1Opinion of the Court

Campbell, S.

This is an application for the probate of the will of the testator, which was executed on the 20th day of April, 1927, and prepared by one C. N. Tuttle, a justice of the peace, who had known testator for many years. The testator died a few days after the execution of the will. A daughter is the sole legatee, and a son, Willis G. Johnson, has filed objections to probate on the ground that the deceased did not properly publish his will at the time of execution, and on the further ground that the proponent has failed to establish that the testator was competent to make a will.
