department was busy hunting the

was spent in getting the camp equip

cession people on the outskirts of the
camp, including watermelon and
peach venders, lunch dispensers and
soft drink dealers, did a thriving
business, for the soldiers were all
hungry, as their mess was late. The

Important Bills on
Land Title and Debt
Land Title and De
In Subcommittee
Two important bills before the House
of Representatives, one roviding #
method of validating land (rtles and the
other a method of creating and validat
h\’ the incontestable debt, have been
referred to a subcommittee by the
House Committee on General Judiclary
No. 2, of which Representative Wohl
wender, of Muscogee County, is chair
man.
The action of the committee was
taken Wednesday afternoon, when a
hearing was scheduled on the measures.
Tn a letter to Mr. Wohlwender, 8. G.
MecLendon says of the bills:
““The pussafe of these two bills will
place every farmer in Georgia where
not rxceedlnf one-half of the value of
his real estate could be put into easily
negotiable {o%m. and all possibility of
litigation at maturity eliminated. The
farmer would thus be equipped with a
paper which he eould use as collateral
for any part of the gross amount, and
reuse ag often as he might piease dur-
Ing the life time of his incontestable ob
ligation."”
