New Attorney Opens Office.
\ Another Attorney hasbeen added‘
to the local bar in the person of Mr.
J. i\Broadus Norman, of ‘WNorwood,
who has opened a law office on the
fourth floor of the Five Story Build
ing to begin the practice of his pro
fession, He is a r;,{&ént graduate
Q‘OH} télag,Mer.Cszr; Lziw School and has
’se‘Tect 1 Fitzgerald as his location
from the strong impression the town
lmade on him while here for a day
or two last June, and from the un
reserved endorsement of our city
his friends have made to him.
Mr. Norwood comes here well pre-
S his work. | Besides the com
mm law course, he received
ree ir. 1911 and taught
Eadie Cly \bfwls of Washington,
Wilkes cmy. two years following
his graduation. In his law class he

ing of Constitutional law; was chosen
by the faculty to deliver the law
class address at Mercer commence
ment, and was also given the prize
as the first honor graduate of his
ciass. ;
Col. Norman has been in the city
a week, during which time he has
been busy preparatory to opening
his office. He is rapidly making
friends and does not hesitate to say
that Fitzgerald is the best town he
has seen anywhere in Georgia.

present at the teachersexamina
tions in the city last week, Of the

Young Men Drown
Saving Girls’ Lives
In Savannah River
Columbia, S. C., July 381.—J.
Calhonn Cason, aged 25, of Ab
beville, and William McCelvey,
aged 30, of Mount Carmel, two
of the leading young men of Ab
beville county, were drowned
while trying to rescue the two
daughters of Clerk of Court Per
rin, of Abbeville county, while
the young women were being
dragged down by the current of
the Savannah river at Millwood,

POLAND T 0 BE FREE OF RUSSIANS.
Warsaw Being Evacuated. '
London, Aug. I—The anniversary of war’s outbreak passed with
out the Germans occupying Warsaw said to be part of their program.
However news of this climax to the Austro-G :rmain offensive in the
east is expected hourly, for what little information is allowed to leak
through declares the Russians for several days have been withdrawing
to the Brest line, leaving small forces to fight rear guard actions so
that the main armies may make good their retreat.
These rear guard actions have developed into fairly large battles,
as the Russians, whove steadiness has been phenomenal in face of
defeat, are offering stubborn resistance and delivering powerful coun
ter attacks, They have prevented Field Marshal von Hindenburg from
throwing thore of his troops across the Narew, repulsed German at
tacks northeast of Warsaw and driven back to the river some of the
invading troops who crossed the Vistula south of Warsaw,
: VICTORIOUS ADVANCE
In the southeast Field Marshal von Mackensan continues his vie
torious advance. He has swept aside the resistance of the Russians
and forced tnem to retreat along both banks of the Bug. The Ger
mans already have passed Chelm in pursuit. Thus on this front the
retirement of the Wursaw armies is seriously threatened.
During the month of July Berlin says the Germans captured
more than 95,000 Russians between the Pilica river and the Baltic
alone.
: HOPE TO CRUSH RUSS
It is not yet certain whether the Russian armies can make good
their retirement from Warsaw. The Austro-Germans huve moved up
very strong reinforcements to hasten their encircling movement, The
appearance of fresh troops also suggests that the German staff will
net bé satistied with the capture of the city or even the destruction of
part of the Russian. army, but, should this be accompiished will at
tack the Brest line and endeavor finally to crush the entire Russian
forces. .
Meanwhile the Germans who appear to have an inexhaustible sup
ply of munitions, are fighting desperately to retain every position they
hold in the west, They have recaptured part of the trenches lost to
the British near Hooge and are tryng to regain what they lost to the
Feench in the Muenster region of Alsace. <
body was recovered this morning i
after an all-night search. That|
of McCelvey was found shortly
after he was drowned.
l The Misses Perrin, accompan
ied by Cason, went in bathing in
tthe river. The young women
'soon got beyond their depth and
;Iwere being carried down when
their screams for help attracted
Cason, who was in the water and
McCelvey, who was on the bank.
Cason swam to their rescue, and
2ot the young women to safety,
bu’ overtaxed by the effort lost
his own life. McCelvey never
arose above the water after
plunging headlong from the bank
with his clothes on.
