WHAT IT REQUIRES TO^SETTLK:
AN ESTATE. i
Few people are aware of the
amount of work and responsibility,
both on the Probate Judge and Ad
ministrator, involved in administer
ing an estate. No doubt this is due
largely to the many changes which
have been made in the laws govern
ing the administration of estates in
recent years with which the public is
not familiar. Fully fifty per cent of
the administrators, executors and
guardians, in closing up cstati;*, de
clare that if they had known their
duties were going to be so numer
ous and arduous they would have been
glad had some one else assumed th<*
duties, and for the enlightenment of
the public this article is published.
Under the present laws of the
state governing the administration of
estates the following steps are ne-:
cessary:
File original will with the Probata |
-Court for probate; obtain certified!
copies and authority for the execu
tor to act. *
Take possession of personal prop
erty and transfer all cash balances;
arrange with representative of stats
tax commission for examination of
contents of safe deposit boxes and
release of the contents.
Collect life insurance policies pay
able to the estate, collect all rent,
interest and dividends as same be
come due.
Arrange for formal appraisal of
the real and personal property for
accounting and inheritance tax.
Make a preliminary review of dece
dent's investments and take such ac
tion as market conditions and terms
of will and condition of estate re
quire, and thus avoid possible loss to i
the estate. y ;
Keep proper records of all caslr and
security transactions in proper books
of account.
Arrange for the publication of no
tice to creditors.
Deposit with authorities initial pay-,
ment to cover inheritance tax thus
taking advantage of 5 per cent dis- ;
count granted by law.
Prepare Federal and State Income
tax returns on behalf of the decedent
and of the estate during administra
tion. Fxamine tax records for per
sonal and real property tax assess
ments and arrange for revision of
amount of assessment if excessive.
Institute inheritance tax proceed- .
ings; procure from the various tax
authorities consents to the transfer
of registered securities.
Make a careful review of estate .
assets and dispose of alT speculative ;
securities that have no place in an
estate or trust fund. i
Arrange for the distribution of
property specifically bequeathed, the
payment of cash legacies and the es
tablishment of trust funds and the
payment of income at regular inter-'
vals to the relatives and friends eri
titled to the income.
Prepare Federal Estate Tax Return
and pay the amount of tax; arrange1
for review of return.
Prepare executor's court account
ing; procure decree discharging ex
ecutors and directing distribution of
the assets remaining on hand.
The above are only the principal |
and unavoidable duties. There are
many other minor ones, but these
are sufficient to show that to admin-1
iater an estate, even though it be stf!
small one, is not an easy undertaking.

NKW (iASOUNK TAX
\V?nt Into Kffect in South Carolina
Tuesday
o
.Columbia, March 23?(Governor Mc
I .cod signed the net .increasing the
state gasoline tax to f> cents a gal
lon and reducing motor vehicle license
fees tonight.
The increased tax on gasoline will
become operative immediately, and
gasoline prices throughout the state
will be increased two cents a gallon
tomorrow morning, it. wa* stated by
Chairman. Waller (I. Query, of the
state tax commission when he was
informed of the governor's action.
The reduction of motor vehicle li
cense fees is retroactive to Januacy I
of this'^oar. As a result of this
feature of the new law the state
highway department will moke re
funds of from approximately 25 per
cent to XI per cent to some 80,000
motorists who have already purchased
I 1925 license plates.
Three cents of each five cents tax
on gasoline will continue to go to
the state highway department for
construction and maintenance of
roads under the act of 1024, com
monly callcd the "pay-as-you-go" law,
with the other two cents going to the
counties for use on roads not in the
state highway system.
The new scale of license fees pro
vides that the license on automobiles
weighing .2,000 pounds or less, each
shall be $ti instead of $12 as under
?the 102.1 law, and that for each ad
ditional 500 pounds of weight, the
fee shall be increased by $11 instead
-of by $(?.
