.LITTLET0N GETS ALL
OF FATHERS ESTATE
DAWSON MAN AWARDED EN-
TIRE FORTUNE BY COURT OF
ORDINARY IN SUMTER.

In the Court of Ordinary at Ameri-
Gus on last Thursday Judge John A.
Cobb awarded the entire estate Of the
late Ed Littleton to William Littleton,
his son at Dawson, after hearing
upon a caveat filed to prevent the
probation of a will purported to have
been executed by the deceased. The
decision OF the court refuses to per-
NIT probate OF either the original will
or any OF the codicils thereto.
The hearing upon the case had been
in progress during several days, with
w. w. Dykes, OF Americas, and NJ.
&c. Edwards, of Dawson, representing
the proponents and J. A. Hixon, ].
C. Hols and Henry Clay appearing
for the caveators. The value of the
estate is estimated at approximately
100000 and under the terms of the
original will and codicils presented
would have been divided among the
children of William Litt1eton and DR..
J. G. Dean, OF Dawson.
Much testimony was introduced at
the hearing in support OF the conten-
tons, and considerable interest man
ifest in the decision to be reached.
The case has been appealed and will
be passed on by jury in the superior
court.

Fisher declared, chat Harvard
has been for some time in an
athletic slump. We do not want
to be satisfied with an average
record. We want the majority of
victories on our side. The cues
ton is, how to recover from this
slump?
perhaps the greatest fault is
in the inactivity of the graduates
in interesting boys in Harvard.
! do not mean by that proselyt-
ing, but merely telling to them
the merits of the college, and
what they will gain by coming
here. We do not want athletic
parasites, but we want more men
roofing for Harvard.
"The second reason for our
failure to attract athletes to- Har-
ward and men with the right stuff
in them is the difficulty men find
in working their way through
Harvard. The chances of a boy
earning his board here are less
than half what they were ten
years ago."
There are two angles to this.
First, Bob Fishers own coaching
may explain the slump into which
the Crimson has fallen. Second,
the backwardness of a certain
type of schoolboy athlete to enter
Harvard may be a natural result
of the attitude of the president
of the university, who is usually
at the front of all efforts to
cause shrinkage of football i'm
portance.
The certain type of athlete
mentioned here is not the ''tramp
athlete" but the football PLAYER,
