OF the Colored Methodist Episcopal

Chancery Court judge last week, be-
cause of her honest dealing in distri-

It is legal axiom that Where there
Is a will there is lawsuit, Gran :

post box at Jackson, Tenn, was the
property IF the bishops Sister, Miss
Cora Winchester, school teacher. The

ing to R. l. Moore, attorney and ad-
ministrator of the estate, but declined
to do so.

and fair dealing, Chancellor Beiact

ment at hearing in the case Of
Clyde Wheeler, who had been charg-
ed by his divorced wife with con-
tempt Of court for not paying the $40
a week alimony ordered by Judge

The case was continued by Judge
McEvoy in order that Atty. Lawlor
may have q chance to check on the
an10unt Of wages that Wheeler Is re-
ceiving. After an agreement has
been reached between Atty. Lawlor
and Atty. Percy Graicerstein as to
just how much the man Is getting,