Chairman Query said tonight that
the tax commission was prepared to
scud?uili? notices to nil gasoline
dealers immediately of the increase
in the tax rate. If by any chance
some of them should fail to add the
additional two cents tax( he said in
reply !t> a ' tjuention, they will have
to pay taut amount out of their own!
pockets.
The act, as signed by (lovernor
Aid/cod, was introduced in the House
where it was known as the "Keith
McMeekin Robinson bill, after its
authors. In the Senate i.t was amend
ed to its present form, which the
House accepted. Pressure was brought
upon CioVernor McLeod to veto the
?measure, and he was also urged to
'sign it. ,
Opponents of the measure declar
ed it would reduce the income-of the
Mtate highway department for this
year by a sum ranging between $760,
000. "and $1,000,000. Foreseeing the
possibility of the. proposal becoming
law, the state highway commission, at.
its March meeting, appointed a com
m it tee to suggest plans for meeting
the situation, and this committee is
scheduled to make a report at the next
regular meeing of the commission. A
slowing up of the department's Hi
year building program was seen as
the inevitable result" of the. reduction
in incomes.
A New Yorker's Will
The following is an excerpt from
the will of a Wall Street man, which
has been recently probated in the
New York courts:
"To my wife I leave her lover an<l
the knowledge that I wasn't the fool
she thought I was.
"To my son, I leave the pleasure,
?of earning a living. For thirty-five
years he has thought the pleasure
was all mine. He was mistaken.
"To my daughter, I leave $100,000.
?She will need it. The only piece of
business her husband ever did was t J
many her.
"To my valet, I leave the clothes
that he has been stealing from me
regularly for the past 10 years. Also
my fur coat he wore la5t winter
when I was at Palm Beach.
"To my chauffeur, 1 leave my
cars. He almost ruined them, and I
want him to have the satisfaction of
finishing the job."? Wall Street

Mr. William Harbison NeWbold, a
resident of Chester since the mid
nineties and for more than a quar
tor of a century a member ??f the lo- i
cal bar, died yesterday morning at
the Chester Sanatorium a few min
utes before .one o'clock from the ef-j
focts of a stroke of paralysis last j
Friday.
Mr. Ncwbold was born July 27,
I8t>0, in Washington ccAinty, Te*a>,
His father, Judge Nowbold, was a
brigadier general in the Confuderatc
army. Mr.' Newbold oamo to Sv>vitU
Carolina during the stonily days of
tiovcrnor Tillman's first administra
tion ? to be state detective, and while
serving" in thut capacity figured in j
county, the Broxton Bridge ease, the
the Reese and Luckie case in York
Darlington riot and other incidents
and events that marked those hectic
times; Prior to coming to South
Carolina he; had been captain in the
Texas Hangers, a deputy United
States marshal, and also head de
tective for the Wells-Fargo Express
Co., and had a variety of most in
teresting adventures, which included
numerous clashes with the Mexicans
on the border. He had also serve J
as purser on a vessel operating in
Boh ring sett against the soul poach
ers; and his work as detective and
marshal had carried him over a great
par! ol' I he eountry.
In lK!?fi Mr. Newbold married Miss
Susie Chisholm, of ( hester. and m
year or two later he derided to aban
don tin* profession of detective and
takc Tip that oT 'attorney, and after
the neee^sary preparation stood the
sate bar examination and was duly
admitted to the practice of law' in
South Carolina in '18PK, and settled
in Chester for the practice of his
profession. During, tin* succeeding
quarter of a century and mole that
have elapsed since that time Mr. New
bold was busily engaged in the courts
of the countv, and was counsel in a
! great number of eaaes-. One *>f his
! characteristics at the bar was his
bulLdog tenacity, which caused him
to keep fighting as lung as thero
whs any chance. The most noted ease,
| perhaps, in which ho was engaged
i was the defense of the four negroes,
Crosby, IJriee, ami the two tiriffim,
i who were electrocuted for t he murder
1 of John Q. Lowis, aged Confederate
