    3. Probate Court County of Pickens, SC Sarah E. Martin & J. T. Youngblood as Administrators etal Plaintiffs Against Lucy H. Spearman, etal Defendants This action was tried before me this day all the parties being present by their attorneys. It is an action by Sarah E. Martin and J. T. Youngblood as administrators with the will annexed of the estate of W. W. Martin, deceased and is brought for the purpose of subjecting so (?) much of the real estate of the testator as may be necessary to the payment of his debts. It was proven to my satisfaction that the administrators had published a notice to debtors and creditors, that about $200.00 had been presented to them against the estate for payment, that there was no personal property of any kind of money which belonged to the testator and which could be subjected to the payment of his debts and that therefore it was necessary to sell real estate. The defense tried to make it appear that the testator owned some personal property, at the time of his death, and which some of the witnesses did testify to several articles of personality, yet there was a total failure to show that an! y of the property mentioned by them belonged to the testator.

N. Murphree, and others and containing 130 acres, more or less, be sold by the Probate Judge on Saleday in December next or some convenient Saleday thereafter on the following terms to wit: One half cash and the balance on a credit of twelve months. The credit portion to be secured by a bond of the purchasers and a mortgage of the premises. It is further ordered that the proceeds arising from the sale of the above mentioned tract of land, or so much thereof as may be necessary, after paying the cost and expenses of this action and the sum of $100 to C. E. Robinson, plaintiffs attorney as fee for his services in this case, be turned over to the administrators to be by their use ___ in paying the debts established against the estate of the said W. W. Martin, deceased. And if there be any balance the same be held for the further order of this court. It is further ordered that should the proceeds of the land above ordered to be sold be insufficient to pay the costs and expensed of this action and the debts against the estate, that so much of the remaining tracts of land which shall be determined upon hereafter and ….
