W. E J. Veal, who liv eastern part of the county, had arrow escape about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Main crossing of the Atlanta, Bir mingham and Atlantic railway, in Tifton He was struck by a car nnd knocked against the pilot 0 f an in- ming locomotive which in tqgn 'Ockfd him off the track. Deifintc II this, hr was not seriously hurt. Jlr -Vesl was standing near the 1 -ring talking to three other men icn a car driven by n negro. " • * gc Tyrua, came along. A freight train was approaching the . rowing nnd in an effort to get across ahead of it, the .negro made rfluick turn and in doing so struck Mr. Veal, who was..kpocrivi .useiimb > pilot of the incoming locomo- e. Fortunately, the pilot threw i oft and he railed ten feet clear: the track. Georgia's land title system at present is one of the most antiquat ed in thc United States. No per se, n can b e certain that his title is good until he pays a lawyer to ab stract it for him and there are many cases on record where the ablest lawyer* in the state have approved faulty titles, owing to the fact that r.e amount of careful examination can absolutely find the defects. Georgia farmers are especially concerned in the passage of the bill r under debate in the h&use ba ss they will have difficulty In iling themselves of the benefit of the Federal Farm Loan System un til they get some system whereby they can validate their titles i nmplc. efficient and absolutely tain manner. Thc temperance committee of the -Senate reported adversely a bill authorizing drug stores and restsu *•11 soft drinks on Sun- hiving tried ineffectually to overcome the French gains in the Verdun sector between the eastern edge of the i \ocourt wood and Hill 304, the Germans have ceased their costly enterprise and now contenting themselves with throw ing shells into the positions which Gep. Petain’a men forced them to evicuate. Likewise along the Chemin-Dea-Dameg the violent iafantry activity of the early week has ceased, •'ll Brit “ h nn< f '^ e Germans continue their violent ar tillery duel* in northern Belgium, and Field Marshal Haig’s forces are keeping up their harassing patrol raids. One of the most successful of these enterprises was carried out east 05 •'‘°nchy-I£Pri*ux. in the Arras sector, in which the British gained ground and took prisoners. , Heavy artillery fighting continues along the northern • front around Riga Dvinsk and Smorgon the extent of the op erations has not yet been revealed. The probable recommencement -of heavy fighting along the Austrb-IUian front seems apparent from the latest offi cial communication from Rome. Heavy bombardments have begun along the entire front with the Italian gunners doing effective work in destroying enemy positions at various points. I n the Jamaina vailed the Italians, following a heavy bombardment delivered a successful raid, capturing 275 prisoners and machine guns and war material. A story from Canadian headquarters in France tells of a gas attiek made by the British at Lens. It lasted for two hours, with what success was not stated. A British statement, unofficial, says that reports from Berlin tell of the sinking of four submarines by the Ameri can transport convoy ~while our troops were enroute to France. There is not enough authority apparent in the story to give it credence. From Rigs, on the Baltic Sea. to the Roumanian fron tier, the Russims and Austro-German* along the entire front are engaged ii battle, but except In Galicia, where the Rus sians continue to develop their advantage or hold back thrusts of the Teutont little ha s yet become known concerning the operations. The Rusdans near Van. in Turkish Armenia, have driven the Turk* from several positions. It is not improbable that Roumanis-sgain may soon become an important thea tre in the war is the Berlin official communication announces that an increui in the artillery activity at varies -pcinta Is noticeable. ^ day 3Tim "McKenna, will also, hi fociated with her Mr*.
