A GOOD EXAMPLE.
A Most Muniieieat Bequest to the
City Schools Of Columbia.
ALSO 70 TIE CITY HOSPITAL.
The Late Charles Logan, OF
Columbia, Remembered the
City Of His Adoption
in His viii.
in His Will.

By tie will Of the late Charles Lo-
gan tie city of Columbia receives
legacies aggregat:ng no less than $780,
900. The Columbia hospital and st.
Peters Catholic church each receive
$4,000. The document was admitted
to prob.te Tuesday afternoon, and
this wsS the first opportunity for
verifca, ion Of rumorS which have been
afoat f(r several days.
The State says shortly after Mr..
Logan's death The State was told
that the city would receive from bis
estate quite large amount for the
erection Of additional school build
ings. The relatives of Mr.. Logan
declared that the will had net been
opened and the attorney, Mr.. E. W.
Shand, declined to talk as it would
not have been becoming in him to do
so. The contents of the document
were not known until late Wednes-
DAY afternoon when Mr.. Sha1d was
handed the will with instructions to
have it filed in the probate court.
The legacy to the city schools is not
available at once, not until after the
death of Mrs. Logan. This will in
clude four acres Of the race track at
the fair grounds and $40, ,000in money,
The legacy to the hospital is avail
able at once. There is another be-
quest Of 50, 900 which is to be used by
the city for the prevention Of cruelty
to animals. This shows the trend Of
mind of the late Mr.. Logan, who was
q lover Of animal life.
The legacy for the public schools is
found in the last Of the three codicils
appended to the original will. The
tract Of land IS worth not less than
$4,000. These items in the codicil
read as follows:
