WIDOW LOSES IN
SUIT TO SET
ASIDE WILL
Atlanta Brother Of Dublin Mer-
chant Gets Bulk of Estate
Of $4,000.

DUBLIN, Feb. 11.-By a verdict of
Jury in Laurens Superior Court,
Tldge X. j. Hawkins presiding, Mrs.
r. p. Shewmake, prominent socie-
~ woman IN Dublin, lost her suit
AGAINST the executors of the estate Of
her late husband, H. P. Shewmake,
leading merchant of this city, who
died several weeks ago, in which she
sought to break the will which they
had offered for probate.
Mrs Shewmake claimed this was
not the legal will Of Mr.. Shewmake,
and that 1t had not been signed by
him until some time after the date
on which 1t was witnessed by
three persons in this city. Neither Of
the witnesses saw the signature on
the will when they signed it, nor
anv OF the contents, but each testi-
fed that Mr. Shewmake told them
This s my will"
Contention of Executors.
Attorneys for the executors en-
tered the plea that under a ruling
of the State Supreme Court that the
his will by himself necessarily meant
that it had been signed by him, else
It could not be his will, and con-
tended that the will had been signed
by Mr. Shewmake at the time the wit
npsses signed It,
J. S. Adams of Dublin. and ]. K.
Hines, of Atlanta, appeared for the
executors, while w. C. Davis. of Dub
lin. and Joe Hill Hall. of Macon,
represented Mrs. Shewmake. The ex-
eautors are Claud Shewmake, of At
l9nta, brother of the deceased. and
W. w. Robinson and S. T. Hail. of
Dublin.
Estate Worth $4,000.
Under the terms Of the will. the
bulk of the estate, which is valued
at probably $4,000, goes to Claud
Shewmake, while Mrs Shewmake Is
given $500 in cash, an annuity of $50
per month as long as she is single,
and $500 in cash should she marry
agaia, the $50 per month to cease
after her marriage. Efforts were made
ny her to break the will before the
Court of Ordinary, but at the hear
ing Ordinary Wood decided the will
was valid and the Superior Court
trial resulted in a like verdict.
The case will be carried to the
supreme Court by Mrs. Shewmake.

PRAISE BY HER EMPLOYERS
Miss Jessie Lee Fulbright

Bookkeeping in Four
Months and Holds a Re
sponsible Position With
the Georgia Tract Society
in This City.

The splendid success which has at
tended the large number that have
gone out from BagweI Business Col
lege "a LucBie street, this city, to
accept the most responsible posi-
tons, and the increasing demand
made upon the school for stenogra-
piers and bookkeepers by the leading
business men throughout the South
afford substantial evidence OF the
thorough, practical and efficient
training which it gives.
The excellent record of Miss Full
bright a seventeen year old girl
who completed the combined course
of shorthand and bookkeeping in four
months, is another striking example
that the courses at Bagweu Bust
ness College can be completed In one
half the time required for other
courses, and that Its graduates secure
the very best positions and that they
give the very highest satisfaction, as
shown by the strong Endorsement
given by their employers
The records Of the many successful
students who have accepted positions
in from two to four months are by
no means exceptions, but the rule.
Bagwell Business College makes 1t a
special feature Of its work to secure
positions for all lite graduates, and
no one who has completed a course IN
this institution Is without employ
ment.
No one should take up the study
Of shorthand or bookkeeping before
investigating the special advantages
offered by Bagwell Business College
and the splendid success Of it's grad
yates.

Mr.. J. O. Bagwell, president,
Bagwell Business College,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: 1t gives us great pleas
ure to say that the work that Miss
Jessie Lee Fulbright is doing for us
is very satisfactory. She takes die
tation readily, and we often give her
as many as twenty or more letters
in the afternoon, which she tram
scribes, neatly and accurately the
following day. The method OF
shorthand which she uses must be
very thorough and efficient to ac-
complish these results.
Wishing you much success, we are,
Very truly yours,
GEORGIA TRACT SOCIETY.

