ASSAILING WILIi OF
TUE LATE E. J .D EM) Y
Proceedings Commented in Probate
Court for the Purpose of Proving a
Will in Due Form.
An action has been brought in the
probate court by attorneys represent
ing Mrs. May Finley as petitioner, ask
ing that an order be granted to require
Mrs. Lulu Dcndy, widow of the late
Mr. E. J. Dendy, to prove in due form
of law the alleged last will and testa
ment of her husband which has been
admitted to probate in common form,
and letters of administration with the
will annexed, have been granted to
Mrs. Dendy, as no executor has been
appointed.
A hearing ha3 been given by Judge
of Probate O. G. Thompson, but the
case was not carried to a conclusion by
reason of the absence of two or three
important witnesses.
Mr. E. J. Dendy, commonly known
as "Coon" Dendy, died on the 8th of
October, 1902, possessed of a considera
ble estate of both real and personal
property, leaving two wills bearing
date of June 18, 1898, and October 7,
1902, respectively. Under the provis
ions of the will made in 1898, Mrs.
May Finley, niece of the deceased, is
named as a legatee and devisee. In the
1902 will no such provision is made and
the petitioner will seek to have said
will and testament set aside on the
ground of incompetency, alleging that
said instrument of writing was ex
ecuted while the deceased was fatally
ill, death following within a few hours
after the paper had been prepared.
The petition of Mrs. Lula Dendy, as
administratrix with the will annexed,
of E. J. Dendy, deceased, recites that
Mr. Dendy departed thi3 life on the
8th of October, 1902, leaving in force
his last will and testament which was
duly executed on the 7th day of Octo
ber, 1902, thereby revoking all wills
previously made by him.
Mr. Dendy died on the fourth day af
ter being attacked with appendicitis.
Ono of his attending physicians who
was present when the will, purporting
to be the last one, was written, says
that Mr. Dendy was in full possession
of his facilities and that he was not
suffering very much for several hours
before and during the time of the ex
cution of the will, which the deceased
himself dictated and signed while he
reclined on his bed. After the will was
prepared, which was between 9 and 10
o'clock on the 7th of October, Mr.
Dendy was that same night driven to
the depot, and accompanied by a phy
sician and one or two relatives he was
taken to Augusta for the pui ;><>:.<? uf
having an operation performed but the
patient died shortly after reaching the
hospital, which was on tho?morning of
Octobers, 1902.
The case is of considerable interest
and a final hearing will probably be
given in a short time when the result
can be known perhaps.
The proponent of the will is repre
sented by Simpson, Cooper & Babb,
while Johnstone, Cromer & Todd repre
sent Mrs. Finley.
Dr. J. D. An-;tin of Rock Hill was in
tho city for a brief visit during the
past week.
Mrs. Lula P. Dendy and Mrs. J. W.
Turner of Mountville were in the city
Wednesday.
Mr. Neal Knight was in town Friday

Mr. Laurens Dorroh was in tho city

Mr. W. R. Richey, Jr., returned

Mr. and Mrs. Thos. J. Layton of

Lyceum Season Closed.
The Lyceum Course which was held
this season under the auspices of the
Laurens Mills management came to a
close Friday evening with the appear
ance at the auditorium of "The South
ern Trio" and Mart King, a charming
story teller. The feature of the eve
ning's entertainment was the singing
of numerous orignal Southern songs by
"The Southern Trio," composed of
three Georgia girls who are artists of
culture and distinction.
The season's course was a decided
success from first to last, every at
traction put on being of a very high
order and in every way deserving of the
liberal support accorded by an appre
ciative public.
HYOMEI KILLS CATARRH.
Its Healing Balsams Kill All Catarrhal
Cm ms SoId Under Guarantee.
There is no more common disease
than catarrh, and none that is more
dangerous. It weakens and debilitates
the whole system, if it is allowed to
run, leads to serious, and sometimes
fatal complications.
It is a note-worthy fact that among
the many medicines and treatment for
catarrh, there is only one which The
Laurens Drug Co. sell under their
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure, ? Hyomei Nature's
remedy for the cure of catarrh.
No dangerous drugs are taken into
the stomach when Hyomei is used.?
Breathed through the small pocket in
_ baler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, its healing balsams penetrate to
the most remote cells of the throat,
nose and lungs, killing the germs of
catarrh, healing the irritated mucous
membrane, and making complete and
lasting cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of an inhaler that can be carried in
the purse or vest pocket, medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, costs
only $1. The inhaler will last a life
time, while extra bottles of Hyomei
can be procured, whenever needed, for
only 50 cents.
The Laurens Drug Co. are selling a
good many outfits at this season, and
they bave so much confidence in the
remedy that they guarantee to refund
the money in case it does not cure.
Do Not Over Plant.
The following very interesting letter
from Mr. Wm. V. King, Supt. N. Y.
Cotton Exchange, was received by
Richard Cheatham, Secretary of the
Southern Cotton Association:
Mr. Richard Cheatham, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 19th
inst. is received. Thanks for Presi
dent Jordan's cotton statistics, etc.,
which give the facts clearly and intel
ligently.
In my opinion the coming planting
season will prove to be the most try
ing if not the most critical in the ex
perience of the cotton growers of the
South. Trying because there arc many
who believe 10 or 10 1-2 cents will prove
so serious a temptation to the planter
that he will put every available acre in
cotton. This opinion is not confined to
this section of the country alone, but is
endorsed by many of the good people
of the South, not planters of cotton 1
am glad to say.
It will indeed prove a critical season
for the planter and for the entire South
should the temptation to over-plant in
cotton be carried out. The years of
splendid work of your Association to
gether with that of others who have
co-operated, will be swept away, and a
condition of servitude for the planter
will be reenacted with its consequent
6c or 7c for cotton.
This is not an extreme view of the busi
ness. It is certain to occur unless the plan
ers stand solidly together and for their
own protection diversify the planting,
putting in a moderate acreage only in
cotton. If the planters will not protect
themselves in a matter of ach vital in
terest, to whom can they look for help?
Certainly not to the buyer and the
consumer.
To sum up the matter, the situation
for weal or for woe for 7 cents or for
12 cents is entirely in the hands of the
planter. In a brief interval of time
the world will know whether he has
proven false to himself or has had the
courage and manliness to resist the
temptation which now threatens to
wrest from him the control of the situa
tion.
Your3 truly,
Wm. V. King.
White Man to Hang.
Columbia, March 16.?A Supreme
Court decision filed today seals the fate
of Bob Smalls and John Noll, North
Carolina white men, who were con
victed last spring in Darlington of the
murder of a negro named Frank Scott,
whom they shot on the public highway,
the white men being in a drunken and
rowdy condition. Smalls was only 22
years old, and Noll was just 19 at the
time of the killing. Smalls was given a
death sentence, and Noll, being recom
mended to mercy, got a life sentence.
Smalls was sentenced to hang last May.
The Supreme Court affirms the results
in the lower Court, and Smalls is to be
rc-sentenccd in the near future.
You can always find here a complete
line of cooking stoves and ranges in
different styles and sizes. They are
sold under a guarantee that if they do
not give satisfaction we will cheerfully
refund your money.
