Tift County Returns
Tax Receiver Fletcher Finds 6,000
Acres of Land Not on
the Books.
GRIFFIN. Aug 9—Tift County tax
returns for the present year show an
increase of $57,357 over the returns
of last year. Figures were compiled
by Tax Receiver George W. Fletcher.
Three districts*. Chula. Omega and
Eldorado. s-«how increases, while five
Tifton, Tyty. Brookfield. Brighton
und Dosia, show a decrease.
An interesting fact concerning the
returns was that nearly 6.000 acres i f
unreturned land were found by the

books. This in part accounts for the
increase in returns. The increase in
1912 was $15,945.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—Nishet Wingfield,
Commissioner of Public Works at Au
gusta, has come out in favor of the civil
service plan for the employees of the
public works department.
Now that the policemen and firemen
are to be removed from politics, Mr.
Wingfield thinks that the city should go
a step further and throw the mantis
of protection over efficient employees of
the waterworks wul other departments.
The public works department receives
a shake-up triennlally. just a9 every
other department in the city, for a new
Mayor gets in eevry three years and off
go the heads of those who happened to
vote against him.
• Mr. Wingfield argues that Augusta
wants just as competent men to look
after the water supply as to patrol her
streets or light her fires.

word with regard to the action of the
police commitee here yesterday on the

F
BASIS OF SUIT
JUST DECIDED
Heirs of Seaborn Jones Win Long
Fight for Large Tract of Land
in Jenkins County.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—By a recent
decision of the Supreme Court of
Georgia the Chew family, prominent
people of Eastern Georgia, have re
covered 1,200 acres of rich farming
land left by their grandfather, the
late Seaborn A. Jones, and worth
approximately $40,000. The land is
located in Jenkins County, near Mil-
len.
Before the Civil War Seaborn A.
Jones Mas one of the wealthiest
in this section and was a foremost
citizen of Burke County and Waynes
boro. Jones married a Northern w r o-
man and from this union there were
two hoys and two girls. When he
made his Mill -shortly after the Civil
War his heart Mas heavy and his
hatred of the North Mas intense be
cause of the defeat of the Southern
arms.
Forbids Northern Residence.
He stipulated that if his wife should
carry his children into the North to
live, or if they remained on a visit
above Mason and Dixon’s line for
more than three months at a time,
the mother should no longer be guar
dian for the children.
One of the daughters, Mary, was
Mooed and won by William H. Chew.
The property of the late Seaborn A.
Jones was divided equally among his
four children and Mrs. CheM- decided
that she wanted her husband as her
trustee instead of the trustee her
father had provided under the will.
CheM 7 received an order from the
court to be trustee for his wife. To
the Chews M r ere born three children,
Benjamin A., Hull S. and Rutn.
The property had been left by Sea
born Jones to certain trustees for his
daughters, which they Mere to hold
in trust for their use during their
lives and at their deaths to their
children in fee simple.
William H. Chew sold the land to
a Baltimore concern that in turn sold
it to W. O. Wadley and thus It re
mained until the death of Mrs. Mary
Jones CheM- in 1906, when action was
begun by her children to recover the
land which their grandfather had in
tended for them to have.
Sale Declared Illegal.
The suit has been in the courts
ever since. It was wdn by the Chew
heirs in the Superior Court of Jen
kins County and lias been won in the
Supri me < Jourt. * -
Wadley simply purchased land
from William H. CheM- which Chew-
had no right to sell and the sale was
declared to be illegal despite the fact
that Judge Gibson, in chambers at
Augusta in March, 1873, passed an
order authorizing the sale.
The courts have held that William
H CheM- has the right to sell only a
life interest in the estate owned by
his wife and he was not entitled to
sell the realty because it was left
to the mother in trust to be held for
her children and to be awarded to
them in fee simple.
The case created much interest in
this section. Pierce Brothers, W. K.
Miller and Judge Horace M. Holder
represented the CheM- heirs, and
Judge A. L. Miller, of Macon, repre
sented Wadley.
