Half TO Mother.

Raleigh, Oct. 12.-In Wells VS.
Wells, from Duplin county, the su-
preme court makes a ruling as to
inheritances that Is OF special inter-
est to the legal profession and laity
as well. W. D. Wells died leaving an
estate valued at $4,000 and left a
widow, mother, TWO brothers and
Two sisters living. All agreed that
the widow receive one half the estate
as her portion. Then the contention
arose over whether the mother alone
should inherit the remainder of the
estate as next Of kin or whether the
mother and the brothers and sisters
should share equally. The trial Judge
ruled in favor Of the latter contention,
out the supreme court reYerses this
and rules that the mother alone in
herits. However, ii there had been
no widow the mother and brothers
and sisters would have Inherited
equally.
Another case Of special interest Is
