$4,000 SUIT AGAINST
HEATH BEING HEARD
Bank of Union Is Seeking to Force
Executors Of b. ID. Heath Estate
TO Settle Large Claim A,

The Bank Of Union, through its at
torneys, Messrs. Stack, Parker &
Craig, j. c. Skies and W, B. Love,
yesterday began action in the Su-
perior court to force the executors
of the will of the late ). d. Heath
to pay claims aggregating about
100000 against Messrs. W. j. Heath
and Gilbert Heath, two of the benef-
ciaries. A big array of counsel, in
cluding Messrs. f. 7. Cansler Of
Charlotte and II. B. Adams of Wax
haw is appearing for the executors of
the estate and Messrs. W. j. and Gil
bert Heath and the case promises to
be one of the hardest-fought actions
that has appeared in the Union coun.
ty Superior court in years. A appeal
to the Supreme court is certain.
The claim is against the Heath
Cotton Company, of which Messrs.
". j. and Gilbert Heath were the
chief hackers. Under the VIII of the
late B. d. Heath these gentlemen,
who are brothers, inherit around
100000 each, and the Bank of Un-
ion is seeking to force the executors,
Messrs. w. H. Twitty, H. B. Heath,
W. F. Johnson and others to turn
over to the Heath Brothers the bal
ance of their Inheritance, roughly
estimated at about 100000 for the
two, so they can collect their claim.
The executors contend that under the
will they are not required TO turn
over the money to the heirs unless
their Judgment dictates, while the
?la ntitf contends that if such a sec
on of the will gives them this pow
tr it is invalid because of conflict
with corporate on statutes.
At present Judge Long is hearing
various motions on the case, and al
ter placing an Interpretation on the
will, will probably allow the jury TO
pass upon the facts.
The jury for this term Of court is
composed of the following:
w. NJ. Howie, Route 4, Waxhaw;
w. c. Crowell, Monroe; J. J. Harkey,
Route 2, Waxhaw; J. Albert Medlin,
Route I, Monroe; w. J. Austin, Route

Gus Accident on Charlotte Road

CeTaOuS .tCClutnt On tHaffUtte hOiu
Mr.. W. L. Simpson and his son,
Mr. Bunyan Simpson, of West Mon
roe township, had a narrow escape
from serious injury on the Charlotte
road Sunday night when a Ford ran
into their buggy. Mr.. Simpson had
started to Monroe to attend church
services. When he saw the lights of
the approaching car he turned out to
the side Of the road, but the driver
of the car, it seems, didn't pull to the
other side far enough with the result
that he crashed into Mr.. Simpsons
buggy. The two occupants were
thrown out of the vehicle, and young
Bunyan got tangled in the lines and
was dragged some distance before
the mule could be stopped. Both
were badly cut and bruised. The
driver failed to stop, speeding up his
car after it had righted itseit. The
buggy was almost complete. 1,.lo.-

The Elizabethtown News, edit
ed by Mr.. Harry A. Sum-
mers, is a favorite at this office,
and is certainly popular in the
territory where it circulates.
The editor has opinions and he
expresses them in a clear and
emphatic manner. The News
has not stated who it favors for
Governor, as not one of the prob
able Democratic candidates seem
to suit him. He thinks Judge
Quin, now the Mayor of the city
of Louisville, will be nominated
by the Republicans, and he fur
ther says that it will take a
mighty good man to defeat him.
Pick out the candidate you think
can trim him, Mr.. Summers, and
let the press of the State read
who you would have nominated
to make a winning race. So far
as we are concerned we would be
satisfied with any capable Demo-
crat, and we believe either of
the prospective candidates men
toned would make a good Gov
ernor.

SILENT ON NEWBERRY CASE.

Although Vice President Cool

spokesmen Of the Harding ad-
ministration in his Brooklyn
speech, he was painfully silent
on enc of the most notable
achievements of of the present
administratinn-the seating of
Senator Truman H. Newberry in
a purchased seat. Nor did the
Vice President refer to the fact
that during the long drawn out
and bitter controversy over the
Newberry case he remained
silent. Although neither by
word or act did heJ attempt to
keep the Senate uncontamidated

rally created remarks here at the
Capital, and doubtless at home,
because Mr.. Coolidge entered
politics as refomer and a puri
flying agent. Still, a public off
cial who can see ''an almost in

to construe the seating of New

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.

President Harding's decision,
according to press reports, to
take no active part in the election
of Republican Senators and Con-
gressmen this year is thus com
mented upon by Chairman Cor
dell Hull, of the Democratic Ma
tionaI Committee:
Il think l can readily under
stand this attitude of the Presi-
dent. Most of the sitting men,
bers, it appears, will, through
the strength of their respective
local machinest, be renominated.
t is evident that the people have
already made up their minds to
vote for sweeping changes in the
present complexion of Congress.
President Harding's attitude of
keeping aloof offers striking.
proof that while he. in common
with the Old Guard crown, was
anxious to see Newberry seated,
he cannot work himself up to
the point of engaging in person

on this Congress, therefore, is
the fact that Republican leaders
