Greenville Takes Lead in Attempt
to Organize Yearly Displays
of Fine Steeds.
GRKKNVILLE, 8, C., Dec. 13.—Of
paramount interest to hors** showman
in North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama is the proposed
plan of forming a horse show circuit
in South Carolina, composed of the
cities of Camden, Darlington, Sumter,
Columbia, Greenwood and Greenville.
The Greenville show, an annual
event of eighi^years’ standing and the
biggest horae fair held in the South,
would be an important factor In the
proposed circuit. It is suggested that
the first show be held at Camden, be
ginning April 1. and that show's be
held in each in turn, the last in
Greenville, probably during the first
week of May. The annual Washing
ton, D. C\, horse show is to be held
Just after the first w^ek in May, and
as this is to be the first of the North
ern horse shows it is believed that
the Northern horsemen will be in
duced to bring their horses South and
place them first on exhibition in the
various cities of the South Carolina
circuit.
The prizes to be offered in the cir
cuit, as proposed, would aggregate
$10,000.
The Greenville shows in the past
have been attended by exhibitors
from practically every Southern
State. Foremost among the cities rep
resented is Atlanta, which always
sends a “bunch” of entries. Among
Atlanta exhibitors here last year
were Frank Inman, D. Nym McCul
lough, J. K. Ottley and others, who
had a carload of prize-winning ani
mals.

Parents Quarrel and Part, Leav

Grandfather.
GRAYLING, MICH, Dec. 13 —
From poverty and the obscurity of a
little country town to a fortune of
$2,000,000 is, in a sentence, the Alad
din-like story of 21-year-old Elvin
Leschappelle, of Grayling. Within a
few weeks the young man will enter
Into his share of the estate left by
his father, a millionaire lumberman
of Northern Wisconsin.
The boy has been living with his
grandfather, Delbert Taylor, since he
was a child. His mother was Mary
Taylor and she was married about
22 years ago to Joseph Leschappelle.
The young Frenchman was hot-tem
pered and they quarreled within a
month of their w’edding day. He left
Grayling at night in a rage and never
returned.
Mother Weds Again.
After the birth of her son the
young mother felt called upon to
support herself, since her father was
poor. She secured a divorce from
Leschappelle, and, intrusting Elvin to
her father, left Grayling. She is
married again, has reared another
family and resides in Wisconsin.
Her former husband was an ex
perienced woodsman and when he left
here went to an obscure lumber
camp near the northern boundaries
of Wisconsin. He rose through the
successive grades of lumberjack and
foreman to timber cruiser and then
to speculator in timber lands.
He bought large tracts of heavily
timbered country when pine was
cheap and did not sell until years
later, when it had become scarce and
dear. He also married again and one
son was born to the second marriage.
Investigates Reoort.
The millionaire died recently and
word eventually reached Grayling
that Elvin was heir to a part of his
father's estate. His grandfather in
vestigated the report somewhat, but
was too poor to establish legally El-
vin’s claim. The boy’s chances to
share in the fortune were dwindling
when R. Hanson, Grayling’s foremost
citizen and himself a millionaire lum
berman. heard the rumor and im
mediately interested himself for El
vin. 1
He took the boy to Detroit and se
cured a competent attorney. Inves
tigations were prosecuted in Wiscon
sin and Elvln’s relationship to the
founder of the Leschappelle fortune
was conclusively proved. As a result
the estate is being wound up and
Elvin will share equally In the $4,-
000,000 estate with the half-brother
he has never seen.

We wish, however, to call attention
to one error, which I am sure was
accidental.
In your article you stated that Cor
dele had 200.000 bales of cotton this
year, where you should have stated
that Cordele had 100,000 bales.
Desiring that our city have no mis
leading figures placed before tHe pos
sible home-seeker, we desire to make
this correction.
The bare facts regarding Cordele
and Crisp County are marvelous
enough and almost beyond belief.
We are receiving a great many new
citizens through correct publicity,
and wish to keep "on the square” as
well as "on the firing line.”
Thanking you, I am. very sincerely
yours,
