters it is said that
all the candidates for the vacancy
would be allowed to place their
names by petition on the general
election ticket. This is possible
under the law. but it is hardly
probable for under democratic
rule for man to oppose
the nominee of the party,
which such a course would
mean, would place him in
the light Of a bolter and the pres
ence of names on the ticket, dem
ocratic names other than those of
the nominees, would endanger
the election of the nominee.
The better plan would be to
hold another primary at once or
to await till the vacancy occurs
in January and then provide for
it by a special election. The &C
ton of the party in primary
should in no way be undermined
or imperilled and we do not be-
lieye that any good democrat
would willingly do so, Hold an
other primary at once or hold
special election in January.
