MT. Davis was born in Little River County, Arkansas in 1862, and received his education at Russellville in this State and at Vanderbilt University gradual ing in 1884. He was admitted to the bar the same year and soon after began the practice of his profession.
 Senator Davis term would have expired in March of this year. At the Democratic State primaries he defeated Stephen Brundige for the nomination as Senator, As the Legislature is overwhelmingly Democrat, he would have been reelected as soon as the Legislature met.
 Senator Davis was a man who made staunch friends and bitter enemies, and his success in poli- tics is without a parallel in the history of our State, His death will be mourned by thousands who knew him personally.

GOT $l,OOO,OOO
FOR CHANGING
HIS NAME

NEW YORK, August la change
Of name that was worth more than
$1,000.000. was disclosed In the ap-
praisal Just filed Of the estate of Au-
gustus Van Cortlandt, late head Of the
Van Cortlandt family of the Bronx.
The appraisal also brought to lignt
the remarkable will Of Mr. Van Cort-
landt's uncle OF the same name who,
eing without male descendants and
about TO die. provided Tor the contin-
lance of the family name by leaving
his entire estate for that purpose.
The first Van Cortlsndt came here
from the Netherlands I'm 1888 and In
the succeeding centuries his descend
ants married into the families Of the
Van Rensselaers, Schuylers, De Pey-
sters, Ver Plancks, Jays, Livingstons,
Barclays. De Lanceys and others Of
social and business prominence In
New York.
The vast Van Cortlandt property,
comprising hundreds of acres In
what was then Yonkers. and Of which
ZOO acres was taken by the city for
Van Cortlandt Park, fell to the sole
ownership Of Augustus Van Cortlandt
early in the last century. He was the
son of Henry White. who married
Anne Van Cortlandt. When he sue
ceeded TO- the estate he dropped his
fathers name becouse there we're no
male Van Cortlandts.
AS he approached old age, with no
male descendants. Mr.. Van Cortlandt
drew up a will in 1925 providing that
If his eldest brother, Henry White,
should exchange the name White for
Van Cortlandt within six months
after his death the latter should in
hert the entire estate. II the brother
failed to do so the entire estate was
1 to 20 to the testator's nephew, Angus
; tus Van Cortlandt Bibby, in case the
latter took the name within siA
months Of the testator's death.
The brother Henry lived only few
months after the death of Augustus
Van Cortlandt, and he had no time
to comply with the requirements o
the will. Accordingly the executors
turned to August Van Cortland
Bibby and inquired If he intended tC
obey the terms Of the will. HI
promptly replied that he did, anC
dropped the name Bibby.
The appraisal of his estate shows
that he left a total fortune of S1,23S,
7S3, the bulk of which he got through
his change of name.
