NO. 249 WATS.ON WILL 10 , BE CONTESTED BY SENATOR’S WIFE She Objects to Liberal Legacy Left By Dead Senator to Mrs. Alice Lytle M’DUFRE PLANTATION AND WEEKLY PAYMENT The Widow Gives Notice That These Items Will Be Called When the Will Comes up For Probation. The will of the late Senator Thomas E. Watson is to ne contested by Mrs. Watson on the ground that the sena tor was entirely too liberal in the matter of his legacy to Mrs. Alice Louse Lytle, who for fourteen years has been associated with him in his work; This announcement will bring a small sized sensation in Georgia and will be of real interest in this city, where Mrs. Lytle resided for many years previous to her joining the staff of Mr. Watason. t Mrs. Lytle was at various times, while a resident of Brunswick, en gaged in newspaper work on the Brunswick newspapers and was re garded as a very bright woman. S’ leaving Brunswick she has been con stantly associated with the Tom Wat son activities, both in the publica tion of his several newspapers, in his ! various political battles, etc. "When Watson was elected to the United States senate in 1920, Mrs. Lltye ac companied him to Washington and has been his close advisor and confi dential secretary during his senator ial term, which was suddenly ended by death same ter days ago. The step taken by Mrs. while of a unique character, will not come in the nature of a great surprise to those who have been closely identified with the Watson household and general situation; for many months there has been a rumor of discord between Senator and Mrs. Watson, because of Mrs. Lytle, which it is said, has long been an open se cret among the friends of the Watson family. The hearing on the matter of pro bating the will has been fixed for November 13. The, story of the situation, is told ir. the following special: Augusta, Ga., Oct. 9.—Mrs. Thomas E Watson, widow of- the late sena tor, will contest the will left by the "Sage of McDOffie,” on th P grounds that Mrs. Alice Louise Lytle, who for many years was an associate of the late senator, has been left an exces sive legacy, it was indicated here to day following the announcement that the will is soon to be prub Bed. According to the information re ceived here Mrs. Watson cvill protest the. will because she thinks.to. mu 9 has, been left Mrs Lyt' \ The lr.tej senator’s will provides that Mrs. | Lytle be given a large plantation in' McDuffie county, and he also in structs Mrs. Watson “to pav to Mrs. Lytl-i as long as she (Mrs. Lytle) shall live, the sum of S2O per week.” Contents Unknown Further contents of the will are un known. Considerable speculation has been made by Thomson citizens, but all of these seem to be unconfirmed. It appears certain that a lively court battle between Mrs. Lvtl P and Mrs. Watson will sooif take place in connection with the dispute. The petition by Col. B. J. Stevens, executor of the estate of the late senator, has been filed with the ordi nary at Thomson to probate the will of Mr. Watson. The hearing was set for November 13. Notice of proba tion will be served upon the heirs at once. * Mrs. Thomas E. Watson, widow of the late junior senator from Georgia is now in Washington. She left here -Saturday for the capital city, accom panied by her two grand-daughters, George Lee and Georgia Watson, to place them in a seminary there.

S. Senate, Well Known Georgian Will En deavor to Elect Jurist. Atlanta, Ga ~Oct. 9. —Judge Howard will have charge of Judge George’s campaign for the senate, following his retirement through the persuasion of anti-Hardwick leaders who are supporting George. This was given out today at the George headquarters. They presented to Howard the ar gument that his management of the Walker campaign had put him in a strong position with Walker, and his management of the George campaign, if successful, would put him in a strong position with George, and when his turn rolled around in poli tics, he could virtually get anything he wanted. On the other hand, they argued to him that he should stay in the race and contribute to Hardwick’s election by dividing the ant-Hardwek vote, his political prestige would be at an end. That Howard expects to bold them to an accounting on his side of the ledger in the future is plainly hinted in that part of his statement where he says: “I have always been willing to do for others and have done'much, and perhaps some of them will remem ber.” No speaking dates have been an nounced by George Headquarters. It is understood that George will make no speeches. Hardwick spoke tonight at a mass meeting in Deca tur. Boifeuillet will probably make a few speeches. The withdrawal of Judge Howard leaves five candidates for the sena torship to be voted on in the Demo cratic primary Oct. 17. They are: Judge George. Gov. Thos. W. Hard wick, John T. Boifeuillet, John R. Cooper and Seaborn Wright. Should none of the candidates re ceive a majority in the first primary, a run-eff between the two leaders will take place in a second primary on October 24.

GENERAL REVIVAL AT ALL CHURCHES Will Begin on October 15 and Continue Ten Days With Union Meeting Daily at the Bijou Theater. Plans have been underway for the past several days looking to a re vival for every protestant church in the city to begin next Sunday, Oc tober 15 and continue for ten days. The protestant menisters met yes terday and settled definitely that the revival should begin as planned. There will be two services daily at the several churches whose pastors are in the revival list, those are First Baptist, First Methodist, St. Mark’s Episcopal. McKendree Methodist, Firset Presbyterian, St. James Luth eran and the Norwich Street Baptist. There will be a big union meeting at the Bijou Theater at 12 o’clock daily for men. These services will be conducted by yisiting evangelists and pastors, who will be here during the revival period, indications point to one of the greatest religious move ments Brunswick has ever known as it will be a simultaneous revival. It is expected that various civic or ganizations will lend their aid in mak ing the revval a great success. Yes terday Fred G. Warde, secretary of publcity committee of the evangelistic committee, received the following from R. A. Gould: “I believed there is a real need for the series of meetings planned by the churches of Brunswick. From the standpoint of law and order, such a movement warrants the full support of the whole community, and it de servies and demands tli P earnest ef forts and full co-operation of every Christian to make it a success. Much good should he accomplished, and some will be, but to what extent this will be true rests solely and en tirely with the individual members of the several churches. The real need for a movement of this sort originates with their neglect and the good to come film it, therefore, necessarily irests with them.” GOVERNMENT TO EXTEND AID TO SWINE GROW ERS Washington, Oct. 9.—The United States bureau of agricultural econo mics here today inaugurated a mar ket service covering swine at prin cipal Georgia and South Carolina points.
