WAR NOT TO END BEFORE
1920, SAYS COL. WILLIAMS
The following interview published
in the Tifton Gazette will be of wide
interest, not only as it sheds light on
the war, but owing to the fact that
Col. Williams is so well known in
Jackson. He was recently promoted
to colonel, notice of which was given
at the time.
Colonel Williams says:
‘‘We need not expect the end of
the war before 1920,” said Colonel
E. J. Williams this morning. “We
should not say it will take artillery
to win the war; that it will take air
ships to win the war, or that it will
take men to vain the war, for it will
require all three to win, and enough
to give us superiority over the enemy
in all.
“We can concentrate and train
men now faster than we have in the
year past because we are prepared
for it, but with the very best we can
do it will be the middle of next year
before we have the necessary supe
riority in men to insure success. The
turn may come this fall,or the collapse
of Austria may end the war at any
time, but figuring from a standpoint
of military certainty, we canont ex

Telephone Troubles
BELL Telephone employees are con

kind in the workings of the equip

as possible after they occur.
Subscribers are asked to report trouble
immediately, and to exercise a reasonable
patience while it is being cleared.
If you do not see a man actually
working on your telephone, it does not
mean that you are not receiving proper
attention.
The difficulty may be at the switch

pect the final decision before 1920.
“The enemy now has 210 divisions
on the Western front, with 40 in re
serve. The French have 100 divisions
and the British 70. The Americans
have approximately 50, based on com
parative numbers. So you see we
have not yet an equal number, and
vie must have such superiority before
the general advance begins that lives
will not be uselessly sacrificed, as vns
the case with the British and French
last year.
“The rapidity with which men are
are being moved is wonderful. Some
of the accomplishments of our trans
ports, if details could be given, have
no comparison in trans-Atlantic trav
el. When the advance begins, the
American soldier will be found the
finest offensive fighter in the world.
It may be safely left with him to in
sure us victory.”

MB. JOHN T. UNO DIES
FOLLOWING An OPERATION
Former Resident of Jackson Was
Buried at Allentown
On last Tuesday, July 2, the hearts
of friends and relatives were sorely
grieved to receive the sad news of the
death of Mr. John T. Land, of Allen
town, Ga., formerly of Jackson.
His death occurred in Atlanta at
the sanitarium of Dr. Noble, where
he was carried a few days before for
a nappendicitis operation.
Mr. Land was 72 years of age and
the disease too far advanced to be
relieved by the skill of the surgeon.
Having lived at Jackson for a num
ber of years, it was here that a large
circle of friends knew and appreciat
ed the rare gifts of character which
he possessed.
Asa pioneer citizen of Jackson, he
was loyal to its every interest of de
velopment and gave liberally of his
time and means for its growth and
progress. He gave to the town a
large portion of Third street and with
hig own hands manifested his interest
in its preparation for a thoroughfare.
A soldier of the Confederacy,
though only 19 years of age at the
close of the war between the states,
he held in his heart the depest devo
tion for the Southern Cause and pure
democratic principles.
The great heart which he possessed
beat only with jtove for those he knew
and the kind deeds of generosity
which were characteristic of his life
speak for the nobility of his soul and
his high regard for his fellownan.
Of lofty and pure ideals, he was a
man of that rare type which impress-
es itself for its genuine quality.
He leaves a wife, before her mar
riage, Miss Georgia Burke, of Jeffer
sonville, Ga., an dfive children, Mr.
J. B. Land, of Montgomery, Ala., Mr.
Truitt Land, Thomas Land, Misses
Florence and Georgia Land, of Allen
town. By a former marriage to Miss
Sarah Helen Sasnett, he leaves three
children, Mrs. R. L. Smith, of Jack
son, Mrs. O. A. Crittenden, of Shell
man, and Mr. W. N. Land, of Sparta.
His children rejoice in the heritage
of his good name and the loving es
teem of those that knew him most
intimately.
