The sadly-mixed conditions of land litloa in Colqidtt county lias long been a fruitful source of litigation. A case of considerable local interest is now in progress and the Savannah Press speaks of it as follows: “The parties litigant are Mrs. Jennie L. Graves and others against. H. T. Crawford, William McMullen, John McMullen and John W. Hightower, and tho land in dispute is situated in Col quitt county. At tho outset of the caso Mr. Marion Erwin of Erwin & Callaway, proctors for the complainants, announced that a large number of rocords in tlm case were strangely missing. Mr. Onllawny in speaking for the plaintiffs, ■ had some caustic tilings to say. Hn said, among other tilings, that down iu certain sections of tho most beautiful portion of. Georgia, referring to Colquitt county a state of practical anarchy prevailed. Tho judiciary, ho said, is frequently changed, new decis ions made necessary and juatioe ham pered by the fear of the witnesses to testify the troth. Mr. Callaway asserted that the chalD of titles undor which the defendants claimed tho land in disputo was a fraud out of the whole cloth. Ho said that every deed under whioli they claimod for a period of 60 years, though purport ing on tlioir face to be modo by many different parties at times, extending all the way through the poriod, were made by oue person, ou one occasion, and that the papers had then been mutilated in order to give them tho appearance of being old. A died proporting to bo mado by Mr Jool F. Graves, whom, he said, at oue time was offered a professorship at Yale University, contains the same had spalling t lint existed in all of the other deeds and muniments of title. Title was spelled tital; number was spoiled uomher; other was spelled outlier; nine ty was spi lled niuty, otc. These things, ho contended*, were unmistakable evi dences of fraud. He then introdneed tostimouy whioli he olaimed proved con- closively that certain deeds were rank est forgeries. HIGH PRAISE ForThomaevllle High School by Uni versity of Georgia Agsnt.
