The Wesley Higgins will case, in volving around a half million dollars, with North Carolina institutions of the Methodist church and relatives of the deceased as contenders was set tled by compromise Friday in Shelby only two days before'a special term f of court had been called to hear the case. The compromise reached by At torneys Clyde R. Hoey and O. Max Gardner, counsel* respectively for the [ propounders and the Higgins, and mu tually agreed upon by the two parties, flwas an equal division of the big cs ■n$,e ecu the church institutions Joe and David Higgins, nephew 1 .^pid brother respectively of the decca *cd mountain financier.

Late Friday Messrs. 1 Gardner antPHoey reached an agree ment which proved acceptable to the other attorneys and the two parties interested in the litigation with the result that the compromise was sign ed ami held for the formal judgment of Judge Shaw .presiding officer of the special term of court. Interesting Story. To those familiar with the history of the case it will be remembered that on April , this year. Wesley Higgins, wealthy mountain banker and land owner of Yancey county, died from injuries received in an automobile ac cident. At the time of his death he Iliad only two living relatives. These were Joe Higgins ,a nephew and David Higgins, a brother and Confed erate veteran. David H’ggins, who J was «4 ypars of age, bad previously I been adjudged mentally unsound, Jno 1 A. Watson being his guardian. Some I 10 months prior to the death of Hig gins reports had it that he had made” a will leaving the major portion of his estate to the Methodist Episcopal church South. Following his death no will could be unearthed but tnc sten ographer’s notes of the will were found and according to them the en tire estate with the exception of $18, 000 to Joe Higgins and $1,000 to Da i vid Higgins was allotted to institu tions of the Methodist church, includ 1 in^ Rutherford college and the Chil dren’s Home and other general church funds. Claims were instituted accord ingly and protested by the Higgins relatives. This brought on the legal . test for which a special term of court was called. The case was unusual and attorneys on both sides admitted that they would have felt rather shaky had no compromise been effected be fore the coflrt convoked. The deceased man was president of the Rank of Burnsville and regarded as one of the wealthiest men in that section of the state. With the excep tion of $100,000 in cash the entire es-' ' tate was composed of very valuable mountain farm and timber lands. As so much of the estate is composed of timber lands the exact value of it is not known but conservative esti mates place it between $300,000 and :?r,oo,ooo. I Each Side /Pays Lawyers. \ According to the terms of the com j romise each party will pay .their own laywers and the cost of the case .is to he paid out of the estate.

Property owners may pav the full amount of the assessment if they de sire, and thus avoid the interest charge at six per cent. Property owners on the improved streets should also bear in mind the fact that the assessment for street improvement is a lien against prop erty and that when a deed is made For the transfer of any property, it should he specifically stated in the 4eed whether the grantor, or grantee is to meet the annual installment.

Fred Rice, the first one to he apprehended, admitted being in the fracas but attributed his part ft: that of self defense. Substantiate Baltimore's Story. Clyde Skinner and Roy Blackburn, both very young boys, were given a preliminary hearing Monday vaorn ;ng, and both told practically the same story as Mr. Lattimore. The two boys were hangers-on with the others and admitted the others were drinking, stating that “Doc” Black burn hit the Cleveland man over the head with a piece of timber while he was scuffling with the Rices oyer th - pistol. Both boys, according to Latti more’s version and their own. were begging the others not to kill the two and said that after Fred Rice had shot once at the Cleveland man “Do')” Blaclprevented ihim from shooting directly at them a sec ond time. As the young boys corro borated the Shelby solon’s evidence and had given no trouble nt the time of their arrest or during the assault they were given their freedom fol-l lowing the hearing on their own bond; to return as witnesses against the others at the March session ofj court there. Their testimony seeming ly charged the major part of the af fair to the Rices although it was al so damaging to “Doc” Blackburn.

SHERRILL.) .rt iiuguiy nana Irani an exnausuess urn Pours forth a never-ending flood of years." The passing of the years is God’s bells ringing, calling our attention to the flight of time and sum moning us to renewed vigor for life’s tasks. Anoth er “milestone” in the pilgromage of life is past. The going of the old year means the coming of the new. The old year is behind us, a finished volume. The year before us is like. “A flower unblown; a look unread; A tree with fruits unharvested; A path untrod; a house whose room Yet lacks the heart’s divine perfume; A landscape whose wide border lies. * In silent shades ’nea'.h silertt skies; . A wondrous fountain yet unseated_ This is the year that for you waits Beyond to-morrow’s mystic gates.’’, Like the giving up of a dear friends is the going of the old year,. To the old year we say: “Farewell. A long farewell.” Our greetings are to the incoming year, and to it we say: “All hail!” When the mid night bells toll out the old Year and ring in the new, to many it will be a time of fruitful retrospection, and introspection. What has gone with all these sunny days and starlit nights? What deposit have they left in our lives ,and what message have they carried on in advapee of our coming? Like birds on the wing, the hours have gone. Hallowed are their memories! Abiding are the influence and ministries of the angel mercies of the year, gone! “The period of life is brief; “Tis the red of the red rose leaf; ’Tis the flight of the bird on high, ’Tis the gold1 of the sunset sky. Yet one may so fill that space With such infinite grace That the roSc will -wed all time And the gold through the ages shine, And the bird fly swift and straight To the portals of God’s own gate.” At the passing of the milestone in life’s , onward journey we pause to look back, to see how rich and wonderful have been the gifts and mercies of the year gone. To each alike, the king and peasant, the prince and the cottager, the sad and the joyful, one whole year has been given; four seasons in their ap propriate robes of white, green, gold and purple; twelve months in their orderly march; (ifty-twoj goldep Sabbaths; 365 great days; :?65 star-d * nights;. v;iw ftoiacn nours; oily.ituy priceless min utes; and 31,536,000 fleeting seconds—each an an t'd sent out from the inner glory to hear messages of the Father’s infinite love and to afford opportu nities for self-improvement and service for others. If we live to see another milestone, all these same gifts, from the same resource, for the same divine purpose will be our3. “May I reach That purest heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony,. Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty— Be the sweet presence of a good diffused And in diffusion ever more intense—. Sp. shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladne. of the world.” In crossing the Arctic circle the inexperienced sailors wonder why old sailors are so serious and thoughtful. They see the same great ocean about them and the same blue heavens above, and the steamer drives on as before. But the experienced sailors know that they are crossing a line, though unseen to4the natural eye, going south, that carries them from sparse vegetation and a sparser civiliza tion to a land of light, law and lilierty. Much the ■same is the passing of the boundary line between the_4>ld and the new year. The serious soul is con scious of a transition. The man of a great heart pauses as he passes the mind’s milestone. Forward and backward he looks. Also he looks upward and inward. His wisdom is greater than that of Solomon, who knows how truly to make -the transition from the old year year to the new. “Ring out the old, ring in the new; Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going; let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the new. * Ring out old shapes of foul disea e; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old; Rii^r in the thousand years of peace.

