Clerk of Court, will show. |? aiut ine death of VV. K. Lewis!J suit was brought by Mrs. Etta I' Thompson, a daughter of the de-l* ceased, together with several otherj* children of the deceased by his first!* marriage, against E. T. Lewis and * Mary A. Lewis, in their own right;*1 and as administrators of the personal ' estate of W. K. Lewis, and the six s children of Mr. Lewis by his second ,G marriage, praying for an accounting s by the administrators of the persona! ' estate and for a partition of the real ^ estate that Mr. Lewis had left. Mary *A. Lewis is the widow of W. R. Lewis' and E. T. Lewis is a son of the fie- I ceased by the first marriage. The children by the first marriage were: 0 Mr. E. T. Lewis, Mrs. Etta Thompson, s Mr. E. Harry Lewis, Mrs. Lena L. (" Hard wick, W. R. Lewis, Jr., Mrs. K Grace Chestnut, Mrs. Gussie Lundy * and Everett Lewis, eight in num- * ber; while by the second marriage ^ there are six children: Freeman A. ijOwis, Hattie Bell Lewis, W. Morgan f Lewis, Winne Lewis, Janie Lewis, t and Mary E. Lewis, all under age. tl The widow and all of these children P by both marriages were necessarily * parties in the suit brought about a a year after the death of the intestate o to wind up his estate and divide the e proceeds among these heirs. u In the course of time the suit earn" tl to hearing and dectees were rendei' ' a by consent, certain appraisers a pointed by the court to divide the ci land having returned that they found si it impracticable to divide the lands in 0 kind. And just here it now appears h that this was a bad mistake if a final adjustment was to have been si had promptly; for while it might have ti caused some expense and hard work e? to cut up the property into rightful tc shares so as to give each heir a part ai of th^ property in kind, yet it would M now appear that this course ou the ol part of the appraisers might have re K A BL i THE ROAD TO WEAL WONDERFUL MANY ARE ASKI NO MIRACLE ABOUT TRESS, LOWEST MAF PURCHASES.

The contest decrees provided for a sale of all his real estate on terms of one-third down in cash and i I he lemaining two-thirds on one ami two years time secured by mortgages t>f the property s .\?itn interest at seven per cent. The real estate was sold under this lecroe on the terms as provided theren. there being four days of sale as 'ollows: December 1st, 1011); January >th, 1020; February 2nd, 11)20; and \pril 5th, 1D20. The total sales of his real estate, as shown by the >ids entered on the books of the 'lork of the Court, at the four sales, vas $169,205.00. The persona! prop-' M'ty had been disposed of by the administrators before that time, and in he suit brought by the heirs for par 111on me accounting tor this was nado and tho balance paid over to the lerk of the court of common pleas >v E. T. Lewis, the active administraor. Nearly all of the purchasers at < he sales of real estate took advanage of the time allowed them as to wo thirds of the amounts hid. As'i o all of the sales made at the first'< luction on December 1st, 1019, the ( econd one third of the purchase mon-\ v has fallen due. It appears that i ome have paid these and some have lot, and the clerk is now having to i oreclose several of the mortgages :iven for the unpaid purchase money. I Mrs. Mary A. Lewis, the widow, < mrchased at the sales of real estate | ids totalling the sum of $70,210.00. < 1" which amount, under the terms of | ale she was due to pay one third | own, viz: $26,403.33 1-3, and to i ;ive mortgages on the lots and tracts aken in by her for the remaining i wo thirds due in one and two years | ime from dates of Durchase. t Mrs. Mary A. Lewis was not satis- < ied with (lie results cominir from \ hose sales, at least the statements of 1 ho various transactions and the aplication of the funds arising from the c ;i!os of real and personal estato; and t lthough she has been in possession 1 f all of the various lots she bought < ver sinco tho dates of the sales on J hich made, renting and managing ?< his property through her confidential I gent and advisor, Mr. .J.

In the early part of this year, as the bids had not been complied with, the attorneys for the plaintiff in the original partition suit, re-advertised the lands she had bought for re-sale. Mrs. Lewis employed attorneys and had the sale enjoined. This came up on motion to dissolve the injunction before Judge R. W. Memminger. Ho dissolved the injunction. The result of this was an order by Judge S. W. G. Shipp that the clerk of court should loan to Mrs. Mary A. Lewis the shares of her six minor children to aid her in meeting the bids she placed on the prperty; and required her to executo to the clerk of court a mortgage on all the lots she had purchased as security to the children . This mortgage was given under date of June 15th, 1021, and was filed with the clerk of court on June 27th, 1921, in the sum r>f $30,000.00, but securing of course only such amounts as she used of the i children's money, with interest fromi the date used. The record shows that on the date of this mortgage she' used of the shares of the children in( runrts belonging to thejn already col- , lected from sales, etc., the sum of $11,f>21.46, still leaving" due on her t)ids the sum of about $2,800.00 still lue on her bids. This mortgage is to 1 be second to the first mortgage held J by the clerk of court for the unpaid two-thirds of such bids. On June 24th, 1021, another order ( A'as obtained by her attorneys, difFerent attorneys from those who oh- < rained the first order. This last orler directs the Clerk of the Court, vithin ten days to pay over to Mrs. Mary A. I.ewis, as guardian for her >ix children, all sums of money! oming to them, and directs that his mortgage that she had given for >er security l>e turned over and m ;igned by the clerk of court to Mr>. Vlary A. Lewis. There is an apparent conflict in these two orders and will ikelv bring about a dispute and probiblv further lit io-M inn In the mean time this large estate ernains unsettled and the chances for itigation as to various matters conlected with it, apparently as good as ;ver, and more delays in sight. o FOR SALE-?Hemstitching and pic ting attachment.

In spite of the hot weather every one seemed to enjoy themselves. Ice-cold lemonade was served to refresh the thirsty. The dinner was exceptionally pood and was enjoyed by everyone. There was plenty and to spare, Although the river was a little full for fishing, they succeeded in catching a large quantity of fish, that were onjoyed by every one present. Some of the boys had a pleasant swim while other had the pleasure of watching them. The crowd broke oin the late afternoon feeling well pleased with the day and left hoping they would have the opportunity to attend another as good next year. RYE SUCCEBDS?IN ALLENDALE Clemson College.?A return of $K0 per acre from Abruzzi rye, with a crop of cowpeas following to pay land rent and cost of production of both crops, is the record of J. S. Kice, an Allendale County farmer who has recently harvested 92 bushels from 4 jacres. At $3.50 per bushel, which has already ben offered, the returns from the rye will be $322 or $80.54 per acre, and Mr. Kice says that this lis one crop grown on his farm this year that is sure to bring fair money. The peas, sown broadcast following ,the rye, will not only pay rent of land ana production cost for both crops but I will help to make the land more productive for next year's crops. An interesting feature of this demonstration in rye was that, having not sufficient seed to sow his entire , planting in pedigreed seed, Mr. Rice bought locally some seed said to be Abruzzi rye but it proved so inferior in yield that he did not harvest that part of the crop. County Agent Z. D. Robertson reports another rye demonstration, whose yield, though not yet threshed, will be as great as that of Mr. Rice or greater. G. Lloyd Ford W.
