WHY W1M.8 SHOULD BK MAUK
Columbia Attorney.* I'rrpure Intercut*
inu Statement on Subject
Three well known Columbia attor
neys, John I*. Thomas, (!. H, KllioU,
brother of l>r. J. It. KUiott' of Fort
Mill, and J. Nelson Crkosyib have re
cently pro pared and kIvcii to the
))ri!Hs , an interesting statement of
why ft i? best for property owikm ;
?i South' Carolina to dispose of their
estate* by will. The statement f<>'
low*:
VTho state i emulates thif dispo.$i
?ion of property, at the death of th*
owner if he; fails to dispose of it. It*
no provision for the disposition of
one's property were made, the prop
erty at the death of the owner woul'l
become vacant and a scramble to
possess it would he apt to follow.
To provent this undesirable result,
organized socJoty hat. provided, tha ,
in the ease of intestacy, 01 the death
of a person'without a will, the state
acts as intermediary, in behnlf of
the public welfare end the property
descends, in accordance'with the sta
tute of dettcevi, to the persons and
in the proportions named in that
.statute.
"Ownership, in the sense of having
en.i controlling property in the rtame
[of ownership* comes to an end with
I the owiu r's death. To prevent the
p*-. amble*..to posses* the property of
j the dece-used person which would oc*

j to a p( i><?n to make a will disposing
of his property, and if he fails to ex
ercise that privilege, then the state
I takes hold of the property at his
I death and disposes of it according to
the Miles which organized society has
doomed proper to formulate l'flr that
lUMpuM*.

races which later became Knglish, the
rise of that rule of property known a
progeniture (or the right of the eld
est son to inherit all of the lands of
his ancestor) under favdalism in the
iMui<)lc ages appears to have created
the occasion and the deinanil for dis?
posing of property by will,
"Whatever may have been the
causes for the development of testa
mentary disposition of property, it
has certainly long been established in
our law and the privilege of making
a will should be much more seriously
considered and generally availed of
than is the case today Many person v
some Of them possessed of large es
tates, keep on deferring the matter
of executing their last will and testa
i merit: until deajth conies suddenly and
unexpectedly and withdraws the priv
ilege which they might have exer
cised. The disposition of largo es
tates upon the death of the owner
entails a great responsibility upon
the person who has accumulated the
?property during his or her lifetime.
"Not only is it incumbent upon
them to make wise disposition of
the property for the benefit of those
near and dear to them by reason of
blood relationship, but every think
ing man or woman, to whom has been
entrusted the administration of con
siderable estates during his or he.
?lifetime, should give serious thought
and consideration to the manner in
which that property should be di*?
posed of at death so as not only to
care for the interests of those who
are dependent upon them but also
so as to best advance the causes of
religion, philanthropy, art and other
great causes which should not be lost
sight of by broad minded persons,
"If due and careful attention is
given to the matter of the prepara
tion of wills, when persons are in
sound haalth both in body and mind,
much more benefieient disposition
could be made of property upon the
death of the owner thereof than
where the state is left to handle th<
property under our statutes of
descent and disposition.".
Votes A gainst Waterworks
Florence, March 20.?by one vote,
the proposal to build a new water
works plant in Flore nee was lost in
the election held here today. City
Council sought authority to borrow
$250,000 to put iruthe new plant to
tak'e. the place of The artesian wells,
.which are not giving an adequate
-^mply. It was'council's intention
to establish the plant on Black creek
and use the water of that stream.
The vote resulted 174 for the new
plant and 17f) against. Only 385 per
sons had registered for the election.
It is not known what will be done
now to solve the question, which has
become acute. It is stated that the
present city administration, which
goes out of office on June 9, will
take no further steps, leaving the
proposition for the new administra
tion to wrestle with.
RKJECT8 OKDKR FOB CARS

1 ** '
'?Here is an order, duly signed by
the proper executives, for 1,000 of
your cars."
What salesman wouldn't gulp and
grab?
Retail orders for motor cars in lotv
of 1,000 come to the aventue salesman
ab('?ut as often as ico peddlers visit
the Eskimos. There are only a few
in history.
Vet the incident referred to- -about
the signed order for 1,000 ears- ^ac
tually happened. And what make
it remaikable Is the fact that the
salesman turned it down! says \Y. li.
Dekoache, of the DeBoache Motor
Company. .*
C. II. Jennings, Dodge Brothers
dealer in 'New York City, throws .some
clarifying light on this puz7,lei\ H<
.says:
"This Dodge Brothers salesman ha 1
been working for several years on a
large national account?a company
that operates cars by the thousands,
in every part of the country. The
company was buying Dodge Brothers
ears regularly, ten, fifteen and twenty
and more at a time, On several oc
casions the chief buyer had made the
remark that, -if you fellows would
only grant a discount, as others do,
we might order in larger lots.'
"The salesman, of course, pointed
out the desirability of buying the
1,000 cars ^pyhow, regardless of
Dodge 'Brothers no-discount policy,
but the executive declined to recede
from his position. The latter then
prepared what he afterwards referred\
to as his psychological coup. He
knew that the salesman would be
calling again so he had an imposing
document drawn up calling for the
delivery, at a specified date, of 1,000
Dodge Brothers Motor Cars of va
rious types, at full list price minus
!0 per cent.
"When the salesman called, a feu
weeks later, the official simply hand
ed him the order."
" 'That's serious,' said the official,
'We need-cars and we want Dodg..
Brothers cars, but you can't have the
order unles you abide by its term?_
You've got to give us the quantity
discou nt.'
"The salesman made the same an
swer that he had always made be
fore, but out ?-f deference to the
customer and the exceptional size of
the order, promised to take it up with
the factory. The subject came before
us when 1 was assistant genera! sales
manager of Dodge Brothers." sai<l
Mr. Jennings, "arid 1 distinctly, re
member how quickly it was settled.
There wasn't a moment's quibbling.
M 'We want to do everything pos
sible to retain this company's busi
ness and good will,' said President
T\ J. Haynes, 'but the ^policies- laid
down by John F. and Horace Dodge

no margin that permits us, to sell at

Mr. Hayncs also pointed out that it
would l>e entirely unfair to the indi
vidual buyer if ho were asked to pay
a higher price for his car just to
make it possible for Dodge Brothers
to attract large buyers through the
quantity discount. Moreover, he .said,
j the company that buys 1,000 Dodge
Brothers'cars already has an advan
tage over the individual who buys
one, because the natural advantages
01 Dodge Brothers ownership are
multiplied a thousand times.
''What happened to the order for
1,000 tars? It is still in the desk of
the same official and he never fails
to show it to any Dodge Brother
salesman who happens to call. Bu
he is still buying Dodge Brother?
?ars--buying' as he bought before.
"Like other nationally known con
ccrns, he realizes that the sayjft^s of
feeted through the, long life and low
cost service of Dodge Brothers motor
cars will more than offset any dix
count that might be obtained on a
car of less obvious merit."?adv.