He left San \ntooin, Texas, several days ago, he o'd Proprietor II. .1. Brinson, en route to Asheville, where he expected to spend Christmas day with his 'V.eethoart. He flew along leisurely for several days, making stops in Ok ahoma and then across to Cincinnati and then southward to the mountain >n country «.f North Carolina, but he it her was flying too high or he did x>t reckon his speed accurately and e traveled on to Shelby. Finding that he had passed the home city of his sweetheart he hopped oflF again and xpected to he in Asheville and by ’ler side in less than an hour, but the god bf hard luck l>eset him worse than ’ver, for he discovered that his com ’ass was out. of fix and he had lost •’* map. Nothing daunted .however, he decided to take his chances on his ;ense of direction and hopped off | 'gain in wh^t he thought was a wesl ; erly direction. He flew for an hour and still the mountain city did not run beneath h s throbbing engine—and heart. An other hour passed by and he found himself over a town good to look at, hut r.o landing fields were in evi dence, as he circled about and around and the Greenwood folks who were driving and walking about during the afternoon of u perfect Christmas day ■vere sure that the joys of the season vere being given an unusual addition ;n the performance of a free aero dane show. Gas Supply Gives Out. Gafit Hale finally discovered that his gas was about to give out and he larted for the first open space, which happened to be a field near Downs, diout five miles from town on the Piedmont and Northern railway. He hit the soft ground unhurt and, as won as some curiosity-seekers rushed up, wanted to know: “How far is it to Asheville.” “This is not near Asheville. Green wood is right down the trolley line,” he was told. “Greenwood,the devil,” said the exasperated aviator. I never heard of he town before. I want to know what •late 1 am in.” When told he was in South Carolina ‘lie captain made haste to reach the hotel and telephone his sweetheart. He then looked up a map, studied the general geographical position .tried to rest a little, which he couldn’t do when he discovered that he wa3 about 100 miles from Asheville, and then filled his radiator nnd planned for another hop-olf in the morning. He succeeded in taking the air again at 11:30, and the Greenwood people who had heard his story and who saw him speeding his way bird like, northwesterly, 'hoped that he reached Asheville—and his sweet heart. An airplane is said to have landed near Boiling Springs on Tuesday and is thought likely to have been the same plane that landed at Greenwood after losing the route to Asheville, as the Greenwood dispatch reports the aviator as stopping near Shelby and then making another attempt to reach Asheville. While at Boiling Springs the flier replenished his gas supply and -made inquiries concerning his lo cation. Thanks Santa Claus.

To that fight he is de feated and it would be as futile to isk Cyclone Mack or Billy Sunday to ‘lay off” dancing, card playing and evolution, as to counsel Bailey not to hoot at anybody lest he hit. He Might Take Gardner. Though he did his best to beat Max Iflrdner with Morrison, Bailey nev 'r has said he would not yield a >oint for harmony provided his enc odes did the same thing. Whether ho 'hjnks well enough of Gardner to top down and fight under the Gard ner flag, hasn’t become a definite enough proposal to slam such a thing at him. Bailey has said he ■vould at any moment remove himself rrom the contest and enlist under any lag that carried the hope of an earn est fight against the. ruling elders. Me may never have changed his mind about Gardner, but he's certain ' here is no old guard taint about him iml he knows that Gardner has the iffection of the party as no living nan has. Likewise Gardner has its •onfidence. If the party should find t wise to nominate a man able to unite both wings there is no doubt of Gardner's ability to do so. Indeed, for many weeks some ef "ort of this kind has been going on. t found its origin among the origl rnl Gardner supporters who always *elt that what the party did for Craig when defeated by Kitchin, it hould have done for Gardner whose lefeat was even more mortifying ince it involved the repudiation of he party platform on which he quarely stood. Then, Kitchin a# the successful nominee was a far less troublesome man than Governor Mor rison who ran shy several thousands but for Gardner. .•••#* Would McLean Do Likewise? As nobody could promise ivfiab Railey would ever quit so Ipdlf ijp be felt that there was the slightest doubt of the old guard's broken grip, so could no promise of McLean’s at titude lie certain. But it is dead sure 'hat Bailey isn’t going to come down unless McLean does. He might not bave withdrawn for W. N. Everett because Everett is a member of the administration; but the Everett de mand originated in protest of the administration plans and that was omething in Bailey’s favor. 11 S-v; m Flag Raising At New Earl School Friday PlaK raising exercises will be held at Earl Friday night of this week beginning at 7:15 o’clock upon U* opening of the handsome new brick school building.
