their devotion to the branch colleges of

upon the members of the House, as the
representatives of the people of Georgia,
to stand by these brancti colleges, and he
would stand with them through thick and
thin.
Dr. Felton spoke in a most animated
manner, and during the course of his re
marks ho was frequently so vigorously
applauded that the speaker was forced to
I call the House to order.

band of Mattie A, Woolfolk, defendant’s
intestate his first wife, that bv said
Mattie E. he had six children as follows:
Kicdiard F-, Jr., Mattie S., Annie Ko»e-
bnd, Charles II. and Mattie Woolfolk.
The petition sets forth that Richard -F.
Woolfolk was a man of large means, hut
after the war, finding him,,elf involved,
turned his property over to his wife, all of
which went into the hands of O. W. Hew--
ard, the administrator aforesaid. That
Col. Woolfolk by this means pla e l in the
name of his wife all of the property
that he possessed save n bare
sufficiency to pay his imlr|>tedneM
then existing, his in'et'em being l ut hie
properly could be u*••-: t r V- - ip;> ,rt and
maintenance of the cHiitlceit hy ins second
wife, who were all at th it lime small, and
after her death theproi-erty should iuves
in the children.
That, upm the night of the 5th of
August, 1887, Col. Woolfolk, his wife and
six children, all of them being minors and
unmarried, were murdered, all dyingOfn-
testate. It was thns that Col. Woolfolk
died without having completed his inten
tion of having the title to said property
fixed to as to secure it to his surviving
children.
The petitioners claim that Mrs. Wool-
folk was murdered before her children,
and that they survived her; that the peti
tioners are nearest of kin to said children
and are their heirs at law, the said
children and said Woolfolk were the
heirs at law of said Mattie E., and that in
either case, whether as heirs at law of
their father and their brothers Sad sisters,
who were so murdered, or a* the objects ol

property.
The petitioners further claim that they
'demanded settlement of C. W. Howard,
the. administrator of the estate, and a di
vision thereof in kind; that there are no
debts against the estate; that twelve
mouths have fully elapsed and he refuses
account to them for the property in ques
tion, valuing it at $20,000, to all of which
the petitioners claim they are entitle^d.
Thev, therefore, pray that C. W. Howard
be and appear at tlie next term of the
court,.to show why he did not turn over

of io much of it as may have been sold,
and the rents, etc., therefore in his hands.
