"Ace” Division of Crown Prince Fails to Hold Town
Against Doughboys From America —Fighting Along
Ourcq is Bitter Struggle For Sergy, Which Has Been
Taken and Retaken Nine Times Since Sunday.
(By FRED S. FERGUSON, U. £.
War Correspondent).
With the American Armies in
France, July 30. —The crown prince
hurled forth the Prussian guards, one
of the “ace” divisions of the German
army, against the rugged American
farmers at Segy in an attempt to
check their advance, but the Ameri
cans threw the crack Prussian troops
across the Ourcq river and today this
famous enemy division is broken, the
farmers being in full possession of
Gegy and the ground beyond.
The standing out fighting along the
Ourcq is a bitter struggle for Segy,
which has been taken and retaken nine
times since last Sunday morning.
To reach this town the Americans
waded waist deep across the Ourcq
river and advanced upon the opposite
bank.
In a hail of machine gun fire they
rushed to the machine gun positions,
swept over them and took the town.
Our artillery aided in holding off
the Boches.
Then the Prussian guards came up.
Behind a German barrage they drove
the Americans from the town. The
later called on their artillery for as
sistance and returned to renew the
attack, fighting through the streets
and behind the crumbled walls.
The enemy machine guns had been
placed behind barricades in the debris
and in ruined churches.
The machine gun shrapnel fire was
so heavy that the Americans lay in
the streets close to the curbing seek
ing even the shalow protection.
The Prussian guards attacked four
times Sunday following the Ameri
cans’ capture of the towm. Each time
the Americans retook it and the fifth
attack was finel, the doughboys driv
ing off th« guards Monday morn
ing, despite the vigorous defense.

A SAFE TEST.
For those who are in need of a rem
edy for kidney troubles and backache,
it is a good plan to try Doan’s Kid
ney Pills. They are strongly recom
mended by Griffin people.
Mrs. J. B. Peel, 231 W. Taylor St.,
Griffin, says: “A good many years
i)go I was troubled wuth my kidneys
ami back. The pains started just
over my kidneys and were very se
vere. I had headaches so that I
didn’t know what to do at times and
nervous spells came over me and
was all unstrung and irritable. Diz
zy spells and little specks passed be
fore me and dazed me. My kidneys
were in bad shape, too and caused mes
a lot of annoyance. I was always
. tired and languid and couldn’t get
sleep enough. Finally a friend told
me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, so I
, got a box. I am pleased to say they
cured me of al Ithe trouble and put
me in good shape.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Peel had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

A BOULE. HE SAYS
Mallory Declares Four Bottles of
Tanlac Relieved Him Entirely Aft
er He Had Suffered 15 Years.
"I wouldn’t take five hundred dol
lars in cash for the good that four
bottles of Tanlac did me," said J. M.
Mallory, a well known farmer of
Stonewall, Georgia, a short time ago.
‘ For forty-live years I suffered al
most every day,” he c ntinued, "and
was so crippled up with rheumatism
that 1 b.ad to hobble around on crutch
es. .My knees were so stiff 1 could
hardly bend them, and often 1 have
been so weak that I have had to take
my bed for weeks at a time. More
than half the time I couldn’t do any
work. 1 had indigestion and stomach
trouble, too, and my back hurt me so
bad that I couldn’t lay on my left
side at all. 1 tried eve ry medicine 1
saw advertised and many prescrip
tions besides, but I kept getting
worse.
‘My brother living in Atlanta told
me what Tanlac had done for him and
begged me to try it. Well, sir, I'have
taken four bottles in all and I have
thrown my crutches away, for the
rheumatism is entirely gone and I
can jump two feet off the ground
without hurting me a bit. I feel as
well as I ever did in my life.”
Tanlac is sold in Griffin by Brooks
Drug Store and Carlisle and Ward,
and by one established agency in ev
ery town.

while speaking on the question of pen

Captain Grantland had arose on
the point of privilege when a motion
was made to reconsider the bill to
establish the State department of ar

He was telling of an alleged attempt
of Mr. Knight to coerce him into
changing his vote, when a voice from
the gallery cried out, “You are a liar,”
repeating the words several times.
The house was immediately thrown
into an uproar and voted to expel the
offender.
Several members rushed to the gal

ceeded in finding Mr. Knight, who ad
mitted that he gave the lie to Captain
Grantland, and expressed regret at
his hasty action and remarks.
Unless a satisfactory settlement is
made, it is stated Knight will be cited
before the house for contempt.

Good Personal Management
-Thrift and Good Clothes
r pilßllTdGes not mean meager
ness or scrimping. It does not
mean going without those things .
which are essential to w elfare or ef
ficiency. Nor does it mean false or
fancied economies.
For false economy is w aste.
Tnrift is best practiced by wise
personal management, by elimina
ting extravagances, by avoiding frip
peries, by doing without nonessen
tials and by getting full value for ev
ery dollar you spend. That's thrift.
•
In clothes, as well as in most things, the best is
always the chespest. It pays to buy good clothes.
It pays in dollars and cents.
You neither practice thrift, nor help your govern
ment, nor add to your self-respect, nor serve your
fellow man when when you neglect your personal
appearance.
The well dressed man gains in self-respect and
confidence. He shows confidence in himself, in his
country and in the future.
1 his stoie is headquarters for clothes that pro
mote thrift.
