ESTATE LATE JUDGE L A.
BUSH OF CAMILLA WAS
VALUED AT $285,580
The estate ot the late Judge I. A-
Bush is valued at $285,580.89 by the
appraisers who filed their report with
Ordinary W. M. Bunch last Saturday,
December 16th. Messrs. Q. B. Biggs,
A. R. Biggs, D. L. Turner, Jas. L.
Palmar, and T. E. Palmer were ap
pointed by the court to appraise the
property and they were busy the
greater part of last week going over
the papers and books of the deceased.
The largest single item in the re
port of the appraisers was 1,620 bales
of cotton, stored in warehouses at
Camilla, Pelham and Sale Citf. Some
of this cotton has beau held .In the
warehouse for several years and
siderable loss in weight and damage
due to storage was figured off by the
appraisers. Deduction
to eover warehouse and gin chargee.
The net value of the cotton was esti
mated at $160,000.
Judge Bush owned 6,285 acres of
land at the time of his death. The
land, together with certain city prop
erty, was appraised at $66,605. Some
time- before his death Judge Bush
had deeded some six or seven thous
and acres of land to his children, so
that covered by the report of the
appraisers covered only about half
of the lands he owned up to a short
while ago.
The item of next ImportancTTr
point of sise was that of notes held
by the deceased, which were apprais
ed at $25,550. The list of notes
not large and a large per cent of them
were appraised at fact value.
Stocks and bonds held by the de
ceased were appraised at $20,600. All
but a few hundred dollars of this
amount represented stock held in
Mitchell county banks and business
concerns and were appraised at par
value of stocks.
Open accounts due the estate were
appraised at $459.81, whieh was ap
proximate book value.
Household furniture, live stock,
feed, implements and equipment was
appraised at $10,465.
ilia items listed above represent
the whole estate left by Judge Bush.
Pew men of Judge Bush's wealth
leave their affairs in such excellent
shape. For years hs had been
the largest farm operators in this
section of the stato and, as everyone
knows, it has required the highest
order of business ability to offset
farm expenses with ths receipts.
Judge Bush had a system of his. own
which worked successfully for many
years and did Justice to his croppers
and employes as well es himself. He
lost a good deal of money, no doubt,
during the past few years, due to the
slump in the price of farm products,
but a large part of this was regained
by holding on to most of his eotton,
which can now bo sold at elose to 25
cents per pound.
REV YORK CHRISTMAS
CLUB WILL SHARE IN BIG
PLUM TO BE SLICED
New York, N. Y.—The dletributk>L
of $190,000,000, saved by Christmas
dub depositors under a plan which
assures them of spending mosey for
Christmas, has begun by Christmas
dubs operated in 5,000 banking insti
tutions throughout the United States.
This huge Christmas fund is to be
turned over to 5,000,000 depositors,
who Joined the dobs with the idea of
"saving for spending."
The theory that thrift could 1
tanght by lndndlag the bimm to aax
tor spending purpossa was advanced
by Herbert t. Kawl-ia 1910, when he
founded the Christmas Club. Ine^ and
Immediately'encountered almost
opposition oa the part or bankers to
whom the Raw! plan looked foolish on
Its taco.
Mr. Raw], president end treasurer of
the Christmas Club. Inc. says ths
number of depositors who have Joined
ths Christmas dub and the amount
they have saved furnishes ample art-
lenee of the truth of the old proverb,
'A penny saved la n penny earned."
Mr. Rawls thinks the ail important
thing Is to get people to save and the
endc towards which they are laving
will take care of themselves.
The site of this year's Christmas
club distribution greatly exceeds the
most extravagant hopes.
The Staten Island Savings Bank,
Stapleton, S. I., Is one or the first
banks in this district with a Christmas
club to announce the distribution of
Christmas savings to depositors in the
club. Ite announcement disclosed that
the club would play Santa Clans to
depositors. Among them will be
distributed checks averaging $100.
Tabulation by districts of the “pen
ny savings" to be distributed shows
that Pennsylvania Christmas club de
positors saved the largest amount,
$22,859,740, as compared with Massa
chusetts,. $17,845,300. ranking second,
and New York. $17,172,210.