FROM ARKANSAS AFTER
 MAN IN ARIZONA PEN

J. F. McCuistion, sheriff of far
 famed Jackson county, Arkansas, made the fifteen hundred mile trip to Arizona, arriving yestefday to get A. H. Hill, who, under the alias of Beck er is now undergoing a term for forg- cry in the Arizona state penitentiary at Florence.
 It is to answer a similar charge in the state of Arkansas that Hill is to be removed to that state. Hills career shows him to have a weakness for forgery. Some three years ago in his native state of Texas he was being sought by Sheriff Me Cuistion of Jackson county, for the same offense, when a telegram reached his mother that Hill had fallen into the hands of Mexican outlaws and been i killed. This closed the case until the ! matter of the pond brought to light the 1 existence Of the man, reduced the death notice to a fabrication, and discovered him to be serving a sentence in Ari- l zona. Some time ago, after serving a year in the penitentiary Hill was re- l leased on parole. By another convic- ton for forgery he broke parole and
 was sent back to finish out his sen 1 tence

DAVIS GAINS q VOTES
 IN FOUR PRECINCTS
Some Change Made in Complexion Of
 Ballot on Recount

The recount of the ballots in the sen- atorial primary from Maricopa county that is being conducted on the suit and application of Senator Harry A. Davis in behalf of his own nomination went through four precincts yesterday with net gain of 57 votes for the con- testant. The four precincts that were counted yesterday were the Second, Seventh, Ninth and Tenth, and each gave him a net of three votes except the Ninth which netted him AS votes. The candidate immediately higher than Mir Davis is Sam F. Webb and 1 it is his count that is being made as against Senator Davis. His original | lead over the senator was 13S which | has been materially cut down by the count. The count so far seems to jus tify the claims that have been made 1 by the contestant

ROBERT s. FISHER TALKS
 AGAINST HANGING
First Meeting of Social Service League We'll Attended But Is
 Without Enthusiasm

The Social Service League, an or ganZation the chief propaganda of which is to wage d warfare in be- half of the proposed amendment to the state constitution abolishing the Geath penalty, held a public rally last night at the Y. NJ. C. A. stadium that was attended by so many people that difficulty was found in finding seats for, all Numbers stood ;;p around the outside. The chief speak e. of the evening was Robert $. Fisher, whose well known views upon this question need no explanation.
 Mr Fisher is recognized as a good public speaker and fulfilled the ex- pectations of the people last evening. However from the applause it could be gathered that his was not the popular side of the question. The turn that he gave to many of his arguments in favor of prohibition re- ceived q great deal more applause than did the points he made on th" ether question.
 He argued a great deal against the present prosecution system and what he was pleased to call the third degree" that is used by the prosecuting attorney and the sher- iff's officers in obtaining informa ton about a crime under investigation He stated that only seven hangings had occurred in Arizona since the or saniZation of a territory and that all poor men were more often than otl . erWise railroaded to the gallows be- cause they could not afford to en- rloy an attorney, whereas the rich l man could make a defense Tine whole system, he said, was wrong and the method of selecting a jury | to try these cases was out of the l question. The regular panel was not used but a special venire called,
 which more often than enough vas 1 picked up just outside the courthouse 1 door.
 i He publicly challenged anyone
 within the sound of his voice to de- bate the question with him at a time and place to be selected by the taller
 of the challenge.

LONDON, Sept 25.-The Os- tend correspondent of Reuters sends the following:
 Forty thousand Germans have been encamped in the environs of Waterloo since Saturday, head quarters being established at Ruysbroeck. All passports to Mons are being refused by the German authorities at Brussels, the object apparently being to prevent travellers seeing the great amount of army transport which i has already returned there from | France. Germans have installed i heavy siege guns at G.imberghen | and Meysse. To prevent inhabi-
