Al effort TO BREAK The Sewers Will
Suit Filed by Rowan Woman AGAINST Execu-
tors Of Estate Of Late Philip Sewers.

The Lexington Dispatch of last
week had the following interest
ing story of a suit instituted by
Mrs. Minnie G Sewers, of Row
an, against the executors of the
late Philip Sewers:
"Mrs. Minnie G Sewers, widow
OF the late Jacob G Sewers, of
Rowan county, has fled suit for
$4,000 against H H Hedrick and
Philip J Sewers, executors of
the late Philip Sewers. The suit
is brought by Mrs. Sewers as
the representative of her eight
year old son, Philip Sewers, Jr.,
to whom was bequeathed a thou
sand acres of land the old home
OF the deceased on the banks of
the Yadkin river in Rowan coun.
ty. She alleges in her complaint
that half this amount is the diff
ference in the value Of the estates
parceled out to the four heirs by
the will of the deceased. The
complaint, it is understood, fur
ther alleges that the will is a vic.
lation of contract made 21 years
ago between her late husband
and his father, whereby the son
was to be given all the Rowan
properties of Philip Sewers,
upon condition that the son pay
the debts then outstanding
against the properties. It is con-
tended that Jacob Sewers paid
$25, 900 Of these.
"In the will of Philip Sewers
the lands in Davidson are given
to the three living children and
III acres near Spencer was be-
queathed in fee simple to Mrs.
Geo. F Hedrick, the only daugh-
ter. This was the only portion
of the lands given in fee simple.
The personality was devised to
all equally. The case will likely
be fought out around the COM
parative values of the various
lands, their locations and fertili-
ty and question as to whether
the deceased son actually paid
the debts of the deceased father.
Quite a mum Der of interesting
questions are involved. The will
which leaves the home place to
the minor heir specifies that no
timber except for upkeep and
use on the place shall be cut and
sold during the minority of Philip
Sewers, Jr, 10 his mother is
left 5000 per year so long as she
remains a widow.
THE case will likely come up
at fall term of Rowan Superior
court. Clement and Clement
and probably several other men,
bers of the Rowan bar will rep
resent the plaintiff. Emery E.
Raper, Of Lexington. and Linn &
Linn and R Lee Wright, of Sails
bury, have been retained by the
executors. The defense has not
yet filed it's answer to the COM
plaint, which was filed in Sails
bury last week."
