IN SUIT

Suit to break the will of the
late Anthony Murphy, who left
an estate valued at 100000, was
filed in the Fulton County
Superior Court Wednesday by
Attorney John E. McClelland, of
the firm of McClelland & Nc
Clelland, representing two sons
of the deceased, John K. and R.
L. Murphy.
The action is against Mrs.
Adelia R. Murphy, the widow,
and mother of the two men, and
their brothers and sisters, Mrs.
Kate Sciple, Mrs. Annie E. Tan
ner, Mrs. B. Robinson, of New
York, and Charles C. Murphy. -
Fraud is alleged and bitter family
discord revealed which the petition
ers charge nally has led to their
mother refusing to speak to them.
Discord Follows Death.
The cause which led to this suit,
according to the petitioners, began
soon after the death of their father.
IN 1910. Following the fathers death
brother, Anthony Murphy, Jr., was
seriously i'll, and subsequently died
They state their anxiety over the
conditioner their brother outweighed
any consideration for dollars and
cents, but at that time their brother,
charles c. Murph, came to them and
wanted them to go with him to find
their fathers papers.
They assert that when their faith
ers vault was opened in the Third
National Bank they paid little atten-
uon to its contents, but that their
oroher stated it contained an old
VIII and some other papers. The
search was then carried to a room
reserved by the father in the Aragon
hotel and their statement of the case
IS that Charles Murphy found what
he said was the real will in an old
leather suitcase.
Compromise, They Say.
According to their petition, it pro-
Vided for j. K. Murphy to receive
$1,000 but left nothing for R. e.
Murphy. n
Ihey were importuned, they charge
lot to bring suit and finally on rep
.esehldtlon that the real will had
Seen found, compromised for $40. 900
cash.
non against them was that their
reason given for the discrimina-
orother, Charles C. Murphy, urged
sIeT father to charge against them
-U-rahcements in money made.

he last 80 days they have made the

, oa'su mas been altered, changed and

Cnaries c. Murphy and other
1elfs, 1t continues, ARE now living

,uily due petitioners.
Charies c. Murphy has practi-
any the entire management of the
property and is committing waste,
wing an idle and profiigate life and
Iolos himself aloof from petitioners,
aosolutely ignoring that they are of

One might think that the
presence of this deadly growth
might make Spradling's work in
camp lighter if he would tell Ty-
rec. But the negro no more
would think of telling Tyree than
he would of ending his own life.

SOL H. CLARK
MAKES CONTEST
viii Present His Claims For
Sheriff's Nomination Be.
fore Committee
SAYS MONEY WAS USED
The Contest for Sheriff is the
Only One Which Has Develop
ed and Now That Period for
Same Has Closed 1t Means That
This One Lone Contest Viii
Be Heard By the County Repub-
liccan Executive Committee.

Notice of contest has been filed
by Sol H. Clark against Sheriff
Dawson who received the greatest
number of votes in the Republican
Primary, held April IA, and the
contest will be aired before the
committee, which will meet at the
Courthouse, Saturday, April %.
Mr.. Clark is contesting the cleo
ton on the ground that Sheriff
Dawson used money against him
in the late primary. Notice of the
contest was served on Sheriff
Dawson Saturday.
With the exception of the! con-
test for Sheriff there will be no
other contest filed for any of the
county offices.
The rumored contest in regard
to the office Of Circuit Court
Clerk in which it was asserted
that C. H. Lowell had fallen into a
trap and had pledged a deputyship
before his election did not mater
ialize.

levy which will give above $13,.
OO from the county in addition to
state aid. Hardeman and Warren
counties will be campaigned the
coming week as well as some East
tennessee counties. Inspector
Bourne will spend Monday in
Claiborne county with Supt. Miss
Jennie Burkes, whose reputation
for getting more school things at
one time than any superintendent,
IS known from one end of the
state to the other. She has some
lnltltlave work on hand, as usual.
Il will spend Monday in Polk
county at Benton and Tuesday at
Loudon. So the campaign for
better schools is going right on.
Another very gratifying thing
is the movement in incorporated
towns for bond issues for school
buildings, Within two weeks Big
Sandy has voted $4,000 for bonds
for a school building and Camden
voted $4,000 for the same pur-
pose.
Such actions are very encour-
aging as in most instances these
schools will be consolidated with
the county high school in some
form.
The following counties have
asked aid from this department at
the April terms of court: Cooke,
Meigs, McNairy, Granger, Dyer,
Lewis. Smith, Gibson, johnson,
Lincoln, Dickson, Weakly and
Warren. These will be furnished
speakers from this department
and from the faculties of the state
normal schools. We are expect
ing great results"
Supt. Thompson, Prof. Bourne
and Robinson will attend the
A
meeting at Memphis, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week.

MANY COUNTIES
SEEKING AID
OF State Educational Department
In Campaigns. For Increas-
ed Tax Levies.

Nashville, Tenn, March 90
The state department of educa-
ton is busy now with two very
important things aside from the
adoption of text books, namely,
the uniform examinations, the
first of which will be given May
IA and 18th, and the April term of
courts in many counties of the
state which are asking for states
men to help with their courts and
with educational meetings this
week and next.
State Superintendent S. H.
Thompson, when seen in his office
at the capitol, said:
i do not, at this time, wish to
say anything about the examina-
tons but will have a specially pre-
pared statement early next month
to which hope the newspapers
of the state, with their unusual
generous spacing. will give wide
publicity. Just now | desire to
make a statement about court ac-
ton in April for additional school
levies. You will recall that twen-
ty-one new counties took favor
able action on this in January,
due in no small measure to the
wide notices given by the news
papers.
Now we are conducting a SINH
lar campaign in many counties for
both common and high school aid
but particularly for high schools.
Inspector Bourne, who has Just
returned from an important meet
ing of state high school inspection
in Chicago, is with Prof. Robinson
actively engaged in several coun-
ties now. We were all together
in Weakly county Friday and Sat-
urday. Supt. Syl Fisher, of that
county, has his work we'll organ
lied and with the additional en-
thusiasm he is putting into the
work, hopes to get a fifteen cent
